Ousmane Dembélé

[serghei]

Good thing we loaned Coutinho for free almost. What a bunch of idiots. The whole lot of them. Our board and technical staff must be one of the worst among all the elite clubs.

List of players who have CLEARLY improved at City under Pep:

-Kyle Walker
-Sterling
-Gundogan
-Aguero
-Zinchecko
-Laporte
-Kevin De Bruyne
-Leroy Sane
-Bernado Silva
-Fernandinho
-Ederson
-Otamendi
-Phil Foden
-Riyad Mahrez
-Gabriel Jesus (very limited player but still improved under Pep)

Flops:
-Nolito
-Mendy (so far)
-Danilo
-John Stones (so far)

----

Players improved under Valverde:

-Lenglet (?)
-Alba
-MAtS

Flops:

-Malcom
-Coutinho
-Paulinho
-Semedo (so far)
-Deulofeu
-Mina
-Dembele (so far)
-Murillo
-KPB
-Alena (so far)

Is Gundogan better than at Dortmund?
Is Aguero better than before?
Scored 32 and 30 goals under Pep per season.
Scored 33, 32 and 29 in 3 seasons before Pep.
Mahrez, won a title with a crappy Leicester, scoring 17 goals.
How on Earth has he improved under Pep?

Btw, one more interesting thing: Pep is buying majority of his players.
So, he is usually buying YOUNG players and who fit a needed profile.

Yet, at Barca, a board and a sporting director is picking Dembeles, Malcoms and similar.
If a manager is picking players for transfers, it is less likely that they will flop.

Imagine if Pep came here and Barca randomly sign Neymar, Dembele and Malcom while he asked for let's say Rodri.

Again, EV sucks.
But you guys are mulitplying it for 10 times.

Interesting that both 2 best coaches in the world: Pep and Klopp are in EPL.
And they are both allowed to BUY players whom they want.
Also, majority of their core players are YOUNG players whom THEY picked.
So, players are:
1. young
2. have potential
3. have a perfect profile

Klopp bought:
2015:
24 years old Firmino
2016:
24 years old Mane
26 years old Wijnaldum
2017:
25 years old Salah
23 years old Robertson
27 years old Van Dijk

So:
1. he is picking players for his system
2. he is buying young players, but not too young, like Barca: Dembele 20, Malcom 21 etc.
He is buying more in a range of 23-26 years.

At Barca, EV doesn't know whether we will lose Dembele, Coutinho, Raki, Vidal or Semedo in order to get Neymar, whom nobody wants except Barto.
Again, EV sucks.
But don't you think that it is the same to work and build a team at Barca where Barto is buying random Galactico signings (and Robert is buying crappy 22 year olds from Valencia), or at City and Liverpool where you can buy whom you want and you get a 3-4-5 years long contract?

Maybe Valverde's staff is as bad as he is as a manager. We probably don't do enough physical training and too much of our sessions is exercises with the ball. He wasn't injured that much at Dortmund.

Could be a possibility. Valverde just gave the squad 3 days off after that pitiful performance against Bilbao.

There was also an interview ahead of last years CL game against Inter where Spalletti said he was shocked by Barca's preparations for their games, and Inter would lose all their games 18-0 if they prepared the same way.

Seems like the old guard have lost their hunger and like Valverde because he gives them an easy schedule that lets them spend more time with their families.

BBZ, Barto and Valverde are like a malignant tumor that keeps growing and growing until the pacient is dead. A president who knows very little about football in general, and a spineless clown as a manager who can't make a Barca team play proper football.

 

[messi2140]

This injury is just one too many times for me. He is getting sold at the end of the summer or he will be loaned out in those garbage deals Barca specializes in , until his contract runs out.

This guy. This effin guy. Quickly turning in to the player I despise the most in the whole squad.

Yep. Makes sense that the veterans, who want an easier time at this stage in their career, like Valverde.

 

[te amo barca]

The fate itself tells EV to play his favorite 4-4-2 with Griez and Messi in attack, lol.

What if Messi is unfit for Betis?

Rafinha-Griezmann-Roberto

Busi Raki De Jong

Vidal, Alena and Arthur off the bench. Maybe Perez. Suddenly we look so thin.

If this was Setien's Betis on a good day they would spank us next Sunday.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Unbelievable. I guess this guy is done.. Should have swapped him two weeks ago for Neymar. Too late now.

 

[MagIX]

I can't believe it.

Please, please close definitely the worst-the most ridiculous-the most shameful chapter (title: 300mio thrown in the toilet) in the barca history: please after loaning Coutinho, pls sell/loan Dembele.

 

[ronniecro]

this was supposed to be a season where he'd show full potential. well,next season it is...future b'dor winner

 

[vlad]

Haha, what a joke for a player, who will buy him from barca and offer him similar wages


Nobody.


Barca have worst board of all top clubs by far, 300m for 2 players, both turn into flops
