Here's a bit of a precis...

Context was a discussion about Van Dijk and Laporte being among the best centre backs in the league. Question was then "do you wish you'd bought another centre back?" Hindsight obvs yes but...
believes all 4 cbs are Premier level / for the bottom 6/7 clubs.
"Why do you think Grant Hanley looks a better Prem player than Championship"...
Last season injured all preason and then out of the team, never got momentum from there. Proper warrior, hard, type that if you told him to put his head on the spot for the team and someone would kick it he'd do it. He's got outstanding pace and the Prem is a pace league that suits him. No ones ever going to run him down the side. Can he aggressive in his defending and the players dont like it where strikers in the Champs actually relish the scrap.
Good captain so far, maturing a lot as a footballer and person and his prime to come now (I looked it up and he's only 28). Put himself in a position in to push on now.
