Having seen a few videos of him, he is nothing but FLAIR. Also only 21 so has a lot if potential to learn to play Gus' way. Would be very happy with this! I'm guessing he will be first team and not DS?! Possible replacement for GG as and when the inevitable happens.

I don't think we would spend £2m on a possible replacement for GG when the inevitable happens. If we get this guy at that price I would expect him to go straight into the first team. I see his goal scoring record is pretty good for a CB as well 5 in 28, headers one would assume. Exactly what we need, a CB who can chip in with half a dozen goals a season from set pieces.

Including a header, a screamer and a flair deflection.

If the club can pull this one off, I've got a feeling it could prove to be an excellent piece of business. If Van Dijk cuts the mustard, he's going to be worth rather more than we paid for him so perhaps TB looks upon our bid as an investment for the future.

Either that or our Centre Back for the next ten years in the prem....Yeah ok, I know no one stays that long at a club anymore lol... Seriously though, these signings are not being made to bum around in the championship for much longer and I can't seriously believe anyone still things that is the remit. Poyet is being given some serious ammo, we have GOT to start blowing a few teams away. The team is littered with players who have played way beyond the standard we are playing at the moment.

Totally agree. With or without Virgil, we really do have a squad now that should be mounting a serious promotion challenge.
