See when Celtic say that £20 million is not up to the Clubs valuation, that gives out the wrong signal in my opinion.

The stock answer to any bid, fake, mischievous or genuine should be "Not for sale at any price"

West Ham ffs
Considering we've sold all our best players over the past five years (most of them to Southampton - a smaller club than West Ham), it would come across as more than a tad hollow for the club to suddenly start pretending that our players are off limits. Everyone knows there will be a price we'd sell him for. What we don't know is what that price is.

£25 million is about half of what he's worth. Did you see the YouTube clip of his contribution against Sevco? We'll let Ciftci go for £25 million. Brendan's playing hardball.

I think the club have wised up to the Southampton tactic of buying our best players with a view to selling on for a profit. I think we're now looking to sell direct to the bigger clubs.

West Ham ffs
Every player is for sale, Man Utd, one of the biggest clubs in the world couldn't say no to Real Madrid for Ronaldo.

When the time and money is right, Dembele will be off, if we keep him for another year and he performs well in the Champions League again as well as winning a full France cap, well I think we'd be looking at upwards of £35 million.

Given his age you're basically buying his whole career.

Correct. Hopefully recent transactions success will mean EPL clubs will pay that bit more for our players now.

Our attitude as a Club under Rodgers is night and day compared to when we sold VVD for example.

I accept however that every player also has a price, but six months into a four year deal we shouldn't be entertaining other clubs and their mischievious bids.

Tell the football world he isn't for sale.

I'd love to see him stay for at least another season. We don't need the money at the moment, and I doubt anyone at the club would want to piss of Rodgers by selling him.

If he stays another 18 months, bags another few CL goals (maybe gets us to last 16) and breaks into France squad, then we can name our price in summer 2018.

Southampton are doing exactly the same thing we're doing. We bought Wanyama, Van Dijk and Forster with a view to getting some top performances from them before selling them on for a huge profit. There's nothing to "wisen up" about. We got the going rate at the time for those guys. The Van Dijk fee, in particular, was a huge fee for someone who wasn't even a regular in his national squad at the time and who was playing in a league which, rightly or wrongly, is viewed as being a Mickey Mouse competition down south. Given that Dembele was turning down clubs like Spurs just a few months ago because he wanted to go somewhere he was guaranteed to play, there's nothing to suggest that his opinion has changed. I reckon he's more than happy to stay in Scotland for the time being but, if he was to move, I could see him preferring somewhere like West Ham (where he'd be first choice) to playing backup to Costa or Kane at Chelsea or Spurs.
