As a winger Dembele has the most talent across his generation. Let's face it there have been moments of sheer brilliance. However his injuries and attitude suck.
I'm on the fence with this guy. He has so much potential but we've only seen a glimpse of it. Higher ceiling than Sancho, Gnabry, Lautaro but just can't seem to get his mind and body right. Frustrating.
i agree...Dembele has so much potential and it's unfortunate that his time with us was riddled with so many injuries. I think it would be unfair to just get rid of him without giving him the chance of get a full season under his belt.
When speakin of Dembele's injuries, Barca should definitely shoulder some of the blame here aswell.
If you have a player with Dembele's attributes you have to map out a specific trainings regime for him so he can avoid said muscle injuries which im pretty sure we never did. The lack of intensity in trainings under Valverde has widely been documented. The kid barley suffered from any injuries before he joined us. So we're supposed to believe he's made out of glass all of a sudden?
The only reason why Dembele never worked out so far was because of his injury problems. Let's see what he can offer under a coach that actually cares about the physical well being of our players.
