Bill 13,717 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 They're gambling on making the CL group stage again. In fact it's probably a necessity like never before. However, the £9m is most likely spread in instalments over 3 years or so and the debt can be cleared at any time by selling him on.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but you're entering the murky world of accountants here. PSG can book all £9m as income now. Any instalment arrangement will only affect cashflow. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not many clubs in world football, who will pay a huge increase on £9million on a player who is playing against the likes of Dundee and Livingston (no offence intended) week in week out, regardless of how good he looks. If he performs in Champions League thats a different story, however, so far, Celtic haven't exactly given their strikers much of a chance in the Champions League under Rodgers...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proof is in the pudding and we'll see how much Dembele eventually goes for. The CL shop window is important to them and is part of a strategy that is getting to be ever more reliant on CL qualification.....but as you infer, just how good a shop window is getting slaughtered several times ? Tierney is given Messiah status in Scotland but is also part of a defence that gets serially hammered against better players. When they did a little better in Europe results wise, they sold-on some players that went on to well in England but under Rodgers that hasn't yet happened. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
