11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[Nothanks]

okay, but add to the situation that there are other people gunning for your job

some people would cut vacation short to prove themselves because lets be real you haven't in the whole year you've been at this company.

The only thing that should matter is how he trains/performs once he comes back from vacation. If he's a dud, he'll be a dud with one less week of vacation or with no vacation at all. If he's good, he's good and the prolonged vacation should have no bearing on what others do. Of course there are players who will hunt for his spot in the team and it's Ousmane's job to win it back.

It's just too much fuss for a goddamn week of vacation. It doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

1. Injured for half a season, without preseason, on top of that doesn't come as manager's first choice. Clear as day he hasn't adapted yet.

2. You miss the point, again. Club gave them rest they're entitled to. Dembele didn't decide to cut it short and come back early. That's what fans' comments are all about. Mendy, Lemar both did it. Came back trying to win their spots. It's never been about the club, it's his attitude.

Not like it will make any difference

Doubt EV gives any shit about preseason anyway. Will still have to see what kind of change he brings the start of next season and whether he will be bold anough to trust players like Arthur, Lenglet, and not bench them for 4-5 games straight after one bad performance.

As long as Dembele works his ass off after coming back, then I dont have any issue with him having a vacation. Season's still long ahead of us.

 

[Donatello]

Whether Demb. will cut his vacation or not, has been going on and on for days.
I tried to avoid it hoping it'll be over.
This shit is dragging too long.
Seems baffling that people have so much time to waste on such things.

As Sorin pointed out,

So, stop shitposting and talk some sensible stuff here.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Arsenal fan TV keep posting about Ramsey + Cash for Dembele... haven't seen it anywhere else though are they talking nonsense?

 

[xXKonan]

They are quoting that Sun article that was posted earlier today.

 

[Barcaman]

We kept Gomes for 2 seasons but "been offering Dembele" after he effectively played 4 months.

These journalists

Doubt Romero knows anything.

Don't know why Reddit users consider him Tier 1 and 2, Dude at best is a Tier 3-4 now as he conveniently waits until other better Catalan sources start to report before saying anything.

What's your say on Albert Roge? I haven't seen him in Transfer Reliability Guide there.

Anyways, I don't use Reddit for football much, but have checked the sub (Barca Reddit) a few times this week and it says our sub is the most constructive, serious one among others. Interesting stuff. Complete offtopic.

Albert Roge is a mixed bag for me. He's real specialty is La Masia and he's very reliable on that front, but when it comes to First team material? He's a hit and miss and often makes things look to simple than it really is.

 

[KingMessi]

Romero is a dunce. Tier Z for non La Masia stuff.

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

This stuff about his holiday is bullshit, it's up to the club to decide when he comes back so there is little to debate or argue about

 

[Laplacian]

but but but a week of vacation is the deciding factor between flopping and succeeding

Not really. By FIFA regulations players have the right for at least 3 weeks of rest between two seasons. Sometimes clubs can give them more time off but the players can also decide to come back sooner. Many players have done so in the past.

I'm not blaming Dembele for staying on holliday until he's allowed though I'd like to see him back before that. He missed whole preseason last summer and will do it again this year.

 

[FC433]

Did not know that, interesting.
