If this brother was at Real, Barca, any PL club, Ladri or half of Germany he would be regarded the best CB in the world no questions asked. If Harry M is worth 80 Milan is worth triple digits but too be honest we should be discussing nothing but our plans to make him Handanovic's heir to the captaincy.

LADS IT'S FUCKING GENOA

I love our CB trio, but they will get more respect overall when we don't crash out of CL group or when we keep Juve from scoring on both games.

A little bit of context before we go overboard.

Correct, international reputation is built in champions league or EPL.
Champions League, full stop.

PL alone doesn't do that much, but its hype machines are pumping recognition for some otherwise obscure players, but it's not as if anyone knows those guys, it's mostly consumed within the PL community. It's just large and annoying, so you'd think that everyone actually gives a damn.

International football and the CL remain the main scenes. The PL just has a lot of fuss around it, but does anyone know what someone like Ben White looks like?

I’ll have to disagree with you there. If you’re performing at United, city, chelsea or Liverpool your profile is lifted like crazy. It’s not a replacement for CL but it’s close.

True to an extent, but it is typically combined with CL.

But it's mostly for internal consumption. I don't think anyone really considered Joe Gomez a top defender outside of Liverpool fans and some PL fans for example.

PL fans and generally English speaking world is controlling the (football) internet so you see more about them of course and less about anyone else. If you check Spanish, German, French and Italian media they don't really follow this hype. There aren't a great deal of international websites in English, most are revovled around PL bias as well (Goal.com, espnfc etc)

3 as usual. Regardless he'll always be the fans' favourite non-Italian player. Gave it all and will give it all. Always positive and puts in a good shift. Hopefully he'll become our Cordoba (leadership-wise).

This is in my top 3 performances I've ever seen from an Inter CB, he was disgusting. What a player.

World Class, our best defender. Has that something that De Vrij lacks and sadly always will. We won't be able to keep him around if our financial troubles continue.

This guy certainly did not deserve to lose tonight what a performance from him, gave it his all and cheered so hard when he made important tackles, tried especially in first half to attack and defend, he's a credit to our team and I feel so bad for him tonight.
