11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[kattanib]

Dont see this guy gettting much game time this year.

Define “much”.

 

[Donatello]

But you declared that someone of means would have no interest posting on this forum which is not true.

No. I said someone won't waste time arguing on a forum about him being genuine.

If a person who says that he is rich on a forum, its most probably a BS. Because there is no way you can find the actual truth, someone can easily make an account with fake credentials.

I never said he can't use social network or can't be on a forum.

And, As I said, I am not buying it. You're more than welcome to believe him being genuine.

 

[Joan]

I am happy with what I have, I don't like to brag about my lifestyle anyways.

Kidding, kidding

Money on this guy not being genuine, though

Can we please direct this topic back to whether or not Demebele will come good for Barca or not please? Thanks.

If he is a starter this year, I can see him getting 15+ assists and 10+ goals.

I think Malcom being here will push him.

Woah. Those are some pretty optimistic numbers! I do hope you're right.

He definitely needs to improve his decision making and end product to reach those numbers.

Not really. He had 4 goals and 8 assists last season in around 1100 minutes played. If he becomes semi-regular starter, I'd expect him to play cca twice as much and with even more adaptation, he could reach those numbers. Also it seems that he is already responsible for corners from the right side, which will help him in adding a few assists here and there.

But a lot of this depends on Valverde and how much he plays him.

Yes his sophomore season will tell us a lot. Do hope he settles in. We need his contribution if we are to make it deep into the knockout stages of the Champions League. He's rumored to be difficult to get along with. Antisocial. Dunno if that was mentioned in this forum. Don't want that to be an issue and disrupt the team chemistry.

Well, apparently Pique and Alba have been helping him to socialize since his injury. Suarez is also a key figure and seems to like the kid a lot.

I think you read this in Sport, who reported that, because they hate him.

Apparently we had a choice of Dembele and Mbappe? And we went and got the former.

Even before his exploits in the World Cup, Mbappe was ALREADY World Class. Anyone could see that. How I wish we had went all out for Kylian with the funds from the sale of Neymar. Mbappe's absolutely a gamechanger. As was Neymar, admittedly.

Dembele, on the other hand, I'm not so sure.

Mark my words, Mbappe may be the second highest transfer fee of all time, but if and when PSG decide to sell him, he'll be the new world record transfer, beating Neymar. Future multiple Ballon d'Or winner.

We never had a choice between Mbappe or Dembele.

Mbappe had his heart set on joining PSG and rejected an offer from Real Madrid matching the 180m transfer fee and rejected Man City too after Pep personally called him up.

We, just like those two clubs had no chance.

Those are facts, as told by Monaco and Mbappe himself. Everything else, Emery's words, Catalan media reports a year after is all BS.

Mbappe's too big for PSG. Sooner or later he'll end up at Madrid.

So the question is: what players do we bring in to replace Suarez/Messi etc once he makes the move to Madrid.

The answer to this question may very well shape the La Liga and Champions League landscape and have an effect on the balance of power as we know it.

Real Madrid are going to try to sign Neymar next summer.

Mbappe won't join Madrid if Neymar is there.

Mbappe, at only 19, is already the future.

The future is here, in other words.

It'll be interesting to see and witness, the power play (if any) between Neymar and him at PSG this season.

btw isn't it amazing how Neymar was able to sublimate his egotistical self when he was around Suarez and Messi at Barca? It's like he completely changed as a person/changed personality when he left for PSG.

So which is the true Neymar? A combination of the two seemingly disparate selves, I suppose.
