Van Dijk

Is he really even that good?

He’s been elevated to near mythical levels by Liverpool fans on here over the past few months and now I’m expecting to see a combination of Rio Ferdinand and Jesus Christ.

Will be interesting to see how he plays for a side who don’t sit back every week making him look better than he maybe is.

Oh, so the other clubs only spend crazy money on players they didnt want?

Defending spending stupid money already, yesterday they were laughing at Mourinho saying 300 mil is not enough. 75 million on a second rate defender IS enough I guess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, but net spend, building a side, etc etc...

I'm glad that you (as a neutral who has criticised United in the past) has pointed out this obvious hypocrisy (or should I say hyklopprisy).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a nice new word you've come up with there. Very creative. Great stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks, but it's not new. I used it when Klopp resorted to long-ball tactics within hours of criticising United for doing it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even disregarding the fact he was talking about United's general play and not firing a defender up in the final moments of a game to nick something and Liverpool being at the top of the shortest passing stats throughout the season. You should make a new word for stupid, then get it tattooed on your head. You know, just so everybody knows before having the misfortune of having a conversation with you.

Shock as Liverpool fan finds way to defend Liverpool manager

And now of course Klopp's comments about the Pogba fee also have to be taken in the context of... well, the context of however you choose to spin it, I suppose.

Take it in whatever context you like. It'll be a stupid one as that's what you've demonstrated you're capable of but then that's your prerogative. Free speech is even for the stupid. That's why we have others like you who vote Brexit and Trump into power. Democracy ey?

What a bizarre leap of the imagination.

Perhaps you should go back to randomly slagging off Feyenoord and the Dutch league.

What was random about it? I put two and two together with the guy who is angry over Liverpool signing VVD and having Feyonoord in his username. It wasn't quite Sherlock Holmes stuff, although I appreciate it may seem so to you little buddy. Anyway, time for some sleep, some of us adults have to work in the morning.

as a utd fan i think vvd is a geat signing even at an inflated price of £75 mill

but at the same time i feel liverpool fans should now shut-tfu about utd transfer spending

paying £75 mil for a cb before the window even opens is not congruent behaviour for a manager who once claimed "I really wait for the day when finally the transfer window closes because I can't believe how obsessed you all are with it," the former Borussia Dortmund coach told the media on Monday. "You don’t believe for a second in things like improvement on the training pitch."

Yeah, but Klopp was obviously talking about net spend when he said that.

Or at least that's what Liverpool fans will try to tell you. It's all about net spend now, and 'building a team'. They, and Klopp, are simply wiser and more far-sighted than the rest of us.

Anyway, as a United fan I'm just glad City didn't get VVD, if he is as good as he's made out to be.

Only time will tell if VVD is worth the millions spent but there is no doubt he is very talented and a big presence in the box.
10th March will be an interesting game... will VVD have the skill and talent to stop a prolific goal-scorer like Lukaku..?

Oh, wait...

We'll continue talking about teams the waste colossal amounts of money......only to have their.manager demonise spending money.

Klopps coaching? Ask Lallana, Firmino or Trent alexander arnold about it.....

Can't believe City have spent £75m on him Robb. Be an interesting derby next year with him against Griezmann.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sad that Countinho won’t be there to share in the joy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, if he isn't hopefully he feels like Owen when he left to win the CL only for us to win it that year.
