Dembele wants out of Celtic, newspapers reporting we're interested

[Blue Valkyrie]

On the other hand, if he thinks he should be getting Champions' League football, and then has to come to a little club like Brighton that is beneath him, he might sulk and f**k up the team spirit. Three weeks ago, I'd have been keen on him coming; not now.

Yes, must admit he's not my preferred choice but you never know.

His big plus compared to other linked strikers is that he counts as under 21.

And is a HGP for next season when he has to be named. Surprised he hasn’t been linked with Chelsea as they seem to be after every HGP striker going.

 

[GreersElbow]

If we had two pacy strikers, making intelligent runs and pulling defences around, it would be much easier for our midfield and wingers to provide the service that we need.

Propper's passing range should equal the striker's ability too. We'd unlock a new Propper, it'd be proper good.

Left back form Bristol City we have been linked with.

He is a ‘goal scoring’ left back so I was sold. We don’t really need him though [emoji6]

Don't worry - that won't be a concern for us next season.

The season after then. I'm trying to keep the faith and refuse to give in to relegation talk.

At the moment we need a "'goal scoring'" anything ....

Not in the Celtic side tonight? injured?

On the bench but not been brought on.

Moussa Dembele remains "fully committed" to Celtic and the club have no intention to sell the striker, says manager Brendan Rodgers.

The 21-year-old has been an unused substitute for the past two games, with Rodgers admitting that he had been affected by transfer speculation.

"We have had one official bid for him that is nowhere near the value of what the value of Moussa is," said Rodgers.

"But equal to that we have no interest in selling him."

Us or Palace seems to be the rumour.

Scottish Sun claiming an 'exclusive' reporting that we bid £12 million for Dembele before we purchased Locadia.

Sky Sports were reporting, on Xmas day that Cetic had accepted our bid. They then changed the story to ‘interested in’.

 

[Hugo Rune]

In all honesty, a £12m opening bid for Dembele equates to the £7m for Mitrovic. Both bids will need to go up by at least £5m by the 31st to get our men although we probably want just one unless Hemed AND Baldock are off!

Dembele would be my preference (vs AM), but sounds like we won't pay what Celtic are asking...

I agree.

 

[Hugo Rune]

On the bench today yet again. Let’s hope that his heart is at the Riverside this afternoon.

 

[Perkino]

£20m is probably what it will take

 

[Hugo Rune]

He’s probably off to the biggest club in Europe now!

His brinkmanship has paid off big time!

£12M for a L1 striker still seems mental to me.

 

[symyjym]

So he probably wasn't our main target at that price and was only a diversion tactic.
