Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk

Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk

Van Dijks tweets saying 'lets go' and 'realise your dreams'

Cool, missed that ta

His latest tweet translates as 'sprint training' though...

This feels like a transfer SAGA that has been engineered in it's entirety by NSC. Like Penny Crayon or something.

Yes, Gus had nothing better to on Sunday until NSC suggested he go to Holland to watch a footie match.

At least this is one transfer story that has substance to it - although I fear there's still a good chance we might get gazumped by Ajax or a Prem club if it descends into a bidding war. It would be a coup if we the guy signs for us. £2m+ is a lot but we need a quality CB who has a future and could go on and do a job for us in the Prem. I'd rather pay that than splash a similar sum on an overpaid and over the hill ex-Prem player like Upson.

I don't think [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] necessarily knows where Dijk is going but just wanted to raise awareness of that tweet- he could be going to Ajax according to above.

*crosses fingers*

Sorry, it was this. I have no inside knowledge on this one.

@VirgilvDijk succes in Engeland zag dat de trainer van brighton aanwezig was dus en jouw zaakwaarnemer dus nogmaals succes

[MENTION=20716]Jan[/MENTION]Mennega virgel van dijk ook maar verkopen voor een mooie prijs. Dit mag je nu toch wel als een verloren seizoen beschouwen

'Good luck in the UK, saw that the trainer of brighton and your ballobserver was there so goodluck.

'selling virgel for a nice price then. you can count this as a lost season anyway'

Translated by my Dutch friend, not much in it

"Uitlooptraining" translates roughly as "post match" training

 

[Zebedee]

Given Greer's injury, I hope we have a Plan B, assuming van Dijk is Plan A.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Where's our Dutch fan [MENTION=14408]Werner[/MENTION] when we need him?

 

[chucky1973]

so in a nut shell, he could be on the move, but we dont know where as yet?
Have I understood that correct?

I think so

Plan B is Calderon, until Greer comes back, or Dunk does (if).

According to his last tweet he's at training- this is why you can't read anything into tweets from footballers. They are TEASERS.

Totally agree.

Google translates it as 'runs training'... Either way, it suggests the previous tweets may have been 'tongue in cheek' rather than anything to do with him coming to us (or someone else)!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Naylor is reading NSC, cos hes just tweeted that he wouldnt be surprised if we made another bid for Virgil van Dijk now Greer is injured.
On the ball as usual

 

[wallyback]

Watched the game on the net yesterday. VvD was superb.

Looked and moved like a young Ruud Gullit!

God I hope this happens!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Give them £2mil + another million if he appears for the Dutch national side + Bergkamp on a free

The man himself just tweeted 'realising every dream' - the dream of coming to play football in England

I can't imagine too many Dutch centre backs dream of playing for us!

Sorry, it was this. I have no inside knowledge on this one.

Indeed, it seems clear - we're over there with an interest in buying, so I can't see how anyone here would have any more knowledge than that.

So Poyet was in Holland watching him play against NEC yesterday. Seeing we are already interested, we can only assume that Gus is over there to negotiate a contract?

No. If a fee had been agreed, and we'd been given permission to speak to him, he'd be over here. Gus has gone and watched him play, to decide how much he thinks we can stretch our offer.
