Could prove to be the signing of the summer. If he can take a boat up VVD's arse and bring his head out we will have such a squad that the Liverpool scouts will run out of jizz by mid September.
Without knowing to much about him he seems a good prospect. I could see Stephens and Hoedt playing intermittently next to VVD while they both develop, before forming a partnership when Virgil leaves next summer.
quick, this isnt working, lets buy their players before they even sign their players. That cant ****ing fail.
This is definitely a weakness in Stephens game and I think we've struggled against the more physical centre backs since the loss of VD. The long range passing element of his game is another tick, Virgil is decent but not on the level of Toby, Don't know much about him, but positive signs from the tid bits thus far
If you watched him without the knowledge of Saints interest and he stood out, then that's always a positive sign
This is what happens when RAWK lock the VVD thread (again) as it deteriorates into Les Reed chicken bonking abuse 'cos them scousers have a "great sense of humour". While I really hope Wesley signs for us it will fuel the next two weeks sillyness about he who must not be played. Anyone know what formation Lazio play, I'm dreaming of 3 at the back again.
Seems like an excellent signing. The only slight down side is that this will inevitably stir up the van Dijk pot. I can already imagine the "Saints signing van Dijk's replacement?" headlines.
