"Sunderland have made a £6m bid to sign Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk, 23, from Celtic after Atletico Madrid's Toby Alderweireld, 25, rejected a move to the Black Cats"
BBC Sports Home Page. Has anyone followed his career at Celtic...he so nearly came to us?

I'd like to see how he gets on in the Prem. Gus has made some bang average signings for the black cats so far but looks to turning them around.

This could be a very good signing if Celtic are willing to sell.

After missing out on group stage they may not be able to afford turning it down...

Great going forward, always looked a bit lazy defensively when I've watched him .

I think he's done well in Scotland. But that doesn't really count for much.

In the few Celtic matches I've seen, he always looks a class above the rest of the league. He would have been a great signing for us. He wanted to join us but Groningen weren't willing to sell at that point.

Always looked very good player whenever seen him play. Surprised a bigger club haven't come in for him.

Gus can't certainly spot a player
