I see Liverpool have been linked with a move for Van Dijk in January, would be a great signing if you pull it off. 1. As he is one of the best centre-backs in the world and for me easily the best in England but 2 because he is probably the most similar player to Hummels playing today who Klopp worked with at Dortmund and he was a big part in how Dortmund played with his ability to carry the ball into midfield or pass it through oppositions midfields.
Van Dijk would probably knock Liverpool up a level as a team as no offence but Lovren and Matip couldnt lace his boots. He is superior in every aspect to them, better in the air, passer, faster, stronger, better defensively, dribbler, shot from distance, taking free kicks and one thing that goes unnoticed about him is he is a natural leader and captain, he is an organiser and talker and a winner who you can really tell hates to lose and is constantly talking to players or quick to let players know if they've let the team down.
I would prefer him to go to another team as i'd like to see him win Leagues and European Cups as an ex Celtic player but fair play if you do sign him as you will have stolen a march on other teams, I don't know how Guardiola was conned into signing Stones if he'd ever see Van Dijk playing a game before he should have spotted he is everything people claim Stones could be, Stones will never reach the level of Van Dijk.
