    Better character and attitude than any player I've seen at the club in a long time. Came in with no intention of Celtic being another team on his ladder. He involved himself with the fans and club instantly, and wanted to be engratiated in its history. Could easily see him being a captain one day, has all the heart and passion to go with it, not to mention he's got talent and ability.

    Forget the Huns game, he has shown plenty of quality since joining.

    I am not picking on Brown here, but just on Sviatchenko.

    I know he had a break before coming due to the winter break in Scandinavia but he was playing pretty much non stop from end of jan-may.

    It is this mentality that i love, its a career, its full time. He is always looking to improve, its why we in Scotland don't have the kind of talent that we should have as a country which loves football.

    If we can get him a competent partner we could have a really solid central defence next season.

    He's not better than Van Dijk in the air, at either end.

    I'd say Van Dijk is superior in pretty much every department :smiley-laughing002:

    He's a good replacement though. We were never gonna match Virgil

    Agreed mate, I love his attitude but still think there's a few question marks with him. Looks ancrackingg signing but plenty of scope to improve.

    He's like a van dijk-lite i'd say and there's nothing wrong with that considering Virgil is the best defender at our club this century.

    Also, Virgil over Johan for me. As an all round player.

    I'd love to see a Virgil best bits montage. Would have all sorts of clips in there. Him scoring free kicks, making mazy runs, nutmegging players, decking nicky law etc...

    Since we need a decent defence to back up Erik the Red how much will we get from the sell on clauses for Virgil and Forster to help get new defenders in.
    Victor wont be going to Arsenal so won't get any from there.

    VVD is the best centre-back I've seen here since Balde guy had all the tools
