I understand all that ED002, couldn't agree more, like I stated above. but ED001 made us aware that it was in fact VVD/ his agent approaching us with his availability originally and that he wasn't even in our transfer plans? I only use words spoken by the eds as they're usually reliable. It can get very confusing when one ed says one thing and the other ed says different. Of course what ed001 may have said maybe incorrect, but I have to trust what you guys say in this fake media/ reporting world we are in. Apologies if my statement above was incorrect.
{Ed001's Note - yes, I am told it was only Klopp meeting VVD around then. LFC had been informed the player would be on the move in the summer beforehand.}

IOW, although I think Suka is too ruthless, and certainly not a true representation of a Liverpool fan, frankly embarrassing. And although Liverpool did make an illegal approach. which I'm really against, you have to remember that VVD and his agent approached Liverpool, Liverpool didn't in any way 'turn his head'. he brought his attention towards us. We then decided we wanted him and then spoke with him directly rather than speaking to the club first (which is liverpools fault) but you can't make out we turned his head as he very much wanted out beforehand. And on his ambitions to play at a higher level, and you saying Liverpool aren't at that level. have you ever considered that we may think he's what we need to reach that next level? It's called progressing and we've acknowledged he is one player who can help us achieve that. I've no doubt you'll replace him you're experts at scouting/ recruitment. P. s sorry to jump on this page. I'd seen an article saying VVD hadn't trained with the team today at the choice of the club and wanted to see if I could clarify this. Cheers for the into Liverpool South/ Liverpool B fans (joke)
{Ed002's Note - van Dijk and his agent did not approach Liverpool. This started when Klopp briefed a number of jounalists in April with the dole intent of unsettling the four players. Morally reprehensible but not illegal. Klopp then met with the player and continued to contact the player illegally - completely and utterly unaccetable and it resulted in a complaint to the Premier League that sits on file.}
