I don't get why he's being made out to be this massive superstar signing. He's an improvement on what Liverpool have, but not anywhere close to world class.
Edit: I mean, he's fucccin world class la, five times!

Hes a decent defender in fairness.
But £75m :lol: :lol:

Most expensive defender in the world.
Let that sink in.. :lol::lol:

He's not particularly great at defending and that's been obvious since he moved here from Scotland.
But he's good on the ball and it was decided he was good, therefore the regular errors leading to goals in a Southampton shirt were conveniently swept aside.
He'll get found out at Liverpool.

He can take lessons on how to head a ball from Smalling
Djemba-Djemba said:

I think he's a decent defender.
The £75m fee was just so ludicrous though, as were the comparisons to Rio, it's going to add so much pressure on him. There's no way he can justify that fee.

He's defensively vulnerable, thats why the big clubs passed on him. I remember zlatan just towering over him to head in a lofted cross.

£75M for Dutch Chris Smalling
Couldn't make it up even if you tried...Liverpool :lol::lol:
VorZakone said:

I've said it before. He was incredibly overrated. Never stands out for the Dutch national team when he starts and let's not overrate his average-to-decent tenure at Southampton.

Dutch Chris Smalling + Klopp who can't organize a defense = Recipe for disaster.
Dansk said:

I somehow missed that they paid £75m for him. Bloody hell. That's absolutely pants-on-head insane, even if you disregard his actual performances for Liverpool thus far. He was never some kind of world-class defender, he just showed promise. Seventy-five fecking million for an above average defender...

Saying VVD is the Dutch Chris Smalling is extremely harsh on Chris Smalling.
Mailo said:

That's very harsh on Smalling. He's one of the best out and out defenders in the league, if not the best. It's just his ballplaying skills that leaves a lot to be desired.

What they meant is, being a Dutch Chris Smalling is actually a praise for VVD and an insult for Chris Smalling.

This guy takes Liverpool to the next level though remember... guy is average as feck.

They broke the world record for a defender on a player who has played for Groningen, Celtic in the Scottish league, a mid-table PL club and for a second rate national team. It’s simply laughable.

Smalling is a good defender so this is a bit harsh..
Rossa said:

Yeah, and I don’t really see the similarities. In terms of defending, Smalling is much more capable, but VVD is much better with the ball. Are their similarities both are fast and black?
Mihai said:

That is why you don't spend 75mil on one defender when the rest are mediocre.
KM said:

I think he's a good player but genuinely Phil Jones is better. For the price Liverpool paid for him, that's just not good enough.
Kapardin said:
↑
When he's compared to Smalling, it doesn't mean he is crap. Rather, he's only as good as Smalling. Just as Smalling isn't worth 75 mil, neither is VVD.
I'd rate VVD as equal to our set of CBs, solid without being world class. Jose would get a tune out of him, but Klopp is absolutely not the right manager to improve his game.
TheReligion said:

Oh I'm here.
Just waiting for those trying to justify his price to appear. He's a good centre back nothing more. Certainly not top tier in the world. Hopefully this is obvious now.

Liverpool paid £75m for Smalling with a man bun.

We could buy 2 Eric Baileys for the price of this guy!
