    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    You know I did wonder, whilst watching, how they’d cope with Messi, Couthinho and Suarez running at them with quality players laying the ball off for them. Shall we say I don’t think the score would shown a 0 in the team they were playing for :lolol:

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    You are bucking the trend big time, he’s just been voted PFA player of the year. Do you need to rethink?

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    In fairness the vast majority of fans on here wouldn’t hear a bad word said about Poyet until AFTER the semi final defeat by Palace. Just look back on the thread relating to the end of season event just before the playoff semi final. The vast majority were fawning over him and his talk and...

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    Come on, a Gus press interview made most of feel great, laugh, shout at the screen or want to throw something at it. Now Hughton is much calmer, considered and gentlemanly in all his press conferences but they are completely unwatchable for me :shrug: So yes I’d say Gus press conferences were a...

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    Poyet’s ego getting in the way with the laid back GM I suggest But his overall record was good with players imo Barnes too, although he wasn’t really good enough for us I accept :lolol: I’d forgotten about Matt Upson too :rolleyes: **** me - Bruno too, how could I have forgotten that gem and...

    Fair enough, I hadn’t seen anymore than the thread starters comment.

    Most of those were flyers before Bloom took over weren’t they Oh and Calderon and turning a thug into a great player at the level, as well as introducing a style that blew away League One

    Weren’t we in for him long before Celtic showed their hand?

    Mute point, if we had met the valuation maybe Van Dijk would have got us over the line in that fateful season. He can’t have been that thrilled by Scotland he soon ended up at Saints. Stepping stone is all we’d ever have been.

    Semantics, maybe I should have said recognise rather than spot :shrug:

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    He didn’t discover Bridge or Vicente either but he talked them into coming here. Although it all blew up in our faces he also managed to convince CMS to join the “small club” when much bigger clubs wanted him. He knew a good player when he saw one and the fact that he was happy to promote young...

    [Albion] Virgil van Dijk for £3 Million! (and why we didn't sign him)

    One thing he could do was spot a talented player. Absolute shit at spotting forwards though He attracted players that were totally out of our league and although he was an egostistical **** who irritated the **** out of me with his touting at every opportunity you won’t hear me say a bad word...
