Ousmane Dembélé

[malvolio]

This is a fact, I struggled to think of any while writing my post, that we could realistically afford.

We should try our best to keep him, until we are settled financially.

His 6 months on fitness gives us something we don't currently have in our squad.

Yeah, back to back CL groups elimination with his great finishing.

 

[malvolio]

I’ve no plans to go anywhere mate, relax.

Sit your ass down Opta wannabe

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

No more fucking around. If he is playing hardball this time around just let him go.

We can't have players who have done so little over such a long period of time, bullying the Barca.

You're going to watch PSG most likely.

Forum will lose an invaluable footballing genius.

Yes, keep spreading the fake news that two PSG-bound journos started spreading.

True Barca fan you, as always...

How do you know those are fake news though? Even Ramano didn't speficially shut down the rumor, he just said there is no deal between Dembele and PSG YET.

I hope it is fall fake news but if he is stupid enough to chooses to leave, I hope at least he leaves us with a decent amount of money, instead of just 25m.

No credible journalist has stated that the player himself is open to the idea leaving.
Let alone 'being close to an agreement' that these two PSG agents started spreading

PS: Dembele rejected advances from Saudi clubs the last month to stay at Barca, advances including much more money than what PSG has to offer
It's clear since last summer, he doesn't wanna go anywhere.
If Moussa plays a game to raise our offer, he will lose out as he lost out last summer

Lol, no one said he's a great finisher or some kind of difference maker at the very highest level.

Their is a balance between where Birdy is at with how he rates him and thinking he's a complete clown, he's not.

Facts are he offers something no one else in the squad offers, only for about 6 months mind you, but unless you're gonna replace him with someone who will stay fit all season, for now he's a net positive to the squad.

I would like to see a video of Laporta hugging a mannequin with Dembele's shirt on it.

Facts are we would have been better off with that Chukwueze lad. Less money and not as injured.

Maybe, best ability is availability and he definitely has that on Dembele.

But since we can't get him, best to keep Dembele, for what will basically we 5-6 months on the field per usual.

Sell next summer when more options are available.

FACTS:

obviously he isn't better
he is just a decent sub with similar skillset to rotate and replace him when injured

Right now we play with only 1 winger and 4 mds and have no one who is able to replace him in our XI

The four midfielder setup is way too one dimensional to work well in Europe IMO.
Especially as Xavi hasn't shown he's too good tactically so far either.

 

[KingLeo10]

Birdy so delusional that he thinks me preferring Messi over Dembele based on their Barca contributions is supposed to be an insult

Someone check this dude's dorm room for arsenic. Goofball was twerking for Arsenal so much he might have mixed up the two and gotten serious brain damage

@Luftstalag14

The news from the French media about PSG and Dembélé doesn't cause any particular concern in the dressing room. Xavi is 100% sure that the Frenchman will continue.
@ferrancorreas


Isn't clear that two PSG journalists specifically dropped 'bomb-style' fake news to cause unrest?

It's the most balanced given our squad, specifically our interiors CMs and DMs

It's the only system where FDJ's presence works.
It won't change soon, especially games against top and below top sides

Our chance to see a 4-3-3 with two wingers will be only against fodder.

JUST IN: Luis Enrique wants Pedri! The Spanish midfielder is not closing the door and would love to reunite with his former coach.
@psgcommunity_


LOOOL

See how the French media work?
pay attention to the lie "the spanish midfielder is not closing the door'

Luft, do you see what they are doing?

 

[khaled_a_d]

PSG doesn't need to make unrest.
News is from legit journalists afaik, and it seems PSG interest and preparation to trigger his release clause is real.
Whether or not he accepts is another question, but the news probably means his agent ready for it. At the end the player will decide for himself
