11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[FlaFCB]

I understand that, but with Neymar, Suarez and Messi he wouldn't get nearly as much playing time as he does in Dortmund. We will have to either sign him this summer or next and i don't agree with that. Better to let him develop and mature further than cut his growth to save 10 million Euro

Messi is not the rw anymore, Rafinha is. That's where he'd play. I really doubt Messi wants to go back to the rw. 343 or 4231, we'd need a rw.

We did sell them Bartra for 8 mil so we have done business with them recently. Maybe we can parlay that into them selling us Dembele.

Just saying that arguably the best player in Germany this season at 19 years old wont stay in Dortmund for as long as you think. If we wanted to sign him and loan him, that should have been done last season. We are not going to pay a record breaking fee (30m is a laughable sum for Dembele) and loan him out for years.

Once again, last season we were linked with him but we could not give him the playing time he needed to develop. Having arguably the best front three in the world is a double edged sword. On one had, they are the best, on the other, they are too good to not play as many games as possible. Barcelona will always need to pay huge fees because we have elite players and we need elite players. Not young promising talent who wouldn't grow in the roster like Denis Suarez or Andre Gomes.

Hypothetically, if we did sign him last summer, do you think he would have reached this stage in his career with us in comparison to playing as much as he wants in Germany? Didn't think so

You misunderstand. We are not going to sign him for a massive fee and loan him out for several years. It doesnt work that way. That could only have happened last season when he was cheaper. That train has passed. Now he'll be by far the most expensive player ever coming from Germany and that means he wont be loaned out.

 

[Cool]

If Dembele comes then he'll come around Suarez fee and that will probably tell us we're sticking to 3-4-3 with Messi playing behind Suarez.

Also, if we get Dembele, I can't see us getting Dybala due to the wages.

 

[Messi983]

It doesn't have to mean we'll stick to 343 if we get him. We can also easily play 4-2-3-1

If we signed Paco we could have signed him, but he seems to be a smart kid, he made the right step for his career

Except he rejected us,Roberto himself admitted he tried to sign many players for attack but all rejected playing behind MSN
Paco wanted to leave the circus in Valencia,that is why he accepted to move here otherwise even him would have rejected joining Barca too

 

[Yannik]

Pretty sure he'll end up at Barca in the end, not this season, maybe not the next, but at some point he will. sure, same has been said about Dybala or Verratti, but Dembele has actually said he wants to play for Barca, so it's just a matter of time. Would probably be one of the most expensive transfers ever, but Barca will ultimatively pull it off unless he'd suddenly decline or so.

 

[Barcaman]

Maybe he'd be even better than Dybala for us.
Haven't been really that impressed with Argentinian.

What does this all mean, Don?

They're just having some fun as they'll meet each other. Like, literally as Mendy is Monaco's LB and Dembele will likely play on the right.

I see, some harmless pre-game trash talk.

@LarsPollmann: Zorc: We've a clear understanding with Dembele that he'll take the next steps here. He could play for Barca at some point, but not next year
