Not the problem, but van dijk raised the price on defenders to where it probably should be, if he were to leave now his price would likely be 110-130

So comparing maguire to him is a bit unfair, not only for the reasons Locke summarized above, but for the fact that pre VVD to liverpool, maguire is maybe a 40-50m buy
