Not even in the conversation, he's been world class maybe for 2 seasons? The likes of Rio, Vidic, Terry etc did it for 5+ years.

All over the place yesterday. Matip kept bailing him out after he missed headers and got caught in the wrong positions.

But TAA takes the cake for bad defending. The guy is an absolutely hopeless defender. Hope we target him when we play them.

Watching Super Sunday right now building up to the London derby..

Special mention to Tony Adams. World class centre-back in his prime too.

Ledley King alongside him wasnt too bad himself.

World class centre back. Did the business for them.

Fergie tried to sign him from Milan 97-98 before we bought Stam. The board wouldnt break the wage structure though

Van Dijk hasn't surpassed Kompany. His elevation in rating from the minute he joined Liverpool was nauseating.

I do think Kompany is quite underrated in these conversations. Cost you peanuts (maybe a little more than that) as well if I recall correctly.

I think it was around £8m. Great player in my opinion and that goal he scored against Leicester from 30 yards kept Liverpool from the title.
