No, no, no... he was their player who signed a long-term contract. And all of a sudden wanted to leave, at the end of the window, with no clause included.
It's on Dembele, really. But if Deschamps cared, he should've left him out of the squad.
Them losing Ronaldo is the best thing that can happen to our season. Unless they buy some duo like Kane + Hazard/Neymar. It's not easy to make up for the loss.
Ok. Get it. Won't write you a long response although I intended to. Messi983 put it well.
I wouldn't buy Willian myself for such price, but I believe that sometimes we need impact right now. Quality even if older.
Giving such players 5+ years contracts is something I'm never gonna understand...
You just don't criticize your own players (ones which you chose!) during the big competition. No matter if they are starters or not, players should be treated equally. If it was Rabiot for instance, he'd tell him to fuck off and would pack his bags.
Dembele is mentally weak, this surely is not...
