Mr Angry 2,016 Posted August 12, 2015 BBC reporting that Southampton are in negotiation with Celtic for Van Dijk, it will be very interesting to see if we get involved if it looks like Celtic are ready to sell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruthers1 0 Posted August 12, 2015 We won''t - simple as.I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier thread - we do not get involved if another club is interested. Never have - never will. We prefer playing silly beggars as Steve Bruce can testify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Still, arriving this late, if we are in it, wont give us any good chance of landing him.Everton has probably pulled out, with the news being they are pursuing Evans from Man U.With Koeman being Dutch, Soton will always be favourite,mand therefore our only chance would have been to go for it early, which we didn''t do..Some say we did, but were quoted 10 mill, and dropped out.

Crispy 4 Posted August 12, 2015 We took Hooper from Q.P.R .....We kept Ruddy and Johnson when Prem clubs came knocking...And we are about to snatch Dwight Gale up from Bristol ....I want us to compete for Dijk, please inject this squad with quality !!

mrs miggins 0 Posted August 12, 2015 We took Hooper from QPR when they were in the championship and we were in the PL. If we are fighting against Swansea, Everton and Southampton unfortunately we''ve not got too much of a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 610 Posted August 12, 2015 Van Dijk is NOT a realistic target!He is a standard of player that is beyond us currently.We were never in the running.Southampton are far richer than us, are thoroughly established and are in Europe. Van Dijk was always going to a club like that. We''ll be looking for rough diamonds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HertsCanary93 223 Posted August 12, 2015 Let''s be honest, we can bid as much as we like and offer him our best package possible. But when it comes down to it, he''s going to choose Southampton over us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted August 12, 2015 Plus his mate, Victor Wanyama is at Southampton, look elsewhere for us I''m afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 606 Posted August 12, 2015 IMO Curtis Davis should have been a realistic target. Reliable as CB, and better than Martin.But good old City have completely burnt their bridges with Bruce & Hull, so doubt there''s any chance of getting him, let alone VD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 12, 2015 If anyone thinks we have a chance of getting van dijk over southamoton then your off ya head. No chance, no way at all.No way we will be in for him anyway at £10m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 12, 2015 A few decent highly rated centre halves in the championship who are probably more in our price range.Bruno Ecuele Manga - Cardiff CitySean Morison - Cardiff CityDanny Batth - WolvesCurtis Davies - HullGrant Hanley - BlackburnLewis Dunk - Brighton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Lewis Dunk has just transferred to a new club and is the only real ball playing CB on that list.The championship ball playing CB i''d hope for would be Brentford''s Harlee Dean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Actually, has he been transferred? Thought he''s at the scum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 792 Posted August 13, 2015 Michael Dawson is a cracking shout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradley Johnsons left foot 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Dunk is still at Brighton, Fulham seem to have made a few bids for him though. Who would we rather though, a younger player i.e Dunk, Batth with no Premier League experience or the likes of Dawson, Davies who have both played lots of Premier League football?

swjf50 0 Posted August 13, 2015 There''s no chance we''ll get Van Dijk not with clubs like Southampton and Everton sniffing around. Never.How about Ayala? I definitely think he''s an improvement on Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 606 Posted August 13, 2015 Michael Dawson is a great shout. Is he out of favour at Spurs, or has he been injury prone recently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 108 Posted August 13, 2015 Michael Dawson ? he was signed by Hull for somewhere around £3.5m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted August 13, 2015 He may not be quite ready for a starting Premier League position, but I''d keep an eye out for Reading''s Michael Hector. Reckon he''d be a decent addition and, in time, starting CB. I''d also add Connor Goldson to that category. For now, if we are to change our defence, I''d start Wisdom at CB.
