    Welcome to Celtic Virgil.

    Really happy at the business we are doing so far. Still sticking to our same model of buying young prospects but we seem to have moved up the ladder in terms of potential, hopefully anyway.

    The future is bright.

    Champions League mate, that's what it does for you. We have a virtual free run at it for a good few years, it's essential we stay there.

    Like Balde, he seems to be spoken quite highly of among those in the know. Hope he does well here.

    Yep, I think that's why we are paying the going rate and not hanging around for the scraps on 31st August, Pistol Pete knows it's important to give Lenny what he wants so we can make it to the group stages again.

    Here's hoping it pays off. Also you've got to imagine all this spending will be putting another few thousand on the ST sales.

    It's all good at the moment, great time to be a Tim.

    Pretty * excited so far this window. I'm at the point though were I am more anxious the club sorts out who is staying out of our current team. I would happily not make another signing if it meant Hooper, Wanyama, Samaras etc signed new deals. This is a last 16 team who have been strengthened and who's current players are going to be even better next year due to the experience they have gained.

    A great signing for the acronym lovers on the forum. It's going to be a VVD fest. :smiley-laughing002:

    Interesting to see he has signed his contract in the boardroom at Celtic Park.

    All contract signings/unveilings etc have been done at Lennoxtown since it opened - last player that signed a contract at CP I'm sure was Robbie Keane.

    Looks great in the new strip, hope he's an absolute belter of a signing.

    £2.6m could yet be a potential steal.

    This guy has all the makings of being a top player for us. Young, yet still experienced at the top level (Dutch league is no walkover), capped for the Holland U21s, good presence about him, and judging from the comments of those who have watched him regularly, a very capable defender.

    Delighted that we've signed the big guy, looks a really good player with enormous potential:50:

    Seems like a nice guy as well, saying all the right things.

    Really pleased about this signing as we have needed a dominant centre back for a long time, and Virgy looks like he may fit that bill. Especially important as Gershon and Rogne are away and Ambrose is no good.

    Feels weird that Celtic are signing players so early, but pleasing as it allows them more time to settle in with the squad before the season starts. That can only help us with our CL qualifiers. Plus, added competition for squad places should provide ample motivation for the current first team stars.
