Biggest man in goals, quietest man on the mic, what a keeper he was for us, an honestly i would take the big man back again for a 3rd time
If he came back it would be a fifth time, incredible!
Big fraz, best keeper i ever seen at celtic in my 27 year life time watch his highlights against barca when celtic beat them 2-1, messi said hes the beat keeper hes faced😂
Holy goalie?
David Marshall’s performance against Barca in 04 probs tops that imo cause he followed it up with a master class at ibrox a few days later
At times it was "too easy" for VVD at Celtic, the problem was that he often played like that and was prone to some very basic errors due to not applying himself properly.
He was clearly a very talented defender when we signed him in 2013 BUT there's a reason he wasn't snapped up by Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord and there's a reason that Celtic only got £12 million from Southampton for him in 2015 and not £30-40 million from the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd etc....
There's been a bit of re-writing of history, in terms of his two seasons at Celtic, because he went on to be one of the best CB's in world football for a time
CCV will be the same, will play to casual and make silly mistakes I think. Won’t go on the be the player VVD did
@@tstir6007CCV?
The great wall🍀💚
liverpool played Southampton 3 times in 8 days 2 x league cup semis and a pl game. Virgil was motm in all 3 games.Klopp was watching him school the entire Liverpool attack 3 games in a row.
As a Southampton fan im absolutely loving this
Crazy what a bargain for him 😮
Met virgil in Tesco carpark one night after a Southampton match. He leathered the arse off me over at the trolley bay
of course it was, it’s not like in 2 years u can go from a meh player to a world class player, people always say he took a while to get to his peak when in reality he was probably there for a few years prior it’s just he wasn’t in good enough teams to be noticed. Rice is a good comparison he’s probably been at a top level for a couple years now but i know personally i didn’t rate him all that highly cus he was doing it for west ham
This is the same Van DIjk that conceded 4 to a man united and bottled the fa cup on Klopps send off as the captain
@@ben29424 do us a favour and go watch the goals we conceded that game and try to tell me he’s at fault for any of them lol, one man in a back 4 and keeper can’t single-handedly stop another team scoring they can just pass around him and attack the other defenders. Don’t be so naive lol how many top defenders have been at or gone to worse teams and they can’t keep as many clean sheets cus how can one player stop the other team scoring every attack
When Virgil has been out for a run of games - Liverpool struggle in his absence. That tells you more than a single game with 4 conceded
I wanted Manchester United to get Van Dijk from Celtic so bad. Watching him dribble the entire pitch, ping long balls, score bangers from open play and free kicks, he was unreal. Then he eventually went to Liverpool and ruined it. Idk why Van Gaal never signed him.
If I had to stay awake to win 30million while Fraser Forster was reading a children’s book, I’d fail.
I’d defo stay awake it’d be fcking hilarious
I’d defo stay awake it be hilarious
They’re laughing about Lennon saying that he won’t be here long… That’s the problem, Celtic cannot keep any of their great players (bar Larsson). The teams with far more money than the clubs in Scotland swarm around players like VVD like vultures. It’s sad, imagine the success Celtic (and other Scottish clubs) would have had if they could keep their best players…
In that breath Celtic and others do that to teams below them. That’s the food chain. Celtic are just not at the top of it unfortunately
Genuine question, if you could vote to move to the English leagues & start off in the championship, would you say yes to it?
@@danielfitzpatrick4778 purely as a benefit to the club I’d say yes but it wouldn’t be the best thing for fans heading to Southampton etc
@@garyrenton4930 that’s true. Rugby league im pretty sure there’s a team in Spain. What a ball ache.
Still shocked that they’ve not done it considering Cardiff & Swansea, Celtic would add so much more money & fanbase to the leagues than those two combined.
@@danielfitzpatrick4778 will never get voted in because that means people below them voting to put their place in danger. Can’t just add two teams to a league without someone dropping out
What wrapping center forwards are you talking about? The premier League has almost none qualitiy upfront
la gran muralla - Lionel Messi on Fraser Forster
Do all goalies have tiny tongues?
He was good for Celtic but he also had a few less positive performances, Edward Ofere of Caley Thistle dominated him in a scottish cup semi-final. He was doing more on the ball at Celtic, taking free-kicks and trying to dribble through teams on his own (see his goal against St Johnstone), but he wasn’t as good defensively as he became when he went down south.
He played with an 18 year old Denayer on loan from Man City who'd never played a game before and they only conceded 16 goals in the League lol
Vigil and stam best prem CB’s
Fraser is 100% the best goalkeeper in the UK. Why the Tyrannosaurus arms gets the place ahead of Fraser is a "mates" thing with Southgate.
Why is Forster in the reserves at Tottenham then?
"It was too easy for him" misleading thumbnail, Forster doesn't say that, Ben throws it in there and then sticks Forster's pic beside the quote.
Sergio Ramos. Free kicks, penalties, goals, goals and more goals. Not to mention the defending! What a career. The GOAT.
Was better and cleaner than ramos red cards were disgrace he got virgil far better player
He had a spell playing in midfield for the national team too, and looked class there.
@@michaelmcgill-uu5ox I totally disagree but that’s the beauty of opinions!
@@michaelmcgill-uu5oxvan dijks prime is the best cb i’ve ever seen but it only lasted 2 years, ramos was consistently class for 10+ years at the top level.
Ramos started as an attacker. That's why he knows how to score. He couldn't tie Maldini or Baresi's laces when it came to defending. No one could. Best sweeper and left back in history. Spain has won one world cup and 2 euros with a once in a generation team. Italy has won 4. Plus 2 euros! Messi, Maradonna and Platini have Italian lineage. As do alot of Argentinean and Brazilian greats. Including Di Stefano( Real Madrid Legend). Kryuff taught Barcelona how to play football. A Dutchman! Spaniards are full of themselves. Without Di Stefano and Dutch maestro Kryuff, Spanish football would still be in the dark ages.
I liked my own comment
Love u cuz
You're my CZcams hero 😂
You're comment famous bro
Gross, that's like climbing your sister
Cheers Geoff
No prem CB is better than Virgil
Harry Maguire would disagree
@@Calzone1997 hilarious
I think you need to look at the stats pal,he's definitely not and hasn't been for a while
@@mindfuldex I’ve looked at the stats and now I definitely think Virgil is the best
everyone at celtic knew he would go down and be one of the top defenders down there. at the time not many people down there did not beileve us. we keep telling you who is gonna be tops who go down and you just right us off up here. from di candio to viduka. to larsson and van dijk. its a case of just sobbish english supporters and all that prem league money going to their heads. when we say celtic and rangers are bigger than 80% of prem league clubs we mean it. but your bankrolls are bigger. it doesnt mean you are a bigger club.
Virgil is class but he can’t score goals like Fabian Schar
Arsene Wenger never thought he would cut it in the EPL and passed on the chance to sign him.
😂
The
Great defender but the way he's lauded as one of, if not the best, of all time is absolute scandalous. No, just no.😮
Not far off. His peak is one of the highest reached by a defender.
Van Dijk’s peak was probably the greatest of any defender ever. He literally didn’t have a weakness.
@97YNWA97 No. No it wasn't. Unless you're 8 years old.
@@VillaBoys123 u clearly didn’t watch him then.
2 year period he was unstoppable. Didn’t get dribbled past for entire year, won multiple trophies, made no mistakes and had no weakness
@@VillaBoys123 came 2nd in the Ballond’Or too. Only 7 votes behind messi
Van dyjk had potential at Celtic but he was also shit at times I can remember that fat bald striker for shakter karagandy tore him apart
Should be easy considering there was no rangers in the league to challenge them?and I'm pretty sure he said he learnt more at Southampton in 2 weeks than he did the 2 years at celshite😂
Best CB that ever lived? 😂
For his peak arguably yes. All time, no.
I've seen Baresi, Stam, Terry, Ferdinand, Cannavaro, Ramos and Maldini (and seen all of them other than Baresi live) and none of them had the whole package. VVD at his absolute peak had everything. You see him live and its like he's playing with boys.
@@mattinterweb exactly
@@mattinterwebwhat was Maldini lacking in your opinion?
@@garyrenton4930 Maldini was amazing, perhaps the best fullback ever, but he couldn't spray balls around like VVD does and wasn't such a goal threat.
