fucking lmao

He's not even that good, lol

If you haven't been watching soton games, their defending is terrible

guess coutinho is gone in the summer

>paying 75£ for a guy to be raped by Marega
FUCKING KEK

Well at least Yoshida could play more.

Also
>djik
A name befitting his attitude. Literally throw a tantrum when the club didn't want to sell him. He's not even that good to begin with (better than Yoshida (and at least Yoshida had that calming quality to lead the defensive line. This guy is a cut rate gallas)

Guys a beast, idk what these guys are talking about. Liverpool needs a big CB.

Great, now buy a GK

you are the reason i am watch Liga NOS this weekend

>buying dutch players in 2018

>people still don't realize that 75m is the equivalent of 15m 10 years ago

Feeling that feel lads

hes shit though

Not sure why the butthurt from everyone. Virgil is a decent defender with fantastic athleticism, technical ability, and provides a genuine set piece force for Liverpool.

>decent defender
Sign him up for £75m then, why bother getting an actually good defender for that price

Don't let thbbis distract you from the fact that Manure paid £90m for the dabbing Wilson Palacios

His decent defensive ability is compensated by his athleticism. And he fits Slipperpool's system perfectly, unlike Lovren he has pace to recover and can cut out throughballs with his long legs/height. 75 million is obviously a lot but the market has changed

>£165m combined for a dreadlocked Titus Bramble and the dabbing Wilson Palacios
>the state of the North West

Yeah, about that...

>eleven billion, three hundred eighty five million, seven hundred fifty thousand yen for the pot smoking Thiago Silva

bargin la

will save us 6 points the scond half of the season
allowing us to be comfy in the top 4, ready for keita, lemar and donnarumma to come in next summer, and we win the league

The 9th ex-Saints player at Liverpool.

For what purpose?

Nope. Inflation doesn't work that way

>people still don't realize that 75m is the equivalent of 15m 10 years ago

Actually, 75m today is an equivalent of 30m in 1990.

And in 1990, the world transfer record was Roberto Baggio to Juventus for 8m.

>can't win the league with Gerrard, Kuyt, Xabi and Prime Torres
>expects to win it with keita, lemar and donnarumma
LMFAO

Just a shame all his hard work will go down the drain when Mignolet lets in any shot at his near post

>outbids you
heh...nothin personnel, kid

>"Haha Liverpool spending money is so dumb!"

This is going to blow up in Sup Forums's faces.

>damage controlling already

>it's an Sup Forums changes their opinion on a player because liverpool have signed him episode

Is he 75 million pound decent? That's 100 million usd. You could go to eredivisie or even la liga and get a defender who is about as good as him (but less toxic to the team and to the club) hand spend literally a quarter that number

every time since klopp took over
all his signings have been excellent

Did Sup Forums ever rate him?

>75m

This has to be a joke

look up the meaning of a term before you use it, Abdul

Not like all the previous ex-Saints flops at Liverpool.
He's literally this season Caulker.

why don't liverpool just buy a good goalkeeper????

>under 1000 premier league minutes in 2017 calendar year
>been awful since coming back

>You could go to eredivisie and get a defender who is about as good as him
lmao

>75m
>on a defender
>liverpoo
I guess coutinho is leaving soon

Celtic will be netting £7million from this

Keep lmaoing all you want. A fact is a fact.

He doesn't care. Before this saga happened he was top 5 PL centre-halves

>seething tinpot clubs jelly as fuck that we can spend £75m whenever we want and turn down £120m if we feel like it

damn it feels good to be big

yes yes keita will be £ 95 mn, though

>75m (world record) for a DECENT defender
you seriously don't know why everyone is laughing?

>he thinks anons can be held accountable for their shitposting
He will be a flopp haha :)

>give Southampton 175m for their players
>20 points off 1st and 20 points ahead of relegation
>big club

Wow people cost more money than they used to. 75 million is nothing special for a player that can drastically improve the club

remember people saying £50m for Johnny Stones was insane?

75m is the new 30m la

>£115 million spent on Ox and van Dijk

Really makes you think

name one defender in the eredivise even close to Van Djik

The first one I remember people saying "this is insane" was de Bruyne. I rated him but even I thought it was a lot. Most thought it was crazy. Then 50 million became standard rate for a youngster going to Man City. Crazy how inflated the market has become

Or £55m for Kyle Walker

Ox has been really good though

buffon 52 mil was 16 years ago

>Kyle walker for £45 million 6 months ago
>Johny Steiner for £47.5 million summer 2016
And they have been proving they are the best at their possition. City bought below market price LMAO

cringe

world's gone mad

this thing is wa overblown, 75m means he's the 6th most expensive player ever, it's still a waste. You could have had players as good as him for half the price.

>nearly all of the big clubs in England been interested in Van Dijk
>Sup Forums autismos: hey why don't they sign this guy I bought on Football Manager, he's great!

This officially puts Liverpool into the guaranteed top 4 spot this season.

Are fucking year lads

Now we can finish above United. This our year, la'

He spent most of this year injured.
He will spend most of his career at Liverpool injured too.

...

imagine liverpool with a good defence

paul joyce @_pauljoyce

Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool to be announced tonight. Undergone medical today. Joins on January 1.

twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/946074357939474432

I hate Liverpool and scousers in general but VVD has the potential to become the best CB on the planet and £75m is the going rate for that kind of talent.

>klopp, conte and guardiola all want him and willing to pay 70m
>he is shit according to Sup Forums

Ehhh until they get a proper DM I won't worry. They always expose the back 4 because their midfielders charge forward to press

Utter brainlets.

Gonna really enjoy memetexting when he's not especially good

Keita in summer la.
>inb4 he's not a DM
literally the black Kante

a defence is more than just a back 4 line

until klopp accepts that, there's no saving them

£7.5m

I'm a Liverpool fan but this doesn't seem right at all
So what, is he as good as world's best CB or something?

he's not a DM

Liverpool only allowed 7 shots in 9 games before Arsenal. The problem isn't the system it's mongy twats like Lovren and Mignolet who let any shot turn into a goal

Well since Bonucci and Ramos are considered among the best CBs in the world, he should be up there too

This basically confirms that Coutinho is gone, doesn't it?

That escalated quickly

And the link: liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/285500-liverpool-agree-deal-to-sign-virgil-van-dijk

Nah, Van Dijk deal was never linked to Coutinho. if we sign Lemar then qtinho is gone

that was confirmed when keita was signed

Pls snap your cruciate.

>zero PL titles
>sell your best player to barca
>give even more money to southampton

HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

at least hes better than their CBs they though

>75 Gazillion for a cheese-eating Medhi Benatia

>I'm a Liverpool fan
>Literally never seen a Jap liverpool fan on Sup Forums
>Follows it with negative post about Liverpool
>Later in the thread an ABL Jap is shitposting


Jon on Jap, jog on

does this mean coutinho to barcelona this winter?

>£75,000,000

Just think of how many bindippers could be fed in Liverpool this winter with that money. Disgraceful behaviour from a club that should know better

looks very femmy

Club always said Coutinho/Van Dijk weren't linked, if Liverpool push ahead to sign Lemar then Coutinho is gone

I will be genuinely impress if he manages to be good

None of the english posters with Jap flags are actually Japanese you know? They are mostly English teachers and students studying abroad.

what would the point be?

>75 million for a slightly above average CB who will probably be a flopp

I'll be keking hard when 5 million pound Klavan will start ahead of him after a few horrible performances
