Virgil van Dijk

As a stand alone centre half, Baresi for me was the greatest, however, maldini could literally slip in seamlessly across the whole back line and still be world class, he also played in goal one year when Dida was sent off as well....

Maldini is the king.

Please go a tiny bit further back and bring us Gentile, Cabrini and Scirea?

What a player Scirea was.

Of all those great Italian defenders, Scirea was surely the best of them all. Made football look more like art than sport. His early demise was a huge tragedy.

I'd have Deschamps and Desailly over Thuram and Lucio, Marcelo over Carlos.

Deschamps was 5'7 and a midfielder

Back on topic please.

Start a new one if you wish to discuss great centre halves of the past.

Nobody can get anywhere near baresi. The greatest player in his position. The fact he beats maldini in to second place and John Charles 3rd tells you everthing.

I have just looked at their thread and to be honest all he said was he has heard from a friend of a friend that this has been done hardly something from the horses mouth. Lets see what develops I am sure City will have all sorts of contingency plans in place

I think he's got it from here http://www.liverpool-rumours.co.uk/maccaliverpoolrumours.php Not sure the reliability but after the first few posts the last time they posted anything was June 2016 saying Pogba to United was done, over a month before it was announced.
