    Last year's stats include having a liability of a keeper behind him

    Big guy used to stroll life up here, a proper joy to watch. Now he’s doing it down there.

    Didn't think he would be anywhere near the success he's been. Such a classy big defender.

    I had all the faith in the world he’d go on to be one of the best about. As soon as he arrived at Southampton he was in the European team of the week consistently.

    Unreal big Rolls Royce of a player. So glad we got to see him in the hoops for as long as we did.

    It was his laid back attitude when he was here. Think it was far too easy for him and made him complacent at times. Ntcham is similar in characteristics. You can see how good they are but they look like they're not giving 100% sometimes due to their style of play.

    You could easily tell he was a class above. He strutted about in 2nd gear in the SPFL. Casually stuck free kicks in the top bin. His defending was a bit flawed but understandable as he was still quite young. Into his absolute peak now.

    Sutton on BT yesterday said he was the best defender in Britain when he was at Celtic but snobbery of the Scottish game meant the big gun's wouldn't go for it..

    * flaps Savage "He wasn't the best in Britain no way. I'd say Kompany"..

    Sutton "Who would you have right now?"

    * flaps Savage "Ehm Van Dijk"

    :rofl:

    Hes probably right though. Kompany was colossal 3-4 years ago (as far as I remember)

    Been longer than that for me since he was really at the top, 2010-2013 probably peak Kompany.
