That's defensively the weakest midfield ever.
Imagine Dembele-someone-Coutinho and 3 attackers.
Our every match would end with 5:4 and 4:3. Not necessarily with our wins.
0:5 defeats in a CL wouldn't be too rare either.

Entshuldingung! I accidentally switched Demb with Martins ...

so if you have Demb in RW and Gelson in RM, then you'd have -->

Martins - Eriksen/Arthur/Busi - Couti/Davies

dunno about Arthur's Defense abilities but out of the above 3-men MF candidates, only Coutinho has a shaky defense rating (and possibly Arthur... maybe some1 can voice in on that one).

Martins, Aouar, Davies, Busquests and Eriksen have a very strong to strong defensive ratings, with good to very good scores in tackling, interceptions, duels won, blocks...

so is the issue mainly with the 3 men midfield vs 4? Would 3 in Mid leave to much of a gap? :gap:

Also, think you're underestimating the offensive potential of these guys. Think we'd score double the goals we'd concede. Conservative guestimate :innocent:

About how young players are losing balls, NO ONE ever was losing as many balls as Dembele. He can make wonders but he is a turnover machine also.

Forget young players... Coutinho, at nearly 26, is losing just as many.

Has he been taken to task for it in his thread? Nope.

Your agenda against Dembélé is bordering on the ridiculous.

Not that I disagree with you @BBZ8800 that losing the ball a lot is not great, but if you want to win, you have to take risks and turning the ball over to make something happen is that risk.

Playing safe we're never going to win the CL again.

You can afford to let your winger and attacking players lose the ball. Midfielders and defenders though not so much.

People bitch about his price tag as if we had any choice but to react and play the market post-Neymar. He was our best option by FAR to come in and provide danger from the wings. Yes, he is raw, unpolished, expensive... but he has already provided a lot to the team. Just needs a full off-season with the team to learn to protect the ball and sync with our players more. He will be just fine. Sometimes I wonder about some of our fan base.

Because he rejected Barça and RM for PSG according to a few local sources in Monaco.

Monaco would rather sell overseas too.

Only ones saying otherwise are L'equipe who got an agenda against PSG anyway.

There were stories about him going with PSG after Perez rejected to give him 12m salary. Didn't know PSG were his first choice. Thank you.

Anyway, how much does Dembele earn?

The loan rumors are true if Griezmann arrives but not crucial. They plan to lend it for 1 year but maybe not in the second possibility.
