VAN DIJK STATEMENT
The rest of the Virgil van Dijk statement reads...
“I have been left frustrated by the club's position that I am not for sale and am disappointed that enquiries from multiple top clubs have been consistently rebuffed. “The period of time that I have just spent injured and unable to play has put a number of things into perspective and made me realise just how important it is to take major opportunities should they arise.
“I have consistently relayed my feelings to senior management at Southampton in what I believed to be private and personal conversations.
Disappointingly, these conversations have regularly found their way into the media.
“I would also like to make clear that I have never once refused to train.
I can confirm that I was asked about my frame of mind and for all of the reasons mentioned above I was open and honest in saying that I did not feel I was in a settled mindset given the circumstances. “Following this conversation the manager explained that he only wanted players who he felt were 100% committed to Southampton and told me I would therefore have to train away from the first team.
“As a proud professional
I am insulted by the suggestion that it was me who refused to train and so feel it is important to point out the true version of events.”[ 此帖被羅力亞在2017-08-08 00:21重新編輯 ]
