Yes. Why not. Watch the highlights on Match of the Day and maybe even get a new healthy hobby

There's also a huge gulf between an Arsenal v Chelsea game and a Brighton v Bournemouth game. You'll get good games watching the top half dozen teams in England, but most of the teams below that would put you to sleep. Their main aim is to stay in the EPL, which is why guys like Tony Pullis keep getting hired. |

It's the body language, same with Armstrong for a spell, they just look like they'd rather be elsewhere sometimes. I'm not saying he wasn't trying, but it's liked his heads dropped in a few games recently. Obviously it's frustrating for a striker when no ones making chances for him. If anything he was trying too hard to score at Tynecastle, which ruined his normal game and wasted 4 good opportunities for us to score. |

He was busting a gut in the first half. Running all over the field. Dropping deep and trying to get involved with play. There was also one moment in the second half that he chased the ball down. I agree that he doesn't look disinterested. |

In the interests of fairness, that Tosun deal that Everton are setting up according to the BBC is for 27M, but it's for a player from the back to back Turkish Champions, which is a higher level that ours. English clubs always try to downplay Scottish football when it comes to prices. I expect more than 18M when Dembele leaves, but people have to consider all the circumstances. Something in that Tosun region would probably end up being the amount we get if we do very well. |

Dembele counts as a homegrown player. THat's a big deal and will add significant value to his fee if he goes to the EPL. |

5 years of age difference between them as well and Dembele has already done the business in the Championship. He'll be able to 'settle' instantly. |

No wonder he signed for us if we agreed to that, but didn't Lawwell say this wasn't the case? |

Lawwell did say something on structure of deal But would explain a lot I wouldn't expect it would be as bare as this otherwise we are exposed to him going for low number and he's got no or little incentive to keep trying Pl wouldn't do a deal on that basis but I could understand a deal at a big % going to moussa especially if structured right |

I was shocked when we signed him after seeing him linked with the likes of Spurs and Arsenal for the previous two years. Like Ruben Neves to Wolves, there always seemed something a bit odd about one of Europe’s top young strikers coming to Scotland. As much as he said all the right things about wanting to play first team football, etc, the obvious answer for him being here was always that he and/or his agent would ultimately make a financial killing - which is absolutely fine. What’s becoming increasingly apparent though is that it’s unlikely he’ll go straight from Celtic to one of the elite clubs. Instead it looks like he’ll need to settle for the Van Dijk/Wanyama route and join a lower half EPL team first, which I’m pretty certain he believed he could avoid. |

Lawwell told The Times: “Moussa was a straightforward transfer to us,” he told The Times. “I obviously cannot go into the details of our arrangement with the player, or what we paid for him to Fulham, but it was a standard transfer. “There is no cap in terms of what we might eventually get for him. There is no mechanism there to cap it. If we get £100 million for him, we get £100 million. “What we did was we paid the compensation due. We paid the agent, as you normally do, and we’ve got a contract of employment with the player. That’s it. “So if anyone offers money for Dembele, subject to the employment contract, there will be no cap.” Edited by Ste, 4 Jan 2018, 11:22 PM.

Brendan is really very good at selling the Club & ethos to young players. He's also very realistic if & when they develop to a stage of moving on - either to bigger or not so bigger things...Henderson & Dembele as examples. |
