Dembele to Celtic

[nanocopic]

Wow big move for Celtic taking Dembele from Fulham.

[Norths]

Good signing for the league, as well as Celtic.
Very surprised to see him head up there, but expect a move back south in 2-3 years for a large fee.

£500,000 is that right??

[Hertford Hoop]

£500,000 is that right??

An absolute bargain if that is the figure, would be surprized if it is that fee

Bit of a Come down Spurs to Celtic

I'm sure I saw that yesterday somewhere.

Didn't they turn doewn £4m from Spurs because they didn't want to loan him back out? Chelsea, Arsenal etc reported interested too by all accounts. Great signing for that league.

Update;

Celtic will pay only a £500,000 development fee to Fulham for the highly-rated Dembele, who says it is "unreal" to be Brendan Rodgers' first signing.

Bizarre Jimmy why would Fulham turn down was it £6mil last season and get half mil this season. Run like us by the sounds of it

what surprises me is the lack of ambition from Dembele

He probably feels he can have a couple of years there, score a few goals, play in the champions league and get noticed by a bigger club and move on then.

52,000 season ticket holders, Champions league football, great stage for a young player.

Coming to a club like QPR would be 50 times worse in fairness.

[Ramsey is god]

For those getting confused, this is not the Tottenham and Belgium midfielder. This is the Fulham striker. Scored a fair few goals last year.

Dont make sense in my mind why they are selling for £500k. If a contract running out issue, then surely they would get more in comp as he is so young.

Think that scottish div is now worse than the championship, so yes he gets to pi$$ a league and get to the qualifying stages of champions league, but really is a step down in my mind.

Probably feels he wants to play football rather than become another Spurs nowhere kid

He's out of contract, hence the development fee but agree that Fulham were silly to turn down the money last season. They took a risk that has backfired.

Gotta get through the qualifying rounds first haven't they? How longs it been since they made it into the champions league proper?

I get the impression all that have posted in here knew it is the Fulham lad. Bit hard to forget him after the home game last season.
