The Virgil Van Dijk Stays at Southampton Thread

Xavi, Matt Le Tissier's biggest fan...

 

“I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them. Celtic Park is a tough place to go to, it is never easy to get a result there. It is the best atmosphere in Europe and we all want to experience that again.”
Messi

Wonder if hes ever heard of Southampton

 

So he liked someone who played for you? Cool, man. I think everyone loves Le Tiss though, so not really news.

 

Cracking post, bud.

Nice try - they drew

 

I bet not many Yanks know who Celtic are, or Chinese.

How often are SPL games shown there?

 

Yeah, I heard he said the same about Leigh Griffiths.

What point are you trying to clumsily make on here? Are Celtic historically a bigger club than Southampton? Yes.

Is a move to Southampton, playing in the Premier League a step up for players in footballing terms? Yes.

Both of these things are indisputably true.

So what exactly is your point?

 

Ps. He didn't win

 

Funny how your best players quickly come down to sign for Southampton

 

Aye, the tiny Irish diaspora in the states don't support Celtic. Are you wise?

What about the billions of Chinese and the rest of Asia?

 

We know that, mate. That's the money, not because you're a big club. The money has distorted what people view as 'success'. For real big teams, it's trophies, Europe, history.

For small clubs who make up the cannon fodder in the Premier League, it's being soundly pumped by the top teams and then having your best players bought from you.

 

Patrick Roberts is probably the best English talent currently in the game, he became an Invincible and it will be tough to maintain his motivation after reaching the pinnacle at such a young age.

 

You can have China, mate. I bet Southampton are massive there

Thanks to our Asian CB we are known in Asia.

 

"I didn't know what it really was to play in a football match until I joined Southampton. At Celtic it was really just a glorified training session in front of some fans, at Southampton it was proper football"
Victor Wanyama


"My career has improved so much since I joined Southampton, at Celtic I was lucky if the opposition even crossed the half way line, I was just so bored there. Except for the Champions League qualifiers, they were awful. We always lost, our defence had never had a chance to practice against a decent attacking side"
Fraser Forster

"It was always my dream to play for Celtic. I hope I can play there forever. Unless someone richer wants me to play for them. I liked their song You'll Never Walk Alone, because it reminded me of how much I love Liverpool."

You sure he's not ramming it up your arse?
