Jeez... that fee is something else for any defender never mind VVD. That puts a lot of pressure on everyone to deliver. Fair play to the owners for backing Klopp.

Fantastic news, welcome Virgil! Get in the vans boyssss. Also could not have been better timing with Marueens comments in the air ;D
The biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true.

Van Djiks statement on instagram:

virgilvandijkDelighted and honoured to have agreed to become a Liverpool FC player! 🔴🔴🔴 Today is a proud day for me and my family as I join one of the biggest clubs in world football!

I can’t wait to pull on the famous red shirt for the first time in front of the Kop and will give everything I have to try and help this great club achieve something special in the years to come ⚽️ I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Les Reed, the board, manager, players, fans and everyone at Southampton. I will always be indebted to the club for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premier League and despite a difficult last few months I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Saints and have made friends for life at the club. Thank you for everything 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for all the messages of support 💪🏾 I’m now looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting started 🔴 #YNWA

Yes lad!

If he officially joins us on Monday, can he play on Monday as well, or is there a “cooling off period” (aka We have to register him a certain length of time before he can play)?

Welcome to @LFC ☺️ BIG VIRGIL @VirgilvDijk 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Hopefully we're not spending from future revenue.

We were prepared to pay a large fee for him last summer, so I doubt it.

No, he couldn't, there is a period of time, you have to be signed by noon the previous working day to the actual match day.

After what happened in the summer I am in shock. I genuinely thought we'd missed the boat and he'd get his head turned by city or chelsea. So fair play to the club for sticking at it. I suspect the same will happen with Phil but hey.

The fee is about right for me, given the way footy is going now. If you want genuine quality then you've got to pay for it. Who knows, if he helps us win trophies then his value could double in a few years. Not that we'd sell him haha!

You log off for a few hours thinking there's nothing much going to be happening today, and...

Excellent news.  He's the one Klopp wanted, so that's good enough for me and it seems it's good enough for the owners too.  Fantastic to see.

Can't wait to see the pundits praise VVD for single handedly revitalizing or defence when in reality or defense has been overall pretty good this season bar a few notable collapses. If he helps cut out the uncertainty or squad feels after conceding one goal, then that is a major contribution.

I’m really not sure of the rules there.

He can only be registered when the transfer window is open, that's what the window is, basically. Plus, it's a Bank Holiday, so we will need to wait until the 2nd before he is formally registered with the club.

I care not a jot about the price (aside from opposing fan's using it as a stick to beat us with), the price is the price.

Great to get our no 1 targets in Keita, VVD & Salah.
It looks to me as if we have signed another 'average' player. I'll hold back my complete opinion until I see the lad play
