11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[Joan]

One thing is normal IQ and another is football IQ.

A lot of people call Messi retarded but he is a football genius.

Not that unrealted. Messi is a very private person, we can't know whether he's retarded or not.

It's hard to take some of BBZ's posts seriously at times because of this stuff.

It seems like he's waiting for the kid to do something he didn't like and BAM he comes out with paragraphs full of things trying to tear down the dude for one thing he didn't like. Dembele is 20 years old, of course he's not a finished product.

He's simply not patient enough and he wants players right off the bat to be finished articles. I like some of BBZ's posts but sometimes one needs to show more patience especially Dembele case who's still 20 years old.

It wont matter, he will find a way to contour the story so that it fits his agenda to spew hate.

For example, Neymar could have registered 50 goals and 25+ assists last season but BBZ would still stick to his argument that Neymar is a Barca failure because Real Madrid managed to win 3 CL titles in the 4 seasons that Neymar was a Barca player.

Only idiot around here is you. And if you don't agree with that why have you post it here?

That comment ain't funny at all, it's 100% trolling. Also can you explain your signature if you don't agree with this comment?

Although I dont take much notice of XaviIniesta's posts but I'm pretty sure it's satire. It's not that hard to notice. Some people here just likes to overreact.

What are the chances Dembouz lied to physios, just to be given green light to play? I say - high.

Well in that case, he needs to learn how to be a professional athlete and he was just lucky until now with injuries.

 

[FC B]

At least he'll available for the Chelsea match.

Not expecting anything from him this year and it's not like I was expecting too much when he last returned.

Useless availability since he'll be as integrated into the team as he is now.

 

[Pedro]

You can see from his long legs and big thigh muscles that Dembouz will always be prone to hamstring type injuries.

 

[Windhook]

Who do you trust more? Dortmund and Barcelona scouts or BBZ's judgment based on YouTube videos?

It's official - Ousmane Dembele is a retard.

 

[El Flaco]

Why being so rude, Don?
Not cool.



I have some serious doubts about his IQ, to be honest.
When he signed for us, my friend, a Liverpool fan, told me: wow, that Dembele kid doesn't look like the brightest lad.
I asked why, and he told me about this video:

I know, he is a kid, he was confused.
But I have some red flags about his IQ since then. And his decisions in our matches didn't help either.



Robben was injured all the time when younger.
Mourinho used to curse during Chelsea's matches: Wtf, seriously? Are you injured AGAIN?

Sometimes doctors can't help.
And some players have discomfort in muscles all the time.
Or they do get injured all the time even though they had the best doctors and the best tests.



2nd best player in terms of dribbling and an ability to create something out of nothing.
That is quite different from being a 2nd best player overall.

He was nowhere near that.

About Dembele's future, [MENTION=16775]dakt[/MENTION] already mentioned that a kid looks scared and mentally fragile for now.
To some extent it is understandable, because he is really a kid, in a foreign country, with a 150M burden on his shoulders, huge expectations, playing for one of the best teams in the world.

But, these injuries will hurt his mental strength even more.
Fans are already starting to doubt him, either because of his displays till now, or because of injury proneness, or both.

So, it will probably affect him and a burden on his shoulders will be even bigger in the next Months.

A few weeks ago, I thought that we don't need Griezmann, since we have 4 star players already.
But now:
1. who knows whether Dembele will be injured all the time
2. who knows how will he cope mentally with injuries and expectations
3. who knows whether he will ever fit to our team, and if yes, who knows how many seasons a kid will need to fit here

Sorry Dembele, but for Barca's short term future, like the next 2-3 years (Messi's final years), we will need fit, experienced and RIGHT NOW type of players like Coutinho and Griezmann.

So, we should let him recover and integrate slowly to our team, but I am not sure whether we can expect anything from him in 2018 and 2019.
In terms of Barca, it is good that we bought Coutinho, and imo, adding Griezmann won't be such a bad thing as it looked a few weeks ago.

Think you're a little bit too harsh about Dembele, at least regarding that YT-clip.

I know guys who are predominately right footed & would always shoot with their right but would cross with their left foot.

Yes doctor.

Well if that’s the case than he learned on the hard way. The problem is if he had discomfort after Celta game than I hope they did MRI or ultrasound because if there was a muscle injury present they would have seen it wothout him telling or not telling the truth.

To be fair, no one knows who's at fault here but Dembele should know his own body and condition well, if he was indeed feeling discomfort and pain then he shud have voiced it out again before the match to Valverde or whoever. No point pushing himself when he is clearly not 100% ready or confident. His face shows it all in the clips.

 

[Centauri B]

Damn. Didn't even play a proper match already injured.

With half the season gone, Dembele has not played a 90-minute match for us. Strange, because he had zero injury problems in previous years.

 

[ronniecro]

jesus what a meltdown

 

[FC433]

Not too concerned. It is only a couple of weeks out.

Regarding Dembele feeling his leg, I think it is pretty normal. He might have gotten into the habit of feeling it while he was injured. It happens all the time, I used to do it when I had surgery.

We need to be a little bit more careful next time, and personally, I would only play him at the Camp Nou knowing that other stadiums' pitch condition is pretty poor.

 

[wisconsincule]

When did he get hurt? Stemming back to the Celta match??
