Was that before or after they got pinged for tapping him up?
Liverpool agree deal to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for £75m
Liverpool have agreed a £75m deal to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton.www.skysports.com
Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Van Dijk on 27th of December.
Considering the situation we currently have at CB, not acting in a similarly urgent manner shows the difference in a nutshell between the way the two clubs are run.

Am happy to share the lovely David with you. Interestingly, I've only ever had 3 names on 3 of my replica kits: Ginola was the first (on the back of the HP purple shirt)No, you shared mine
Can anyone guess the other 3?
Don't wanna derail the thread though so no unlimited guesses!
Can you guys PLEASE take the Levy/ENIC stuff to the right thread?????????

Management - ENIC
Thread starter changed from Carlito Brigante Deal to sell Ade to Besiktas has fallen through due to our asteemed chairman. Still arguing over a payment structure for Benteke. Don't do this to us Daniel.....not again

It's not really a valid response though is it. They got the deal 6 months later because they agreed to pay something like £19M more as compensation for tapping him up.
They didn't want to pay the extra, they did it to avoid sanctions.
I don’t know how they persuaded Sbozoszlai to go from one of the most exciting AM prospects in the word to convert into a cart horse for their counter press.
Next step is talks have broken down.
Then we re-enter with Levy leading negotiations
No he didn't, it was a really poor example, as I've already posted on previously.You aren't really making a point here mate.
the question is if it's possible or been done before andTomHotspur provided a pretty fucking good example. That transfer was possibly even more relevant because like our 3rd CB search, they had needed it done the summer before.
Nobody said it's easy to do. Just that it can be done.
lol! Not sure it is for you, buddy
Last Word On Spurs
@LastWordOnSpurs
Radu Drăgușin's agent has revealed that no one has informed him about any offers that might have arrived for the defender:
"It is difficult to talk during negotiations.
Tomorrow, I will speak to Genoa and see if the club has spoken to anyone, but I haven’t spoken to anyone about the contract and transfer.
I know there is interest in the player but officially no one has told me about an offer for Ragusin
We’ll see tomorrow what Genoa tells me."
Brentford could be in a relegation scrap, he is the man to help them out of it, unless Arse or Chelsea offer £150-200m it isn’t worth them selling.
As it may work out for us in the end.
It is the explanation, well known at the time by journalists and pundits alike, that Liverpool had to pay Southampton to get out of a tapping up charge - Liverpool had a bad reputation for that before hence it would be an almost certain transfer ban.
And of course meant they didn't get the player they wanted until 6 months after they wanted him - which was obvious to everyone at the time.
Thank fuck for that.
So if it gets done by tomorrow, you'll see this as the board backing the manager?
If he signs at all it's the club backing the manager.
If he signs tomorrow, there is no argument that the club has acted in a way that is outside its usual comfort zone.
now we have Vic in, who is young, he'll not get lots of chances... Guess we can get away with loaning him for a few more seasons (until 23-25), then if he's decent he's going to want a team.
I find man buns ridiculous, in normal life, inexcusable really, but for some reason I’m cool with it with this guy. Khal Drogo vibes. Football isn’t real life, it’s comic book stuff.
Unpopular opinion maybe.
