    David van Zanten is a St. Mirren legend.

    Yeah, at 31 he's probably not as good as he once was, but he's been a brilliant servant to the club over two spells and has certainly turned in more good performances than bad in both spells with us. He's been consistent over the piece, has never, ever been a wage thief or a mercenary (no-one really grudged him the chance of what was at the time, a step up to Hibs), has contributed greatly to numerous successful relegation battles, a league win and two cup wins, and has never shirked away or taken the huff when things aren't going his way. Through all the shite and nonsense of attitudes and mouthy f**kers who have played for us, he's never been a name which has come up as a trouble maker or a shit stirrer. I have nothing but respect for the guy.

    Spot on. The only point I'm making is I don't think he's good enough at this level anymore.

    DVZ is a legend and he is in the hall of fame.

    We should remember that and give him some f**ken respect.

    This is not the way to speak about a man who has given his all for the club.

    What by saying he's not good enough. Truth hurts then.. You're right he is a legend. But he isn't the player he was. Clearly he isn't good enough now

    He's probably the most comfortable on the ball of all our defenders and is still reasonable going forwards. Defensively he's ok, but seems to be the most gaff prone.

    Disagree. He is woeful defensively especially, stands off his player far too much and gets caught out of position far to often for a full back. He puts in the odd decent cross that's about it.

    Shocked to read the continued abuse directed towards Van Zanten.

    I've always thought he was decent and he certainly doesn't warrant the bad mouthing.

    The reason we let in so many goals isn't that we don't have good defenders. Its the managers tactics!

    Van Zanten is past it as mentioned. He was a good players now he's just not.

    Total liability.

    Got rid off? We wanted him to extend his contract he never wanted to. End of discussion

    Is it? We obviously didn't offer him first team football. Which is a massive mistake if we are going with Van Zanten dor this season, if we offered MCginn first team football it would have sorted that position for a good few years to come.

    Id have left as well if I had to play second fiddle to van Zanten and Barron.
