Just read FC groningen wants 6million euro for Van Dijk, about £ 5 million. Not sure if he's worth that much..

Player power... who knows. I don't see us making such a bid without knowing the player is interested.

off topic but your signature is incorrect ...
you have 39 goals but only 29 assists !! Also your assists are slightly wrong as well ...
Assists : Bruno:7, Buckley:4, Barnes:4, Bridcutt:3, Mackail-Smith:3, Orlandi:3, LuaLua:2,Crofts:2, Calderon:2, David:2, Bridge:1, Dobbie:1,Hammond:1,Hoskins:1, Greer:1, Dicker:1, Noone:1
True but we're so far off what it appears they want, we should probably concentrate on something else.
Van Dijk played against Bergkamp for four minutes in a 0-0 draw between the two clubs recently. Van Dijk was MOM by some reports. Gronigen just sold a Serbian midfielder to Twente for £6 million plus so I do not envisage it is a club needing money.

If he was English he'd be worth about £15 million

Groningen invested a lot of money in new players after the sold Tadic to Twente. Dutch teams don't have that much money, lots of debts. Transferprices are not as high as in England, but I guess they would still demand about 3 or 4 million, or maybe even more.

Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk
Well 5 million would put us out though if we had money to spare sounds like a good investment.

It's hard to get assists because all the websites have different stats so the only way to get it 100% right is if I watched every single games highlights which I don't really want to do. To answer your point about more goals than points, not every goal has an assist like like penalties, direct free kicks or goals like Maccas vs Charlton...
It's a question of whether or not Groningen are bluffing about the 5 million. It could be they aren't expecting that amount but just want more than the initial bid. It'll need someone with a strong nerve to handle this. If only we had someone that was good at poker.

They should let us have him for 3 million Euros and insist on a cut of his next transfer. Could be worth even more to Gronigen in the end than an extra 2 million now.

I really like the sound of this player, would LOVE IT if we could steal him over our way!
According to The Argus our bid rejected and he is staying put.

I'm not convinced this is over. I wouldn't be surprised to see us get him. It's just not like the Albion to make random bids without knowing (a) the player wants to come (b) he's affordable.
