Christ, some memories- perhaps it’s mine - are fading or playing tricks on us. The two you mentioned are chalk and cheese.

VVD was a Rolls Royce of a player. That was evident from his first game, great defender who glided around the pitch with ease. Bella-K and Salisu were like cart horses, and even then best sent to the glue factory.

Shame about ABK, obviously had potential. You don’t get in the Germany WC squad at 22 without having something about you. But equally Germany with the likes of ABK in their squad don’t get past the group stages. 

I think so - ABK and Salisu not even remotely similar, Salisu couldn’t control his feet but was a decent last ditch defender. ABK could glide past players, carry the ball up the pitch, and seemed a level above when he was on it. But it only lasted about 3 games unfortunately, which probably explains why he ended up with us.

Christ, they hype train is on full throttle! I hope the lad doesn't read this and just keeps his head down. Very impressed so far, but its been three weeks! And besides,  who ever keeps Jack out of the match day squad gets a +2 Bonus, so his ratings are a little warped!

Based on what we’ve seen so far he’s a distance better than THB and the best centre back we’ve had since VVD.

I was thinking that - obviously a league down but can’t recall any of our centre backs dominating to anything like the same extent since VVD, who was exceptional.
