No van dijk caused it. You are talking in hindsight because he didn't flop. At the time of the transfer he was not even top5 CB in the league so that amount was outrageous which opened the flood gate for defenders.

I knew VVD was worth more than 50m that City paid for Stones. It's on record that i rated him above world cup winners like Boathand, while with Southampton.

A club you play for matters, that's why many of you slept on him, when Conte didn't. Klopp paid more than 60m that Conte wanted to pay, because he has eyes to evaluate individual abilities of a player.

Everything changed when City took Stones for 50m. After his first season, every Rudiger-defender started kissing 50m. If Stones, an English man, went for 50m in 2016, Leicester would be very stupid not to cash out on a Maguire that looked better for English national team and in an average team like Leicester.

Melvyn11:
raumdeuter I don't see Bayern paying that amount.

We will see. It will all depend on the extent of the knee injury, If Sane will move to Bayern, it will be for a fee less than that

But you told us that agreement was in progress, almost a month ago. I don't understand your own definition of progress.

26 years old maguire going for 85 million is so ridiculous

Younger and European proven de ligt is not up to that amount

Maguire average at best ,good in set piece and long pass as a defender

lol Na rudiger you dey yab or wetin

You wan kill Bayern ,Bayern no go fit pay as u say jare

Man City and Fraudiola caused it all. Van Dijk has proved his worth, Stones hasn't.

What worth do you want stones to proove when he has already won 2 Epl titles ?

Mind you stones is average but he did decent

Maybe you want him to win champions league like van dijk abi ,if Na so you dey use judge player then you are bias

Hope you will not also come and say Laporte didn't prove his worth because he he also expensive

Raumdeuter will give you your size. He will be happy to reply you on those local trophies won by his team.

But for me, i'm still waiting for even his village people to give him one individual honour for his exploits under the apari coach.

If you are talking bout him and not the age, you may have a point. Great CBs play into mid 30s so age is not an issue to any serious club here. He may give 7 great seasons to his team, if he is not a Boathand typa CB.

Wtf is European proven? Maguire was decent at the world cup and he has proved himself in the epl. He would improve United defence, hence they went for him. I will add 30m and give Leicester Rudiger, to have Maguire in my team.

At that time of the transfer it was still a crazy amount Liverpool are lucky he has delivered. £75Million for a player not top5 in his position in the league was ridiculous.
If you take stones fee into context you will realize he went for a descent amount. Young English ball playing centre back Coming from having a great season with Everton and you know England players with all the hype. I even dare say Van dijk never had a season at Southampton comparable to stones at Everton and stones was rated higher or maybe hyped more. After Van dijk transfer 2 keepers immediately went for £70million+, 2 defenders have now also passed the £70million mark. I bet you be4 the next 2yrs we will have the first 100million defender.

Even Drinkwater should be going out on loan too

Let's hope and pray they are finally sold

Are you sure you watched John Stones at Everton? Stones made the most errors leading to a goal in his last season at Everton. Van Dijk was top 5 before his transfer, just not publicised because he didn't play for a big club.

We can make more than £100million from player sales next season. Drinkwater,Zappa,Bakayoko,Batshayi,Willian, Etc plus close the to £180million this season already.

You have everything figured out already

Why haven't we sold willian?

He hasn't done anything reasonable for us since he came here.

With all that money, we should be able to purchase quality players that can go on to win the epl and ucl

which two goalkeepers went for 70m?


Hope say no be kepa follow for the two?
You guys should start differentiating between a buy where negotiations and biddings were made from triggering of release clause.

Van dijk was never top5 in England . He had few injuries and brain fart moments at Southampton.
Never stood out for the Dutch national team when he starts and had average-to-decent tenure at Southampton.
You are blinded by recent bias. As at 2016 Stones was rated higher than Van dijk and the best centre back outside the top6 teams.

It seems you just started watching football.


Stones? Rated? By who?

If we buy this stones for more than 5 million, we dey fool ourselves

stones high price was due to English tax not due to ability

How can that be when even the best centre back at Southampton was Yoshida not van dijk.

Stones may have been higher rated to those who read football, not those who watch it. You can go back and read our comments when Mourinho was chasing John Stones in 2015. Stones hype was due to being a "ball playing English defender" but we care more about defending on this side, and Stones was a walking brainfart nearly every week.

Kimbeast:

You must be joking. Yoshida was on the bench for Van Dijk and Jose Fonte. You don't know what you're talking about honestly.

Willian might not be your regular superstar but he has proved his worth at Chelsea. I remember 2015/2016, he was the only one churning out decent performances week in week out when Hazard, Costa and Fabregas were all doing their three idiots movie. What about Antonio Conte second season?
We should keep him and Pedro in that team as long as their legs are not weary. The coach does not need to play them weekly from 2020/2021 season but their experience will surely add grit and winning mentality to our squad.
That's exactly what Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville did for Man Utd after their 33rd birthdays.
Xavi and Rafael Marquez did the same for Barcelona.

Sorry my bad I am talking about Fonte.

Kimbeast:

Sorry my bad I am talking about Fonte.

Fonte was a great defender. I don't know what happened to him at West Ham, maybe old age finally caught up with him. Both Aldeweireld and Van Dijk became established centrebacks under his tutelage.
