Moussa Dembele is going to be world class he really is the boy has everything going for him, That's why a lot of big clubs were interested in him. BR was spot on when he said that we should be thankful that he wanted to come to Celtic too develop as a player.

I agree mate, he's class the noo n he's only 20!

I have always said he reminds me of Larsson and can be that close for us in this Era. Can be a legnd, However don't see him staying that long. Be lucky to have him for 3 yrs, clubs will come calling soon.
It's hard to say anyone is like Larsson, but there is a special look to him that can be as close to world class we have had since Henrik.

He is still a bit raw and has lots to learn but there is no denying that the boy has massive potential and if he fulfills that potential should end up at one of the top teams in Europe.
The thing I like most about him is he is not motivated by money and has a deep desire to be the best he possibly can, which is why he choose to come to a team where he would play more often than not, rather than go and warm the bench of one of the top teams in England. Would love it if he signs an extension at the end of the season as it would be a shame to only have him for 2-3 seasons.

I work for a London based company and was down there when Dembelle signed for us. One of the guys who is an Arsenal fan with Celtic leanings and is very football savvy said he was stunned we managed to sign him and (quote) we'd sell him for £30m. To be honest at first after watching him I couldn't see it but as you guys have said it's becoming apparent that the boy is a special takent. Zinadene Zidanne isn't keeping any eye on him for nothing. But a long way to go yet before comparing him to the Magnificant 7 ðŸ€.

Larsson Transcends everyone for more than just his football ability.
his price, humility, honesty, loyalty, integrity, I could go on and on.
If Moussa/ Lawell is offered £12m to sunderland at Christmas - and he knocks it back because "he has a job to do here" then that would be the start on the road to a comparison to Larsson.
{Ed007's Note - Integrity, don't make me laugh. Larsson told Celtic he was going back to Sweden to wind down his career when his contract expired, a contract that stated he was due a £1 million loyalty bonus if he seen out his deal.
Not only did he then allow the Club to use gullible fans to get raise the bonus money through a pathetic benefit game for him, he then went on to join Barca on a free knowing if the Club had known that was his plan he would have been sold whilst he had a year left on his deal and with no bonus.}

What would he need to do for someone to offer £30m, just can't see an offer that high for a player playing in scotland. None of the top leagues rate our game at all. A know it wasn't you that said it but that's a crazy figure to pluck from thin air.

think he planned to go home - and did - granted via man u and barca
I personally thought he'd done enough for the club.
Also then if Barcelona rumours came calling for you Ed - youd be polishing up your Spanish.
I remember his 2 assists in the CL final - the guy is class.
{Ed007's Note - He went back to Sweden and joined Helsingborgs before he joined Man Utd on loan. And btw, there isn't enough money in the world that would make me sign for that despicable shower of $hite.}

Well said Ed I always hear folk coming out with the nonsense, well u wouldn't knock that kind of money back, well there are some of us who would or they try n use a job where u get offered more money you would always take it, big difference from playing football for a living with the club u support n love to having to do a dead end job to make ends meet.
As for Henrik, love the guy 2 bits but he did use us at the end and as for Barcelona n the rest of the so called big boys, I couldn't give a crap about them, Celtic first Celtic last Celtic overall.
Hail hail.
Bring on man shitty.
