Like I've been saying lately, it shows how shit centre backs are currently. He's done absolutely nothing to justify even half that fee other than be just above average, while the majority in this league are bang average. They obviously think he's the best of a bad bunch. I will watch him closely at Liverpool for him to sort out all their defensive problems. Watching him at Southampton this season he's been useless. |

Southampton will be chucking around £15m fees like confetti now - probably to our detriment again!

Let's put it this way. For every clip sky can dig out on the news showing him making a tackle, they could find one with him making a mistake or being caught out of position.

Maybe now people will stop harping on about the 18 million we paid for Wimmer. In the current climate, 18 million quid gets you fuck all. |

Gary Neville has just said the same. He hadn't been that good. Summed up by sky with the only stat in his favour, headers won. He tops the headers won, so Liverpool can Chuck him in there to help when teams go long, or set pieces.

Someone else who thinks he's a "playmaker" first and a defender second. I have no issue with "cultured" defenders but not at the expense of their basic duties.......

Anything's a big improvement on what they've got, that's why they're paying over the odds for someone just better than what they've got. The art of defending in this league is gone. |

Did we really think that when this league is worth billions, that players would still be exchanged for a couple of million. |

You'll just have to come to terms with it defending is just not what people want to watch. |

That is just fucking hilarious - £75mil for a bang average centre half. Football is being killed a little bit more everyday

We really should have bigged up our own cult of Mark Cartwright, transfer maestro. Les Reed has had more than his fair share of shockers at Southampton, and outside of 1 season Southampton haven't really been much ahead of us and coupled with that they're in a worse situation than we are right now but don't seem to be a crisis club.
It's bizarre the PR effect it can have, he's played in 12 of 20 games so far because he's been having a strop for 8 of them, and he missed half of last season. They're not exactly paying for a sure thing, and odds are they're still going to have a ton of defensive issues.
It actually would've made a lot more sense for Man City to be doing this, he wouldn't have the burden of having to rescue their defence in what is a team unit related duty. Haven't Liverpool spent almost £200m now on Southampton players, you have to wonder if their scouts ever buy anything other than a national express coach ticket down to Southampton for their scouting.

I think the proportion who don't like it increases quite sharply when you move the focus from those who go to games to armchair fans and we all know who pays the bills. |

Even Gary Neville has just said on sky he's been really poor this season. If he's the best of a bad bunch, it explains why there's goals going in all over the place in this league. |

He isn't fit to lace the boots of players who've recently finished and those in the past. Vidic, Ferdinand,Stam, Adams, Campbell, keown, butcher, overson, cranson. I could go on all night listing defenders way better than any in this league.
It's only going get worse.
