DisposeOfDeadwood 12 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10496986/chelsea-meet-with-dembele-agent-transfer-ban-ends/ Met with Demebele's agent, PSG and City also interested. Absolutely world class player, overshadowed by Messi but at his ripe old age of 22, he still has plenty of show. I have seen quite a few french people who actually rate him higher than Mbappe, or at least they did at one point. Doesnt even look to be too expensive of a signing, could be purchased for under 80m Link to post Share on other sites
Amputechture 2,667 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Would be pointless. He'd only manage to play a few games a season. Link to post Share on other sites
forbzy 958 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Seems to have a lot of injury issues. Good player on his day though. Link to post Share on other sites

Bit harsh to say that about someone who's only 22, might just be a blip - but at his best he is undoubtedly one of the stars in world football. Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Harris 24,403 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 No thanks. I still have nightmares about that miss against Liverpool in the Champions League last season. If he had scored, that would have been game over. He's been a flop at Barcelona, he just hasn't stepped up when they needed him to. Slojo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ozboy 666 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Would depend on the injuries and his attitude. Was fantastic at Dortmund. Stood out in a good team Link to post Share on other sites
BordeauxBlue 533 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 He's over rated in the extreme. Stay away, especially for the sort of fee Barca would want. Let him jump ship to PSG and go clubbing five times a week like the rest of their embarassments. Link to post Share on other sites
Gol15 2,107 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Before he came to Barcelona he could play with both feet equally good. He was a top talent. But in order to be good there he had to become friends with Messi. Link to post Share on other sites
Slojo 4,765 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I don't rate him at all, I would even be as disrespectful to say that he's an overpriced Theo Walcott, whenever I've watched him he looks garbage, his whole game relies on pace. Link to post Share on other sites

He's been a flop at Barcelona, he just hasn't stepped up when they needed him to. He is a flop in Barcelona due to many factors. But you can argue that it doesn't mean that he would be a flop in our team. He can still be a great winger, though for his price it's maybe better to go for Sancho. Link to post Share on other sites
Spiller86 3,309 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Top talent. Incredible actually. Still 22 and one of the few really top two footed players. The thought of CHO and Dembele terrorising defences for a decade has me drooling a bit. I still remember him against England a couple of years back just slicing the defence apart. But he has a reputation as a bit of a big time Charlie who lacks discipline. Given the Environment Frank is js trying to build I'm unsure whether that is what we want. We do have a lot of great French speakers around the club who may be able to change that. If we could and the fee was right then we might have a bit of a steal like Bayern got when they got the similarly injured and undisciplined Robben from Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites

You cant have seen him many times to refer to him as an overpriced walcott. They are both fast, but that is where it ends. Dembele is a fantastic player, Pace, trickery, vision, and the thing separates himself from the likes of walcott, he actually has tremendous end product, whether thats finishing or making killer assists. He put up better numbers at Dortmund than what sancho has so far, and sancho is on alot of fans wishlists. There are two downsides to him though, the furst is his injury record, and the second is his mentality. I would take a fit a fully focused Dembele over sancho, but its unlikely we would get that tbh.
