Anyone listen to Neil on the Alan Brazil show this morning.
Did I hear right that he said we could have signed Virgil Van Dijk from Celtic for £6 million when he was managing us but was overuled by the chief scout who said he was too slow !
May go some of the way to explaining our transfer dealings over previous windows.

yes that is correct we could have signed him, i thought it was 10 mill but prob 6 mill with 4 add ons , at the time he said he was too slow and played in scotland a very bad piece of business there steve.

oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.
