If there's a good offer on the table we should take it! Can only see him fading as the season goes on!

We need to freshen things up in January... which is never easy - but we need at least a new CM that is able to step in right away.

I want to keep Dembele as long as there is no new CM

Talksport’s inside man at Beijing Guoan is doing a bang up job. Very specific on the wages there. You couldn’t make it up.

Dembele is great as one of two options : a cm for the first half only, or as an impact sub. He hasn't got the legs for more than one half of a high tempo game.

Whatever happens I don't expect him to be here next season anyway. For the sake of 8-10m and what he could still offer as a bit-part player, I hope he stays until summer when we can replace him, hopefully!

There is no offer. The article is on about him signing a pre-contract to leave on a free next summer.

There's a bit right at the bottom too:

Guoan – currently top of the Chinese Super League – could land Dembele before the end of the season too.

They are keen to have him in January and are said to be ready to offer Tottenham between £8million and £10m to get him released early from his contract.

Unfortunately he won't be going anywhere
if he plays like that again.
I think his future is
well and truly behind him.
Hate away.

I'm sorry, are you saying his Performance against Watford was so bad that the Chinese league won't buy him?
Uh really?

As for the rest, I said during the summer that CM was our top priority and unfortunately for reasons, it wasn't addressed. And here we are. We will struggle to compete for the title based on this, though I think we have enough for top 4.

Dembele can leave in January, think he has been Quality, but past his best for a title chjallenging Team. BUT... we Need a new CM desperately.

If we can get 10 million and he can get 192 thousand a week
then good luck to him.
I take your point but strictly speaking
on Sunday's performance he's worth nowhere near that
to anybody even the Chinese.
Still if they have a yen for him fine.
