Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
What if their offer didn't meet our valuation?
By the sounds of my Brother's pal, it sounds as if Man Utd are more than willing to pay a decent fee.
Man Utd have Rashford. Doubt they'll be looking to spend big on another young striker. They'll need to replace Ibrahimovic with a proven striker. Also don't think Ferguson has any influence at all now.

They have Anthony Martial too and Mourinho was only quoted this weekend saying that Martial needs to listen to him (Jose) and not his agent.

Fairly safe to say Dembele to Man Utd is bull and as for the "more than willing to pay a decent fee" stuff.... :lol:

Has the IT guy said if Fergie will allow Jose to match the £15m bid Man City already have on the table?

Man Utd supposedly are keen on him. Again rumour control but they have had 3 looks at him. Jose seems keen on him.

It's widely reported they've sent scouts to look at him. He works for a company that looks after Man Utd's IT equipment, he's a season ticket holder and regularly talks to people inside the club. I can't personally vouch for him, but my brother says that he's been spot on about the going ons at Man Utd before.

You wonder if Wenger being outrageously French and having a penchant for youngsters, maybe more than say Mourinho, that he would be interested??

Hopefully the miserly Arsene Wenger isn't interested.

As for all the Utd & City chat. Of course they are looking at Dembele. He is 20 and at this stage of his development is a pretty rare specimen. A 6 foot plus, mobile goalscorer.

I'll say it again, we'd be absolutely off our heads to sell him pre CL qualification. Even after that could be shooting ourselves in the foot if he were to have a good campaign and on the cusp of a full International cap. Let's not be too hasty for a change.

I agree.

But I also think that if a top 6 EPL side was looking at him, he may get loaned back out immediately as I think he's still developing into that standard of player.

Wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility if Man U did bid but with a loan back option to us for 18/24 months.

He just loves skelping the huns doesn't he? We'll look back in 5 years time and laugh that we had such a talent at Celtic.
We've had plenty much much better ;)
Away you go! Dembele has more potential than any player we've had for years and is already our top goalscorer despite being 20 and rough around the edges. Imagine what he's going to be like when he's 25/26 and fully smoothed out!

If we have 2 years of him playing the way he has shown he's capable of I have no doubt that he'll be at one of the real big boys before too long making a mark akin to none of our previous players. At which point we'll look back and think "Wow, remember when he skelped the huns a beauty for 2 seasons".



Either that or he'll end up being a wasted talent and we'll release him on a free in 3 years with Leyton Orient hovering.

Wouldnt surprise me.

He's got the physique,athleticism and strikers instinct-albeit not the finished article a la Drogba,yet.

But he's only 20 and,id imagine,will fill out and become even stronger in the next 5 years-which is a frightenng thought.

His football skills should develop apace also.

Many top managers will have observed this potential and similiarity.

Hopefully this video gets deleted from youtube.

It showcases everything that a £30m striker should have. Speed, power, a great touch, goalscorer, dribbling ability and a maturity beyond his years to take it into the corner and see out the game. Unbelievable performance from Moussa.

His link up play is excellent. Would find it hard to find a talent so good with his back to goal at that age.

Good post.

The reality is fantastic but the potential is frightening, will be years before he's at his peak and his aerial ability too will only improve. Rare to see such a physical striker at this level so young.

You'll only take him away at a crucial time in his development and waste a burgeoning talent

Video shows why it always should be Moussa over Griffiths in these type of games.*

He was unplayable in the second half.

*These type being every week.
