Divock Origi? Potential Dembele replacement?
29 Aug 2018 21:36:27
Celtic said no to that offer.
29 Aug 2018 23:45:23
Liverpool wanted 27 million from Dortmund so I doubt he is a realistic target.
Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

Ed 007 there is a rumour floating about saying dembeles got a 25 million release clause in his contract and it's been activated.
You heard anything like that?
{Ed007's Note - First I've heard of it, Kev.}
29 Aug 2018 21:18:22
3 different people have mentioned it on my Facebook page but probably Twitter pish.
29 Aug 2018 22:33:55
ED if Dembele does go Lyons way I think there may be potential that’s Reo Griffiths comes our way on loan as part of the deal? We previously showed interest in him. I don’t envy Moussa for wanting to move on as Lyon will give him the platform to take himself further, playing alongside much higher quality players. Sadly our board won’t allow progress to that level.
29 Aug 2018 19:43:54
Clyde 1 just reporting news out of France dembele to Lyon for 22 million pounds.
29 Aug 2018 19:57:10
Dembele house up to rent, he’s off, maybe get in touch with Hibs and unsettle Efe.
29 Aug 2018 20:42:01
Unsettle Effe because we sell Dembelle? What are we going to play him upfront?
29 Aug 2018 20:50:09
Fs johnbhoy 😂 Wooosh.
29 Aug 2018 21:11:15
That’s the sort of level Celtic are going for at the moment, rather than some quality, full back, centre back and now centre forward, plenty of quality out there, Efe would run through a brick wall for the club anyhow.
29 Aug 2018 22:35:07
Big dion dublin made a cracking centre back sure efe can step up with Rodgers talents at developing players.
29 Aug 2018 23:47:18
At least big Efe will have a decent goal celebration playing up front every week.
29 Aug 2018 18:55:33
Seems Man City midfielder Luiz has agreed a loan to Fernebache.
29 Aug 2018 19:43:03
We are crap at getting deals done.
29 Aug 2018 20:38:27
Exactly WC. I don't know if it's arrogance or incompetence or a mixture of the two but our transfer dealings are a total embarrassment every year. HH.
29 Aug 2018 21:28:08
I would lean toward the incompetence although once they signed Edouarde, there would have been a lot of smug back patting.
29 Aug 2018 23:51:06
Was we really after Luiz like pushing for a deal to be done? Just seems City was using us as a possible avenue of getting an easy work permit for Luiz. I'd much rather a permanent deal for Chirivella than a loan for Luiz. Can see that being a possibility as well as John Terry and maybe Benkovic and Solanke on loan too.
{Ed007's Note - How about this for a window before I go to bed...
John Terry on a free, Gary Cahill on loan with Chirivella and Nick Powell both bought?
And I've hacked Rich T's webcam....
30 Aug 2018 00:26:53
Id take that . its better than were getting at the moment . cahill would be a nice wee dream to wake upto . are us bhoys allowed to dream these days
Hail Hail.

That's no going to happen is it?
29 Aug 2018 17:13:15
Some reports unsurprisingly saying Aberdeen in for Christie. I hope we tell McInnes 2 million plus McKenna or get to.
29 Aug 2018 18:44:41
Wouldn't do business with them or hibs again.
29 Aug 2018 19:07:22
Good thing you’re not in charge then Mally.
29 Aug 2018 19:19:41
Don’t see what Aberdeen done wrong but wouldn’t deal with hibs ever again.
29 Aug 2018 19:50:20
Well since mcginn and McKenna that's all av heard on here.
29 Aug 2018 22:19:22
It's fair enough that Aberdeen are holding out on McKenna. But Celtic need to make sure they get full value for christie and only sell him to them no loan.
29 Aug 2018 15:49:42
Lyon president says they are in talks with Celtic over MD they say the player is interested but Celtic are tricky negotiators.
29 Aug 2018 15:21:41
Lyon are in talks with Celtic about Dembele, on sly news now.
{Ed007's Note - Lyon and Schalke have both now shown interest in signing Dembele.}
29 Aug 2018 15:33:48
At least if he's going to go there will hopefully be some serious cash thrown at us. It's up to the club to reinvest it properly.
29 Aug 2018 16:02:08
Yes with about 3 hours to spend it.
29 Aug 2018 15:39:59
Well if he is going let’s gwt a bidding war started then 👍.
29 Aug 2018 15:40:43
If he is to leave, as is looking very likely, what do you think the transfer fee will be? I have to say I'd be gutted to see him go this week.
{Ed007's Note - I think that'll depend on if there's a player coming in as part of the deal, if not reports are it'll cost between 15 - 20 million Euros to buy Dembele and I'm certain that Lawwell will be looking to add clauses.}
29 Aug 2018 16:12:41
They will get 20 million or something for him and get Shane long on a season long loan.
29 Aug 2018 16:27:15
If we don’t sign 4-5 players after getting that 15-20 million then I give up. Starting to hate Lawwell with a vengeance. He makes my blood boil.
29 Aug 2018 16:30:31
It sickens me that we'll sell that kind of player for £15-20m. Don't get me wrong it's a lot of money but when you see the 'talent' that goes for far more down south just doesn't sit right.
29 Aug 2018 16:45:07
Lyon got nearly €50m for lacazette I think.
€15-20m is a bit disappointing to be honest considering we turned down £9m for Boyata.
29 Aug 2018 16:56:46
That’s less than what Leciester paid for James Maddison. Remember the boy who was average at Aberdeen.
29 Aug 2018 18:04:31
Maybe we might see about getting Solanke in on loan? We was after him before he went to Liverpool and hasn't had much of a look in. At least he's versatile too and can play in various positions I'd prefer him to Long and I think Liverpool are open to loaning him.
29 Aug 2018 18:45:05
Don't think we will be loaning anyone from Liverpool because they put MUST PLAY clauses I the contracts.
If they don't play it costs a fortune.
{Ed007's Note - That was only in the Grujic deal to Cardiff City. Obviously Liverpool would prefer all clubs to play their players but not many deals involve that kind of clause.}
29 Aug 2018 19:26:36
The done it to Bristol city when the boy Kent was there and supposedly the 2 at rangers and the boy Woodward at Sheffield as well ed.
{Ed007's Note - I'm only going with what Ed001 told me.}
29 Aug 2018 19:31:45
Apparently Marseille tried to offer Clinton N'jie plus £xxxx for Dembele, Lawwell said no. HH.
29 Aug 2018 19:43:10
According to reports Bristol had to pay between 300 thousand and 500 thousand.
{Ed001's Note - they paid a loan fee, that's all.}
29 Aug 2018 19:51:23
Dembele house is up to rent, must be moving somewhere.
30 Aug 2018 07:54:56
I think solanke would certainly get plenty of game time anyway here if he'd the moussa replacement.
It'd be a nice GIRFUY to a few into the bargain too.
Liverpool actually have a ton of stockpiled CFs I'd take, sturridge, origi not bad options too.
{Ed001's Note - Liverpool are looking to get one off the books. Preferably Origi permanently, but Solanke on loan is a possibility.}
29 Aug 2018 13:45:54
According to sportssound, Rodgers said that Dembele and his representatives met with the club to discuss his future, but no official bids have came in yet.
29 Aug 2018 13:53:00
Seen that is there any good news jeez.
29 Aug 2018 13:53:15
Good Afternoon guys!
First time poster, enjoy reading the rumours, keep up the good work.
I know it is a long shot however I think the use of the word ‘Champion’ in Toure’s agents twitter post may be a hint at his likely destination. None of the teams mentioned so far are champions, other than Celtic. Whilst I realise it would take a significant drop in wages for him to come to Celtic, I think there may be something in it.
Or i’m over thinking the post and talking complete garbage 😂🤣.
29 Aug 2018 14:27:22
They’re in talks with the club about signing a 4 year extension.
{Ed007's Note - 🤞
29 Aug 2018 14:35:24
Shadow I'm sure his agent also said that any club wouldn't be taking a gamble cos if they weren't happy with his performances he would pay back half his wages. Doesn't sound like he's takin a pay cut to me.
29 Aug 2018 19:18:11
shadow was thinking same mate, brother here, just became british citizen and game time at 35 not going to be mainstay of any those teams mentioned but would here hail hail.
29 Aug 2018 11:52:32
Dembele missed training.
29 Aug 2018 12:14:34
Probably injured again.
29 Aug 2018 13:10:49
He’s off home.
Too much of a coincidence and he probably wants to move.
29 Aug 2018 13:29:38
That was said last transfer window when he was down in London.
29 Aug 2018 17:14:55
But this window we have confirmed interest and talks.
