    Very interesting comments from Lenny.
    He saw from day one that the big guy was going to be a superstar and couldn’t believe his luck that he got him at that price.

    £1.5m jesus christ.

    Considering he was highly rated in Holland that's insane.

    Yep. Was in the Eredivisie team of the season just before we signed him.

    Feel like a player like that would cost £10-15 million minimum now.

    Is he the first ex celt since larson to lift the big cup? (If they win that is)

    Talent was obvious to see. Another few like him and the big clubs will be coming direct spending 20-30 per player instead of triple a year or 2 down the line.

    How’s he played since going to Liverpool? Mind seeing his first few games and thinking he looked a bit shaky, excluding the Everton game

    He’s been excellent when I’ve watched them. Really pulled their defence together, they still concede a few but that’s down to Klopps tactics.

    Was listening to TalkSport on the drive in this morning, someone who worked or works for Crystal Palace was looking into trying to buy Van Dijk from us. Their chief scout told him that Van Dijk didn't have it and that he wasn't pushed enough in Scotland. Alan Brazil just laughed at him and said it only took him 20 minutes of a match to see his quality and potential. Shows the ignorance towards the game, from down south.

    On another note, I do feel a lot of pride at the thought of an ex-Celt appearing in a CL final, this weekend. First one since Henrik, I believe?

    Just doing some quick figures:

    We got him for £1.5m

    Sold him for £13.5m with an sure 20% going to his old club on profit am sure a read somewhere

    £2.5m (rounded figures)

    £9.5m profit then add in a minimum £7.5m when he went to Liverpool

    £17m profit on one player!!!

    I was thinking today that it’s likely Southampton would’ve had a clause in the sale of VVD that gets them a bit more money if Liverpool win a major honour.

    Might get us an extra wee £100k - pure speculation of course. :50:

    There’s your problem mate, don’t listen to that *. I’m sure it’s run by the guys that run the Sun and it’s very anti Celtic.

    From someone living with a son with autism I know how much that would make that wee girls day. Great gesture from the big man.
