This thread is funny as it's just a procession of the highest one liner compliments. No waxing lyrical, no pontificating, no if onlys. Just admiration. Doesn't really get much better than that for a defender.

The bedding in thing was a bit silly really (in the nicest way), to me he looked class from minute one. But we went through the motions of introducing him slowly still.

We've so many who are class atm I have to scroll up to see who's thread I'm in when I see posts like that.

The MOTD coverage was shit, not a true reflection of the game at all 

[Chicken Dancer]

Very good looking kid who happens to be fucking class at football. Love him.

Was clear he was the main one we wanted in January and you can see why. He’s made to build a team around, 22 years old and already looks totally at home, 

 

£32m man, ridiculous bargain. 
 

Spurs spent £45m on Davison Sanchez. 

[elbee909]

Nah no other team spent money on players, only Newcastle does that.

[Kanji]

He’s worth double we paid, and I’m convinced he’ll be a top 5 CB in the world. 

[Lotus]

Was it Botman who got beaten to the ball for the flick on that led to their goal? I couldn’t really see.

 I'm sure it'll be relevant in time, but at the moment we have a back 5 that cost £5m less than Harry Maguire, a midfield that cost £6m less than Casemiro, and a strike force that cost £5m less than Anthony.

 

The idea that we've bought our current position is ludicrous like, we haven't even gone beyond the surplus that Ashley accrued yet. 

 

And that's before getting onto the fact that 2 of our best performing players have been:

• a converted number 9 flop who became our Player of the Season winning box-to-box destroyer
• a player bought nearly 4 years ago, who we all agreed was the player that most needed replacing and our weakest link - who's now our top scorer and 5th top scorer in the league

Aye. Arsenal have spent £350m in the last 3 years - it's rarely brought up. That's on top of a team that won the FA Cup and regularly finished top 6-8.

Good point. 

[LV]

All this bullshit about the money we’ve spent.

 

Most teams have got like a 12 year headstart on us after Ashley holding us back for so long. 

[Tiresias]

Botman rarely gets a mention in the press even in analysis of our games. Nice for us for it to be low key but can't help but feel if Liverpool or Arsenal had bought him there would be ravings about him everywhere

@Heron when does he get a big flag?

 

In good time, don't worry folk

Can you make it a giant flag, mostly transparent, with the faintest writing of “Botman” in opaque letters. So it’s a large and imposing poster that you only really notice it’s presence if you look for it, like the man himself

If you need help with a barely legible display, pop down the road and I'm sure your opposite number there will give you some pointers.

I can certainly suggest it

[Thorpinho]

Surely botman doesn't get a flag, and instead has his image projected into the sky on an evening kick off (chelsea at home). 

[Unbelievable]

De Ligt has gone off injured today. Perhaps an opening in the Holland squad for wor Sven?

Only if you want Wor Sven to be responsible for suffocating half our fan base to death.
