I was listening to Ferdinand talk about him in the studio (and I rate Ferdinand as a top class defender) thinking, he is far better than you ever was 

Absolutely agree Ferdinand was a great player but Big Virg is definitely a step up on him 

[aRdja]

He came not to play.

He really should be getting around five a season 

 

If or when we get VAR in the league, I reckon he could have at least 10 league goals in him. No way to stop him on set pieces without fouling him.

 

It would also require more than 50% of our corners clearing the first post, which is probably asking too much though.

[Lario]

The best part, well not exactly but, "the best part" is nobody mentions either his, or Alisson's, price tag. 

 

Hes probably the the only person that could take on ManBearPig. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Not sure I've ever seen a CB I've been more confident of winning their headers. He really dominates in the air without ever really looking like he's trying hard.

[Jairzinho]

People should be mentioning his price tag because he's worth about £200m/£250m.

 

The best centre back in the world. By some distance.

How was this guy at Southampton until he turned 26? He's so much more talented than any other CB in the world, bar 1 or 2, it's almost embarrassing.

Bayern should be regretting not doing more to get an away goal. With no Virg or Joe, or even Dejan, you're looking at the 7th/8th choice CB combination. 

 

Hopefully he beats Skrtel's 7 goal season a few years back. He's easily good enough to do it.

He was a top 5 in the world defender when he was at Celtic. 

[Em City]

Best. In. The. World.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Name a better CB in the world than VVD. 

[Captain Howdy]

There isn’t one

[rubble-rouser]

Had a literal nightmare last night that he signed for Barca mid-season for £220m

[Hades]

He must have some alien blood in him. Which species is he, Red Phoenix?

That’d be it for me with football I think.

I won't hear a bad word said about Southampton Football Club. Great bunch of lads.

Where did it all go wrong, Virg?

[No2]

Barney Ronay in the Guardian

"Mainly he just stood there being Virgil, appearing at times like the only grown-up on the set. Van Dijk is a fascinating leader. He doesn’t yodel and bang his chest. It is more a question of presence, a way of standing. Even watching from the seats you feel somehow that you’re going to find that train home, that the half-time queues will be short, that whatever it is that’s happening in parliament will work out."

[KevieG]

So he's added goals now.

 

My word.

I think I'd pay much less attention to it, for sure. Suarez going, Coutinho going, Torres fucking off... these things burned a bit. VVD going? Fuck that noise. That said, he seems very committed and wants to be a legend for Liverpool.

My word.

I've heard a rumour that he's going to start brining a violin onto the pitch and seeing if he can play that without missing a note, whilst heading the winning goal and making a goal line clearance. At the same time. He has only managed it 999 times out of the 1000 times he has tried it so far, so he's not quite ready to commit to it. To be fair to him, the other time Hendo ran into him, so... it's not really his fault.

[A_S]

To think Big Div scored a hattrick against Big Virg.

Possibly the best player in the world at the moment, not just best centre back.

[El Rojo]

He's filled the void left by Gerrard.
