    If he goes in the summer can he be considered a cult hero?

    Surely if Van Dijk and Denayer go they will be considered the best centre back pairing that we have had for a good few years. (even though they only played together a year)

    They both have all the attributes to star down there.


    Think of all the duds and bang average players who have made/continue to make a career down there.

    Denayer's height will not be a problem. Have every confidence in him.

    He'll be one of the better centre halves in the league if/when he goes. I'll be absolutely devastated to see him leave :54:

    Holland have always had some weird selections.

    Remember Edson Braafheid coming on in the World Cup final after sitting on our bench all season. Didn't follow Iniesta's run and therefore was basically at fault for the goal/losing the World Cup :56:

    What is people's mad obsession with trying to turn our defenders into midfielders. Seems like every CB we get that can also pass people want to give him a shot at DM.

    Looking at that Dutch defence Virgil definietly deserves to be in and around it.

    Vlaar and Van Dijk would be a good CB partnership for the Netherlands

    I watched the press conference with Van Dijk yesterday - don't know how he kept his calm, I would have been furious. Journalists kept badgering him with questions about him not being called up to the Holland squad and his plans for next year. Infuriating.

    All stuff he should be saying. Hopefully he stays long enough to get us into the champions league.

    Sadly he won't be here when the transfer window shuts in the summer.

    I'd love it if he stayed another season but I'll be surprised if he does.

    Would love him to stay but just don't see it happening, although I did say the same last year.

    When he does eventually go I just hope we don't get short changed.

    Any links to this other than the 30 sec clip on Celtic TV. Or are you a Celtic TV subscriber?

    I doubt he'll be here but you never know, it's a big change from him openly wanting away before dens park..

    * good man Ronny. I have been saying the same for years. He is more valuable to us than a cheque especially until our fate is decided. If VVD is not sold behind his back i reckon we will romp our way into Europe this year! Happy days :celt_2:
