£40m for someone who's not our number one pick for the starting XI? It's a no brainer. |

From a former director of EPL club (and still heavily involved): Don't be surprised to see Dembele go for upwards of £50m next summer if he continues to develop at Celtic. Your biggest worry should be holding onto Rogers, his stock is rising hugely again. |

This 100% , I'm of the belief Moussa is pretty well grounded. I think he sees this club as a stepping stone to bigger things but only after a period of development. Nobody seriously thinks I can go to Club X and 12 months later I'll have learned all there is to know about my profession. I hope whatever development period was talked about when he signed is at least a season and a half to two full seasons. By then he'll have hopefully two seasons under his belt domestically with us winning trophies , two European campaigns and some full international caps for France. That would be the time to cash in. On the Roberts front and previous posters saying using any Moussa Moolah to get him signed. I'd love to think that was a possibility but the boy wants to go back to Man City to try and break into the team. He's been on a development journey with us for the last 12 months one which seems him going back to his parent club at the end of his loan unfortunately. The guy is a joy to watch, I think we've got as much out of the arrangement as Man City and Paddy have. The fact we want to keep him says a lot about how much he's come on under Brendan Rodgers I just don't think he sees himself in the Scottish premiership and I wouldn't hold that against him. On the Goalie issue, if we lose Gordon today we stick with what we've got. Gives DDV a true run in the team (he's only played 5 times for us) and gives us time to find another number 1 goalie to at least challenge De Vries in the summer window. We've got a cushion to end all cushions at the top of the league and don't need to panic buy a goalie now on the 11th hour.

The football logic would be that we can invest the money in the team. I agree that in an ideal world we'd hang on until at least post Champions League qualification next year and get the same price, but the board needs to weigh up all the risks of both options. My view is that anything over £30 million is a fantastic deal for us and one we're not likely to better. I don't want him to go but that's football. |

The Tottenham deal was never put to him as an option since Fulham wanted him on loan until the summer. Tottenham pulled the plug. Celtic nipped in in the summer due to cross-border loophole. Regardless of how much he wants to develop his game neither Moussa, his agent or Celtic aren't going to refuse a £32m plus offer. It would be insane to do so.

Considering he was nearly a Spurs player a year ago it would be a bit funny, in a Spurs effing up again kind of way. |

Chelsea were linked with him as well so them ponying tens of millions of pounds for him would be even funnier. |

Moussa's value to EPL clubs is huge as he is 'homegrown' and that's important for the UEFA club trained / association trained list. If they spent £33 million on Batshuayi, who's not looked the part yet, that's where the £34 million is coming from....... I'll be biting my nails all day and night, praying he at least stays til CL qualification is assured in the summer.....

Pretty much. Football is far too unpredictable and there's far too many variables in play to say 'If he's worth 'x' now, he'll be worth 'y' in [insert timeframe]. You've got to strike when the iron is hot. It's a genuinely path altering amount of money and if we play our cards right, which I have total faith in Rodgers, it'll take us to that next level with Porto, Benfica ect, as you've said. |

I understand concerns about CL qualifications. The main man there isn't Dembele but Rodgers. Going back to Malmo we didn't lose that tie because we lacked a quality striker like Dembele we lost it because we lacked a quality manager. |

He's an excellent player but if we got £40 million we'd have to take it. |

He has been to a few of our games so has probably seen Dembele live. |
