Ousmane Dembélé

He's pretty horrible let's be real.

In a pep team he doesn't make bench.

But he is ok in our current standards if he works on shooting I would keep him on lower wages.

That is true. It was an unfortunate timing for Trincao as he started gaining confidence and performing.

trying to say Barca does not have much of alternative on the right wing.

All good if Trincao looks more prime time to you.

His pace and unpredictability is consistently unsettling the opposition defences since moving to the middle. Our chance creation is great. Dembele himself is creating chances purely down to his pace. And I must say for all the Dumbele talk, he is very good at playing the offside line.

I think even if he isn't the solution then he is showing the route to the solution.

Think Davids and Luis Garcia in 04.

His transfer fee was absurd and if we try to judge him outside of it, I like what he is bringing. Even if he is at times frustrating.

I do get it though, his stats for a forward are terrible. Those are Jason Roberts kind of numbers (who remembers him? Could play like a man possessed on his day but never score).

Agreed. I think the main issue is that he was bought to replace Neymar and a lot of people on here were hoping for him to be brilliant so they didn't have to admit they missed Neymar because at the time they were angry with how he left.

He can constantly break the offside line and receive a through ball to be 1v1 with the keeper. He is better than most at this. But he can't score most of the times.

Trincao does not seem to have the speed or dribbling ability to go through his defenders. Not to mention his very weak right foot for crossing or a shot.

Not even sure Trincao has a better 1v1 with the keeper.

Not to mention the abundance of world class RW wingers out there with 0 or cheap transfer fee and willing to sign for a cheap salary.

Oh, sorry, glanced over it. Went over my head.

Anyways, I don't think Trincao is the better player, but I like to see him get some minutes. He lacks pace to useful in this setup, but is generally a smart player, thinks quick and has decent technique.

Forget being as good as Neymar...dude can't even pass the ball. Is it just too much to expect our wingers to play like 1st division wingers...?

I think playing Trincao more would be better for many reasons. Demeble tends to become Dumbele whenever he feels his minutes/spot is secure.

Koeman has not played the back ups enough to keep the starters motivated.

Is it a coincidence that he is only now managing to stay fit when his contract is up for renewal? I'm getting suspicious dawg

Random ass nobodies are starting over him for France, he still hasn't developed how to shield the ball correctly and is already 25 soon, I'm surprised how he keeps possession considering how he looks like Mamadou Sakho when he has the ball

Random ass nobodies like Kilian Mbappe, Antoine Griezman and Kingsley Coman?

"[Meslier - U21 French player @ Leeds] FaceTimed me [Patrick Bamford] the other day at midnight, I was in bed, and bear in mind that France are an hour ahead and he's away with the national team.

After the Fulham game, he was like: "I need your shirt please" and I said: "Who for?" and he said: "Dembele, the guy from Barcelona".


"I was like: "What? He wants my shirt?, he said: "Yeah, he wants yours and Kalvin's shirt. He's a massive fan of Leeds, he watches every game".

"I said: "You serious?" and he said: "Yeah", so I said that he has to get me his shirt in return.

Not even making this up.
