I've got a serious man crush for this guy. Just read his recent comments. Hope what he's saying transpires and he becomes a legend here. |

Even if he only stays for a couple of years, he's at least got the brains not to come out with any stepping stone patter. And if he somehow stays for more than 2, all the better. |

Incredibly composed and talented on the park, remarkably mature and level headed off it. At 20 years old. If he keeps improving at his current rate he'll end up at the very top. Moussa Dembele is a perfect example of why Celtic should always pay to have a top quality manager at the helm. The playing budget should always come second to coaching in priority. |

Has there ever been a suggestion that he has any release clauses in his contract? From what's been said by BR about his dealing with the agent it seems logical to assume there would be. Very heartening to read his comments. Hopefully we can maximise his ability and both he and the club can achieve great things. |

Let's enjoy him while he is here. A big club, big money offer could come as early as this summer, despite what he says to the media. |

He is quality. That turn of foot to get the penalty when he's been on the park 80 odd minutes was incredible. |

Love him, BMG's defenders won't be looking forward to going up against him on Wednesday night. |

Release clause? Would seem very unusual. We had break clauses in the likes of Nakamura's and Du Wei's contracts given the decent ha creased they might not settle in the country. That's why Nakamura was put on a new deal after the first year. Or at least that's how it was reported. Dembele is a young European talent who has been playing in the U.K and who cost us a minimal sum. Our only exposure is high wages and that's fairly normal for us. A buy out clause is more likely. If Spurs were genuinely offering £6m in Jan then there's a basis for putting a valuation on him. Even then I think it's a bit early to judge and i would have thought we'd try to push back on that just now. Our top player valuations will be based on the sums we got for Forster, Wanyama and Van Dijk. We'd know that his value will be impacted by whether we qualify for CL and how he does in it and whether he makes an impact on the international scene (so far so good). It would be unfortunate if we'd put say a £10m minimum buy out at this stage, especially given that there ought one an uplift on his price forn(1h being a striker and )2) having some English pedigree (only applicable if selling to EPL) |

Brilliant burst of pace to win that penalty yesterday. This lad can play a bit. Hope him and his agent keep the sensible heids on and he hangs around with us for a few years. |

Becoming the best striker at Celtic since Larsson left is easily within his reach. |

He's incredibly fast over a short distance, which must be frightening for defenders. Especially as he's also very strong. Really does look like he's got it all & I mean everything, attitude, mentality, workrate - those things that set apart the very good from the absolute world class. If he stays here for 2 seasons & keeps improving, then he could also have a huge impact on the other players & club as a whole - especially if he gets a call up from Deschamps. It would be absolutely massive for Celtic & Scottish football, to have a French first team player & send out a very big message to other young talents hoping to make their way in the game. I think we've set ourselves up to be the go to club, for ambitious young players & if Tierney & Moussa can break through & make an impact on the CL regularly, like they did against Citeh... Then guys like Ajer, Henderson, Christie etc will be bursting a gut to get some of the same & it'll become a culture. The future looks very bright. |

Yesterday was the most comfortable i've seen him on the ball. He looks much more relaxed now and it showed in his deft little touches and the confidence to try that curling effort. Getting better all the time. |

I wouldn't be surprised if he's called up during this World Cup qualifying campaign. France and light on top quality strikers and he's improving at a very fast rate. |

Zidane was speaking very highly of him recently then 2 goals for the U21's, more goals on Wednesday and I'd hope to see him in the full team in November. |

One skill missing from Moussa's locker at the moment is the ability to put the ball in the back of the net from free kicks. I'm sure Brendan has him working on this. It will be magnificent to see him develop into the type of player who has the ability to score from dead balls (like Nakamura.) Something to look forward to for all of us. |

Zidane was full of praise when he first signed. Basically saying it'd be a great move as he'd get game time score a lot of goals, then eventually move on to one of the bigger leagues. |

Has he even took a free kick for us? Genuine question btw. I don't think he has. Edited by allthewine, 17 Oct 2016, 12:13 PM.
