Pizy 18,994 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Having only seeing him on YouTube about 15 minutes ago, he looks like a fantastic young striker. Excellent technique, good pace, power, and athleticism. Can finish in a number of ways. But these are all things I saw in Batshuayi when he moved here and he can't get a sniff. Plus, the impressive highlights I'm seeing are against pub teams. Would be dumb to sign a striker now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So what happens to Michy? Also, Dembele needs game time... can't be sitting on the bench behind Costa for weeks/months on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't complain about it because some of us here still see Willian as someone to replace when the right moment arises. Dembele looks like a genuine goalscorer.

Pedro and Willian have the RF position though. This must mean a loan mover for Bats. Which I would support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dembele looks like a genuine goalscorer. yeah there's no doubting his quality, and potential for growth.. But he's only 20.. and I'd hate to see his career stalled because he was too eager to join a top side and sit on the bench. But if he can play RF a bit, then even better, but i doubt it.

BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 How this guy got to Celtic unnoticed is a wonder to me. He already was class at Fulham and he's doing very well at Celtic. Watch some videos of him in the Champions League against Manchester City. The lad's a baller. Huge talent but hey which footballer with the surname Dembélé isn't? Oh but not happening in this window. Only at Celtic for 6 months now so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll make big money when he moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just throwing this idea out there. Breaking news on Sky says that Bilic at West Ham no longer is in the race for Scott Hogan. What if there's a genuine belief this deal with Dembele could get done, and Batshuayi is heading on loan to West Ham? Might just be me getting 'transfer window fever', but we do seem to have some transfers that have a knock-on effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 i`d prefer us go for a veteran CF..somebody that can be a super sub and fill in now and then. think a young player like him could struggle with bit part role and also buying another youngster up front buries Bertrand ,Tammy and Dom.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 He is realy promising striker, but hell this would make zero sense. He is not major improvement over Bats atm and the player himself wont get a chance against in form Costa. Would be Bats all over again. And what happens with Bats then?

gadget 126 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 3 years or so ago Solanke made Dembele look like a novice in the FA Youth final. Difference is Demebele got a chance with Fulham in the championship. While Solanke seems to have fallen away for some reason not given a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
