Make sure you show this to every Liverpool fan. They will have a meltdown. They all rate Van Dijk over Terry, but they never disagree with with anything Stevie Me says 😆

The last bit is the key though.

Van Dijk is arguably just as good as either Terry or Rio were their best. The difference is that the latter two were at the top level for more than a decade. 

At 26 years old, Terry was lifting his 2nd Premier League trophy. Being in the UEFA Team of the season alongside Nesta.

At 26 Van Dijk was at Southampton.

Terry had to defend against Henry, Rooney, Tevez, Aguero, Bergkamp, Suarez, RVP all in their primes.

Who's Van Dijk realistically had to go up against at Liverpool? Kane? An old Aguero?

You're proving my point. 

You've listed strikers that span a good 10-12 years. The fact Terry managed to play & win against all of them means he was at the top level during that same period.

Van Dijk only has Haaland & Kane but these are 2 strikers who have broken PL records.

This is why, in my opinion, VVD has never reached the playing levels Terry or Rio got to. 

 
Not sure if this ever got posted on here ?

It's from 9 months ago.

I'm a bit meh when it comes to Simon Jordan, but this is well worth a listen, and especially so for what JT says about how the standards at the club took a quantum leap when Roman took over.





BlueCo take note please !!!! 

 
He need to crack on becoming a manager, maybe he could have a crack at Strasbourg job one day?

I’m still disappointed Frank Lampard didn’t take on John Terry as his assistant while here, that would have been glorious.

Yeah never quite understood what happened with JT. He left Villa to pursue management opportunities but then never progressed. Obviously opportunities are hard to come by but you would think he would have enough contacts in the game. Frank got a helping hand by unlace Harry.

I just wonder whether JT’s reputation went against him?

He said he enjoyed working as the club's academy consultant as it allows him to spend time with his family. I would imagine once his kids get older he'll try and step into management.

His reputation was harsh as well, him and Bridges Mrs have always denied anything happened where as Giggs shagged his brothers Mrs for over 10 yrs and gets the Wales job.

Anton Ferdinand was full of sh*t.

He said a while ago he'd applied for lots of things, including quite lower league, but just wasn't getting hired.

Never forgiven for being picked ahead of Saint Steven as England captain.
