VVD will be held up as one of greatest CBs and most complete CBs and held in higher regard.
Will probably go down as Liverpool and EPLs best ever CB and many say is already.
He has been their most important player in a side that has won CL and league title and been named as second best player in Europe behind Messi.
No one bar some Barca fans will be thinking Pique compares to that due to trophies.

Since you're Scottish, I assume you follow SPL? How was Big Virg at Celtic? Did you see him becoming the beast he has turned out to be??
I have seen him score some bangers for Celtic.

Much better for Liverpool than Celtic.
Best CB by far but switched off too much...which looking back maybe because week in week out too easy for him.
Was not all that great for them in Europe either.
Can see why top clubs were not sure of him back then.
Went up a level massively for Soton then again at Liverpool.

It's retarded takes season again on this forum. Now Busquets/Xavi/Iniesta is not all that. Who else fellas?
Mighty VVD, Courtois best GK ever and Real's midfield as best ever. Wonder what next season will bring.
Would expect Xavi's career to be wiped out, if he fucks up next season.

Yeah remember him having concentration issues and occasional brainfarts for the Saints. Which is weird, because at LFC he's one of the composed and concentrated players you'll see. Klopp must have ironed the lapses of concentration out.

Aye 'retarded take' to rate the best CB in world and one who has been voted second best player in world behind Messi by tiny margin eh.
Calma.

No one ever said B-X-I trio wasn't all that. No one even called Courtois the best GK of his generation.
And yeah, Mighty is an understatement for VVD. Try watching him play.
Off topic: But is it a tradition in Romania to take offense and bitch about stuff that hasn't really been said?

Lol at the trolls comparing Bayern's peak side of the last 20 years beating up a Barca midfield that had already won Euro, CL, WC, CL, Euro in 5 consecutive summers before 2013. Not to mention the league dominance.
Xavi was massively declined by 2013. And Iniesta was beginning to be on the wane near the end of 2012-2013.
Barcilliant is an absolute idiot with that transitive property simplification. Lad does nothing but come on here and spew Barca hate every single time.

Madrid midfield didn't own Bayern at all. Bayern at least matched them there in all their clashes when it was 11v11.

RM midfield was very good but not people are going overboard...RM's CLs still mainly come from star forwards scoring big goals and the defense remaining stout (especially the GK. Navas and Courtois unbelievable in those CL wins).
There's plenty of CL ties where RM didn't have the initiative (I'm not talking about possession, but more control of the flow and tempo of the game).

Real mid never dominated games the way that Barca trio did to win CLs/WCs and Euros.
Not even close.

Haha. Xaviesta, Busquets was great 09-11 but that's it. Real midfield much more adaptable, durable and functional especially in cl. Too many nostalgic idiots out here. Fact 8s we underachieved in cl at our peak. Real did the opposite.

Go support RM then. Ain't nobody going to miss your copy/pasta tirades.

At least Xaviesta knew when to quit. These fucking amigos have made us endure so many humiliations that even our own fans think the club is a joke.
