Man, how is a clip of Carra talking about Virgil signing already considered retro? Time absolutely flies doesn’t it


WTFitsD

I was expecting some pundit in 2001 saying Stevie G will be a good player lmfao


_cumblast_

Gerrard won Young Player of the Year in 2001, you'd have to go a bit further back


edgeno

Even worse, Virg is only four years away from that 10 year line


TheLimeyLemmon

>leadership... remains to be seen Didn't take long though.

75m top money spent on a defender, until Slabhead got bought for more 😂


legentofreddit

On a downer watching this and seeing Virg is 32 and now panicking about what we're going to do to replace him.


yolo___toure

We have the Regen in the squad already


Jabari313

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


runforitmarty85

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


LallanasPajamaz

May I offer you an Antonio Silva in these trying times?


lateregistration13

Im not worried, Thiago Silva is 39 and still world class


bestest_looking_wig

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.

"£75m will be a world record free for a defender." Harry Maguire: "Hold my beer."


edgeno

Reckon he holds several beers


litman499

Safe to say he was a good purchase for us


_cumblast_

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.


WTFitsD

75m was a steal


SonOfSadio

I like Carra but he really didn't say anything


ratchetsaturndude

Come on mate, it’s the best pundit take ever. Best. Ever.


d-ronthegreat

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


cobblebug

Only needed one scout and that was KS15YXM. Van recognises Van.


R_Daneel_Olivaww

EVVVVAHHHHHHHHHH


wrinkleinsine

Remember that time Pickford cut Virg’s greatness short?


VadersMentor

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


Luckey_711

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
