I know. it was hard keep gim in a top 5. really he shouldnt be close as hes an ex city player at this point. Daniels at bournemouth would deserve a shout too.
I hope you are joking mito. Everyone knows alderweireld is a classy ball playing CB. Has quite a few assists with his long range bombs. Matip might be the most physical defender but i would disagree to matip being better on the ball. Top CBs who all have their strengths and weaknesses but i can't rank between them Alderweireld Virgil Van Dyke Sideshow Bob Matip Koscielny Otamendi not in any particular order
Luiz will never make any list of mine. he is a shockingly bad defender who is being played in a 3 cos hes a disaster in a proper pair. Teams have not cottoed onto how to play a 343 yet is all but once one exploits your weaknesses they all will. 3 at back just puts an extra guy at back rather than at cm.
Otamendi?! No chance. Guy hasn't got a clue unless he has Kompany holding his hand throughout the game. He's as good as Lovren.
Van Dijk is a class above Luiz and Otamendi. The rest I would say he's better than as well. Not by much but Van Dijk has got everything: pace, strength, great in the air, he reads the game so well. He brings the ball out of defence better than anyone I've seen and can even ping a 60 yard pass with pin point accuracy. He could get into any side in the world IMO. He will leave Saints at some point and my money would be to Barcelona. And he's only 25. He will cost an absolute bomb to anyone who wants him. At least £45mill.
Remember they will all be deported shortly so stones is 50mil of english ****e while van dijk might be twice the player but he is not going to be able to get his green card
Not yet, he's been very good this season, but last 2 years he's not lived up to his value. Continue like this all season and help us achieve something and will be value for money
