The way I see it, if bidding is starting at £20M we could get more than that in the future if we can hold onto him. Other thing to take into account is that he's potentially worth £30M to us by staying and helping us qualify for the CL next season, even if we don't we could still get the fee, or alternatively take it if we do and have a replacement. Don't know if it's been posted already, similar video of the one on the last few pages from the Rangers game but of the first one. Actually think you can even see the improvement in his play between both over the course of five months. Dembele 5-1 game |

I might just be There is a reason he came to Celtic, when he could have chosen an Epl team and its not just down to us not having to pay a full fee for him. |

He'll be here for another 18 months and will go for 40m IMO. ^ Agree with the above post too. Edited by Jinkys 7, 5 Jan 2017, 10:49 PM.

Chance fir Dembele to vo there and keep them up, be hero, recognised by other Engkish and also showing them that he can score in highest paid league in Europe. May seem like a challenge for Dembele, one that he would like to take. That and at least 50k a week. |

Its hilarious jumping between here and FF - they are going into meltdown with more pages on Moussa than any other transfer thread for der peeps! Mind you, Ali Crawford is generating some heat as well! |

I know what you're saying but, as someone already pointed out with the way Liverpool squandered the Suarez money, selling one great player for a fortune and using the cash to bring in several good players rarely works. Spurs did a similar thing with the Gareth Bale money. Yes we could sign some very useful players with the Dembele fee but we're not going to find a striker as good as him who can terrorise defences the way he terrorised Man City this season. I'd be tempted if our starting XI was weak overall and the £20 million was needed to buy five players who could instantly improve the team. But I don't feel that's the case at all. In fact, given what a settled team we have at the moment, I think it would be an unnecessary disaster to make wholesale changes. What's more likely is that we'd use some of the fee to sign an inferior replacement and bank the remainder of the money. |

He said the plan was to get Sanchez as a replacement to play with Sturridge supported by Sterling, Lallana and Coutinho. Lambert was to be used as cover. That sounds like a decent plan. They didn't go the extra mile to get Sanchez and ended up scrambling about to get Balotelli. Sturridge got injured and Lambert ended up being their main striker. |

They also spent £20 million on Markovic, £20 million on Lovren and £12 million on Moreno - proving how easy it is to absolutely waste a massive windfall like the one they got for Suarez. I'd rather keep Dembele than take the gamble that we could use any potential transfer fee to improve the overall depth of the squad. Edited by One sharp cookie, 5 Jan 2017, 11:06 PM.

I read elsewhere he's on c £30k/week and we've made up to £30m from the Champion's League so if we take £1m of that and convert it to wages then it takes him up to £50k/week. Problem solved? |

I said this a few days ago, I'd be surprised if Dembele's agent hadn't negotiated a cut of any future transfer fee as part of the deal with Celtic. They seem well aware of his worth. If he has then even if Celtic were offered £20m we might end up with quite a bit less. I cannot see us letting him go for less than £30m. Crazy money, but they're all spending crazy money. I reckon he'll be here until this time next year. |

West Ham have made no secret of the fact they've bid for Sunderland's Jermaine Defoe so they're certainly not going to worry about upsetting a team that plays in a completely different league. |

I'm happy to see him stay for the CL qualifiers, then he can go on Sep 1 2017. |

I don't think he'll be away this month and certainly not to West Ham for 20 million. We need to start playing hardball with these effers because they will pay te money. For me bids start at 30 million taking into consideration, his age, attributes, position and the fact he has already dome it at CL level and will most likely be promoted to the full French squad, eff did he not score twice against England U21 add another 5 million then Personally I would like him to stay for at least two seasons however may most likely won't happen. |

If Moussa was motivated by money he wouldn't have signed with us. He knows he is set for the big money anyway, why settle for West Ham now when he has potential to be at a top European force. |
