    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Dembélé is well-liked among socios and local fans. Even the media realizes this. For instance Sport (otherwise part of the pro-Neymar propaganda) wrote an article today about what we will miss if we sold Dembélé. Every poll done also shows an overwhelming percentage of fans preferring that he...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    How many minutes had Dembélé played in that game when those 2 actions occurred (only the second is a real mistake)? 5 minutes? Speaking about passes, in the second action he made the right pass to Messi who returned the pass to him but he unfortunately completely missed to hit the ball properly...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    When you have Suárez screaming his lungs off and gesticulating like a retard at Dembélé whenever Dembélé does not pass to him or Messi immediately, it is no surprise that he can sometimes miss simple passes. I lost the count of how many times both of them ignored Dembélé who was in a more...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Dembélé has had everything against him since his move 2 years ago. Frequent and long-term injuries, age, not being part of the "club de amigos" clan, little support from that same clan, a clueless "manager" being at the "helm" of the club, no tactical system in place whatsoever other than...

    Ivan Rakitić

    My guess is that this little family trip involves Disneyland rather than a blessing from above (PSG buying him). One can pray and hope for the latter though.:lol: I certainly do.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Rumors of the club being willing to sell Umtiti if the right offer emerges. Talk about €50 million and him being off. In an ideal world we would sell Umtiti for a transfer fee similar to that number and pay those €20 million extra for de Ligt. Sounds too good to be true but Barto seems...

    Neymar Jr.

    Can you read? If the answer to that question is yes, I suggest to actually reread the post that you quoted. To make your life easier I have quoted the post that you quoted again. I don't think that this "new" version of PSG with Leonardo at the helm is willing to repeat past mistakes...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Had a 2-3 months long break due to a very hectic schedule until 1 week ago but it is easy to spot that there has been a sudden influx of trolls or outright very dumb users. It would be good if the moderators could somehow take charge and do what is necessary if this continues. Reading/ skimming...

    Basketball/NBA

    LeBron, Kawhi and Davis in the same rooster is unfair to put it mildly. Can't see any team threatening the Lakers if they stay fit, the backcourt gets strengthened and the bench (depending on the cap space left) will be strengthened as well. I am sure that some veterans and proven winners would...

    Neymar Jr.

    Nothing new about that. Last week practically every local newspaper, radio station and "renowned" journalist wrote that a deal with Barça and Neymar's entourage had been struck. Our Brazilian friends are a bit late it seems.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Those are not excuses but objective facts. Dembélé was a recently turned 20 year old kid when we bought him. With 2 seasons of professional football in him. To expect him to turn into a Messi in his prime or Ronaldinho in his prime or Eto'o at his prime (long after the same Eto'o turned 22 let...

    Euro U21

    Sad indeed but not unexpected given the developments in recent years. In any case the win yesterday was another confirmation that you are bound to win if you have a long-term sporting project, the right manager and managerial team, a patient federation/board and a large talent pool. Once you...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    None of us here have any idea about his personality and I am not sure if you are aware of it but men who have just turned 22 years old are mostly immature and not the "finished product". That should be obvious. Other than him coming late to training once or twice across 2 seasons, what exactly...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Not necessarily and everything points to it being a done deal. It is about not (if possible) paying the fee at once which is mandatory if activating a buyout clause in Spain hence why PSG wanted (back in the day) to negotiate with us when Neymar was sold. We refused and the rest is history...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Still going strong, I see. Good to see.;) I was talking about actual performances likewise and the obvious talent and potential of Dembélé. Even commented on the absurd notion of "football intelligence" having a correlation to intelligence as a whole and whether or not Dembélé has "football...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Good to hear that. Not necessarily build around Dembélé (as in him being the vocal point of the team) but as an important and most importantly young and highly promising piece of the team and attack. Alongside the likes of FDJ, Arthur and whoever the board decides to buy. MDL (or another...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    This is welcome news (now that the board decided not to go all-in on MDL and it looks unlikely that a new CB will arrive) provided that he will not rot on the bench or worse at home or in the tribunes when not called up for the match squad. I definitely see great potential in him but that...

    Xavi Simons

    Another hyped up kid who became famous years prior to his professional debut. We have a Kluivert Jr. following a similar line of development. Doubt that it will end as desired for both of them.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Nothing controversial about that. It has been pretty obvious since at least 2016. You cannot create a TEAM that evolves around 1 solve individual (mostly) no matter how talented he is. Football is a team sport for a reason. Even more so if said individual (Messi) does not contribute defensively...

    Neymar Jr.

    With Malmierda around we should all expect something along those lines although I would prefer your take on things just for the entertainment value alone. Griezmann-Suárez-Messi Busquets-Rakitic-Vidal Alba-Lenglet-Piqué-Roberto In fact his love affair with Coutinho might even mean that...
