£34m for Dembele...no thanks....his value is only going to grow in the next 1-2 years as he gains experience at top levels. I'm sure he will also be promoted to the French national side if he continues to progress as quickly as he has done which again will boost his profile / price. Then let City / Chelsea etc show us some real money or lose out...the ball is firmly in OUR court |

If we sold him and brought in those 3 players We need better than Bain if Gordon goes. Roberts and the other lad would be good business but wouldn't even make a dent in the transfer kitty we should be plundering if we get anything above 30m for Moussa. We would need to sign a striker of quality to replace Moussa. |

I can't see a transfer fees well in excess of £40m. I know times move on but players that have been going for that sort of figure and above are established players, not prospects, and certainly not prospects from a Scottish team. The best comparisons recently are Anthony Martial for circa £36m or Leroy Sane for £37m. Both full internationals before the transfer and both playing in better leagues. Moot point as I agree that he will be here for a bit longer! (I hope) |

There's no way Celtic are knocking back 30-40 million for any player. |

For me, there are three huge reasons to keep him. 1) There's no need to rush into a sale when you consider that clubs will be queuing up to offer mega money for him over the next two years; 2) It sends out the wrong message if people think we're incapable of holding onto our best players for longer than one transfer window; and 3) It's potentially a false economy. Sure, £30 million+ would be a great short-term windfall but if it costs us CL group stage qualification next season, not to mention how much we could potentially have to spend on a replacement, are we really any better off long-term? |

Form changes, players get injured, they throw a huff all sorts can happen. And on point 2 every club sells when the price is right. |

Who says Celtic have put 40m on his head or any price. Don't believe everything you see on sky. |

The fact is, Dembele didn't come here to be sold after 6 months. He could have gone somewhere else for good money. Spurs were title challengers last year and they wanted him (might even have won the league if they'd signed him in January). If Dembele and his agent had a plan to improve his game, then they're not going to chuck it out the window at the first chance of a move. And if Celtic try to force a move against their will, it could backfire on us. |

What about 25m and he stays here until summer 2018? Best for all parties if it where to be Chelsea. |

Injuries can happen, that's true (though statistically not many 20-year-olds have their careers ended). Form is temporary, class is permanent - and Dembele is well past the point of anyone thinking his form this year is just a fluke or purple patch. If anything, he's likely to get even better, which in turn will increase his value. I get that we're not living in the 1960s and it's not feasible to expect top players to commit their entire careers to Celtic - but surely we can get at least a full season out of new signings? |

The idea that clubs will be willing to spend more in 12-18 months is one I don't agree with. Dembele's stock is about as high as it can get right now short of getting a call up to the France national team. We would need to gamble on him performing better than he has already done in the CL to get more money for him. It's a gamble I wouldn't take if bids of £34-40m were on the table. |

that's a smashing idea. £15m less than is being talked about, and we get 18 months out of a player whose head is elsewhere. It's going to be a looooooooooooooooooong day

It looks like we will and it seems Moussa wants to stay, but if an offer comes in that's too good then we should take it. Some of the figures mentioned are in that camp. |

Players get loaned back to their original club as part of a transfer all the time That being said if we are selling him I'd be more inclined to just do that and replace him with the dough. |
