Is Dembele good enough taking into account he plays for Celtic who are probably about top Championship standard and no better than us and all of our strikers could score in that league. The price being talked of is astronomical.

I think we'll get two strikers too.

Andone & Dembele for me.

I suspect we'll have to lose Hemed or Baldock though.
Dembele is U21 so doesn't need a squad place.

Andone would more likely replace Skalak in the 25 perhaps ? ???

We won't get both of them at around 20million each, one big money and a loan if we get 2 strikers. I think we'll only get one anyway after just giving Hemed a new contract, we're not suddenly going to make him 4th choice or get rid of him or Murray.

Ze Luis looks likely as the back up striker.
Celtic are talking £25m for Dembele who is rarely first choice at the moment, often injured/not fully fit.
Andone would be better value. Not playing & thrown his toys out of the pram at Deportivo.
Expect Skalak, Murphy & Baldock to go.

Hoping we will get a creative midfielder in

If CH is not going to play Baldock, why keep him? I think we'll be so keen to get a striker over the line, we'll end up with two.

I didn't say we should keep him. I think he'll go out on loan and we'll bring in one to replace him. Now we don't play two up top I can't see us having 4 strikers in the squad.

I can.

1. Mystery record signing.
2. Murray.
3. Hemed
4. New U21 striker - Big money, big potential but mainly U23s

Think the desire not to play two up top is purely a function of the perceived quality available in those positions. If we get two quality additions in then I expect Gross to have more of a challenge to his starting position.

Personally Babukar and Andone would do me.

They would be mid table Championship at best.

Poor league up here !Garry Dicker (like him lots) is playing as a stalwart for Kilmarnock. Says it all really.

Dealing with Celtic wont be easy either, like dealing with Zenit but with menace!

Earlier today sky sports app said Celtic have accepted an £18m bid for Dembele from Brighton and now it has gone. strange.

I'm somewhat disappointed this thread has taken a turn from it's serious and heartfelt beginnings to this frivolous nonsense.
