    Was rated 9.04 on that whoscored website today MOTM again. Has been MOTM in 4 of their last 9 games.

    Ratings of...

    9.12
    8.04
    8.37
    8.06
    7.83
    8.35
    7.13
    7.23
    9.04

    Averaging a rating of over 8 per game in 2016, probably the best in the League in that time.

    He now has the highest rating of all centre-backs, today puts him ahead of Thiago Silva who has an average of 7.59, Van Dijk's is 7.64, 3rd best is Diego Godin with 7.56.

    7 MOTM awards in 25 games this season, only Messi(9), Ibrahimovic(9), Mkhitaryan(8) and Mahrez(8) have more.

    Name a player that's better and had a career that Virgil will go on to have.

    Wanyama is a level below Van Dijk. Frasers a keeper so that's pretty uncomparable.

    Aye anytime I've seen him for Southampton he looks totally composed passing the ball out from defence and he's also dangerous at set pieces as he's scored a few.

    So much for the argument that players might look good in Scotland but the EPL will show them up.

    I'm sure the Saints fans love Wanyama and Forster too.

    I can't bite my tongue any longer.

    How did he rate against Bournemouth the other week? I watched that match because I had nothing better to do and I was completely underwhelmed by him. Definitely at fault for the second goal (him & Forster were mugged at a set piece).

    * help us if the stats you're looking at say he was in the top two in that match.

    Hasn't looked too bad on MOTD but you only get the highlights!

    Southampton have discovered what we all knew. Our players are easily good enough for the epl. Only problem is, we're now Southamptons feeder team... Ffs

    Fixed that for you. As for the last sentence I hope you are right and they want to pay £12m for one of our current squad(bar Tierney).

    Your not taking into account there new tv deal and mental amounts of spare money. £6m players are the new 12.

    They showed a wee highlight package from his performance against Stoke... he's dominant.
