Never before have Liverpool had the best centerhalf on the planet playing for us and thats what Virgil is. Football has changed so much and its so much harder for defenders these days but he makes it look so easy. Honestly he's like if you put Hansens brain into the body of Ramos. We're blessed he's at the club and he's been the cliche bargain even at the world record fee.

Pyjamarama wrote: Was talking in the pub earlier about how Salah prob will move on if he keeps this form up as the lifestyle in Spain is too good to turn down but even if he did, it would be for a world record fee and would you bet against us just going out and getting another Salah anyway? Whens the last time we spent real money on a dud? People said Nabby and Fab might be but they're showing their class now. Both have been magnificent in the last few games.

The technical ability of players has declined and the rules of the game are a complete mess but you are quite wrong to claim that the game has become more difficult for players to become successful at these days. Standards have declined to such an extent that it has become far easier for slightly better than mediocre players to be heralded as superstars. Messrs. Van Dijk and Salah and most of the other leading lights in the Premiership can be classed in this category. In time, my point of view will be proved to be correct.
"I've been at Hertha for 22 years," said the 42-year-old at his press conference after the Frankfurt win. "This isn't meant as an insult to anyone else, but Marko is by far the best midfielder I've seen in my time at the club." The raw data from the game certainly backs up Dardai's impression of the youngster. From his position in central midfield, Grujic did the dirty work – winning an average of 54 per cent of all challenges – while he was also helping out in other areas by completing 92 per cent of his passes and having four attempts at goal – more than any other Hertha player. "I was a defensive midfielder and managed to score 17 goals, which isn't bad," Dardai continued. "But Marko carries much more of a goal threat, he's got a sensational shot on him and is much better than I was. He can play anywhere in midfield.

I know he's tall and gets about but he seems unable to pass a ball more than ten yards, seems to give away alot of fouls and isn't as mobile as I'd expect. Perfectly grand and all just maybe not seeing the price tag. Keita on the other hand, genuinely excited watching him play.

I think it's b@ll@ox myself. So what if he's being paid that. He's in the Championship; there's plenty of guys at that level pulling in that money. I think the Mail were looking for the "rage" mob that just hate to see young footballs, who haven't achieved anything, earning millions.
