seems like he's not good at playing football either
Said it last week , its as if they have something in their contracts that says if you are near the box it must go to Messi.

Yeah, I dont mind telling this. He forced his transfer from BVB, we overpayed him by insane amount (both transfer fee and his wages) and what do we get ? He is 90% of time injured, his confidence is non existent. Everybody pretty much argues that G. Bale was a flop overall, just imagine what will be with this guy if he continues like this. I have no reason to believe that based on this season, he's been major disappointment. That would be much more easier to digest if his wages were at some reasonable point, not 12 mil. per year and if the fee was like Mina's. Our idiotic board under the pressure of selling Neymar splashed ridiculous sum to buy this guy who had just one good season and was completely unproven. I mean, it's not his fault, but I really believe he's not Barca material and he will end up as biggest transfer flop in the history of this club. God, I hope I'm wrong ...

Bale actually was one of madrid's best players in the UCL in 13/14 and was the best in 15/16. He also won Madrid the CdR. wouldn't label him a flop

My point exactly, and majority of neutral fans still consider him a flop. Then what is Dembele ? Just imagine Bale having his first season like this at RMA and our reaction to Madrid's transfer policy.

He played 300 minutes of football here. 100 of them were cameos. I'd say lets wait for him to reach 1000 minutes (11 full games) and speak if he is a flop then. It's also important when does he reach them (injuries). Hopefully until the end of April.
On the whole the guy has been an expensive flop , why would you come on here and say otherwise ?

There is really really high chance that he will end up as major flop. It just seems that he doesn't have what it takes. Hazard was 20 when he came to Chelsea, Dybala 21 when he came to Juventus, just to name a few. Our guy is 20 and he's shaking and falling like a 15 year old nervous kid who got chance to play with seniors.
Ousmane Dembélé

Dude he's played 291 minutes with us so far, that's barely over 3 full matches.....

Those two never suffered a long injury either like Dembele has had at that age.
Dembele has only played what 6 games for us? of course he isn't going to be up to speed.

You have a point, if dembele was bought by real, he would be laughing stock here, but hey, barca bought him for record amount, he cant connect 4 matches before he get injuried, and when he plays he doesnt look like he belong here, but "he is still young lets not judge him", i would agree with that if barca paid 20m for him and he is on low wage, but its not the case

I know all of that. I'm just arguing that his mentality is not right fit. He was a panic buy. His transfer was unnecessary. I really hope I'm wrong, next season will be make it or break it for him.
He wasnt a panic buy. We wanted to sign him before Dortmund but he picked Borussia because he knew he would play there. This has been repeated over and over again and yet I see this "panic" theory popping up.
Dembele might appear weak mentally or whatever but he was a class player for Borussia and pretty much everyone's first pick to replace Neymar. Nothing panicky about his purchase.
