Even before his bad injury he is not a finish product yet.

Said can be said for Mbappe, PSG will be paying 180 Million for him not because he's not a finish product but for the talent. I mean seriously Dembele is 20 years old man, no one not even Messi was a complete product yet at that age.

Video of Dembele.. Humiliating everyone. Sweet sweet video. He is just electrifying to watch. Similar to Neymar in that sense, but maybe even faster?! Insane.

What xavi means re mbappe is that if you take away his blistering pace from him and leave him with everything else he wouldn't be as good as he is, but that' not how things work so for now he is a monster as xavi also said.

Won't say much about dembele but people on here be crazy

We are no more a possession team. We are so often around 50-60% this season and relying on players' individual brilliance to create chances. One game against Levante changes nothing. We need somebody fresh and explosive to add another dimension to our attacking play. I hope Dembele can do that.
BTW Playing tiki-taka to break bus is too hard. Even our prime-time 09-11 team isn't that effective. The failed experiments of Ibra, Alexis, Fabregas and Neymar (success only after Suarez's arrival). I believe there's a tendency to drop tiki-taka obsession (since Xaviniesta never ever again) in favor of fast transition play (Modric, KDB very typical). However, I believe Modric and KDB-type player will be confined if more and more teams learn from ATM. The next step may be using Messi (or Dembele?) type players to carry the ball forward.

AGAIN: I don't think we are a great team right now, despite our record. Ter Stegen and Alba are having a great season. Paulinho is a surprise to other teams and they don't know how to deal with it now (but they will figure it out soon). EV knows La Liga. I followed him when he coached a completely messed up Valencia. He just knows some tricks about how to get points (a bit like Sir Alex).

I don't agree that we're not a possession based team any longer... We average 67% possession in the Champions League and 64% in La Liga. In an ideal world it should be closer to 70% in La Liga but we've just come off a run of tough away games which has dropped that percentage.

That said, tiki-taka will always be part of the DNA of this team. We'll just see different variations of it and I think we're only 1 midfielder short of completely controlling games again.

And yes, it's difficult for any style, not just tiki-taka, to break down a well oiled bus.

Only doubt is if he will turn to be wc player or not, will he be worth such money or not, as much is annoying how people jump to conclusion after 2 games that he will be flop its annoying also how here we have his bandwagon fans who worship him even if he didnt nothing yet, puting highlight videos from dortmund and saying how he is best young talent out there, first guy has to surpass mbappe

He is a very different player to Mbappe. Why is it so important that the 2 of them are compared?
