I hope the staff who thought it was a good idea to get this clown along with coutinho and Griezmann have all been replaced. Never seen a more disjointed player playing for such a high club for so many seasons, while getting $$$. What a joke.

The old board was obsessed with laurato martinez this board seems to want him too. I doubt there is any change

I wouldn't blame the club for buying Coutinho and Dembele, Coutinho was one of the best midfielders in the PL at the time when we bought him and for some people even the best Liverpool player while many rated Dembele higher than Mbappe in 2017. After failure, it's just easy say they shouldn't have been bought. The only point of criticism on my part is the transfer fee, which was definitely way too high.

I wouldnt blame them for dembele. He was supposed to be the next big thing and a natural winfer replacement to neymar.

But coutniho? That guy had a bust written all over him. Overrated while he was in trash liverpool team. Player we didnt need.

Yeah, Dembele made the most sense back then. The big issue was the money paid to get him.
Coutinho and Griezzman were evident busts from the get go.

Fair point, but Coutinho and Griezmann were def huge failures. Where were they intending to play these players? Seems like a disconnect between coaching staff and management because it seems that Greizmann for example was suppose to replace the striker role, while that's never been his main position. Same thing with coutinho. We buy him for midfield yet play him on the wings.

Everyone was excited about Coutinho. Griezmann was the obvious miss out of these all signings, YET Griezmann had the most quality in the end and turned out to be the best of the busts.

We bought Coutinho hoping he'd turn into an 8 while he'd been best as a 10. That's not the best of planning. Can't deny I was also wrong about him, thought he'd do well for us.

Agreed about Griezmann. Obvious misfit, but he's quality.

Never liked Dembele. Imagine we got Mbappe instead..

That's what Klopp was saying too. He didn't understand why Barca bought Coutinho. Again, abysmal roster planning or planning players for WRONG positions. We need to stop doing that.. I think we will have a similar problem with Depay-Messi and Griezmann. They all like to have the ball at their feet.

This might cause more problems again.

Selling him is the best thing to do but who will buy him??
IMO no one!!
Clubs know he's injury prone and inconsistent. No club will be stupid enough to pay a fee when they can get him for free next season.

Madrid bought hazard for like 110m with a year left, there is faint hope that someone may take a punt on him for around the 50m range, if i was a pl club I would for sure..

Hazard came off 7 seasons of world class performances.

No one's going to buy Dembele for 50m for being injured and having mediocre performances. It's not going to happen. N


Notice how there's been no links to Dembele for a good few years now? No one wants him, at least no one wants to buy him right now. Outside of being a decent gamble for free I don't think any club's seriously looking at Dembele.

The most sensible solution for Barcelona would be to sell him this summer, while he is still young, relatively fit, you could get a decent fee for him still, even with just a year left of his contract.

No team wants to gamble on this guy. He's not that good and he's had his injury problems. Not to mention, he'll demand a big salary.
