    Little bit early for this but this guy has all the raw ability to be genuinely top quality.

    He has a bit of pace, not quite ambrose or wilson but quicker than your average centre back, he dominates aerially, he can pass a football whether its 10 yards or 40 yards, an assured first touch and seems good positionally.

    Could be a snip for 2.5M and we may well have a future dutch internationalist on our hands.

    Been outstanding whenever I've seen him play. Can't believe how good he is. Position sense is class, can dribble, passing range is something else for a CB. Can't believe we've managed to snap this lad up.

    Could very well be next in line for a big money move in the next couple of years.

    Composed on the ball, and always looking to keep possession rather than just lump the ball out the park like Stephen McManus used to do, and that was him trying to pick out a Celtic player :icon_mrgreen:

    Looks to be a real find the big guy.

    I'm seriously * impressed with Van Dijk. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the Netherlands squad going to Brazil by the end of the season.

    Just thinking that myself, he is already looking so good we are going to have a hard job holding onto him soon I think. Could be another Wanyama job before long.

    So solid at CB, he makes Ambrose play better too. The passing range is a bonus. Made the most impact of all the signings so far, although Pukki is not far off.

    He's better than any of the current Dutch CB-s.

    This guy is the real deal, I can see him playing the Wanyama role
    in midfield next season.

    How long is he signed for ?

    Better extend it before he goes to world cup finals in Brazil, cause after
    that the really top European sides will be after him.

    Man of the match today. He's got a huge future ahead of him. Hard to believe he's only 22. Didn't lose an aerial battle, got forward well & his range of passing is absolutely frightening.

    Sound like we should start scouting his replacement already
