Just like any other offer thenThe Sun saying Lille will come back in with a final £18m “take it or leave it“ offer.

Needs to be done quicklyThe Sun saying Lille will come back in with a final £18m “take it or leave it“ offer.

Robertson said at NARSA (one of those big events anyway) that we were looking for the same type of money Celtic got for Dembele.We said 20 million id tell them to bolt.

What positions do you reckon mate? Centre mid and striker for sure, another centre mid or a winger?None at all I'm afraid but i would expect 3 new players in the door if Morelos leaves.
I agree with you there mate, he will be tough to replace.If it’s 18 million pounds Stirling I think we will accept . 18 million euros , no . Either way if we get in that ball park I think he will be away . And I don’t think most of us realise what we will be losing until he is gone .

I reckon they'll do the deal in Glasgow rather than Stirling.If it’s 18 million pounds Stirling I think we will accept . 18 million euros , no . Either way if we get in that ball park I think he will be away . And I don’t think most of us realise what we will be losing until he is gone .
Take it he’s no reliable then?colin duncan the journo? probs made up nonsense just for an extra wee click before bed
Don't say that, folk will start going on about Candeias again!Striker
Centre Mid who would kick anything that moves.
Right sided player who can play in the front three or as a wing back.
Not seen who wrote it mate was just sent a summary of it by a matecolin duncan the journo? probs made up nonsense just for an extra wee click before bed
none of them really but he's never broke any news thats been remotely noteworthyTake it he’s no reliable then?
We would need that easilyNone at all I'm afraid but i would expect 3 new players in the door if Morelos leaves.
And the circus goes on....none of them really but he's never broke any news thats been remotely noteworthy
Who do you think we’ll bring in ?Neither of those were Alfies replacement. I can promise you that. If he goes, we sign another - which was always the plan.
If stalling over 2 million which then knock ons to not being able to sign at least 2 of the three supposed other targets then it’s inappropriate management by the boardIf we say we want £20m and literally no-one is offering to pay that then he is not worth £20m.
A player is only worth an amount if you have a buyer willing to match that. The market dictates that.
If we do finally manage to get someone to pay £20m then fair enough but right not that is not happening.
If £18m is on the table we must take it - or risk his value plummet by the next window etc. We are in no position to turn away £18m for one of our players ffs.

Agreed. If we only have one buyer and the absolute max they will go to is £18m then the board simply have to accept that offer and conclude the deal.If stalling over 2 million which then knock ons to not being able to sign at least 2 of the three supposed other targets then it’s inappropriate management by the board

What if no-one is prepared to pay the value you put on your house? You can't just hang around forever.Eh? Thats absolutely not even close to how it works. If you value your house at £300k and the only offer you get is £200k you dont just take it and say, ahh well its only worth what someone was willing to pay.
Frankly weve spent £10M so far and none of the players have seriously impressed. We could just as easily sell Morelos and waste the money while weakening the squad.
For the record, I've no problem selling Morelos for the right price. Throwing him out the door under value just so you can sign a bloke from Preston - in the most overpriced market in football - isn't my idea of shrewd business
Depends how desperate you are to sell your house i suppose.What if no-one is prepared to pay the value you put on your house? You can't just hang around forever.
£18m is huge for us. We cannot turn that down if it is the only offer on the table.

You really think we will get more than £18m/£20m for Alfie? Also, I’m well aware the marker has moved on from 20 years ago hence why we can ask for prices like £20m for our better players.Leave it. Hes worth more to us than a crap bid like that. £18M gets you the players we signed this summer and money in the bank. A poor return for a 30+ goal a season striker. One day people will learn that the market has moved on from 20yrs ago
Need to sell the house to use the proceeds to buy additional properties. That's what we have to be looking at here.Depends how desperate you are to sell your house i suppose.
If you're happy to stay there for a while, thinking someone will want to pay the right price at some point, you don't sell under your own valuation.

He was getting nowhere near 25 goals last season in the league.
I'd take it too. I'd rather have 3 good players for the money. Morelos is exceptionally good, but that's a bit pointless if our midfield isn't strong enough to maintain a title challenge. We've scored plenty and played well without him recently.Need to sell the house to use the proceeds to buy additional properties. That's what we have to be looking at here.
No way are the club turning down £18m.
Gerrards not going to say publicly he wants him to go.The latter wasn't a dig at you mate. It was more a comment on how excited people get over these kinds of offers.
I do mate, I also think we need to stick to our values. If we think he's a £20M player, he needs to be treated like one. By that I mean, he cant just be shoved out of the door at the first offer - an asset of that calibre should be sold because someone has forced us to with an offer that can't be refused. Not sold at a discount because someone flashed a bit of cash at us.
I also reiterate an earlier point I made. Gerrard clearly doesn't want him to go. To me there is only 2 reasons for that. One is he doesnt think he can replace him, the other is he knows he won't get much of the sale money to replace him. Neither option makes me feel comfortable
Gerrards not going to say publicly he wants him to go.
You said he's guaranteed to get us 25 goals, something he's never done.Ah the good old FF tradition of arguing with someone over something they didn’t actually say.
If that happens mate the board have handed Celtic the league.Final point on this. What if Gerrard has already spent all the money he was getting for Alfie? What if the board kept the £18M? Would the ones wanting to sell him be comfortable with that? Genuine question, im not meaning to come across snide. There is a chance that the money hes spent was to be repaid at least in part, through player sales. The board are under no obligation to continue to fund transfers on season tickets alone

Your right in terms of spending but in saying that while we may not have managed to topple Celtic to any silverware yet we finally have a team capable of playing consistently well in European competition for both of Gerrard's seasons in charge so far. The cold hard facts here are that this brings in way more money than can be made from winning any of the domestic trophy's and from a business point of view the board will be delighted. Not only that it allows us to gradually build the squad to a level that gives us a better chance domestically as well.
I think if we drop out of Europe on Thursday we will accept the £18m for Morelos. If we go through we then have one more final round to play next week and are in the exact same situation again another week closer to the window
If that's our lot you kiss the title good-bye as they 3 combined won't score 30 goals this season.Current circumstances we should but with Roofe, Itten & Defoe I think that's our lot.
Think any fee will be spent on a central midfielder.
None at all I'm afraid but i would expect 3 new players in the door if Morelos leaves.
