Looks like Aston Villa are preparing a bid for Edouard.

Standard structure for the reported £30 million deal. "Up front" offer of £25 million, with £2.5 million paid now and the rest of the £22.5 million paid over the 5-year contract being discussed. The other £5 million is made up of clauses and other payments. It's normal: Lyon are still paying for Dembélé!

"Up front" simply means that part of a fee not subject to clauses and isn't one lump sum, as in computer footie management games.

Villa are aware of the personal terms wanted by Edouard. That's being handled by the agent, so no illegal approach problems. Edouard wants a move to the EPL but Villa aren't his first choice.

I am assuming Celtic will want to add another £5 million to the deal but can't confirm that.

Celtic aren't in discussion with villa.

There's always complexities with these types of deals and I expect the main benefit to Celtic in selling to a club Villa's size will be the sell on percentage.

The amount of money that comes in at the moment however isn't really important if there is not a plan in place to use it to improve the team.

I can't really figure out who the club could sign to make the team better without him in it so it would be a massive blow to lose him in such an important season.

Honest mistake

You make a good point BUT it is a risk for eddy going there

He could go backwards with few chances, few goals and playing with a team on the back foot

If he does go to EPL, noting no interest from man utd spurs or chelsea or man city, it'll be to an arsenal or leocester with Everton a possibility also

I think he will go to France or Italy but keep an eye on leicester and Everton.

Apart from the money surely he's better than villa ad have thought a top y or 7 club at the very least . but not till next year.

I don't see eddy going anywhere that he can't play European football, He comes alive in Europe.

I’m sure the only way Celtic would let both Dembele and KT go,
Was if the transfer money was paid in one full payment.


7.) 24 Aug 2020 13:03:32
I thought the same Buzz was sure it was only if it was paid up front first.

who is this fatdave. were are you getting this from fatdave.

I think it's a good possibility if we are looking to or bring in another striker that Eddy is being sold or has another club to go to I hope not but who knows.

£15 million is about for a player nearing the end of his contract and who wants out.

The £15 million will be £10 million and £5 million in clauses so Leicester (or another) would pay £1 million and £9 million over 5 years, assuming he signs a 5-year contract.

That means any pay-on clause of 40% (and I have seen figures suggesting 25% also) would be 40% of any profit based on the £10 million up front (doesn’t mean one lump sum, simply that part of the fee not subject to clauses) .

Ed007 thanks for an uneducated reply. Instead of whining, why not point out what you think is erroneous. Please don't start by saying transfers are not constructed the way I explain because you would just be plain wrong and you would look foolish.

Next: look at all the evidence. Someone had made an enquiry for Dembele and WHFC look like credible contenders.

Provide some thought behind your dismissive approach

{Ed007's Note - West Ham did not bid for Dembele, that's all I need to know and I didn't whine, I said you were talking bollocks.
'£2 million now and £13 million over 5 years and the rest in the clauses' - that's just garbage that you've made up to try and make it look like you know what you're talking about which you obviously don't. If I can help it I won't have the posters on here taken in by dubious stories from the press or other posters.}

There has been no "official bid" from West Ham, according to Celtic but note the use of the word "official". West Ham inquired about Dembele, hence the recent press reporting. It's no secret that Dembele wants to leave Celtic for the Premier League, the issue is one of timing and cost.

Players decide transfers nowadays, certainly not the manager. You can expect Rodgers to say something on the lines of "Dembele isn't the finished article, needs more time at Celtic to develop" blah blah but in reality, if Dembele wants to leave, the club will sell.

Apparently, West Ham discussed a £20 million bid. £2 million now and £13 million over 5 years and the rest in the clauses. That's a pretty typical construct but Celtic want £30 million but again, with a similar structure.

I would expect Dembele to leave in the summer though. I think his agent would suggest that Dembele can find a bigger club than West Ham

{Ed007's Note - There is nothing even remotely true in that whole post - it's all bollocks and just stuff you've made up.}
