The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Hectic]

And surely Dembele wants to win a League medal too. Plenty of good players finish their careers winning nothing.

The glory of it .

Lol

The expectation to win nearly every game you play under the gaze of 60k supporters and learning to deal with that can only be learned at a handful of clubs.

Listen if someone comes waving a £20m cheque at Lawwell and Co for any Celtic player their hand will be taken off,just like Mc Geady was bundled on the first plane to Moscow when Spartak Moscow came with a £10m cheque

Off loading that geriatric Peter Pan was great business.  He's got steadily worse every season since he left.

[bennydorano]

What's the rush to sell? The most sensible approach imo would be to retain him for CL qualification, qualify or not he could be sold then (& I certainly hope he stays).

[T Fearon]

Seriously if someone tabled a firm £20m offer for any Celtic player his arm would be snapped off immediately.

[lynchbhoy]

Not right now. the money earned this year by Rodgers in getting Celtic to CL and the extra revenue means Celtic are ahead of where they were the past few years.
so they are in no rush to sell.
this time next year might be different and a bid of 25+ million of your pounds sterling would be a good opening bid at the auction.
I think he's good but he's no larsson lubo Sutton or BBJ.

so id def happily sell him then.

mcgeady also had to go as he was not happy playing wide and celtic had better central options.

Here Tony i've a question for ya...do u reckon if another team tabled an offer of £20 million for Dembele Celtic would sell him?

Mcgeady was sold because he was a  2 or 3 million player and we got offered 10 million. Dembele is at least a 20 million stiker and in another year he will still be worth at least that or likely a good bit more because he is an all round striker, he's strong, powerful, can hold the ball up and he's a very good finisher. If we got offered 50 or 60 million now we might consider it but that'd be the only way he'd be sold this month.

[T Fearon]

Illdecide,if anyone offered Celtic £20m for any player, he would be sold in a moment.And why not? The team could be considerable strengthened,with at least 3 capable players for £20m and Dembele is unproven in England.There will be no panic buying by any top English clubs in the summer so if £20m is offered for Dembele tomorrow, I'd grab it and quickly!

[Hectic]

Watched Jaansen struggle again today for Spurs. English clubs have no bother throwing 20m at an unproven punt it seems.

[illdecide]

Every player has his price and i would def sell any player if we got the right money for them...sure they could break their leg or do a cruciate the next day and you're screwed...but i def believe them English clubs are stupid enough to pay well over the odds for a player as they have just too much money at their disposal.

[Applesisapples]

Tony is right, unfortunately. If Celtic have any European ambitions though that mindset would need to change. Unlikely though.

[T Fearon]

Fact is Celtic could not turn down £20m.Brilliant bit of business for a guy unproven at the very top level,a huge profit.I would rather have £20m to strengthen the team than Dembele to be honest.

Sure it has been said that the continental clubs have been laughing at the EPL clubs since the Sky money arrived in terms of what they will actually pay for a player. Soon as an English club are in for a player the price ends up ridiculous.
