    Guy has only won every domestic trophy available and sits top of the league having played a game less, yes ibrokes was an unmitigated disaster but the hyperbole on here is off the charts.

    The entire Premiership turned him down when we bought him and Warnock says Sol Bamba was better.

    All those wee anocdotes are great banter but ultimately we took the chance and he’s become what he’s become.

    lol where do I bash him? I just find it interesting that Rodgers didn't want him apparently given how successful he's gone on to be and how much cheaper Liverpool could've got him.

    Doesn’t look out of place.

    He’s that good, he’s turned Ramos into a RB.

    I couldnt believe that some couldnt see what a player he was. His composure and physicality was leagues above anything we had at the time. Id never seen an opponent get the better of VVD throughout the course of a match.

    Some even said Denayer was better. I didnt mind Denayer but he was nowhere near as dominant as VVD. Whats more is I seen John Sutton give Denayer a torrid time. Van Dijk was a different gravy. Deila just didnt have our defence organised.

    For what its worth i look at Ajer and think he could be a top center back if he can get fit and a run of games. The way he runs out with the ball and is strong in the air. I think he could do a top job at defensive mid also. My mate who is a Killie fan said when he was on loan there he was a class apart and was marshallig the defence like a seasoned pro.

    Would have been a different story if he was called Virgil Van MacDijk.
