    Aye, but if big Dermot decided to start throwing cash around I doubt you'd get many on here complaining about it! :smiley-laughing002:

    But technically he can't unless he goes for a complete takover, though that said he has given us non interest loans before and picked up certain players salaries i believe :smiley-laughing002:

    Back to van Dijk...

    He is now following Jordy Clasie, Victor Wanyama, Graziano Pelle & Fraser Forster on Twitter. Clasie as a fellow dutchman and Forster as a former teammate is perhaps understandable. But he hasn't been a teammate of either Wanyama or Pelle. Wanyama and van Dijk were only teammates at Celtic for a matter of days in 2013.

    van Dijk favourited this tweet by Fraser Forster...

    Fraser Forster ‏@FraserForster Aug 6
    Well done to the lads on another excellent result. Great to get through to the next round. #EuropaLeague #WeMarchOn

    and this one by Jordy Clasie...

    Jordy Clasie ‏@JordyClasie Jul 30
    Proud to make my official debut for Southampton! #saintsfc

    That's a yes then.:50:

    Oh & your CEO Gareth Rodgers says in that same statement


    “There are lots of positives to take from these financial results. Recording the first profit and positive net asset position for the first time since administration in 2009 is very pleasing. It shows the health of the club and the Group is strong and the foundations are there to be built on.

    I'll accept his take on it, he wouldn't say it on your official website
    if it wasn't true would he?:rolleyes:

    As I said... the holding company was legally in admin, not the football club. The football club need not need a CVA. Rogers is referring to the holding company which had a number of companies under it.

    Well its true in the sense that it is van Dijk's official twitter account and he has recently started following Southampton players and favouriting their tweets. Why would he do that?

    Was only joking got a real soft spot for Saints, well run club who had a great season last year against all the odds. Saw them best Arsesnal at the Emirates in the LC thought they were excellent.

    Think Virgil is a perfect fit for them. And they have paid good money for both Victor and FF.

    Good luck for the season.:50:

    In the last couple of days he started following Graziano Pelle and Victor Wanyama. Pelle is Italian and Wanyama & van Dijk were only at Celtic together for a matter of days in 2013.

    Looks like we're going to be having a friendly with Southampton Celtic next season.

    He best go for big money. At least what Wanyama went for.

    Also, I wonder what sort of sell-on fee we have attached to all these players who went down south.

    Forster
    Wanyama
    Ki
    Ledley
    Hooper
    VVD?

    If we stuck a 20% clause on each of those players, we could see us bringing in plenty more money in the future.

    I didn't say it was a done deal. But its quite a coincidence to start following players at a club you have been recently linked with.
