Yep. We're better all over with JV in the team

It's been on another thread (also Sevilla & Roma, apparently) for a week or two. Don't remember which one

We'll, exactly

Getting 5 or even 15 million for JV would be rotten business for our immediate future. What we paid is irrelevant now, that was just down to genius scouting & detailed knowledge of contracts. Another international defender who can cover 3+ positions with ease, younger than Dunky, with Champions...

I'd like to think you're right. But interest from Barcelona would surely at least have got JV's attention

I wondered that too

Seconded

Superb. Again

Our defence isn't just better with JV in it, it's more grownup. Far less last ditch, backs against the wall incidents now. We defend like a top 6 team

Interesting that Joel said a few weeks ago, when asked about his first impressions of the man who made him Ajax captain. Was that he took some getting used to. He knew his stuff but that he was lacking in personality & his team talks were boring

Point taken Although tbf, without that nutty Prem release clause JV would've cost tens of millions

Tbf, I believe the cut price Prem move was in JV's contract

Our best defender. Has been for some time

Bit specific

Missed out JV taking Ronaldo out, then picking him assertively off the floor. Smiling angelically, like he does

Spot on. That whole squad could. Bergkamp was ruthless too

Spot on. That innocent look (deliberately) masks probably the most ruthless player we have. It's a very Dutch thing

I think Farehamseagull was including Joel's mastery of shithousery & innocent faced brutality in that assessment

Repeatedly

Agreed
