    Embarrassing how easy he's strolled the game against city. Surely saints won't be able to keep him, come next season ?

    Van Dijk ( despite the online stats) might still be 'strolling it' in England but not quite as easily as when playing for us... 3 goals for Southampton. He managed to defend for us and find time and position to score 12 in a season. That really was 'strolling it'.

    Unbelievably cool-headed and composed, a 6'4", built like a tank, fast, skilful defender who could strike a free kick from 25 yards out and chip in with 10 goals every season.

    Think he might have been once in a generation for us.

    He has strolled it tbf. There have been a couple of shakey moments earlier in his time with Southampton (we saw those here too, now and again), but otherwise he's been excellent. He has a very good case for being the best centre back in that league at this point in time.

    Guys a talent above the epl, and for that he is a talent for barcelona, real, psg, bayern or juventus. He is truly at that level.

    Well, that was always going to be the case :smiley-laughing002:

    He's obviously going to have to focus more on defending down there.

    6 years?!

    Can't see him being there after next season if he keeps playing the way he has.

    haven't seen him playing since he left but I get the feeling he's done well for them.
