Funnily, 3 of the mentioned (G?tze, James, Coutinho) were brought in as rivals to Thomas M?ller - and lost...

The Atletic:

Barcelona's well known "Club de Amigos" has given ultimatum to the board to keep Coutinho and instead sell Dembele.
According to the latest news the Brazilian is target of several EPL teams such as Chelsea, Tottenha, Everton and Newcastle Utd.

Sounds fair

 

[Andresito]

He's going to be our midfield "signing".

Sounds fair

How is that fair. Dembele is no pussy. Only an idiot would keep Coutinho and sell Dembele.

One actually isn't injured and actually doesn't spend his time in a hospital 24/7

 

[FC B]

Relax guys, both need to pe shipped off asap.

Exactly.

I agree with that. We don't need anyone of them.

From all players on loan Setien wants Coutinho back. Like thdy want to do everything what we won't

 

[FC B]

I agree with that. We don't need anyone of them.

Observing that is the easy part. Problematic is how Barca gets rid of both of them each with it's own set of particular problems.

I don't know if I'm naive and hopelessly optimistic. But is there anyone else who still believes, or at least hopes, that he can become a good CM for us with a coach that wants him there? Kind of like the transformation that KDB and Silva have gone through.

 

[Barcilliant]

Dembele over Coutinho anyday. Coutinho is so fragile mentally and hides when the going gets tough. Reminds me so much of Mesut
Ozil.
Dembele has the physical gifts and a higher ceiling.

I wouldnt mind him coming back and getting a shot in the midfield. He was class for us when he first signed.

I just don’t want him coming back to play LW. If that’s the case then sell for sure.

he doesn't have the qualities to be a barcelona CM, maybe in england he can be that where players get more time and space on the pitch to operate. needs too many touches of the ball before he decides what to do with it and plays with his head down most of the time and as others said, mentally weak. setien just keeps saying he want him because if he said the opposite his price would go even lower.
