Conversion of talent to performance, as I said is crap

That's just silly. Silly post.

I can assure you that you will keep saying this until he is 30, he will not amount to much sadly

He should seriously consider leaving this summer. He's not good enough for Barcelona yet but can do wonders somewhere else, like at Arsenal.

Problem is Barca are gonna want big money. Nobody is paying that. Could see Bayern or someone offering 60m. Nothing more.

I'd rather have him than Pogba, but his lack of football intelligence bothers me quite a bit whenever I watch him play for Barcelona. It baffles me that opposing teams don't punish them more often on counters when he attempts to take on a player instead of squaring it to the nearest team mate. Too many times have I watched him waste possession by trying to be a hero, only for the opposing team to pick up the ball and then fail to get it past the halfway line. Then again, I suppose there's a certain degree of expectation from fans, for him to do those things.

He can make a difference with his speed, but I personally don't think his dribbling ability is quite as good as some people make it out to be. He's definitely fast, though. If Zidane can sort Pogba out, he can sort anyone out. We may have had miracle level luck on our side in the CL during his last tenure, but being able to change people is an entirely different matter.

Relax. The guy is a monster, genius player, elite talent.

His problem is surely not "lack fo football intelligence", his big problem right now is getting constantly injured.

If he gets injured every 10 minutes, obviously he's not going to have much of a career.

Fans blaming dembele for this loss should be ashamed. He played what 5 mins total over 180+mins? Might as well blame him for the Roma loss last year as well

"genius player"

He's injured, again. He always plays when fit, and always scores and assists too.

Banter. Don't read too much into it.

That said, he did miss two absolute sitters inside the box in the first leg. Missed the entire goal with his first shot. Would've ended the tie, right there.

no, that accolade goes to gareth bale, and gareth bale alone aka doctor's favorite patient. dr probably is on a first name basis with him; probably even calls him gary

Imagine blaming Dembele for a loss when you play losers like busquets and roberto

Dembele does not lack football intelligence. His problem is constant muscle injuries. If he gets over them, he will be a monster.

Unbelievable.

We didn't deserve the final for that reason alone. Starting with Sergi Roberto in a CL semifinal is a criminal offense.

Only want to mention if he actually scored those couple of sitters in the end of the first leg, we would be through Anyway, next season is going to be deciding year for him, if he stagnant again we would need to let him go, but I still have high hopes for him.

If the other players of your team don't get shotup 0-4 by Liverpool you are through too. What a nonsensical logic.

The kid DID NOT PLAY. He's the only one not to blame.

Forgetting the nonsense about it being his fault regarding the loss to Liverpool... I am somewhat concerned about him. He's not making progress, his lifestyle habits are bad, his training habits are bad AND he doesn't seem to think there's anything he should fix.

For a super talented kid, he needs to start getting his shit together now. He's turning 22 in a week and it's now the time to make his mark... or not.

Honestly with the way Barca was playing, it felt like even had Dembele scored the 4th, Liverpool would've ended up scoring 5.

Ousmane Dembele could go to Bayern for €100m according to Alfredo Martinez (Tier 1)

Congrats Hans

This needs to happen since Barca want to bring in BOTH Neymar and Griezmann.

I endorse this transfer

Dembele joining Bayern will be the Jaime knighting Brienne moment of GL.

Hans has been defending him nonstop from Barca fans and danyjr for the last two years. Will be an incredibly cathartic moment for him

hans is stroking his pecker tonight

yep.

Now let's hope that somewhere down the road, danyjr and Barça fans won't be the ones defending Dembele from hans.
