The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Over the Bar]

If a fee of £40m is reeled in I will be expecting a fat dividend cheque later this year!

It won't and you'll be waiting a while.

So he's not being sold then?

Great to see Celtic players being valued properly at last. Chelsea offering 40m for dembele and sunderland trying their luck with a 10m bid for Tierney.

When did Chelsea offer £40M?  Celtic saying they want £40M is not the same thing Lenny.

Thank god the transfer window is over. I hate it and the crap that comes with it

[illdecide]

A lot of speculation alright but no hard facts. Chelsea never tabled a bid for Dembele but were interested alright, Celtic valued him at £40m and if he has a good second half of the season he may well be sold for that but my feeling is Rodgers wants him for CL qualifiers. If Celtic fail to reach the group stages then I've no doubt Dembele and possibly 1 or 2 others will be shipped on for tidy sums.

[Hectic]

Ultimately if Dembele was the difference in us qualifying for the Champions League next season and not doing so then £40m would be letting him go cheap. 

But the other side is when we signed him it was supposed to be on the basis of aiding his development by playing regularly in front of big houses with the expectation to win games and playing Champions League.  Had he been shipped out after a number of months that would have changed from us offering other potential Dembeles the chance to develop at our club to being a club that will use young potential for a very quick buck. 

Essentially had Dembele gone to Chelsea or another club of that ilk he would have been right back to last summer where he was looking at playing back up and cup games with such a move.

[T Fearon]

No English club will pay £40m for a striker plying his trade in the SPL ffs.If an offer comes in later in the summer for £10m Celtic should grab the money and run.

On a happy note I invested a modest few quid back in December on Celtic to win all of their remaining 18 league games at odds of 100/1.The best odds you could get on this bet last weekend was 28/1!

[Orior]

Well, if your county team is getting bate, or your english soccer team isn't cutting the mustard, there is always the magnificent Glasgow Celtic team.

That ref tonight was a joke...Aberdeen kicked us all over the park and got feck all but every time a Celtic player done something he was blew up for it right away. The guy commenting on Celtic TV was raging with him too, said he was the most biased Ref he has seen...seems to be happening far to often...need a few Catholic neutral refs in Scotland.

plenty of truth in this but to be fair the commentators are seriously biased. Almost as bad as the lads on Northern Sound for Monaghan games. Played some good stuff tonight again. Sinclair again was the standout. Had a great chance in the nd half that came off the bar. On another note sevco really are muck. We could put 7 or 8 past them in march

[From the Bunker]

The Rangers game on 12th of March could be the Title clinching game. And the way things are going it could happen even before that.

This record will not doubt be beaten this year!

I think it will be more likely that they will have to form a guard of honour to applaud the champions onto the park.

Will they be even solvent by then ?

No sign of the 30m that their latest saviour, the Lying King, promised. They must be the most gullible fans in the world.

I agree...I think unless a mystery person comes in with major investment then Sevco are in serious trouble but who's prepared to do that when they're still losing close to half a million every month
