    He's 5 year older than Timothy Weah, imagine him winning YPOTY here in 2024 :56::57:

    The great players make the game look so easy, big Virgil has been immense for Liverpool, not just his own play but the way he organises the back line, top class.

    Both said he was vastly over rated, not worth 10 million and would never play for a big club just because he strolled the Scottish league.

    Ronny Deila, on the other hand, said he had the potential to be the best defender in the world.

    Member when * where saying Alderweireld was the better CB?.

    It's bitter sweet to know that we have had such a guy wearing our colours, it's arguably been since Larsson since we could say we had such a genuine world class player.

    all of them
    Alderweirelds overall game was better than Van Dijk the other season there and the season before, this season no one is in the same league as Van Dijk- think I've only seen be beaten once with Gnarby scoring an amazing goal.

    He made quite a few individual mistakes in Europe, but it's understandable considering his confidence isn't going to be high given the likes of Izaguirre and Efe Ambrose were chasing shadows most games . Strange how we haven't signed any other Dutch players since- unless the Derk Boerigter experiment has caused us to stop looking

    I can remember arguing with people that he’s far better than John Stones and it’s crazy that Man City paid that money for him when Van Dijk was available for far less.
