Apparently the deal was done a while back or agreed in principle (Glasgow Herald), can’t think of a player who I wanted to come in as much as this lad, absolute quality.
I don’t know a great deal about him, if I’m honest.
How would you rate him, Bazza? On a scale of 1 to Wolfswinkle pls.

Still think Vic is going to Spurs before 6pm bazza?
OK, I’ve been battling the Thunderbirds reference that keeps coming into mind each time I hear the name Virgil, and I really thought I’d bested that vision.
However, then I watch this Vine, and as our Virgil disappears into the MRI scanner I’m sure he’s about to drop into the seat of Thunderbird 2.

Ok, to stop this thread turning into Holiday 2015 with Cliff Michelmore, I thought I’d chat about VvD instead.
Pat Nevin described him as the signing of the transfer deadline day, and said he felt he was similar to David Luiz. ie a ball playing CB who wants to make forward runs and also a bit of a free kick specialist.
Sounds interesting. Anyway, anybody want to share any holiday snaps here?
Looking forward to more goals from corners and free kicks with Pelle and Virgil in the box. Hopefully Ron will encourage those surging runs too (as long as someone drops back to cover). Anyone remember the Dutch and their Total Football?
talksport today talking about Virgil joining Chelsea and saying that Arsenal are upset because they’ve offered him the most money (£150k) but he’s chosen Chelsea. Where are they getting this stuff from? How can teams be offering him deals when no deal has been agreed or permission given? It’s as if its got nothing to do with Southampton. It makes me angry to hear nonsense being spoken by people with no idea - Micky Quinn was saying the only question mark over Virgil is his fitness…what because he’s had one injury after vardy stamped on him?
I agree with you Fatso, but he’s one of the top 3 CB’s in the league and is going to attract loads of interest and we all know what avaricious agents are like in turining players heads.
He’s immense for us and I’d be very disappointed to see him sold this summer. I know big bucks could be coming our way, but if it the case he goes I hope Reed doesn’t fuck about playing the long transfer game in order to save tuppence ha’penny on a transfer fee by signing a replacement 2 days before the end of August. If Puel is still in charge, at the very least he needs to have his squad in place at the startof pre season.
