6 of the most craziest off-the-pitch incidents from this transfer window

#3 Liverpool fans crash a worldwide aviation tracking website

The Scousers are still celebrating their brutal battering of Arsenal and are hailing their attackers. Liverpool's defence was mostly unperturbed but that's because Arsenal's attack was toothless. Their defenders still look all over the lot when faced with adversity.

Virgil Van Dijk, Southampton's stone-cold centre back is expected to come to Anfield and put those woes to bed. Well, the Kopites are running short of patience and they took their internet powers to run a new string of fascinating banter.

Word broke out on social media that Van Dijk had boarded a private jet headed for Liverpool. Van Dijk had earlier posted a picture of him sitting in a similar aircraft. Liverpudlians swarmed in on the website and it crumbled under the load of the Scousers' curiosity.

When the jet touched down in Liverpool, some resting individual posted photos of a van being parked near the jet. Turns out the van is the same model as the one that Klopp and Salah arrived in. Need I say more?
