Thought the place needed a little picking up so here is a, hopefully, successful transfer thread. The acquisition of Van Dijk's replacement, Ruben Semedo (22) is seemingly closer after Saints agreed to pay the asking price of roughly £12m. https://www.abola.pt/clubes/ver.aspx?t=4&id=675927
Van Dijk replacement? Or Fonte's replacement? Does it matter? Should I get attached to him? (Literally)
VVD must have a very poor agent linking him with Liverpool. Surely VVD would want to join Real Madrid, after all Ramos is not getting any younger!!
Why would his agent want him to (potentially) only one make further move in his career? Much better for the agent's bank account that he is first involved in transferring Virgil to (say) Liverpool, and then in a couple of years get involved in another transfer to (say) Madrid. (Anyway, Virgil discussion is on another thread)
We allegedly tried to sign Schar from Hoffenheim in January. I'd like to see us go for someone with a bit of experience, so someone of that Ilk would fit the bill
