Ousmane Dembélé

Would rather extend Ferran until 2035 than throw another 50m through the window for Olmo.

Haven't seen a single Barca fan want Olmo apart from the biased La Masia account on Twitter lol.
Was same with Griezmann, 95% of the fanbase knew it was a mistake.

As much as dont want Olmo as team lack pace and dribbling ability other than Dembele.... he is better than Gavi on the left in this formation

It is sad he improves the current team really whether Barca should be after him or not.

Supposedly this lad is massively talented. Such a waste are the injuries. Now also Luuk de Jong has come out and said he thinks Dembele is ridiculous based on what he has seen in training.

 

[OVI9323]

Something true is, everybody is pretty shocked by his level. In term of comment on how other palyers, teachers give him praise, he's one of the most praised player. Even today Luuk de Jong said a comment on the player who impressed him the most during his stay at the club :

Luuk de Jong: "The player who impressed me the most at Barça? Dembélé. He was able to read it perfectly well when he, as a winger, had to serve the striker."

 

[serghei]

Dembele never really had the chance to prove himself because he never had back to back seasons without at least a major injury sidelining him for months.

Difficult to develop if you don't stay fit.

 

[jamrock]

When he comes back, Xavi's gonna have to tough decision to make.

Because rap's been clutch so far in his absence

 

[JamDav1982]

Wont be difficult decision.

Dembele will be rated far ahead of Raphinha.

 

[Horatio]

Was about to say what jammie says. No brainer for me. Dembele first choice

 

[te amo barca]

If Dembele slots back in form effortlessly he'll easily overtake Raphinha. Xavi may come back to playing Dembele on the left and Raph on the right in some games too.

If Dembele looks rusty, he'll largely sit out 3-4 games while being eased back in.

 

[jamrock]

Thank God Xavi is the coach & not y'all lol.

Easy decision it will not be, he'll probably go 4-3-3 more so they both play.

Will be easy for Xavi.

He rates Dembele a lot higher.

 

[mc_lovin]

Will be easy for Xavi.

He rates Dembele a lot higher.

We all do, but one is winning us games and the other is in the hospital.

Irrelevant to the point made though.

The point made was when both fit.

Raph has 1 more G+A than Dembele in LL while having played 10 more games. The difference in quality is sizable, even without taking into account Dembele's 1v1 ability.

Raphinha has been an underwhelming signing. Did contribute to some important games... where Barca won 1-0. With Dembele those games are 4-0.
