    I'd be very surprised if he's still here this time next week.

    Let's do everything we can to keep him. If we sell him, the board should be disgusted with themselves.

    Awk I don't begrudge him his move. He's too good for us at the moment. I really do think if we'd invested a bit more and qualified he'd have stuck around though.

    He can * off as far, as I'm concerned. His heart hasn't been at Celtic since day one. I think he's in for a shock when he heads south. Don't let the door hit your * on the way out, Virgil.

    What a load of bollocks. Based on what? You wouldn't be annoyed if our best players by a mile left because you've invented some * in your head about his "heart not being in it"? Think of what is best for Celtic to progress as a team. Selling Van Dijk would be horrible for us.

    He has already stated he wanted to play at the the highest level which of course is the UCL! Why would/should he want stay at this shambles of a club? Virgil is head & shoulders above the rest of the squad as a footballer he deserves to be playing for a better team than we currently have! We should have:-
    Forster
    Lustig. Wilson. VanDijk. ?
    Brown.Wanyama Ledley
    McGregor. Samaras
    Hooper
    With still the quality of Commons, Forrest, Mathews, Johansen, Kayal etc to fall back on as a squad!!
    The board don't give a *, the fans are another defeat from full on open revolt! Last night I fear wasn't even the high watermark of * that we'll see this season! As long as the likes of Ambrose, Mulgrew, Izzaguire & Stokes are considered 1st team must play we shall remain *!

    He will go for sure. We have to balance the books for last night's disaster.
    £8M might be about right.

    He's had his moments too, was shocking against legia and generally thinks he is better than he is with all his waltzing out of defence leaving us bare at the back when he gets caught out!!! A very good player but we have lost far better than him. If he doesn't want to stay then cheerio big man, being a Celtic player unfortunately means you take the good with the bad. Seems he like a few others before him only want the good!!!

    No, I'm not. I haven't yet accepted Celtic's status as a feeder club for English Premier League nonentities.

    Do you think he has ever wanted to be at Celtic? Do you think he would have stayed in January if Southampton had met our asking price?

    He all but said that he was off if we failed to qualify. He seems to think he's above the club and he was hugely disrespectful towards his comrades on the park. We win and lose as a team. If we lose, you're culpable as well, Virgil.

    Buy em young and them leaving asap is not * working....the club is leaking players like a * ebola victim and not enough coming in the other end.

    Time for us to sign a few good defenders that are 30+ and stop leaking goals like a under 16 girls football team.

    With some luck they would give us 3 or 4 years before retiring.

    How * off will he be if a club doesn't come in for him now in the remainder of the window?

    I don't think there have been any solid bids in for him yet, just pure speculation. He has made it clear that he wants CL football though, so he will end up looking very hypocritical if he leaves for a club like Newcastle.

    Ironic now that Louis van Gaal himself has moved to the EPL and is failing badly.
