    The move immediately makes the team weaker, without doubt.
    The notion that the money will make us stronger is pure conjecture and guess work.
    Whats more is only a fraction of this fee will go directly back into reinvestment of players. You would have to calculate the budget sheets and take into consideration our balance from the season and recent seasons.

    Going to Southampton is a step up and anyone who cant see that or understand the reasons why is a numpty.

    This will be a huge test for our defence and RD to reorganise and build our defence.

    Also...Everyone always assumes it JUST about the league football and money.

    He will have hopes for a regular international place as well ! And far more likely (sadly) to be on the Dutch Radar if playing 'down there'.

    I am not bitter, I said this days ago before anything was confirmed, his attitude was stinking toward leaving, and he is getting massive praise for what? We could have achieved exactly what we did without him, he * up where it mattered in Europe.

    We got a * good deal, cause as much as none of you want to admit, he is well overrated! Good footballer, defensively not the best.

    It's because it was expected I'm actually sick of it though! Don't blame him at all but wait till everyone realises what we have just lost then we will all be gutted

    it doesnt really change anything, we still have no chance in Europe this season and we will still win the league, probably the double and maybe the treble

    nothing has changed

    Wanyama was a huge loss as well. Now we don't have somebody to protect the defense and we don't have Van Dijk to bail us out.

    Now's when we need to be tactically at our best, we need to be shrewd on the pitch, with Ajax only a couple of weeks away.

    if he was that good why has our defence been atrocious for years now?

    How was his attitude stinking?
    Never handed in a transfer request, played every game in the midst of all speculation.
    Maybe you cant recognise a decent defender, even despite the fact we havnt had one as good in decades.
    Maybe you cant see what a sorry state our defence would have been in without him.
    Lets think about it for a moment. Two mid table EPL teams in for a dead cert future internationalist. But because you think hes overrated, opposinng thousands of other celtic fans view,
    It must be true.

    Players come and go, no need for bitterness.
