11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[clemente]

Fact of the matter is nobody is forced to sell their players if they don't want to. I don't understand the outcry. Stupid is the one that pays, not the one that demands. I mean, put Barca in their position. A club comes and demands a player in August with a week until the season starts. The player wants to go as well. What should they do? Put a reasonable price on them? Hell no. Bartomeu would be lynched the next morning. Same for their management.

I'm sure the negotiations would be different if we came calling in June.

Sure, it's less likely someone would want to leave Barca for any other team, well other than in few cases. But that's why we have pretty good still. We are at the top now. Other teams have aspirations too though. We should stop being so elitist and be more humble for a change. We could blow up their whole preseason and league with these purchases.

The ones at fault for this situation are Bartomeu and that rat Neymar and his father. Not other clubs asking for stupid money.

Of course we should sell if someone wants to leave. Thats the whole point. If Busquets said he wants to go to chelsea I would want him gone asap.

In the middle of August? Fuck no. Either Chelsea pays through their nose or he sucks it up and plays for another season because he was an undecided prick who announced wanting out at the start of the season. Please.

Is dembele really that good for the price... is he even better than gerard

No. But he is on a hype vagon this transfer period, jump on if you will, there is only few places left

 

[Devils]

Definitely not good enough for the price but a large portion part of the investment (and risk) is on his talent and potential to become one of the best players in the world.

It's the same investment that United made with Pogba.

 

[DonAK]

Obviously he's better than Deulofeu. Crazy to suggest he's not. People who say Deulofeu is just as good have probably been living under a rock the last three years.

 

[jairzinho]

This kid has lots of potential but even 150m for him is ludicrous. I doubt this is spending with 'prudence and serenity'.

Such a inestment 100+ for a talent, far from end product is not worth it, but its not my money, they can do what they want, but splashing 130+ m on a talent is beyond ridiculous, dont compare barca to united, mes que un club we say, even mbappe did bigger impact last season then him, so i understand hype for him, for dembele no

 

[Andrew M]

Yes, I can get on board with spending pretty huge for Coutinho but Dembele not as much. He's 20 and has a lot of learning to do.

 

[TS88]

Yep, nowhere near good enough for that ridiculous amount. Barca really need him and Coutinho too help Messi and not waste away his last few years.

Obviously the fees are bordering on ridiculous but the option is to pay big or go with lesser players.

It has nothing to do with 'mes que un club' though. Barca have always spent big when felt the need to.

This ^

People would like to force Dortmund, and LFC to lower their prices, but we have no leverage. It won't happen magically just because it's Barcelona asking.

 

[Flacko]

I need some news

 

[jairzinho]

I honestly would rather we spend 130m on Hazard. Hell we're about to break the club record for a 20yr old.

Barca never spent so big on unproven players
