In my opinion, the way Klopp sets up his teams makes defending very challenging for any defender, and the pressure (due to energetic and swift attacking) that they are often placed under makes it difficult for any defensive player to be consistently good.
The approach makes defending hard as well as having poor defenders. Of course, a confident and commanding organiser at the back is something that Liverpool really need, and he will definitely improve the team, but don't expect Van Dijk to show his best form in the playing environment Klopp fosters.
The other factor could be the price tag. He is probably £25 - £35 million overpriced, and while I personally don't care about that (if a club doesn't endanger themselves financially, they can spend what they like), he may find that the perceived pressure affects his game.
Van Dijk won't improve Liverpool significan

Excellent insight! Clearly I don't have a brain as I've suggested all along.

I find people like Brain quite interesting tbh.
Bit of pop-psychology, but I suspect they’re extremely unfulfilled having managed to surround themselves by dullards so as to give them an inflated sense of self, and then goes online to constantly back a view that literally no-one else agrees with.
However, rather than show a little bit of humility, they then double down and convince themselves everybody else is wrong.
What an arseholė

I'm surrounded by dullards is on here, hence only using the website occasionally, however beyond that you are incorrect on almost all the rest of your assessment, with the exception of the fact that you mentioned you find people like me interesting, which is really no surprise. Obviously you conclude by further lowering your contribution to throwing petty insults at me, completely unnecessarily, which is also no surprise.
