Hello, do any ITK know anything regarding interest in Van de Ven? Seen posts linking us with him, good player but couldn't imagine it being cheap to get him out of spurs.

Also do we still retain strong interest in Yan Diomande? Think his profile is something we miss massively - fast, ball-carrying winger. Watched him play a couple times including against Bayern yesterday and he looked like the heart of their attack. Could have easily registered a couple assists if Nusa knew how to make tap ins.

Would be disappointed if we went for Van de Ven. I don't think he's good enough for us. His hamstrings are the biggest risk in the business.

Van de Ven is made of crisps, horrendous injury history. Hard pass.

Wirtz has a bad injury history on paper too.

Here's the thing, RedScarface. Wirtz is a top class player who is already way better than his teammates even at Liverpool. Van de Ven is lamppost that can run fast - he's better than Konate but not good enough for us, regardless.

I would take Romero over Van Der Ven every day of the week. Yes he's prone to getting yellows and reds but he has been better recently and a much better defender than Van der Ven and an improvement on Konate for me.

I wouldn't trust Romero to wash a car.

Neither Romano nor VDV are coming to Liverpool. Tripe.

I think MvdV will suit P. Hincapie's role at Leverkusen under Alonso. The guy could be handful with those forward runs and damn! He's fast for someone of his build.

{Ed001's Note - but he can't defend and spends half the season out with injury.}

A spurs friend of mine told me this rumour last week. Needless to say he really rates Van Der Ven and was gutted that he's looking to leave.

I told him in no uncertain terms they can happily keep him. He's possibly got the worst positional sense of any CB I've ever seen. It's only his pace that gets him out of trouble. Plus as others have said he's an injury waiting to happen.

No thanks.

Schlotterbeck is more likely.
