Uhh 70mil for him... "dad" too much? Yeah yeah, this market gone crazy, but this is no excuse, he is not worth being most expensive defender.

Stefan de Vrij(Last year contract), Jemerson, Ginter, Barta, maybe even Koulibaly for that money and use the leftovers for keeper.

Personally, not that it'll take that, but I'd pay £70 million straight up in a heartbeat to get van Dijk.

I don't think there's a better centre-half the PL who's not yet even in his prime. And I fully believe he'd thrive at one of the biggest clubs in World football to become one of the best at his position in World football.

I just don't see any flaws in his game.

I wrote that on him in a thread from Average Joe over a year back well before our interest and I still stand by that assessment: #8

And his leadership qualities, something we're sorely bereft of, would be a massive bonus.

He's the perfect fit for the way we play football under Jürgen and what's expected of the CH's within that. Which is why Klopp's not settled for less knowing he only wants to play one place.

*Edit* We have a 'keeper in waiting already tied down BTW. It's just a matter of time before he get's his shot.

First time I have seen a fan call his club ‘one of the biggest in the world’ despite not winning a league title for 27 years and counting. *Shrugs*

Yeah. You watch more Euro footy than me. Thoughts on:-

Fred - Shakthar
Skrinier - Inter Milan

City linked I take it :) 2 very good players. Skranier really can on a lot this year. Bit of Bailly about him tough as in the tackle but cool and composed on the ball. And Fred is an odd one. Been good for a few seasons and surprised he’s still stayed at Shakthar. Very good technique and and decent dribbler. Loves to get forward from either CM or AM. Be a good option to give KDB a rotation option.

Skrinier seems fav to be the cb coming in Jan, Fred next summer for yaya's position in the squad
 
VVD is probably better than anything we have but all of his best football came alongside Fonte at Southampton, VVD was injured in January and Fonte was sold. VVD has shown little to no desire or professionalism this season, let alone form, and last time we signed Fonte's good-looking partner, his name was Dejan Lovren.

For 70m I'm far more worried than excited, especially after a year's worth of build up

Exactly. He's been so average. Either he can't get his form together, or he's so unprofessional he won't. Neither scenario is a good one for Liverpool. Klopp isn't exactly great at coaching defenders
 
Even he appears to admitting defeat from his bullishness the summer now:

    @mattletiss7 Liverpool fan but just wanted to say Merry Christmas. You get a lot of ***** for being a fan of your club. You were a great player for YOUR team, something we'd all have loved to do. Still hope we get VVD obviously

Given VVD hasn't regained any real form, might as well reinvest that 70m. Largely because City are chasing Evans. Which is equally as mad. VVDs leadership has also been non existent.

On the other hand, Liverpools has as well...

Skrinier seems fav to come in for us, in the more local press anyway. Some majors are still pushing the Evans angle.
 
Skriniar won't come cheap, he's been just about Inter's best player this season aside from Icardi, and they only signed him last window

45mil seems the average on rumours taken in, bout standard for a defender for us.
 
van Dijk not included in Southampton's 18 again.

A good start to the day. I'm liking those apples.
