Not sure he will be carrying a few more pounds. The way BR and his backroom team seem to go about things - I reckon this is meticulously monitored and if they felt he was carrying too much I doubt he would have played. Given he played, I'm taking it that the coaches are happy with his physical condition.

He's young, its game 1 of the season for him, against a team who had 10 men defending in their own third of the pitch. His role was to probably occupy 2/3 defenders to create space elsewhere.
I don't think his carrying extra body fat. That's not acceptable and I don't think he would be playing if that was the case.
BR won't tolerate body fat above 10%, and won't look at new players unless they fit in with this.
The bhoy trains hard with Celtic and then does night training sessions with a personal trainer all sanctioned by Celtic. As before he's a young guy getting back to fitness. He wasn't going to be playing last night until Griffiths got injured.
We're lucky to have him.

Discussions with Marseille breaking on SSN. Rodgers quoted as saying nothing will happen until the last CL qualifier. Sky going with a 20m fee. Assuming an extra ten on top for an EPL team.

£20 million would be ridiculous. That's less than we make from qualifying for the CL group stages and not a million miles higher than the fees being made for lower league goalscorers like Assombolonga, Rhodes and Kodija. Can't see that happening unless there's a secret clause in his contract no one knows about.

Think this is a non-story. His has another 3 years on his contract and we are loaded. Why sell when the likelihood is he will only get better. He also seems very settled so unless we get a monster offer selling makes no sense.

Can't remember the last time Sky broke any of our news. Especially one as big as this would be.

Fully expect him to still be here come September.

Also Marseille bought Germain from Monaco and are seemingly close to signing Bacca from Milan for 15m. He's been left out of their pre-season squad.

There's a dearth of quality centre forwards around the world at the moment. That being the case, I've no doubt that cash-rich clubs like Everton, Marseille and AC Milan have the resources to make us an offer we'd find very difficult to turn down. But that offer should be nowhere near £20 million in an era where players with similar track records to Dembele are moving for double that. Milan just spent almost £40 million on a young striker from Porto who has only been playing first team football for one season.

Why would he go to a team that couldn't beat the huns? :)

Anyone else heard any whispers that he pulled up in training over the weekend and is a doubt for Wednesday?



No striker Wednesday night if true.

If he were to move to a French team it would need to be a PSG or Monaco type. This is a guy who has a very clear vision for where he wants his career to go. Kicking around in the Europa League, for a team that just finished 5th in what isn't exactly the strongest league, doesn't really fit that vision.

Dembele wants maximum exposure. If he leaves us it's either for another Champions League team or one for an EPL/La Liga side.

Aye I read that on the Rosenborg forum which said, via Google translate, that they'd read it on Talk Celtic.

£20M? Are they wanting him on a season long loan for that type of fee?
