Transfer Rumour Virgil Van Dijk

[maccavennie]

Keane and VVD would be one of the best left foot right foot mens football central defensive/could be in a back 3/potential to be 2 fellas playing footy in the PL and also might play in European games combo

Ima be nice and give this a stab
Real: Varane and Ramos
Juve: Bazangli and chielleni
Spurs: Vertongan and alderwield
PSG: Silva and Marquinos
Bayern: Hummels and Boetang
Athletico: Godin and Jimenez
Napoli: Strinic and kouliby

Seven and counting without trying

Think you're all being a bit unfair to Zat here. Keane and VVD (not that it's ever going to happen) would be a fantastic centre back pairing that would compliment each other very well. As an Evertonian I'd be as happy with that pairing as any of the above named, as good as they may be.

This I will agree with.

But Zat didnt claim it would be a very good pairing which would bring happiness to Everton fans.

He said it would be the best CB pairing in Europe.

Oh yes Mike Keane and Van Clown would certainly be better than Spurs' two, Barca's two, Real's two, Bayern's two and they'd certainly be better than Atletico's two.

LADS?

I mean, it depends how you rate Ramos tbh... Yikes.

Good CB partnerships can be just as important as a 25 goal a season forward. That's why I'm shocked we haven't gone all out for a Van Dijk or Koulibaly as one of those along with Keane and hopefully a Giroud/Benteke to claw 15 goals or so that we'll lose from Rom will see us up there with a reliable keeper also been brought in.

We've spent good money on Pickford and Keane. It wont do us much good if Keane is out for a game and Jags/Williams play. I think a top CB partnership with a super keeper is more important than a top forward.

It allows us to play a high line on the pitch and dominate the opposition. Rather that than play with a 'weak' link where we could concede chances, id rather the back was a fortress.

Keane and VVD would be one of the best in the league, Europe is a wild call but defo in the league.

You see mate, I covered myself with the 'pairing' comment...

Chelsea and Spurs are 3s

Man Utd have Lindelof and Bailly
Arsenal cant even remember
Liverpool lol

He's quite simply one of the two best centre-halves in the world.

 

[canuckblue]

I'll go out on a limb here and say a Keane-Van Dijk pairing would be a substantial upgrade on what we have now.

 

[Zatara]

Having a 'pivot' still doesn't make it a 3 at the back. They play 4. That's very easy to see, if you actually sit down and watch a bit of football.

I don't think anyone would say Spurs play a flat back 4.

You can literally see the wing backs (1 now at city) and Dier dropping to make a 3.

Dunno what else to say really.

If they did a pairing of Vertonghen and Alderweireld then I think it would be the leagues best though.

Did we play a back 3 when Barry played?

He was simply doing what Dier does.

Spurs at times last season played a back 3, at others they didnt, look it up.
