Hi Ed,

In light of the Dembele transfer rumours is it likely that if Everton were to put a bid in, James McCarthy would be used as part of the deal?

{Ed025's Note - that is certainly an option monty as celtic are very interested in james so why not..

Call me sceptical but I feel the price being quoted for a player who has only played at Championship level with Fulham and then Sunday league level at Celtic is quite high.
It could be a very expensive gamble with no real chance of recouping your outlay back.

Don't forget he scored in the champions Sunday League.
Bluegray go to YouTube watch his goals.
I'm hoping for this deal gets done. I'm hoping we can part exchange some of players with it ie Niasse, McCarthy, McGeady, Besic. I just hope it's not at the expense of we have to sell Lukaku to buy him.

Honestly part of me would still be gutted for jay Mac to go but if it was as part of a deal like this, it would make sense.

All due respect Mowfee YouTube makes Niasse look worth the 13mill we paid for him and we all know he ain't worth that, not having that after 1 season in a poor Scottish league he is worth in excess of 30mill.

Bluegray totally understand where you are coming from there. The top post with the video in the banter section I actually posted last night. Delay in the system lol. But I mentioned about youtube making people look great and that goals are goals. That's it. They are either poachers goals, tap in's or candidates for goal of the season. Watch the video I posted and make what you will of them. I for one think they were all pretty darn classy. But of course you are absolutely bang on if he turns out to be a complete flop then that is a lot of money wasted. But can't you say that with any player?
I for one hopes this deal happens anyway. Not because we sold Lukaku and we need another striker. My big concern is both Lukaku and Dembele are the main solo artists upfront with assistance from the wings and number 10. Could they play upfront together or would one of them cancel other out and that would be a disaster.

Fair point Mowfee but Lukaku is a goner so Dembele would be a replacement I would think, as I said I'm being sceptical in valuation based on experience but then suppose Mbappe is the same with his price being quoted for relevant inexperience.
