11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

[Devils]

He won't hit form for awhile, give the guy a break.

1) He never had pre-season
2) He was injured for 3.5 months
3) He hasn't played consistent football since May 2017
4) He's basically been out of football for 7 months and will take him awhile to hit full stride. That is a very long time to be absent.

He doesn't need to prove anything as much as people need to have some patience with him.

Yeah I have zero expectations for him this season. When they were showing him on the bench next to Mascherano he looks soooo young (and rightly so because he is). I suspect we’ll see glimpses of greatness and stinkers. Just have to nurture him.

 

[Yannik]

bit disappointed he came in so late, would've liked to see more of him than just 20 mins. He only had a few touches there and couldn't already produce some of his magic with them. Still a special day for him, he's finally back on the pitch. Maybe he'll even have a start next week or the one after.

Some players just display their talent immediately and others need time to find their groove.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Guy needs time. He was out for a injury and had no preseason due strike and transfer saga.

 

[MessiCam]

He tries to do too much with his first touch. It's been evident since the beginning... Not a train smash though.

who cares. its good to have someone with pace

 

[Messi983]

Sell him and give a chance to Arda and Deulofeu!

 

[MessiTHEgoat]

you'll give a player some time to show what he's got, but we bought him to improve barca immediately as a whole not the other way around, this is a 150M signing.
not some talent for a mere 10m or 20m (jesus was for 30m, asensio was for 3.5m ect) ... barca last bid for coutinho in the summer was 112£m (80m + 32m unrealistic addons such as winning the bdr, ect) plus he'll marketable (since he's a brazilian)

mbappé proved his worth at the biggest stage against bayern twice, outperforming neymar sometimes, and he was just 18 years old. and he's already considered best 10 players in the world.

it's fair to give OD some time to adabt but if he didn't make some improvement to the team this season i'll be increadibly disappointed. i hope he'll thought.

 

[Kohe321]

My knee tells me we should sell him based on these 20 minutes against Celta.

It is clear he just doesn’t have it.

 

[vlad]

Already flop, shit, 150m goes into wind

 

[Messi983]

Would be a better investment if Barça would buy me for 150€.

I would also play for free.

 

[dostoevskij]

considering the missing pre-season, long injury at the start of his season etc i was actually impressed by him. yes failed passes, missed dribblings, but you could sense he has the magic every time he got near to the ball, celta defenders also felt it. and i love this fast and accurate one two passes he made with denis, busquets etc.

 

[MIXA]

Seemed like he wanted to do way too much. It's probably best for him to keep it simple for a while. No need for him to take on the burden of winning the game. The King will take care of that in the return leg

Bad influences, need to keep him by Messi's and Iniesta's side at all times.
