I think Southampton will sell ... but they will try to get other clubs involved in an auction.

You can only go on what vvd HAS said, and its clear....Liverpool.

But he isn't for sale

Don't think Southampton can afford to leave a player like VVD in the reserves for financial and ability reasons. I would be very surprised if he didn't move but know they will not want to sell to us meaning if we can get him then we'll have to pay top dollar

So it's either Liverpool or stay at Southampton then in your eyes?

Ppd.....no, its just to liverpool. As i said in the article saints can posture all they want but ultimately they know a bad egg is better of away.

Saints wont risk vvd unsettling their whole club just to take the moral high ground, they WILL want too...but they simply cant. Saints could unravel very quickly from this.

Liverpool just sit tight wait for the days to pass until negotiations start, and they will start 100%.

Comparisons to coutinho are madness for obvious reasons.

Or someone else gets involved. Then there is a choice who Southampton sell to.

Firstly, Southampton are not going to unravel from this. They are a well run club, great academy and have a comfortable mid-table team (with or without VVD). That comment is just stupid.

I agree VVD will leave them though. It's incredibly rare that clubs let an asset 'rot in reserves'. It's never been tested (as far as I'm aware) but there's a school of thought that if any club did that then there's a possibility it would be restraint of trade and the player could potentially have the contract ripped up. Although the length of time it would take probably makes court action impractical.

Anyway, he'll most likely leave. Whether he leaves for Liverpool is much, much more debatable. Southampton could just accept bids from Chelsea or City and reject ours even if it's of equal or greater value. Petty, maybe, but a possibility.

If you think in that scenario VVD would stay at Soton with his bridges burnt rather than move to Chelsea or City then you're mad.

People will accuse Liverpool of double standards. Saying a player isn't for sale, then perusing one Southampton have stated isn't for sale.

It will just get worse.

Double standards in football? Sure not!

Liverpool should be thrown out of the league for double standards and made to study the bastions of morality that are all other clubs. A partition should be started.

More pressingly though, have you got a friend who can keep on eye on you for a couple of days if Coutinho doesn't go? Just to make sure you don't do anything silly.

Arounas's all over this like a rash. He's not been this excited since 1995 bless him.
