Any news on his recovery?

Little correction: I'm German speaking and the article states that Barça has to win the triple in order for Dembélé to receive a 3,3M bonus. It is not 1,1M for each title.

Someone needs to kick RM out of CL.

Barcelona signed him just to prove him wrong. Will join the Messi hypetrain after training 6 months with Leo.

1st choice as long as Roberto is injured. :valverde:

He reminds me somehow of the young Pedro.

Because he doesn't has the legs yet to play that much. Due to his class and the way he walked into that team people tend to forget that he played in Brazil 6 months ago. European football is physically more demanding, especially when you play many games in a row vs very good teams. He runs a lot...

Don't see this happening. Guess he will be training on his own for a while until his arm has healed fully so he can make body contact with opponents again. Good to see him back on the pitch though.

Luis Suárez and a fan.

Roberto upfront in a Clásico sounds like deja vu to me. IIRC it must have been 2 or 3 years ago. Messi has been injured for some time, but was on the bench and came on when Barça was leading by 3 in the Bernaleo. Sergi did a great job in that game.

Not necessarily.

Would be hilarious if Valverde plays it safe with a 4-4-2 while Spurs are without their starter midfield.

The way he plays he may not be fit for 90min anymore. Just a guess though

Feel bad for him after all he went through to join Barcelona instead of Roma. I liked him in the few minutes he got so far.

Rejuvenated. 27 again. I knew there's something cooking when he scored a hattrick instead of a brace.

Still not sure if it was a deserved red or not, but funny to see he gets sent off in his first international game for Juve. Seems like he can't enjoy the luxury of Blanco-protection by referees. After all his dives it was about time that he gets sent off.

Reminds me of Neyney in the first MSN-season. Must have been Ney's second season too IIRC. That was prime Ney in a Barcelona kit. After that he may have become a better player individually, but as a homogenic part of a whole team he was at his best back then.

Individually, LW might be his best position. A player has to play where the team needs him most though and that is C(A)M in Barcelona. However, I'm confident he'll do great things in both positions. Somehow you can compare him to the Don in this regard. I will never forget the Clásico when Don...
