He is better than a sub-player, imo.
I hope so! for 105Mio (+40mio add-ons)! For this price he has to be a KEY player.

People forgot too fast how good was he when fit. Im excited to see him, de jong and arthur in the same lineup, all fit. Exciting times ahead of us.
There's at least 80 or so pages of users negatively reacting to his performances, even from so called "neutral" posters (not just "haters" like me) like Joan. It's either that or people excusing his performances by blaming Valverde or saying the squad's too old for him to play properly. lol
You need to slightly examine your own agenda, because people do NOT simply judge a young forward by his actual PERFORMANCES, rather, at the age of 20-21, the more clever folks, who understand a bit about this game, try to assess his talent and view his FUTURE performances under that microscope.
It is called: constructive thinking, when a coach, expert or semi-expert tries to examine players, things and even tactics in a BROADER range.
You (and BBZ and a couple of other folks, who otherwise have less of a gift to judge a player according to his natural and born talents) try to mostly come up with actual performances, in order to prove that he is an solid piece of shit. You do that regardless that the best clubs would be quite glad to have him, and of course it stands for other similar talents as well.
Well, you as a declared "hater", don't miss a single opportunity to express your feelings and opinion, which is simply dull, repetitive and boring.
Give him another season - here or elsewhere, it doesn't matter - and THEN you can declare that in spite of his talents, he couldn't make it for some sad reason.
But repeating the very same, highly biased sentences over and over again, leads nowhere.
Those, who fail to recognize the unmistakable talents - like Dembele is - will simply remain 'haters', without the minimally needed insight into the actual footballing aspect.
If anything's boring, dull, repetitive and lacking all sorts of nuance and substantiation here it's you.
Nah man Potroh is correct. Count your Dembele comments and face the facts. You re nearing Zidane@Rakitic level of repetition.
Right, because making predictions on his future performances based on what he displays the MAJORITY OF THE TIME isn't constructive thinking. Optimistically moaning about poTeNtIaL, poTEnTIAL, and PoTenTIAl despite the level he actually shows however is. Lol?

BBZ now going at people who actually played football professionally and even played in WC.
LMAO.
More like his 5 games or so of good form in December and January induced collective amnesia of all the sub-par and borderline insulting performances he had in September, October, and November for you guys.
He was fit here too:

It's simply amazing to me how easily this forum and other fan-spaces have completely forgotten about a huge chunk of Dembele's season. He had like two good games last season and less than 10 this season, yet you guys constantly wave that away as if it isn't part of his game while his good performances are. It's easy to see that Dembele can be magical, he has been, but that form comes way too infrequently for me to use it as a reason for him to start. A player who plays at best at a mediocre level for 3 months and a few weeks of good form is NOT starter quality for Barcelona. It's insane how the standards of this club has fallen.
When evaluating players we should consider his lows, highs, and every thing in between. For dembele his low and highs are way too far apart, the former happens much more frequently than the latter.

Wait, I don't agree with a former footballer and a guy who claims to be a coach.
And I am an idiot for that.
Yet, you and 90% of people here are shitting on Valverde for Dembele, Malcom, Arthur, Semedo, Alena, Puig, subs, style of play, transfers even though he won 2 La Ligas and he won league titles in Greece.
Lol, a hypocrisy?
Shitting and doubting opinions and decision of a 20M per year coach is ok.
Doubting an opinion of a user who may or may not be a random football coach is bad.
Barcaforum never disappoints.
