Jol won't let Dmepsey Dither

I wouldn't sell either for less than £15m. Where else are they going to find a midfielder that's capable of twenty goals and a midfielder capable of being the best player on the pitch in multiple positions? If Modric is worth £35m then that price tag put out by Jol is underestimating his value.

I hope we keep Dembele and have him work on his finishing. If he could put away 10 goals a season, his value skyrockets and we are in the top seven next season.

 

I think 15 million for Dempsey or Dembele is about right, and of course I hope they both stay. I dont care that Dembele doesnt score goals he does so much else and is a good fit for how Jol wants the team to play. My hope is that the only clubs rich enough to splash 15 million for a 29 yr old wont need Dempsey.

One thing I dont understand is if the player has any reason to care what the transfer fee is. Does he get any part of it or does it all go to the team. If say a smaller Champions League side wants Dempsey but they only offer 7 million, does he care about that if the wages are good enough?

 

Clint's age will keep his price tag lower than what Moussa is currently worth, but 12-15 million seems to be a reasonable figure. Would Arsenal be willing to shell that out? Is there another team out there (and assuming playing in the CL is the criteria) that would interest Clint to drive the price up? If Dembele comes back and improves on this season, and barring injury it's likely, then the 15 will turn into 25-30 million.

 

Jol, please, STFU to the media. Seriously, zip it. Zip, zip, zip...

 

Well, here he is again:
