van Dijk signs four year deal

1571

Absolutely delighted at the arrival of Dutch under-21 international central defender, Virgil van Dijk, on a four year deal.  A central defender was one of three priorities for this summer and we have secured our first choice target.

The signing will also give a boost to the squad, and a timely reminder to all that amidst talk of player potentially leaving ‘at the right price’, the Celtic Story is one of progress.

Celtic had the tallest team in the Champions League last season.  They were also top scorers from headed goals in the competition until Bayern Munich caught them in the semi-finals.  With the addition of two 6’4” players (van Dijk and Balde) we look to be consolidating our strengths.

Welcome to Celtic, Virgil.

Have you registered for 1254125 yet?  Tom Conniffe has.  He is walking the Leeds-Liverpool Canal in five days, which measures in a tad over 125 miles, all for the campaign.  It is this simple to participate; find something you can do, register online and get goingYou can support Tom here.

Last call for tonight’s special Lions Roar event.  Watch the 1967 European Cup final on big screens in the Kerrydale Suite followed by a Q&A with the men who made history (including Willie Wallace, Heart of a Lion available below).  See you there.

  1. Celtic have made a really positive start to the pre-season with the capiture of Balde and Big Dick……………

  2. Canmalar,Many years ago I received a 100 Celtic Shares as a present, obviously I still have them but it appears you need a minimum of 200 Shares to count.

     

    In the last Share Issue our Club bought 500 pounds worth they are in joint names, I don’t hold the Cert but I will get details etc and e-mail them on to you.

    First time I’ve read the questions to the Board ….. Can you clarify Q5 ‘ please …… Are you saying that the major shareholders should be charged with recompensing minor shareholders (like you and I) ………if so, the Board would argue that major investors have lost proportionately more due to the corruption ?………and proving there was corruption would need to involve the Police / Lawyers / Courts…?

     

     

    There is evidence, but I was under the impression BDO, and the Police were investigating…?

  4. Sorry guys, Ben Goldacre says that Cliff Arnall ain’t the real thing. Try Googling “Cliff Arnall bad science”. Prosecution rests.

    Aye.

     

     

    LeCarre – great writer of fiction, just like Jack an’ his ‘buddies’.

  6. Details needed,

     

     

    Name (same as on the share document)

     

    Certificate number

     

    Registration number

     

    Current Address (needs to be the same as share registration address the CST tell me they have come a cropper on this, if the board want to be obstructive this is a favourite strategy)

  7. Oh and obviously I need your back and credit card details with PIN numbers for the fact finding mission :oD

    Was at the game against Real Madrid. Dylan was the outstanding player on the field until he got injured. The Real fans around me were asking who he was etc.

     

     

    He does seem to have lost his mojo since then.

    Emeraldbee – there’s a heat wave in Rome just now

     

     

    I can ‘t recommend anywhere but they need to know there are 3 prices, one for Romans, one for Italians and one for foreign tourists

     

     

    And there is a lot of petty crime.

     

     

    Having said that it’s a fantastic place!

  14. Emerald Bee, Stayed at a place called the WindRose Hotel near Termini Station in Rome last year. There was a real down to earth Restaurant just across the road from it. It didn’t have any frills but the food was lovely, the staff extremely nice and by Rome standards it was extremely reasonable. If it wasn’t packed , you could also just hang on after the meal and drink pints. I used to have an understanding with them, I’d have my meal around 7pm and head off walking around the City for a couple of hours, get back about 10/10.30 and pop back in for a few pints of beer and then waddle across the road to my Hotel bed, at all times accompanied by Mrs. corkcelt of course.

  15. kikinthenakas, Glad to hear you are a fan of Rory. He was a very good friend of mine growing up in Cork in the early sixties.
