    Theres something more to this than just a player huff brendan is indeed stopping the sales of moussa and boyatta but he has no backing of the board to get funds to replace them he probably does gave targets that the board wont pay the money for

    Definitely his agent running his mouth on Twitter, wouldn't read too much into it.

    Is in the agents interest to transfer the player every few years so he gets the big fees.

    Of course he wants to leave or he would have played last night then be gearing up for Sunday, and that’s before you get to the twitter * and him agreeing terms with Lyon already.

    Surely the agent wouldn’t risk upsetting the main player he represents by saying something that Dembele isn’t thinking?

    We all know Moussa was interested in that opportunity tbh. Back in his home land as the main striker at one of the biggest clubs, doubling his wage, and more of a chance of making the France squad.

    Regardless, we have every right to reject a bid that doesn’t suit us.

    Cant wait to see the back of this window, hopefully everyone in power takes note, this is what happens when you become complacent.

    I’ve never wanted an international break more than the next two weeks, think everyone needs a * breather from Celtic after this summer.

    We're all surmising Brendan is to blame here? We don't know what's going on here but I will tell you this I would believe Brendan Rodgers before the likes of Dembele who has, in my eyes, conclusively shown his true colours to be treacherous towards our club, manager and wait for it coming down the pike.....our fans. He's shown real disrespect here and I could never view him with the same regard. No doubt his agent is behind this and looking for a big fee when he does go. Players are like cash cows.

    Brendan likely feels betrayed like he hasn't got enough to deal with in the penny pinching board. Just one more season to try and kick on is all Brendan needed. Probably hoped to add a few good, reasonably affordable signings. We all know he's made a few mistakes all managers do but attitudes towards a man who has given us so much is shocking. Celtic fans responding to that idiot on twitter need to look at themselves. He's playing the poor me sympathy card and lapping up the attention. One more stick for SMSM to batter our club over the head with on the eve of a big game against them!

    Wish our players would just shut the * up sometimes. Seems very clear that Celtic trying to make sure we get the going rate.
    18m euro just isn't enough for a french, 22 year old. Proven striker with bags of talent. Case and point; we just paid 9m for an unproven 19 year old with precious little game time.

    They should do more than take notice, there should be an inquest and there should be individuals relieved of their positions.

    The handling of multiple situations in this window has been nothing short of shambolic. The board has been found wanting in a few transfer windows now.

    If Moussa thinks that a couple of wee guys looking for retweets represent the Celtic fans when supposedly backing him over Celtic or Rodgers then he’s mistaken.

    He’ll go and we’ll get someone else in and he’ll be a distant memory. I really couldn’t GAF about him in the grand scheme of things so all I want is us bringing in as much cash as possible. These subtle digs on Twitter make him look every bit if not more of a * than his pal Boyata.

    If he wants to go, let him go. We need players that want to pull on the hoops. I love the big guy but what has happened in the last 48 hours seems like his fate is sealed.
    On another note, this lyon * of a chairman should be done for tapping up a player by uefa surely. When did it become legal to approach a player before a fee was agreed with the club.

    Would he have played last night if Celtic wanted to move him on?

    He may well want to move on, but you’re kidding yourself if there aren’t people at Celtic actively trying to punt him this summer to maximise income.

    If there’s debate between player and club it will be about destination rather than go or stay.

    Also, the fact he’s agreed terms with Lyon before a price hardly reeks of a club desperate to keep the player. You would do that if you were desperate to punt the player. If you wanted to keep him you would force them to match your price first ..

    Even if we manage tae hold on to him, all this * will just come up again in Jan and then next summer if he's still here, better to try and punt get someone in who has the appetite to play for us, and end this ridiculous farce of a situation !

    This twitter stuff is madness. His most recent post almost directly calls Rodgers a fraud. And the posts which he has been "liking" on twitter essentially support that. He surely won't be selected by Brendan after those public posts. We need to just sell Moussa today, re-invest and move on. It would appear that verbal agreements of some sorts have been broken.

    It's possible if you have a plan for contingencies. You can look at Lyon as an example who have targets in mind instantly. it's a joke we cannot have similar.
