    It would be magic if we could hold on to him for one more season, anyone know roughly what kind of wages he is on?

    Just a first class central defender , don't know what else to say . Will be impossible to replace .

    Fantastic player, he'll be impossible to replace.

    Hopefully we get another season out of him.

    A crack at the CL for VVD and he will perform very well.
    He owes it to himself, the fans and his team mates to stay for the CL onslaught.

    Larsson.


    As good as Hooper was, as good as Griffiths can be, we haven't ever replaced Larsson.

    Imagine him and Kelvin Wilson together we wouldn't have conceded a league goal all season

    I was meaning more that whilst we may not be able to replace the player with another of equal/better quality, we can bring in players good enough to play in said position for Celtic.

    Ah fair enough then.

    Still though, even if we do get a Kelvin Wilson type centre half, Virgil would still be a huge miss.

    We lost Wilson who was superb and replaced him with VVD we can do it again

    Kelvin Wilson was a good player for us but Virgil is an a different level to him , that's why Virgil won't be moving to Nottingham Forrest for pennies. We would have to be very very lucky with our budget to directly replace Virgil with a player of the same ability.

    We've been blessed with some excellent CB's since the one and only Billy McNeill retired.

    Didn't Wilson go the Forrest for about £2m? Hardly pennies for a homesick player we allowed to leave after getting him for nothing.
