Virgil van Dijk - move back on? (Not presently)

[stss30]

Surely some Premiership clubs would be willing to loan us a centre back. I know Gus doesn't like loans but we desperately need one, otherwise bye bye play offs.

Albion boss Gus Poyet has told The Argus his bid to sign Dutch prospect Virgil van Dijk "is over".
The Seagulls have had two bids knocked back for the rising Groningen star.

Poyet needs a centre-back to help cover the current absence of Gordon Greer and Lewis Dunk.

He will assess his options before tomorrow night's transfer deadline.

But he said: "At the moment there's nothing. It's going to be very difficult."

Typical Argus - this leaves us in limbo. Did Gus actually SAY it was 'over'. The only full sentance suggests NOTHING new?! I still think a deal is possible tommorow... If not, the Summer...

It's like the death of a well loved pet.

Better to have loved and lost...

Actually that doesn't apply at all in this case. Carry on.

Bizarre Transfer Speculation - Virgil van Dijk

I bet we still make a third and final offer at about 10pm tomorrow. Make it any earlier than that and they'll keep holding out for more.

Isn't that the time the window shuts?

I think it's 11pm, and presumably midnight on the continent.

So get him here and do a medical in 1 hour?

Medical schmedical. What's the worst that can happen, he turns out like all our other players?

You mean Burke. Tony has a $250K poker tournament starting in a few hours.

Think VVD has removed those last 2 tweets of his.

Sound like a good tactic to me, if they are desperate for the cash, they will be in touch with us...I believe it's called drawing out the bluff.

I imagine he has been bombarded by Albion fans..

It might not have helped that I've had an argument with him over his spelling.

Yes, that's the most worrying bit if you ask me.

Isn't it time to forget about this one and hope that we find a central defender from somewhere before tomorrow night?

 

[Zebedee]

Perhaps a MOD should close this thread now. Too many words wasted on a lost cause.

Is there no one in the development squad who could step up? rather than a back four shuffle.
