Weinberg sum-rules have been used in the past to successfully predict the
electromagnetic contribution to the charged-pion mass as a function of the
meson masses. Following the same approach we calculate in the minimal composite
Higgs model (MCHM) the Higgs mass as a function of the fermionic resonance
masses. The simplicity of the method allows us to study several versions of the
MCHM and show that a Higgs with a mass around 125 GeV requires, quite
generically, fermionic resonances below the TeV, and therefore accessible at
the LHC. We also examine the couplings of the Higgs to the SM fermions and
calculate their deviation from the SM value.Comment: Version to be published in JHE
