    I understand you like to keep an eye on the big man, but being constantly reminding of the fact he's one of the best defenders in that league just makes the fact that we lost him all the more depressing :smiley-laughing002::50:

    I wonder what changed behind him in those games, someone we know perhaps?

    They actually do those stats for Spain, Italy, England, Russia, Germany, Brazil, France, Netherlands, Turkey, Russia, the Europa League and Champions League and he's rated the joint best with Diego Godin of Atletico Madrid, both have ratings of 7.62 which is just ahead of Thiago Silva of PSG who has 7.59.

    So some would say best defenders in the world :fear:

    Oozed class when he was here. Really wouldn't suprise me to see this guy lift the European Cup in his career, can see one of the biggest teams in the game snapping him up soon.

    Best player to pull on a Celtic jersey since Larsson imo. Loved every minute of having him in the hoops, scary to think there were some who criticised him more than they praised him.

    What a player. At times it looked as if he just walked through teams up here, doubt he'll be at Southampton long.

    They stats ILTC posted say it all, best we've had since Henrik.

    We usually put a sell-on clause in, aye.

    Was like watching a full grown man playing against 9 year olds at times up here. The best player to pull on the Hoops since Henrik , he has it all.

    I'd say he was easy. Better for me than Boruc, Forster, Denayer, Petrov, Wanyama, McGeady, Nakamura, Maloney(1st spell) and Hooper who i'd say are the other best players since Larsson unless you count Robbie Keane and Bellamy although only Bellamy I would say was better.
