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
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.
Well if hes here next year or after that, then we can entertain the bids if they are suitably inflated.

I appreciate that every player has a price

Eventually

Is this the same West Ham who bid £5 million for Defoe? Total bollocks.

It's all come from the "insider" column on the official west ham website. Hammers fans have always been convinced that the "insider" is Sullivan.

No surprise that clubs are after Dembele, possibly only surprise is that a bid has has come in so soon. I can't see us selling this transfer window unless Dembele wants to move. If Dembele is happy to continue his development with us, we will have him till at least the summer, if not beyond.

I can't see him wanting to go to West Ham in any case. They are not in a good position on or off the park and quite frankly, Moussa has the ability and the potential to play for a better club. He will know where he wants to go as his next step and when, we will also want to sell him to a top tier club in Europe, not at a reduced fee to a stepping stone club. We do that and we become even more attractive a club to young players around Europe.

Don't all shout at me at the same time however here goes,
If Moussa has stated that he wants to go at the end of the season, remember I said if please, would it be feasible to take the big dough now and get someone in this window to give them time to get up to speed for Champions League Qualifiers.
I hope it's not the case but what do we think?

I don't think he will leave this window or in the summer as it stands.

However..... every player has his price. If someone offers something mental like £40mil he will be off.

Brendan knows this better than most. Suarez signed a new contract at Liverpool, declared his love for the club & the city and then effed off to Barcelona as soon as they offered money Liverpool couldn't turn down.

Celtic hold all the cards here so I'm fairly relaxed about it. Moussa is hardly gonna be demanding he gets sold to west effing ham either.

Everton have just signed lookman who is 19, from charlton, a L1 team for £11M. He's scored 9 goals this season and is a u20 English internationalist, according to the BBC.

Dembele has played and scored in the champions league and is playing regularly for the French u21s.

Need to bid more than £25m if they really want him.... When £30m is offered, let's see who else fancies buying and start an auction....

Assuming he's said he wants to leave, which I doubt, then it would make sense to buy someone this window. The problem is that we can't afford a £20 million player's wages so it would be difficult to replace him.

I think we'll get another year or eighteen months from him, which should increase his value. An ideal scenario in terms of his eventual selling price would be another good showing in the CL and a call-up to the France squad.

Edit: should add that I don't think he'll end up at West Ham. At his current rate of progress a much bigger team than that will sign him.

Who did he beat to win the French Under 21 POTY title?

The value of the best of the rest may help us gauge his value.

The West ham fans seem to be finding it hard to believe that they would spend that much on anyone too. The board don't seem popular with the cockernees

If mid table epl is offering 20m now, just think what he will be going for in another year or so.

I think he will be gone in the summer. Once the bigger clubs are involved and offering silly money it will be just to ridiculous to turn down.

20m after 6 months though. effing insane.

And when did Celtic say that?
Was mentioned in STVs sport bulletin tonight
They would look silly saying that when it's clearly not the case.
