Van Dijk heading to Swansea?
09 Jul 2015 23:43:12
Really? How much? That'll be an underwhelming 4 years for VVD. Does Swansea have a town centre or would he head to Bristol at weekends? What a boring boring boring club. It is a teams result I never ever check. Zzzzzzzzzzz
{Ed007's Note - I can't see VvD leaving for Swansea, I'd go as far as to say that I think he is going to be rather more picky about where he goes than a lot of people think.}

ED. Is he here until January or can/should we expect the unexpected in the immediate term?
{Ed007's Note - It seems that VvD isn't keen on joining on lower level EPL clubs, his agent has said the player's ambitions are not financially motivated.. Take from that what you will.}

Sounds like he could be heading to rangers!

How much longer is VVD contracted to us?
{Ed007's Note - 2017.}

I think with Southampton missing out on Alderweireld, they could come in for VvD. Them and Everton would maybe be the lowest standard of team he would consider but probably the most realistic of who is likely to come in for him. Can't see any of the 'Big 6' bidding for him, although Liverpool could be doing with him!

I actually believe the club that he'll not be leaving until at least after he CL qualifiers. Unless of course an EPL CL side are after him. But for a side challenging for the title in England he's somewhat a risk. Hasn't covered himself in justice in Europe. Now he's a fantastically talented CB. But he's a 'luxury' CB really isn't he. Southampton would be a decent move but hopefully not until January.

He's probably good enough for a Southampton or a Spurs IMO. I'm surprised the only apparent interest has come from the EPL, surely there would be a few Spanish/Italian/German clubs who'd fancy him.
10 Jul 2015 11:34:56
Surprised too kev. Could see him going to Germany. If Schalke sell Matip then that could be a destination. Remember a while ago they were watching him? Think he'd suite Spain or Italy too to be fair. Perhaps we've told clubs where to go until after the qualifiers.

I agree Jim. He likes to take a touch and take the ball forward which is more suited to the slower tempo of Spain and Italy as opposed to the frantic pace of the EPL. More time on the ball to build from the back.

Southampton or Everton and oils be a good move for VVD!
10 Jul 2015 16:39:49
That was my thinking kev italy and particularly spain he'd get that extra two yards on the ball to show what he can do going forward. I'd like him to stay until january, have an impressive CL, and then that may be the beat time to sell him before he is in his final year.
