Arguably our player of the year signs a new contract. Be happy, Sotonians*.

*intiniki - just pretend like this is the best thing since sliced bread if you fancy winging it.

I wonder if he will. Leicester winning the title has changed everything. Koeman has consistently spoken of the need to keep players together, and we’re getting a nucleus of very good players that I don’t think will leave us willingly. I speak of Fonte, potentially Bertrand (who surely knows where the grass is greener), Long (finally appreciated for the star that he is), Rodriguez (grateful for the faith we’ve shown).

I thought VVD was a go-er. If he’s decided to stay, that is bloody excellent news.

Clearly he won’t sign until after we’ve got Zlatan on the bus

Exactly @Argon, just means we can command a bigger fee for him in the summer!!

Whether you choose to see it cynically or not, that’s just made a lot of money for the club. At the very least, it’s a big fuck off any pay us message to the bigger clubs. The hope is that VVD sees this as “I’ve done well, and am getting rewarded for good service”.

He’s already a superstar in that team. Glad the club seem to know it.

Wonderful news. This is the kind of thing that comes to fruition when you are holding excellent conversations, and philosophically exchanging continually together.

It is clear that Virgil has been enjoying our Ron’s footballing philosophy very much, and has fitted in with the group really well, not just in a playing capacity, but as one of the lads.

A statement of intent from the Club to Ronald, that our philosophies going forward are very much on the same page.

Well done Saints.
