Looks like Vestergaard is done for £15m ... which looks like good business tbf ... sure that Kasper Schmeichel and Ryan Bertrand being at the club helped smooth the transition ... plus he knows our forwards pretty well from that 9-0 humping ... more seriously he is 6ft 6" and we were noticeably vulnerable to set pieces last season ... gotta admit I'm pretty chuffed ...
Proportionately he won barely anymore aerial duels than Evans or Soyuncu, but otherwise knock yourself out... Evans 62.7% Soyuncu 63.9% Vestergard 65.6% Other reference centre backs for all their prem games: Aldeweireld 51.8% Holding 57.3% Magalhaes 58.2% Coady 58.7% Ogbonna 61.6% Lindelof 62.1% Evans 62.7% Laporte 62.8% Keane 63.1% Huth 63.5% Ferdinand 63.9% Soyuncu 63.9% Dunk 64.9% Stones 65.6% Vestergard 65.6% Phillips 65.8% Cahill 67.1% Vertonghen 67.4% Kompany 68.3% Terry 68.8% Tarkowski 69.7% Mertesacker 70.0% Dunne 70.2% Zouma 71.1% Maguire 72.0% Vidic 73.5% Van Dijk 74.3%
I assumed the stats were just based on all their prem appearances since they started in the prem. Straight from the official prem website. 162 apps. 784 aerials won. 271 aerials lost.
Some classics... Ferdinand 63.9% Cahill 67.1% Kompany 68.3% Terry 68.8% Mertesacker 70.0% Vidic 73.5%
