I see we are still bickering about a couple of million on a fee for Virgil van Dijk.

Just pay it and get him signed! He will be an even bigger influence than Victor.

Do you think we will sell Victor or Mane before the window shuts? I'm voting no.

If the club sell either of them I think we would lose Ronald too.
He has said they are not for sale and selling them would make him look very stupid. Something he would not take too kindly to.

Agreed. Nervous few hours.

I don't think you have a choice, if a player really wants to leave, his time at the club is over!

I thought Cedric looked promising!

[tobinen]

I hope Ron plays tough but who knows what goes on in the background. Schneiderlin had to wait a year.

In other news, Mayuka sold.

We have a defender!!!

[SaintsPaul]

Welcome aboard VvD.

[Legacywr]

So we kept Victor and Sadio? 😊

[tobinen]

Seems that way. I haven't read anything to the contrary anywhere.

[Legacywr]

Looks like we should maybe play him as a striker?

Ha, yes I watched that over the weekend. He does look pretty tidy, I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

[DeltonaS]

The space he gets in the Scottish PL is something else though. I'm not sure those rushes up to the opponents box are a sensible thing to do in the PL.

Evening all

Norwich fan in peace here.

Just a question about how you think you'll line up in the defence now you have the likes of VVD, Fonte, Yoshida, Bertrand, Soares, Caulker etc. I have both Fonte and Yoshida in my dreamteam, and am thinking of dropping 1 or both if they are likely to be dropped.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

[SS2.]

As long as Koeman promises never to revert to [the disastrous] 5 at the back system, Yoshida will provide cover for centre back and full back but, with Fonte & VVD fit, I doubt he'll make the starting 11.

Why so quiet? We were/are a good team. We let ourselfs down today, but made a good game!

Pellewas our best player, but, there are others who shouldn't have been on the pitch!

[uk66fastback]

You virtually gave them two goals today and but for DDG would have at least drawn. Just got to sort out the complacency ... Just bad concentration from one or two. Their first was slack defending to say the least. The second was a nightmare ... You should have had at least a point today.

Thought Pelle attitude in the second half was poor. Virtually gave up, argued with team mates and casually strolling back instead of jogging. Yes he scored two goals but needs to stop acting like a toddler when things aren't happening. Tadic also completely disappeared in the second half. Utd were there for the taking and unfortunately Saints blew it

You need to get you're excellent manager signed up long term. I get the feeling FSG will be knocking on the door soon.
