Ousmane Dembélé

[FCMessi]

What can 25 million get us?

5m to 10m short of another Cardiophinha

 

[ajnotkeith]

100 percent could have got more without that dumb release clause even if he is injury prone.

25 million is average player fee these days.

Will be sad to see him leave as I rate him so highly but maybe for the best as hasn't worked out here and we can look for a winger who is more available during the seasons with the same profile.

Also, the reliant on Dembele for our "system" bit is overblown imo. Is he an improvement to the current team? Yes.

But this is an unprofessional clown who is injured half the season in the best case scenario for him. We basically handled the business end of last season without him and won LL fairly convincingly. And let's not pretend Dembele at any point in his life had the balls and game to make a difference in big CL KO games. So, it's bust with or without him there.

Worrying about losing the system without him is not worth it. We ain't losing prime Messi or prime Neymar here

He sure isn’t anywhere close to those players but he really excels on the right in our system. So for us he is a good player and an excellent system player. Nothing more, nothing less.
But a part of the problem is that Xavi keeps playing the same way when he is injured for half a season.

It we don’t change the way we play he will be missed hard. Should’ve probably tried to play differently in the friendlies.

Demsnake? Snakedele? 🐍🐍🐍

The idiots at the club caved to Dembele and his agent last summer and agreed to the 50m release clause, 50% of which goes to Dembele himself should it be triggered.

He was free at that time, no club signed him. And Barca had to make that 50% contract to make him sign.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I am OK with us losing talent or players with our head held high, I am not OK with us kowtowing to players just to beg them to come or to stay and making us so petty alone the way.

We shall never be this petty again.

Also the date when we lose him is too late. How the hell we are supposed to find a replacement now? So stupid it's mind-blowing

 

[feggydinho]

The guy followed money. Stupid, wish him not so good luck at PSG.

Guys, it's just business. You guys take it too personal, I was 90 percent certain it was going to happen cause it was logical so no ill feeling.

The club would've known that it would happen too so I'm sure they're ready to replace him.

Plus 80-90% of people would always go for the highest bidder

 

[feggydinho]

Spot on, this is all that happened

 

[Jadentheman]

🤣

Comedy gold, really.

This club is so poorly run. If you attack Laporta,his supporters will claim you are a Barto stooge.

In reality both are shit and the club deserves better.

Most people wanted the radical guy. But would have been too much for old school socios

 

[Messigician]

He was always gonna leave when he can pocket 25m for himself lol

Like duh no shit sherlock

I said it again and again lol

No brainer to leave

Like when Messi included his leave for free clause

Barcaforum you are all utter fools, do you think players include these clauses for fun? Shame on the club for accepting this rubbish.

I would have sold dembele immediately.

Well said

Birdy and Devils can go follow him at PSG Z

 

[jamrock]

If he leaves fuck him, he's offered us basically nothing for the price we paid, except a 6th CL.

If he stays, good now go injury free.

Unfortunately that is really the most memorable thing he has done for us through out these years in crucial matches, apart from being not available in them so not all that gutted. Hiss behavior also seems childish, so whatever. Problem is that Xavi will just continue the sideline hugging football that almost none of our other players are good at.

 

[utility73]

This is mostly on Xavi, without his insistence this POS wouldn‘t have been with Barça anymore for some time now.

 

[FCBfan22]

If he does this, his career is going down the drain. PSG is a club months from implosion.

But, somehow, I'm not surprised. Let's see what happens today.
