Virgil Van Duke hands in transfer request to force through move to LFC. Let's hope it happens now.

He's going wherever he can get. LFC ruined him at Southampton with more tapping up. I'd love to see it but I reckon he'll be wearing blue next season and for a cut price compared to what we would have to pay.

It's to force a move, if anyone else offers the money I'm sure saints would rather deal with them.

or he is sold to Chelsea if SH will not do business with LFC.

He is coming to Anfield.

LFC ruined him?
Virgil is a big boy, earning lots of money. No one dragged him screaming to Blackpool.

He said himself that Southamton have known for 6 months that he wanted to leave.

I think we blew it with VVD he will be a blue of Chelsea. I sincerely hope I'm wrong as I love humble pie.

I reckon he could go to Chelsea no problem.

The transfer request is because he wants us but Southampton hate us.

He didn't need a transfer request to move to Chelsea. It's only necessary for Liverpool to get involved and that's why he put it through.

Would struggle to get in Chelsea starting 11 they don't need him.

Man city will be in for him.

LFC have ballsed this whole thing up and Think he will go elsewhere I'd Southampton have that luxery.

Chelsea have like 17 centerbacks though. He would definitely be a boss at LFC.

Exactly Robin. My thoughts too.

I know we messed up but let's not jump to conclusions. Just wait and see what happens. I think we could get him but, we might have to pay more than what Chelsea would pay for him - compensation for our m**k up. All in all though, this has been an underwhelming transfer window thus far.

Personally don't believe the Chelsea link, there's no chance of him replacing Azpilicueta, Cahill or Luiz, so is he going to go there to be 4th choice or possibly 5th choice behind the current 4th choice Rudiger? Chelsea have more pressing areas to improve, not CD.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea want a centre back and have long term interest in van Dijk.}

Don't forget they've also signed Rudiger, who I assume would expect to be higher than 5th choice.
