I honestly can't see anyone bidding more than £20m for him at this point. Not buying this story at all.

I can't see him ever hitting the £50m mark while he is still with us. He'd need to score 6 or more goals in the CL next season to even come close to that figure. |

If we sell Dembele now then fail to qualify next season due to not having replaced him then there goes the 30m. We also need to fathom in the money we've spent on wages for Toure, Dembele and Sinclair this season. Not convinced we will reinvest that money in the squad. And going by BR's demeanour in terms of his comments on our transfer activity this month reading between the lines he feels let down which doesn't fill me with optimism that our board will reinvest in the top quality we need to keep making progress. We will discuss the charity bet if it does happen I hope Dembele stays - I don't want the money |

Related question....but slightly "askew" Lets say Dembele goes for £35 million. Realistically, aside from needing to replace Dembele, how many players and in what positions do you think the current team would need, to really compete to get to last 16 of CL. What's the minimum price we would have to pay for that kind of impact, slots right in, hits the ground running, type of player. What would be the minimum weekly wage for such players, say over a 3 year contract. |

He was hardly the key to us qualifying though. 2 goals out of the 11 we scored, started (and subbed off) in first 3, came on as a sub in the final 3. I don't actually think he's going in this window but it's daft to suggest that him leaving would be a death blow to our chances of qualifying. |

The other factor if there is any truth in this is the player himself. He won`t go to Chelsea to sit on their bench, he could have done that at the start of the season with a biggish English club. He wants to play and he knows he`ll make stupid ( or even stupider) money down the line. |

It's not daft considering he's now at the stage where he practically plays every game. We would need to bed in a new striker over the qualifiers and it took time for Moussa to settle. Again if we're looking for quality then most of those players tend to be on holiday when we play our qualifiers as the top leagues don't start back till nearer September. Griffiths is out the picture and doesn't look like getting back in anytime soon, if ever. Edited by Kingslim, 31 Jan 2017, 01:30 PM.

Another striker, a central defender, a central midfielder and possibly a right winger. £4-5m each. £25k+ wages each. Edited by Milton, 31 Jan 2017, 01:34 PM.

Surely someone on here works for the NHS and can do a quick search and see if the scan today is baloney or not. I'm not being serious. You will get the sack |

I'd say we need an upgrade on the wings as well. |

Agreed. Right back was supposed to read right winger. Forrest doesn't quite cut the mustard and Roberts is going. |

Don't know- he'll be asking himself, what if he makes a breakthrough there? While earning in a week what he gets in a month with us, probably. Understandable if his head gets turned. |

Never said Dembele was key to us qualifying through last year, but regardless of how important or not we think Dembele was to last years CL campaign, I doubt Chelsea are valuing him solely based on his performances against SPFL competition. Also, I'm more interested in the difference and contribution he could make to this years CL campaign. |

I really can't understand why so many people are willing to accept a big offer for Dembele. If we keep our best players, we're more likely to qualify for the CL regularly. If we qualify regularly, we'll attract even better players. If we attract even better players, we're more likely to reach the Last 16 regularly. If we reach the Last 16 regularly we'll attract the very best players. And then, who knows what we might achieve. |
