Ousmane Dembélé

Is there any potential even left? He loses his speed a bit and he's done anyway.

Maybe it's time to move on..

If he could control the ball and dribble like an Arjen Robben then for sure.

Too bad we couldn't even get a quarter of that.

The biggest problem in selling Dembele apart from the injuries has been his salary, nobody could even match it.

It is a win win situation, you keep it for 4 years with an average salary (less than Pjanic, Roberto, etc) and if he has a good year you can surely sell him since some club will be able to offer him more money, not like now. He would already be fully amortized, and all we get is profit. You can't offer him 1 or 2 years, he would wait to finish his contract again.


And if he does not accept to renew, then for next year you will already get rid of what he is currently earning. More than 20M in the wage bill.

The offer to Roberto should be similar. Half salary for 1 or 2 years to be a substitute. And if he does not accept, you will get rid of almost another 20M next year.

The highest and longest paid sick leave in the world

This time it's a knee injury, so there's a good chance he will physically decline in terms of pace.

 

[malvolio]

for him it's a risk that can be considered - not signing this reduced contract, getting another 12M net for one season from us and then signing on a free for another club. he is done for half a season anyway. in january he signs with another club and voila.

but i guess we will offer him to all of europe this summer, if he rejects the new terms.

Manchester United were willing to pay 50 million euros for Demb?l? before his injury occurred. [cat radio]

PAIN

 

[DonAK]

If true it probably hinged on them not completing the Sancho transfer you'd have to assume. So wouldn't have mattered anyway since they're close to finalizing that one.

PAIN

Making a hypothetical claim that can't be denied because he is injured.

There is no way Dembele will accept a 50% reduction in his wages. I think he'll just wait it out and go on a free next season.

pls pls pls pls offload this summer

otherwise hell have 2 good games at the start of next season, scoring 1 goal and assisting 2, and well get excited, and hell get injured for 3 months again

We won't be able to offload him this summer. He's currently injured and is about to be out for about 6 months.

 

[BarcaOG]

its like hes competing with coutinho for most frustrating transfer

 

[malvolio]

This reminds me of Football Manager, when I wanted to just get rid of a player and offered him to other clubs for free. Only to be ignored by everyone.

Dont forget to re-sign him with absurdly high wages for five more years. That's #1 rule from Barto master class.

Get him out asap ! Fking bum, no wonder Messi hates him
