I can't find that article but if it's referring to Celtic, aren't they a Scottish club?

Tough to judge, but then Virgil made the jump so much.
This type of thinking makes me angry.

Football transfers are not about buying sure things. This is especially true for centre forwards.

The only teams who can buy guaranteed goals are the top teams and even then it can go very wrong, see Vincent Janssen.

You need to buy potential. Either kids like Moussa or older players not fulfilling their talent.

Would we have bought Wright or AJ based on their records?

I read that Spurs had agreed a fee of £5/6m, so that was the most we would have paid. Spurs finished third that season with Kane and Alli making a breakthrough so presumably Spurs decided they could look at more expensive options.

We signed Adebayor in the January window and then bought Benteke in the summer.

Although the fee being touted here (£18m) is higher then the fee Spurs paid for Janssen. Every transfer is a gamble. Strikers from Peterborough look good because they are set up to attack and score goals. Defenders at Burnley look good because they are set up to defend solidly. When put into a team that plays a different way they will look different.

The trouble with Scottish football is the quality of defender and goalkeeper he is having to beat is poor. He scored a 1st minute goal against PSG in a humbling but it was his only goal in Europe. He would be a big gamble for the money he is likely to cost. Scott Sinclair is their top scorer and we have seen him 1st hand.

If Spurs were convinced by him and could have had him for £5m they would have done. Like they did with Alli, who cost £5m. IF that was the case and he did not go there it is because they were not sure he could do it at PL level in the next couple of years.

Reading some reports at the time Spurs were considering better players like Berahino and Batshuayi, so who knows.

They ended up buying Vincent Janssen who is now out on loan.

These are very good points GG and the reason why we often see players struggle in teams where we think they should do better.

Add to this the leap in division (say, Peterborough to premiership club) and you can see why even what seems like a good buy at the time can have fans pulling their hair out, when things don't do as planned - 'well he was scoring for fun at {insert name of former club}'.

Its staggering to think if we are not interested or not made an enquiry at the very least in a quality young proven player, who's value will only quadruple in time if he proves himself in the premiership which he is more than capable off.
Surely if Brighton have realised the potential of a goldmine then why cant we? we are desperate for another striker if not TWO, so it should be a no brainer especially at the fee mentioned.

I would be more interested in analysing his movement and anticipation. Also can he play as lone striker, in a two or ront three.

If he has at least the 1st, then the quoted price being slightly higher than our left backs last Jan is worth the price in this crazy market.

If he only has the limited movement of a Benteke or Gayle, I suggest it's not.

Why are you so convinced? 1 in 2 in Scotland is not that amazing and Rodgers doesn’t seem that keen on him this season.

Good player, worth a punt, obviously depending on the price! Maybe we have the same scout looking at him who told warnock van dyke wasn't worth 5 million

This is is assumption at it's best Nigel. £72m as a future potential sell on if he proves himself is pure fancy at the moment, but I agree with you. Talking of other young stars Fulham have produced I prefer Ryan Sessignon, but I think he is earmarked for a top six club.

When you consider players from lower rated leagues you have to look around for clues, in the case of Scotland you need to think of the standard of the defenders that Dembele comes up against and why Rodgers is prepared to sell him?

It used to be the case that the better Scottish players could come into English football and succeed, the playing field has now changed so much that nowadays the top English league is about world footballers and you have to ask if moving to Scotland has enhanced or worked against the progress of Dembele...while he was at Fulham we had a known quantity to measure him against.

We were obviously interested in Tosun in the Turkish league where his goal scoring record is on a par with Adebayor but even at the lower transfer value Palace were involved with It was a risk.

how do you know we haven't? Pretty sure most clubs will be aware of the fee that Celtic are looking for. If we've deemed it too high then no point enquiring

are you serious? You can't see why Celtic would want to to make ~ 20m profit in a couple of months?

He was a teenager in the championship wasn’t he? And he wasn’t exactly crap, he attracted a lot of interest back then

I have not made a comment about transfer value , only about the quality of the player and the risk involved in making an approach to players in lower leagues.

Every club including Celtic want to maximise profit but you have to decide as a buyer if a player matches your criteria first.

Utter tosh.

He is being watched very closely by some of the top clubs in Europe. He is a very very good player and would be a top quality singing for us.. so much so it won’t happen
