Virgil Van Dijk appreciation thread

Rio was the best centre have to play for Man united under Ferguson. Van dijk needs to repeat what heā€™s done for the last 18 months for 3 or 4 seasons to get to Rios level.

Van Dijk has been doing it for the past 4 years in the EPL

I would say Vidic and Stam were probably better defenders at their peak than Ferdinand

Rio :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::rofl:

Jonathan Woodgate was a cracking defender. A complete wreck though. Ledley King similar.

Ferdinand was miles ahead of vidic

Virge wonā€™t be worrying about comparing himself to drug cheats.

Go wash out your mouth.

Vidic is the best Centre Half for Utd in the Premier League era.

How does their premier league medal count compare?

He wasnā€™t he was blessed to beside rio. He was an excellent foil to rio but way too easily roasted.

Carvalho was much better than terry too

You were about 12 when these lads were in their prime mate

Youā€™ve fellas on here thinking Roy keane is no good and rio Ferdinand was no good. Aged five I probably knew more than most on here. Ferdinand was a dream boat of a footballer. His reading of the game was unbelievable. Passing unreal and generally just class. He was finished fairly early with the back. One of the best unified players to play under fergie. Anybody that doesnā€™t rate him is a fool.

Torres made both vidic and Ferdinand look average :thinking:

Only ever by Torres. Did you start supporting Utd in 2015 or something?

Rio got caught day dreaming far too often. Iā€™d have Stam ahead of Rio as well.

Thereā€™ was a lot of English hype about Rio. All rubbish.

Rio was constantly found out in Europe. Typical Fergie player, flat track bully.

Rio was miles ahead of vidic. Different quality. Rio was unfortunate fergie wouldnā€™t sign any decent backs or a keeper for a long time after he first arrived.

Whatā€™s your point? Djimi Traore won a Champions League too.
