Phoned my Tim pal when I heard the Dembele news to see if it was really happening.
Looks like it is for a fee of about £500k, but he told me Dembele's wages are minimum £50k weekly with bonuses, so looks like Rodgers has finally smashed our wage ceiling.

50k? Quite a bit over the wage cap that.

Guys, any info as to how long the contract is for . Hope it's at least 4 years.

50k a week for a 19 year old can't see it tbh think more like 25-30 if he is indeed on big money.

19 year olds down south can make that no bother even for sitting on bench.

He was on £5k a week at Fulham and turned down a 4 year deal worth £20k a week in February.

I have watched the YouTube videos of this Young bhoy Moussa Dembele and he looks very sharp and will be a great bit of business on the field and in a finance positive in the future. The videos show not just positives which I prefer but he looks a massive positive to me. I see that someone has stated we are linked with Steven Caulker which would be better than the boy Wisdom although I hav seen much of them both in recent times. ED is there any updates on other moves that look stronger than just a rumour?

Nothing against Dembele, but can't think of any of our recent flop striking acquisitions that didn't look sensationaly good on youtube., if he wants £50,000 a week, wouldn't touch him with a bargepole.

Aindo I disagree mate I remember watching about a 5 minute clip of Amido Balde and I think he only had about 3 shots on target and only one resulted in a goal! 🙈😂.

I'd it over the line yet, apparently Chelsea circling with intent. If it's money motivated they will win hands down. He'll get on Park time at Celtic, something he can only dream of for the next couple of seasons at least if he goes to Chelsea.

{Ed007's Note - There's not much that goes on at Chelsea that Ed002 doesn't know about and she never mentioned anything about any planned move from them but as I've said, every team in the EPL seem to have had an interest to some extent in him which is a testament to how much of a coup this is if Lawwell can pull it off.}

From zero to hero if he can squeeze this one over. Would redeem himself a bit. I'd imagine orders from DD thou.

{Ed007's Note - But he's only been doing what DD and the board have been telling him all along. I'm not buying all this DD is funding all this by himself, this is the way the Club should have been being ran for years. The money was always there, just look at what we've paid for players like Balde and Bangura, Boeriggter, the list goes on and on.}

I wouldn't worry about wages. Even 100 grand a week won't be bad if you sold him for 15 mil in 2/ 3 years. Make a bit of profit infact.

He's a lad who is 18 and scored 18 in the championship which is no easy feet you habr players scoring less and going to the prem and lighting it up.

To buy him from a 3 year contract on last seasons stats is easily 10 million quid. Simples.

Just imagine though if you have pulled the next pogba move. He went on a free and 3 years later your talking 80/ 90/ 100 million.

Martial went for 36 without the stats of this lad.

I'm not even a Celtic fan but following Rodgers just from the 2nd season and this could just be an absolute blue whale out the hat.

Or it could flop on its ass and your saying bye to Brendan after 6 months and lumbered with the lad and his wages for the next 4 years.

Just to shed some different light on my post.
