They’d all like to play for Real Madrid

754

Virgil van Dijk is a class defender, one of the best we’ve seen in recent decades, but there’s no revelation in the fact that he would consider moving to the right club at a more testing league; they all would.  The only pertinent fact about Virgil is that several clubs may put that to the test later this year.

The main thing to consider with Virgil is that he’s not likely to ‘Do a Kelvin’, and report as not in the right frame of mind to play, midway through Champions League qualifiers.  With Jason Denayer wanted back in Manchester, it’s important Celtic retain Virgil for the qualifiers, or are sufficiently compensated before then that they can confidently secure the early signatures of prime targets.

From what I hear, Virgil’s been more than professional in his dealings with the club.  He’s not running campaigns to leave and despite the plainly obvious that they would all like to play for Real Madrid, if the right move doesn’t materialise, he’ll get stuck in at Celtic for next season.  So it’s not time to reminisce on favourite VVD moments yet, like the time that wee boy bounced off him at Hampden.

Trophy Day at Celtic Park is coming up on Sunday, 24 May when we play Inverness, when the Foundation will be distributing badges before the game to raise funds for the enormous work they do for the local homeless, the world’s poor, those with autism, those with Downs, and many more people and families who need your care.

You can participate in our annual Trophy Day by volunteering to work with the Foundation before kick-off.  It is genuinely good fun and you get to step into the 127-year-old shoes those who have gone before you.

There are around 100 volunteers and we’re only looking for around 20 more, so get in soon by emailing cfcfoundation@celticfc.co.uk or calling 0141 551 4291.

    “We all have our views but I like to hear from the players. Just a personal thing. Most are as boring as dish water”

     

     

    Livibhoy,

     

     

    Lol. This is where we differ. On camera I wouldn’t thank you for a players opinion.

     

     

    The 90mins (or so) on the pitch tells me all I need to know.

     

     

    Although I must admit I have a wee penchant for our managers pre-match conferences :)

    Yes it’s a young man’s game. …..i would give it a bash though

  4. Evening folks.

     

     

    Just on very briefly as I’m snowed under with stuff just now. I’ll be attending a Celtic Trust meeting on Thursday night before attending the Fans forum next Monday. If you have anything Celtic related that you’d like raised at either of these meetings then please contact me on hamiltontim@hotmail.co.uk the expectation is that both Ronny and PL will be there like before.

    Gearoid at 21 46.

     

     

    I hope you are well.

     

     

    Fabregas is quite unpopular among some of the Barcelona support, they felt he didn’t perform as well as he should have at Barca. They will dislike him even more after saying Mourinho is the best manager he has worked with.

     

     

    I shouldn’t have posted about my opinion of Fabregas. He’s not one of my favourites.

    Paul McStay?

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    Xavi was better than Paul because he had better players alongside him.

     

     

    Paul could easily be Xavi.

     

     

    Just having Henryk just ahead of Paul. WOW.

    Gearoid, buns wearing protective masks could still not cover how naturally gruesome some of them are .

    Tut Tut. What did our parents tell us?

     

    “If you don’t have something good to say about someone. It is best to say nothing.” :)))

     

    Agree re Fabregas, however. ;)

    You need to email your question. The instructions were quite clear. I bet you never stuck to an essay word limit either.

  13. its a wee world, but i wouldnt want to paint it.

     

     

    I was in Stuttgart, Munich and Rosenheim couple of weeks ago.

     

     

    Then took the train from rosenheim, change at innsbruck, and on via lichtenstein to zurich.

     

     

    quite stunning alpine scene, unbelivably pretty at points.

     

     

    expensive beers though.

     

     

    everything is a trade off.

    411 is too high for me!

     

    The lungs prefer the short stairs into 138.

     

    One Love. :)

  15. world peace is none of your business on

    rangers are ignoring the spfl and only charging their fans £5 entry into this sundays game.they love to think they are still the most important club and have a mentality of you wont tell us what to do coz we r the rangers.

     

     

    they actually call ibrox lady ibrox.madness.

     

     

    kenny misser has triggered another years contract,8 goals in 36 games,music to my ears give him a five year contract and be done with it.

    So funny, they really are comedy gold.

     

     

    Mr Custard is my favourite.

    WITS

     

     

    The whole stadium should be a place of fun.

     

    It always is in my head anyway. :)

  19. The Windswept House is a Big Read, Kojo even gave it his Seal of approval, Bad or Guid depending on whatever.

     

     

    It is a Book to be read by intellects, IMO.

    Nothing on this earth could or would cover up their ugliness on the inside.

    Delaney’s dunky at 2226, you are correct on both your points

     

     

    I can still taste the bar of fairy toilet soap on my tongue when my mum washed my mouth when she heard me swearing when i was four.

     

     

    Good night all, sleep well.

  22. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Gearoid at 22 48, never have truer words been spoken.
