Moussa Dembele

Strange situation to be in. Not sure we can drop Griffiths on current form when Dembele's fit, but not sure that it's wise to let £30m depreciate on the bench.

I guess the usual injury cycle will take care of it, but it's a tricky situation for to manage.

The autumn's hectic CL/League Cup/League schedule will help too.

When Moussa returns I think he'll only be starting domestic games until he's fit.

He didn't look fit before he got injured.

Agreed. Throwing a 3rd striker in of a decent level that expects game time makes it worse too. I think even if the pair are fit there will be enough games to keep them happy.

Griffiths is one of our top players and would score as many goals as Dembele in my opinion.....but based on BR selection, it's obvious he prefers Dembele and also prefers to play 1 of the 2. It's a good problem to have I suppose but unfortunate for Griff. I like the arrangement of Dembele and Griffiths competing for that spot and Sinclair being available as a 3rd striker and would spend any money on we have on a better CB.

I'm virtually certain he will be off in deadline day if a champions league side comes in for him with big bucks.

So based on nothing then :lol:

We're not going into the season with only one striker, and I can't see teams spending huge money on a player whose hamstring has been an issue for 6 months.

Pessimistic nonsense.

It's an opinion mate not being pessimistic at all.

He's one of the most sought after young players in Europe FFS.

Be astounded if a mega bucks bid or two doesn't come in by end of the month.

BRs admitted as much himself.

That's being realistic not pessimistic.

Think Dembele is the better striker, but no way can you drop Griffiths the form he is in right now. He's earned it and he deserves it.

Even if a bid came in, I doubt we'd accept it.
We don't need the money, and we wouldn't have time to spend the money.

We don't sell star players after only one season.

Moussa Dembele will be at Celtic until next summer.

That's the plan.

Which French media ?
Maxifoot, apparently.
It isn't really a media. They basically copy any news they can find on the internet or make up rumours. During each transfer window they link almost all professional footballers with a club like Marseille. They have no contact in French football.

Things have changed deastically since last year. Griff has screwed the nut and is a much better player. Hes playing the Rodgers way now. I cant see Griff being dropped on current form and attitude. Rodgers is pragmatic.

I'm not worried about Moussassin and Griffalo handling sixty games between them from a 'who do we drop' perspective. I think they need some help to lessen their load, and the knocks and strains. We need a third forward.
