I think Moussa is smart enough to know that he is better staying with us for at least a couple of years before moving on. Even Zidane has told him to stay here and develop so hopefully he listens. The only way he's going this window or in the summer is if we get an absolutely ridiculous bid.

 

The Insider. No wonder why most clubs reject their bids for STs past few years. Giving a platform to * like that on their club website ...

 

No way is he leaving us within two years even if a big club comes in with a big offer. He knows for sure he football is already developing at a much faster rate than it would down south.

Think of it this way, Brendan doesn't suffer players making mistakes two games in a row and we never see them again. Imagine that happening to Moussa down there. His development would be stalled and he'd have no chance of CL first team football.

He knows he's young and he's probably seen a lot of young prodigiuous talent in the top4 leagues only for them not to fulfull their potential because it's high stakes games and they get left on the bench or even worse get sold for a loss to a much lower team who he could have joined in the first team, but most importantly a team who will never have a chance of reaching European football.

He said it himself, he is young and he wants to learn how to play the game to the highest of his ability before he goes searching for money. That is a guy with his head screwed on.

It would take a huge offer for him to think about a move £30+ and even then it would have to be a European potential team who doesn't have 3 strikers already established in front of him.

Here he gets to fight for No.1 spot which he's doing very well but mainly he's proving he can score in big games and a range of different goals, also his ability off the ball is excellent and when controlling it to bring other players into the game is brilliant. Just for example his hold up play at the corner flat was excellent when he knew we needed the points. A more immature player might have kept going for goal and losing the ball in a dangerous area.

Shows to me he's a very smart character who's got his head screwed on and I would be very surprised if he didn't stay he two year. He's seen the other players who stayed here two years and how successful they are now. This is a great league for good players to become very good players if their mindsight is right and they have a brilliant coaching staff and manager who believe in him.

No doubt in my mind he'll be offered £20m this window. I just hope he knocks it back and doesn't have a buy out clause because the wages he'll be offered must be very hard to turn down. But I think he wants to play football first then wages second. And he believes in himself so much he's willing to learn the trade here in a lesser league with offers a higher league at the same time.

 

He might fancy a European crack at getting knocked out of the Europa qualifiers by Astra to be fair..

 

Tell them to double it.

 

Aye. Noticed that. Weird how he gets to put articles on their official site

 

Wouldn't sell him but 20 mil is a lot of * money,should try and keep him until next summer at least,also should break the wage structure for him,try and fend off lower Premiership sides.

 

Not surprised, the owners son leaks half their transfer dealings on Twitter

And then we'll think about it

 

They can have Ciftci

 

Aye, take Ciftci

 

Payets over rated and your new stadium is soulless


For anyone of them watching

 

Sadly after doing 8 deals today they ave all fallen through in the at 2 hours Someone ban him from talking about the club via Twitter, only making a fool of himself. That is bad business though, 8 deals and all fallen through in the last 2 hours? Sounds like he was involved in negotiations.

Thought it was a golden rule never for club to officially mention a deal until the contract was signed. Lot of crafty agents out there negotiating behind the scenes till the last minute to see if they get a better offer.

 

It worries me that we have received a first bid of £20 mil,this may start a price war between clubs.
Rodgers has already said he is going nowhere but it we get offered silly money then it may be too good to refuse.

 

£30 million and it would start to get tempting. I just worry that we could pump even 2/3 of that fee back in to the playing staff on a couple of players of real quality but would they turn out to be so vital for us in the big games? I mean, Dembele is a big game player, they are hard to find, especially in Scotland being able to jump between playing dross week in week out and the likes of Man City. It's not easy, no matter how much you are worth or who you are.

 

Say No to West Ham

 

PL will be slavering at the prospect..

Wee Leigh might be as well!
