Number of good midfielders&attackers at Rennes: 1
Who is a key player: Dembele
Number of good midfielders&attackers at Borussia: a few
Who is a key player: Dembele
Number of good midfielders&attackers at Barca: 10-15
Who is a key player: Messi
Malcom came from a Bordeaux, where he was a key and the best player.
Arthur came from Santos where he was a key and the best player.
Dembele came from Rennes and Dortmund, where he was a key player.
Some people would say: but, Dembele was awesome at Rennes/Dortmund when he was a key player.
If we turn him into a key player here, maybe he would play equally as good.
Fair idea.
It doesn't ever occur to you that maybe, fucking maybe he became a "key player" specifically because of his high quality performances and outperformed every single winger at Rennes and Dortmund. Everyone had high hopes for Dembele when he arrived at Dortmund, however everyone expected him to take a season to adapt and grow as a player in germany, no one expected him to dominate everyone in pre-season and quickly establish himself as Dortmund's main threat.
Like seriously, some one brilliantly counters you stupid bullshit and all you do is make up more excuses for them. Watch, if Dembele has a good season you'll still say something along the lines of
"Yeah but he had Messi doing everything for him. I'll wait for judgment when Messi retires and he becomes the main man."
Same shit you did with Neymar, you will never like the player. Stop pretending you're objective and stop poisoning this thread.
