Biggest man in goals, quietest man on the mic, what a keeper he was for us, an honestly i would take the big man back again for a 3rd time

If he came back it would be a fifth time, incredible!

At times it was "too easy" for VVD at Celtic, the problem was that he often played like that and was prone to some very basic errors due to not applying himself properly. He was clearly a very talented defender when we signed him in 2013 BUT there's a reason he wasn't snapped up by Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord and there's a reason that Celtic only got £12 million from Southampton for him in 2015 and not £30-40 million from the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd etc.... There's been a bit of re-writing of history, in terms of his two seasons at Celtic, because he went on to be one of the best CB's in world football for a time

of course it was, it’s not like in 2 years u can go from a meh player to a world class player, people always say he took a while to get to his peak when in reality he was probably there for a few years prior it’s just he wasn’t in good enough teams to be noticed. Rice is a good comparison he’s probably been at a top level for a couple years now but i know personally i didn’t rate him all that highly cus he was doing it for west ham

@@ben29424 do us a favour and go watch the goals we conceded that game and try to tell me he’s at fault for any of them lol, one man in a back 4 and keeper can’t single-handedly stop another team scoring they can just pass around him and attack the other defenders. Don’t be so naive lol how many top defenders have been at or gone to worse teams and they can’t keep as many clean sheets cus how can one player stop the other team scoring every attack

@YerDa67 Ай бұрын

They’re laughing about Lennon saying that he won’t be here long… That’s the problem, Celtic cannot keep any of their great players (bar Larsson). The teams with far more money than the clubs in Scotland swarm around players like VVD like vultures. It’s sad, imagine the success Celtic (and other Scottish clubs) would have had if they could keep their best players…

I wanted Manchester United to get Van Dijk from Celtic so bad. Watching him dribble the entire pitch, ping long balls, score bangers from open play and free kicks, he was unreal. Then he eventually went to Liverpool and ruined it. Idk why Van Gaal never signed him.

He was good for Celtic but he also had a few less positive performances, Edward Ofere of Caley Thistle dominated him in a scottish cup semi-final. He was doing more on the ball at Celtic, taking free-kicks and trying to dribble through teams on his own (see his goal against St Johnstone), but he wasn’t as good defensively as he became when he went down south.

Ramos started as an attacker. That's why he knows how to score. He couldn't tie Maldini or Baresi's laces when it came to defending. No one could. Best sweeper and left back in history. Spain has won one world cup and 2 euros with a once in a generation team. Italy has won 4. Plus 2 euros! Messi, Maradonna and Platini have Italian lineage. As do alot of Argentinean and Brazilian greats. Including Di Stefano( Real Madrid Legend). Kryuff taught Barcelona how to play football. A Dutchman! Spaniards are full of themselves. Without Di Stefano and Dutch maestro Kryuff, Spanish football would still be in the dark ages.

everyone at celtic knew he would go down and be one of the top defenders down there. at the time not many people down there did not beileve us. we keep telling you who is gonna be tops who go down and you just right us off up here. from di candio to viduka. to larsson and van dijk. its a case of just sobbish english supporters and all that prem league money going to their heads. when we say celtic and rangers are bigger than 80% of prem league clubs we mean it. but your bankrolls are bigger. it doesnt mean you are a bigger club.
