Rodgers: Losing De Vries as bad as selling Suarez
Two transfers have left Brendan Rodgers "really, really disappointed" in his career: Luis Suarez to Barcelona and Dorus de Vries to Wolves.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says losing Dorus de Vries from Swansea City was as painful as seeing Luis Suarez join Barcelona from Liverpool.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper signed a two-year deal with Celtic this week to rejoin Rodgers, with whom he won promotion to the Premier League in 2011 before signing for Wolves on a free transfer.
Rodgers is delighted to have reunited with the Dutchman, admitting that his Swansea departure was as difficult to accept as Suarez's £75million move to Barcelona two years ago.
