Nah, I wouldn't sell for 20M. He's one of the few genuinely exciting signings we've made in recent years. And the way he can make it happen specifically in big games, one way or another. His first trip to Ibrox could have been an issue, but he actually got better as the game went out, pulling out his Dembellend and slapped the huns about with it. I'd only sell if we get a proper legit cartoon money offer.
Dembellend :lol:
You've painted a picture now :o

Who is getting the slapping first ?

I nominate BFDJ.

Mainly because the Hun players are so crap I can't even work up a hatred for them.

I doubt he's worth more than 20 million to an epl side but he's worth more than 20 million to us because he will be key to securing Champions League football worth 30+million, also even if we used that 20 million to buy someone else we would potentially need to pay wages 3 or 4 times what Moussa is on which would add 3-5 million to the annual wage bill.
if we got 30m from this years Ch League , where is it? Runour has it Brendan has 6m to spend , possibly more if big Virgil moves. Whats happened to the rest?
It's paid after the competition so the club will not have received it yet - http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2398575.html

HB has tweets from Spiers who has interviewed Peter Lawwell, the club will get the full transfer fee for Moussassin.

Are there genuinely people who believe that we'd only receive a fraction of any transfer fee for Dembele? :lol:

That's a good piece by Speirs there. Emphasises a point made in this thread by me and - sadly - not many more that for Celtic to demonstrate the kind of ambition we fans deserves and the club's standing demands, we must strive to keep our best players for as long as possible. Encouraging to see Lawwell might at last be of like mind.

I thought we'd get about 75% so am pleasantly surprised.
Strange of Lawwell to say "not that I know of anyway"

Great business but hope he stays for ages yet.

It doesn't make a jot of sense. If our profit was capped at £7m, why even bother to sell him for a penny more? How would Dembele and his agent protect their interests and get Celtic to sell for higher? :ffs:

Naw - it's saying that if we got 30m for him, 23m of that would go to Dembele, with us getting the other 7. :lol:

The 4 year contract I think gives the game away for me, if it was 3 or less I could see him running down the contract and getting a mega salary move at the end, but with that 4th year I'd expect him to move next Jan if we are out of Europe or summer 2018 if not

The Insider did us a favour, actually. He put a floor on the bidding in everyone's mind. It has ended the SMSM's puerile "he'll be off at the first sight of £5m" pish. Listening to BFDJ's strangled efforts on the podcast to warn about the dangers of long-term injury -- "lookit Calum Patterson" -- was enjoyable. I should listen to that scheidt more often. :lol:
Not just the smsm who were saying that or pretty close to it :lol:

The priority has to be to keep Dembele for at least another year - his goals will help us get into the Champions League again for 2017/2018. He's only going to get better so whatever we get offered now or in the summer is unlikely to be a one time ever offer. We should hold firm.

I'm sure Moussa himself at his age will want another crack as a No.1 striker in the Champions League too. If he does that he could leave either next January - if we'd finished bottom of our group again - or in the summer having given himself some great experiences. His agent and him seem to have their heads screwed on right with regards to him playing first team football and getting Champions League experience. Going somewhere like West Ham doesn't give him the latter and even a Spurs for instance can't guarantee it.

Him toying with the orc at the end is just a sight to behold and another moment for an almighty collection one day. Fantastic. But the best bit? The socks near down to the ankles at the end of it all :lol: :worthy:

And im sure it was on here i read here someone saying they seen him laughing in the midst of it all :lol: That makes me all warm and effin fuzzy all over.

BRENDAN RODGERS has urged Celtic chiefs to trust him amid the transfer frenzy surrounding Moussa Dembele.

“Even if a club offered what we thought was the player’s worth now, we don’t need to do it.

“We want to improve and keep developing as a team.”

Rodgers added: “I respect the market in Scotland because it is tough.

“I can imagine that if someone comes in with, say £20million it’s like ‘bloody hell’. I can understand that.

“But if you invest some more time then you can maybe get even more money.” Rodgers is refusing to cash in on Dembele after just six months.

Bought for a £500,000 development fee from Fulham last summer the Hoops could rake in 60 times that, with clubs in England desperate to add firepower for the second half of the season.

But the Celtic boss – experienced in dealing with transfer sagas involving Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez at Liverpool – will not budge.

He added: “There’s nothing that will change that.

“It’s a testament to him and his team-mates how well he’s done but I said before and without sounding arrogant, I know his value and his worth.

“I’ve been in England and I know the type of money that gets exchanged.

“I hear people talk about players going from certain countries, but the club isn’t buying the country. The value is about the player, it doesn’t matter what league he’s in.”

Rodgers doesn’t believe Dembele will not rock the boat and cause issues over his future.

He added: “What I love about him as a 20-year-old boy is that he lives and breathes football.

“It’s his life and that’s why I think when he leaves Celtic he’ll go on to a big stage.

“Just hopefully not for a wee bit of time yet.”
