I tend to agree. He's a solid scorer, will score like 15 in a league season, but not someone one should build a team around, IMO.
He won't carry you to the title.

Even if he's bought, he wouldn't be signed as a tailisman.
If they sign only him, then Bale will be the tailisman or else they'll buy someone else.
Hazard is like Coutinho for RM, not in terms of quality, but in terms of role. I mean to ease the pressure off the team, to create chances & to produce moment of brilliance here and there.

Martial would be great but it would mean Coutinho staying in midfield as Martial prefers the left wing area ..
Imagine a front three of MBappe , Dembele and Martial

A honest question, I mean I get it to some point, but who decides this "potential" part?
Who has measured Dembele's potential so that we can say that he has more potential than a current Willian, even though I can understand where this idea is coming from in Dembele's case.
But for example, Malcom, it is quite brave to say that a kid like him has more potential than Willian, currently the best player of a Brazilian NT team which could easily end as world champions.
So, one guy plays for Bordeaux, but has "a potential".
Never played a big game, never played in a Champions league, never played an NT match, never played on a World cup, never was a key player in a big team in big matches.
The other guy could turn into a World cup winner in 10 days, being a key playmaker.
Whom to buy between those two, hmm?
I know that a word "potential" is by far the most valuable thing in football on our forum, but we need to calm down a little...

Real Madrid plays lottery by buying teenagers while we play lottery by buying almost 30 year olds.
But hey, some folks say our approach is smarter because established players are everything.
We'd better come up with a lot of money, because every team is going to ask for a lot of money from us. Smart approach yeah right.

We might as well add 20m and hijack Juventus' plan and buy Ronaldo. I am all for it. We can finally start making crosses too.

I prefer pretty much anyone playing decently before Willian.
5 Years ago? yes i would have taken Willian.
But now? 80M for an unconsistant 30 year old that doesnt even start half of the games? Insanity.
Dont really like any of the midfielders we have been linked with but would even prefer Pogba over him.
Atleast he has age on his side.
