Eds, do you think Danny Murphy is clutching at straws with him saying VVD is close? I'd love him to sign for us but accepted it was not happening. Why would Murphy keep my hopes alive? I'm sure your sick to death of VVD but it's your knowledge that I believe.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what Danny Murphy has said but right now Southampton are in Austria trying to patch up the damage done to their captain by Liverpool. To the best of my knowledge Southampton are aware of another side want further talks. I am not aware of any offer from Liverpool at this time that presumably would have needed to have been accepted for it to be "close". Perhaps there has been and Liverpool are using Danny Murphy to break the news to the world?}

I don't believe he said that vvd is close at all just his opinion that he will sign.

Yeah I agree with 834, I read the article myself and he never said that we were close, he said he think we should attempt to still sign him, that being said, it's a silly statement to say especially with the crap we've already done.
I'd love VVD in the red jersey but to save us from even more embarrassment (if that's even possible) I'd stay well clear and I know Danny is entitled to his own opinion but I can't see what he's saying as helping our cause.

Oooh, So'ton are in Austria? The country of RB Salzburg? With the sister club in Leipzig? I see where you are going with this. #IlluminatiConfirmed.

I don't believe Murphy said it was close just that he wanted Liverpool to sign him and thinks a deal could still be done. For what its worth Liverpool and Southampton now at least have some dialogue and Edwards is not getting completely blocked out of conversations.

I've heard talk of an Italian side expressing interest, however there isn't the money there that would be from a prem club.

Transfers transfers transfers. It seems we forget that against the top 6 it is us that had the best record. And that's against teams with so called world beaters in 11 positions. And our defense was amazing against them hence why we had the best record, me personally I have faith in our team as it's against the so called lesser teams where we came undone. So it's not a question of quality or additions. It's a completely different question entirely.

And we have won what exactly since raffa left? Everyone else is getting stronger as we wait on 2 players with no plan be if it goes pearshaped like usual.

We had an excellent record against the top 6 sides but over the season we had the 4th best record and that was only secured in the last 90 mins of football. To be the best we have to continue to develop and improve. If we stay as we are we will stagnate.

I think the van Dijk thing is close. That would be a phenomenal signing.

Danny Murphy on Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk


He said: "It would be very wrong to talk about this. ”

However, Murphy is confident the defender will.

I think we definitely need a natural left back, even though mili was amazing. The only issue with mili was that he cut back onto his right foot a lot to get a cross in.
We all seen and know what damage mane did and now we have mo sal on opposite side to open up those teams that need 8 defenders against us.
An upgrade on klaxon and someone to challenge lov would be ideal. Up until January we were all dreaming again then it crumbled. Klop knows who he wants to make us better. And it's not stagnant where you see stagnant I see growth. In my opinion we are getting consistency, two finals the season before and now a top 4 finish. And it doesn't matter how we got there the fact is we got there.
