Faster than a speeding bullet!A lot of reports suggest he lacks pace. Someone please tell me he's quicker than the likes of Alves etc?
He reads the game well so if he isn't the quickest then he will make up for that with his anticipation. You don't need to be quick to get there first.A lot of reports suggest he lacks pace. Someone please tell me he's quicker than the likes of Alves etc?
He doesn't look that slow in his video clips, standard speedA lot of reports suggest he lacks pace. Someone please tell me he's quicker than the likes of Alves etc?

Good point VB! I suppose we will soon see for ourselves.Its all subjective though - slow in comparison to whom? Ryan Kent would look slow against Usain Bolt. Against everybody else he's lightning fast. Is the comparison to other 6foot 4inch defenders or to speedy wingers?
BAny actual news on the signing or just 15 pages of pish since I last checked?

David Weir was slower than a week in the cells but probably our best centre half since Richard Gough. As long as he reads the game well that won't be a problem.A lot of reports suggest he lacks pace. Someone please tell me he's quicker than the likes of Alves etc?
Here you go mateGood stuff mate, can you please send me some clips of him ??
But can he deal with Curtis Main and Connor Salmon ?That comparison was made by an Italian Expert the Evening Times spoke with who said he struggled to match the pace of the fastest CF's in Serie A which he said are very quick, but his positioning is so good for reading the danger it made up for it, he also said he made some outstanding last ditch tackles and when given a Man marking job he would take his man out of the match.
Any word on helander signing today? Not seen any photos of him in Glasgow yet.

Any chance of posting that again? I haven't been very successful finding any content on him which is strange as he has plenty of games under his belt in one of the best league's on the planet and is an Internationalist.I saw the video recoba posted with helander. He does look like a really good centre back.
He was up against Mertens, Dybala, El Shaaraway, Insigne, Icardi, Zapata, Belotti, Ronaldo, Milik & Piatek.
Am sure he will struggle against the likes of Main, May, Cosgrove, Kamberi, Edouard, Brophy, Naimsith, & Thumb. None of them have blistering pace.
I don't know how to post videos or pictures on here. If u scroll up. You should see the videoAny chance of posting that again?

Well said! Absalout trifles on here!Signing a proven international player for a lot of money let’s enjoy the moment as it wasn’t long ago we had such amazing CBs like Perry and Cibriani , Not to mention Russel Martin.
This forum is a absolute joke at times.

He also knows when too judge his tacklesI know you cant judge too much from a short clip but he looks completely comfortable with ball at his feet. Which was one of his criticisms
Im hyped
Is never heard of the lad, I’m sure h&h said something about Liverpool looking at him as low cost (for them) cover so maybe someone there has put Stevie G on to him. I hope we sent John Brown to have a look at him.

He’s not far away.....airport auntie has soaked 3 pairs of knickers already this morning but has resolved the problem now with a mop up her arse
is he even doing his medical today?Anyone know if this is being announced today?
Count me in nCan we try steer this back to positivity again?
Those that have watched him reckon it’s a very good deal, good comments by Rino today
Huge outlay and arguably most exciting signing since early00’s in that terms
Left sided, ticks all our boxes, adds massive depth to the team
I get the worry over the price but that’s why we have Mark Allen, I trust them to do what’s right
I’m fully on board for this and being positive, who’s with me?
is he even doing his medical today?
i seen that earlier that maybe be done down south fingers crossed we get this one signed soon enoughNo word hes in country yet. Let alone a medical. Every chance he could do it down south

Great if trueNewcastle Utd considered a move for him too so perhaps Rafa had a wee word.
Newcastle tried to sign him last year I heardI’d never heard of the lad, I’m sure h&h said something about Liverpool looking at him as low cost (for them) cover so maybe someone there has put Stevie G on to him. I hope we sent John Brown to have a look at him.

Hopefully those big blonde locks coming through Glasgow Airport soon.
The tackle 'stat' is interesting.
I'm sure it shows Van Dijk never makes a tackle either. And he's still one of the best defenders in the world
