Virgil van Dijk

[Neville Kneville]

Unfortunately that's James Robson, who is about as clued up as Diane Abbott.

Reported as done deal by a lot of media in last few hours, although when you click on the articles they add "according to reports". Lookspromising though

Hopefully the bit about the odds is similar to Bernardo/inside info, and not just because it was lead story in the tabloids.

Not seen much of him to be honest, what is the general feeling on him, strengths weaknesses etc...?

 

[kaz7]

Knowing him he is just saying that so the idiots at MENS can have a laugh when he rocks up at the chavs

 

[mancityscot]

i just hope the price isnt whats being reported

 

[PepTalk]

Still not sure about the price or the wages but you have to pay to play these days.

Weaknesses - none imo

Strengths - physicality, pace, quality on the ball(carrying and passing(particularly his long passing)), intelligent, scores goals, as composed as a cb gets

Imo he has a tendancy to fall asleep occasionally, but not to Stones level doziness.

This guy is amazing. As a CB you could not ask for anymore, he has it all. Physically, he is quick, strong, amazing in the air and great on 1 v 1s. Mentally he is very good however can and will improve. Seeing this guy play every week for Celtic, I can safely say if things go well and he gets his opportunity he will become the best CB in the league.

I believe every player has a weakness of some sort - they are human

He's not very good up front.

 

[MaccBlueSS115]

Looks like he has that Bonucci-like long ball ability which should help transform defence to attack quickly.

Solid defender too ; Van Dijk, Stones, Kompany and Otemendi are solid centre back options in my eyes.

Why not? Are you paying it yourself?

I'm not sure why people get so hung up about the price we may or may not pay for players? If the player is deemed to be worth it by the manager and it's who he feels will improve our squad then so be it.

I dunno, four goals in ten shots on target this season isn't bad for a CB. Let's play him as a forward.

Solid? I cant think of any club that has four better?

And we can sell Kolarov ;-)

As a teenager he had a part time job in a Amsterdam hotel. They had to let him go after a while as he struggled to fold the bath towels into the shape of a swan.

 

[bluemc1]

Sounds good :)

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

He can change his name to Pebbles

Bam Bam !
