VAN TO DEBATE

A ‘MASSIVE’ £75million for a defender? So what?!!

Like all big-money signings, people will question the fee Liverpool have agreed for Virgil van Dijk and, of course, it’s a lot of money.

But a player is worth what a club is willing to pay for him. And, in this case, for Liverpool to get the top-class defender they clearly believe is one of the final missing pieces in their particular jigsaw, then it is worth it for them.

Only time will tell if it is a wise investment and, in the meantime, the transfer certainly gives us the chance for endless debates.
