General/Non-Spurs Transfers

[he is you know!]

So pool signed nabi keita for around 50m and vvd for 75million for the next season ?

Think it was reported as amost 60 due to 10 mil bonus payment to allow transfer.

VVD to Pool

I know footballers are supposedly as good as the buying team is prepared to pay, but VVD is not £75m good. Nowhere near.

I can think of at least 2 times Spurs players have mugged him off in recent seasons. He just simply isn't at good as that price suggests.

This is the club that broke their transfer record to get Andy Carroll.

Suddenly they can no longer complain about Mourinho and Pep spending huge amounts!

It's unreal. I know the prices paid these days are seriously inflated, but at least the likes of City, Real, Barca, PSG etc. are usually getting world class players for their money. VDV is nowhere near that bracket!

Hopefully he'll be as successful as Lovren

World record fee for a defender who isn't even in the top 5 centrebacks in the league. Got to love Liverpool

That is a mental amount of money for a Southampton defender.

 

[mark87]

He's had one good season and all of a sudden he's a 75m player? Liverpool have been had.

 

[TheChosenOne]

There must be a tax dodge or something going on with Pool and their feeder club.

They keep coming back for more window after window.

 

[hughy]

He best part is Southampton will also get 10% of the deal when Liverpool sell him to West Ham for £15m in two years.

He was superb at Celtic for 2 seasons

 

[SpursDave88]

Far too much...BUT....it does strengthen Liverpool. I suspect Coutinho is gone this window, that's the only way I can explain it.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Liverpool fan on BBC saying now they will be unstoppable.

Good defender not great and even Klopp will coach that out of him.

Ha. Jose saying £300m isn’t enough.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Not sure what to make of that to be honest. VVD and Keita are certainly purchases in the right positions for them in the long run.

Moneyball is taking on a whole new meaning though......

 

[SugarRay]

Kane has ripped him apart on a couple of occasions

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Will be interesting to see how an individual impacts a defence that's biggest flaw is its organisation and coaching
