    Our lass was round at Kris Common's mam yesterday and spoke to him when he rang.

    The Virgil Van Dijk to Sunderland transfer is a possibility because he wants to play in the Premier League.

    He reckons Poyet is well respected and only personal terms would be an issue.

    I think a lot may depend on the second leg of the CL qualifier, them having lost heavily tonight.

    The CL apart, which they won't win, they only have 3rd division standard teams to endure.

    The Scottish Championship is totally meaningless isn't it .......who'll win it this season I wonder <whistle>

    @CaulkinTheTimes reports SAFC have bid 6m for Celtic's van Dijk. Know Gus likes him, but wary of paying too much for player untested in PL

    http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...launch-10MILLION-bid-for-Dutch-defensive-star

    Van Dijk has starred for the Scottish outfit since his £2.5m move from Gronigen last summer.

    And following Celtic's failure to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League, Starsport understands the Gunners are now thought to be weighing up a move.

    Arsene Wenger is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements after selling Belgian ace Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona earlier this summer.

    &#8220;Let&#8217;s see what happens. The transfer window will be open until Monday night&#8221;

    Newcastle, Sunderland and Southampton have also been linked with Van Dijk this summer.

    The player seems certain to quit Parkhead after revealing he is considering his future in light of their Champions League exit.

    &#8220;It is difficult to say if this *defeat will have an influence on my future,&#8221; Van Dijk told the Dutch broadcaster NOS. &#8220;I want to play at the highest level.

    &#8220;We were playing for a place in the Champions League group stages, and sadly we haven&#8217;t gone through.

    "I am a Celtic player for now, but we will have to see what happens. The Champions League is the highest level, and now we have gone into the Europa League. It is still European football, but on a somewhat lower level.

    "Let&#8217;s see what happens. The transfer window will be open until Monday night.&#8221;

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Depending on when them quotes were said it would appear to me as if he wants CL football...

    So would be surprised if he is keen to come here

    Watch him against Maribor & he didn't look great to me like. I rather go for Richards.

    Virgil van Dijk has told Celtic he wants to quit Parkhead before the transfer window closes on Monday night.
    The £9million-rated Dutch defender has been the subject of interest from clubs including Sunderland, Newcastle, Sevilla and Southampton.
    And, despite serving just 12 months of a four-year deal, the 23-year-old wants to leave following Tuesday night&#8217;s Champions League exit at the hands of Maribor.

    What the hell is the point when Poyet will play him out of position like Whickham. And he will go to a team that think bigger than us like Sevella.
