      Nah it's pish because it's complete and utter pish.

      As is most of your posts.

      If loads of people say you're wrong then you're probably wrong.

      Godin is the only centre back on the planet I could hear an argument for being better than VVD. To say he's not top 10 is just crazy. He may be in the top 10 in terms of overall players regardless of position.

      WORLD CLASS has to be the most overused term when it comes to players ... People, VVD is Not in the top ten CB in the World and no amount of believing, or positivity will make it so

      Iā€™m sorry but VVD would waltz into any team in the world and even picking him up for Ā£75 million seems a absolute bargain.

      Oh yes, a very strong argument could be made that he's the best in the world. He has it all, defensive capability, great in the air, strong leadership, great ball playing ability. I mean if you designed a perfect CB...you'd likely get Virgil.

      Unbelievable that the usual suspects are now trying to be "controversial" by claiming VVD is not amongst the best around.

      Talk about overplaying your hand.

      VVD has been even better than I thought he would be. He's probably gone up 10-15m in value since we got him.

      I rate him in the top 10! Out of curiosity, where do you rate VVD? Maybe top 11 if not top 10?

      I donā€™t think itā€™s that easy. Itā€™s like saying ā€˜I think that lettuce actually tastes like salmonā€™ and then going ā€˜letā€™s agree to disagreeā€™. No letā€™s agree youā€™re wrong.

      Thought I would look up and see where VVD was rated, just to see if I was maybe mistaken in what I believe, and was being to inflexible...

      This is what I found...

      Depending on where you look,One source rates VVD as the 3rd best in the world, Another rates him as the 8th best in the World (Both source named 10 centre backs) while two more sources did not name him at all ( Both those two named 20 Centre backs)...

      So really some think he is Among the Top ten in the world some don't even think he comes in the top twenty

      Guess maybe that lettuce was rapped around salmon after all

      What I find alarming at the moment are the number of outlandish comments made - for attention? - and then in face of overwhelming evidence stood by and defended.......

      Out of interest which defenders do you rate as better than VVD, I assume you can easily name the 10.

      What are the sources you are referring to, at this point I don't think we can just take your word for it, sorry.

      Where do you rate VVD? 18th? 24th? etc...
      Who do you rate above him?
      There is possibly reasons you don't like him, whilst they aren't obvious to me it would still be interesting to know why you don't rate him.

      There used to be a Castrol Ranking but I cannot find it now.
      Squawka rates VVD as 3rd best defender in the world, I am not sure that is reliable because it rated Ramos as 2nd.
      I do think VVD is in the top 5 though.

      And to try and create a narrative, like "Reina wasn't very good, he had slow reflexes" along with the equally silly "Allison is slow to get down" as though gravity applies differently to some keepers.

      It's all very peculiar, especially this trying to create a narrative.
      I mean, at the end of the day, what is there to be gained.

      I've probably missed a couple out, but I'd say below defenders other than Ramos are around equal, but Van Dijk just edges it because he is younger which means his stamina will be a bit higher.

      Kompany - 32
      Godin - 32
      Chiellini - 34
      Pique - 31
      Ramos - 32
      Alderweireld - 29
      Van Dijk - 27
