That's fine, no problem with opinions. Just asking, but which parts of his game are better?

Really isn't
VVD is the best centre half in the world atm. Followed by Koulibaly and only then maybe him and rest.

Reading of the game, winning duels, recovery tackles, leading the backline.
Laporte is an elite ball playing centre half, but he is not nearly as good as VVD in those areas as of now. No argument we should have signed him, ended up paying £60m odd anyway for Laporte so should've paid the world record fee and got it done.
It's all good tho, just hope whoever is next is not named Maguire.

No doubt he is a great player, but it's easier to look good as a centre half in Liverpool's set up than it is in city'sVVD is the best centre half in the world atm. Followed by Koulibaly and only then maybe him and rest.
I agree VVD is better at the moment, but not sure we ‘should have signed him’...I reckon if we could we would but as others have said he was dipper bound whatever we offered. We didn’t do too bad without him did we.Reading of the game, winning duels, recovery tackles, leading the backline.

It's actually the opposite I'd say, Stones and Otamendi are good examples. But if VVD isn't in that Liverpool backline teams are scoring 2-3 past them on average in big games.

Yes obviously, as I said it's all good because it still worked out. But I can't deny it would have been a dream to see him alongside Stones or Laporte in our team.
Liverpool fans are not asking why they didn’t sign Laporte.
They got a great player in Van Dijk up there with a prime Kompany for me. Would have been great here.
However, we have done very well and things could have been different both good and bad if we had signed him.
Maguire I would like City to sign, I think he is a good player. I don’t see him having a Van Dijk effect but I do think he would establish himself whichever team he joins and after a season the fee would be forgotten.
