I was skeptical when we bought him, to say the least. He has proven me wrong. A very dependable guy, and a solid foundation of our defence. It's going to be extremely difficult to replace him, once the time comes.
If you look at how consistently good he's been playing over the course of 1,5 seasons for us now, he's easily up there with some of the best defenders we've ever had. Also keep in mind how well he played at the Euros.

I read about some of his stats, and they are mindblowing. 87 out of 94 possible starts in all competitions, only 8 yellow cards conceded, no red cards. He almost requires no rest.
And to think we got him on the cheap. Bargain of the century.
