Liverpool have not signed Virgil van Dijk. Yet. The Southampton defender's move to Liverpool seemed like a done deal at one point, and then, well . . .
See, in the beginning everything is going great. The fireworks have been lit. The plane is ready for takeoff. Van Dijk seems interested in coming to Liverpool. The plane takes off. Van Dijk is so interested in Liverpool that he seems willing to force a move. Alert the media that the transfer is imminent!
Than it all goes a bit wonky.
The plane veers off course. Southampton get mad about Liverpool being so arrogant they think they can just land whichever player they want without Southampton having any say in anything, so Southampton lodge a complaint with the FA.
The plane crashes into the house and blows up. Liverpool publicly apologize to Southampton and declare any interest in Van Dijk over.
Now here's the real question: given the FA's decision not to impose any sanctions and the need for a new center back, will Liverpool try to fly the plane again?
