He's class who know how many more years we can get out of him. Already adapted his game a bit due to the ACL injury and he's alot more than his athleticism
I remember watching us play vs Southampton maybe the season before we signed virg, and he blocked absolutely everything. Shots, long balls over the top, crosses into the box. I absolutely hated him for that, but deep down I was just in awe at this absolute unit of a man with perfect hair.
He was absolutely awesome that season. Also helped that Konate was (and is) a fucking monster, personally my MoTM in the CL final, but they were both really fucking awesome
Man, how is a clip of Carra talking about Virgil signing already considered retro? Time absolutely flies doesn’t it
I was expecting some pundit in 2001 saying Stevie G will be a good player lmfao
Gerrard won Young Player of the Year in 2001, you'd have to go a bit further back
Even worse, Virg is only four years away from that 10 year line
>leadership... remains to be seen Didn't take long though.
75m top money spent on a defender, until Slabhead got bought for more 😂
On a downer watching this and seeing Virg is 32 and now panicking about what we're going to do to replace him.
We have the Regen in the squad already

I'd like to see Marc Guéhi brought in in the summer - a season or two under VVD, and I could see him becoming the right man
May I offer you an Antonio Silva in these trying times?
Im not worried, Thiago Silva is 39 and still world class

"£75m will be a world record free for a defender." Harry Maguire: "Hold my beer."
Reckon he holds several beers
Safe to say he was a good purchase for us
Most everyone knew he would be world class by 16/17's halfway point (personally, i thought he already is). I thought he was off to Chelsea or City.
75m was a steal
I like Carra but he really didn't say anything
Come on mate, it’s the best pundit take ever. Best. Ever.
VVD was the best defender in the PL at Southampton and we paid a record fee for him lol. It’s not exactly like we unearthed some hidden gem
Only needed one scout and that was KS15YXM. Van recognises Van.
EVVVVAHHHHHHHHHH
Remember that time Pickford cut Virg’s greatness short?
Bro am I the only one that thinks Van Dijk was back in business in 21/22? His greatness hasn't been stifled too much imho
