He was good for us, to be honest.
And look at who he was playing against
I think he can do that all day playing in the County League. But I will be interested to see if he makes it in a better league. I was not such a great fan of his as others are. We could have done with him now however.
Yeah forget it was against L1 standard opposition.. at best and one goal was a penalty
Quote from: JoelH5 on February 05, 2017, 04:04:41 PM
and one goal was a penalty
Yeah, penalties are pretty much guaranteed goals.
Dembele is always going to score goals wherever he goes. He's strong, can sniff out chances in the 6 yard box, and scores with both feet and his head...and he's still young. Obviously would score less in the Premiership compared with the Scottish League but he would still cut it. I could never understand the criticism of him on this Board, (and there was a lot).
Could we have kept him? He, and his agent, wanted to go so he refused our contract. It's not so easy to keep players out of contract as some think. Could we have given him a better contract?...obviously yes but he still would have gone, probably. Got to remember, as well, that he walked from Paris St. Germaine when his contract expired to come to us.
The inequitable thing is the paucity of the "development" compensation fee for players that have been developed by clubs but who then walk on. A share of future transfer fees would be fairer and would encourage smaller clubs to develop more players.

Whereas our strikers are playing against a Birmingham pub side who hadn't won in 10 . How many did they get yesterday, please remind me ? Dembele is now being touted as a 40million striker, but what do they know eh, after all we are the experts, we watched him a few times when he was 18 against Rotherham & co.
Why do the people who continually dig out Dembele remind me so much of the remoaners ? Move on, we lost him, history.
Interesting to see people have digs at Dembele. I suppose you're happier with Chris Martin on loan?
He has made an excellent move - banging in goals in an average league but at a club with far much more profile than Fulham and bigger clubs already sniffing around him.
Dembele is the op's God? I've heard of player worship, but this is taking it too far:)
He was very good for us though, and his goals helped keep us up.
Young dembele,a real talent i said it when he was here.But a young man that has and belives in his ability backed up by his management team.
As a fulham die hard not happy when he went,but to him and his team its business,long gone days of mr haynes.
I missed this match but have watched two or three Celtic matches with him on the pitch. I believe that the SPL has made him. He was always strong, but now he's much more capable of taking the physical pressure. He's also extremely confident which is, of course, the most important thing for a striker.
One full season of getting the lumps kicked out of him in Scotland should be a good step on a very good career.
I'm pleased he's doing well. He never did anything to offend me.

What a weird thing to say, the op asked why dembele couldn't score a hat trick for us. And the only reason he didn't, was because we didn't play teams of St Johnstones quality last season. And I agree, our Derby striker is p1ss poor, and we would be better off with dembele. Doesn't negate how poor a league the spl is though does it, I mean there can't be too many times in any league throughout the history of football that a team has a 27 point lead after just 24 games.

Not really. People here will always find an excuse to knock him. Cauley Woodrow went to Southend Div 2 and scored twice I think in 20 odd games, before he was sent back, people cry we never gave him a chance, when he was naff. Whereas when dembele decides that Fulham is a mess and he's better off somewhere else, its just too bitter a pill to swallow for some. He could score a hatrick in a CL final, and some would still be looking at the negatives. His potential is enormous, he's imroving week by week and give him 2-3 more yrs and I wouldnt be surprised if he's not one of the top 5 strikers in the world. Are we allowed to say that yet, because he's only playing in Scotland ? Donut.
Quote from: Statto on February 06, 2017, 12:25:08 AM
I don't think Dembele will ever by anywhere near the top 5 strikers in the world--he'd already have to be a lot better than he is now--but he may well be the next Benteke or Lukaku if he's lucky.
The story I've heard, from another poster on here as it happens, is that he spat his dummy out when we didn't offer the contract he thought he deserved the season before he broke into the first team and decided thereafter he'd never accept anything we offered him. Since I heard that it crossed my mind he may have gone to foreign club, meaning we got no compensation, just to spite us. That being the case, I'd just like to see him crash and burn. Or just get snapped in his next match.

not good.
As it happens it was our choice not take some money and sell him to spurs last January.
Wishing a player and one of our ex ones to get crocked is low. I'd expect better from you.

Very fair summary.
Think some of you are belittling what the lad is doing just because he playing in spl,your forgetting how many he achieved in his first full season with us.
Good natural scorers get goals anywhere(got nowt to do with where he playing now) just look at Joel Garner at Rangers how many he get for Preston last few seasons, he has got 3 for Rangers,and he more experienced than Moussa.
Joey Barton and Windass were going to storm that league,Barton never got a kick in the games he played for Rangers and Windass can't get on bench.Celtic are miles ahead of the rest and that if any makes it slightly easier for Dembele,would he have scored 12-15 which he has now playing for Ross County?
I think Fergie is a person who doesn't rate players too high as he liked to keep their feet on the ground,he has said he believes Dembele is like Keegan was at his age,a top player.
When someone leaves a club as dembele did I know a few is decided at tribunal, and a nominal figure, is this normally a flat figure? Of course I expect there will be an initial amount but has there ever been an example where the original club are entitled to a cut of any future sale?
I would assume it's unlikely but just wondered?
You know a couple of years ago I rated Cauley as a better prospect than Dembele , anyone else prepared to admit to such an error of judgement.
Back to back hatricks. Good lad.
Still struggle to care. I can't even feel glad an ex Fulham player is doing well. He is playing in a standard of football that is third tier if not worse if he played in England surrounded in a Prem quality team.
That's Sunday morning football for you.

I think Dembele is a good player and he could turn out to be a DECENT striker at Premier League level. But let's put this into perspective Kris Commons - an overweight midfieler finished top scorer in the SPL with 27 goals a few seasons back.
The season before that was Michael Higdon with 26. Who couldnt get a game for Tranmere last season and is now plying his trade in the Welsh league. It just shows the gulf in class between EPL/Championship and the SPL.

No comparison. Dembele is 20. Has scored 26 goals and still has more than 10 games left till the end of the season. Not once were Commons or Higdon ever suggested as being on the brink of a move to Chelsea or be worth 40 million, or be drawing plaudits from top European sides and their managers. That for me puts it into perspective.

I did say he could make it in the Premier League. My point was he is scoring goals for fun against teams that are League One standard, at best. When he does move to Premier League - assuming it's not another league - I cannot see him reaching the heights of Lukaku, for example, and being one the best in the Prem.

Chelsea rumour about Dembele is absolute nonsense
People seem to think he's still 16. He's 21 in a few months. These days most players have reached 80-90% of their potential by that age. The likes of Messi and Ronaldo (the original) had won world player of year awards by now. So he's never in a million years going to be on that top level playing for a club like Chelsea.
Cyriac showed a better first touch on his home debut today than I ever saw from Dembele, so I think becoming as good as Cyriac would be a more reasonable goal for Moussa

15, 18, 23, 42,43, 52.
Are you going to get your mum to buy you a ticket ?
Dembele is going to be a very good player. I thought his move to Celtic made sense as he gets to play under a pretty good manager in Rodgers, he'll score 35 goals in a season against poor opposition with good service and ultimately get a lot of attention from the big teams as the SPL has more coverage than the Championship sadly. Despite the fact that SPL is miles below the calibre of the C'ship.
If you've watched the highlights from today you'll see the the defending and keeping was comical.
An unmarked side foot in the box and a unmarked header in the six yard box. Nothing special
I thought that last season Dembele was over rated but I really wish he was still with us. With his goals we would be comfortably in the top six.
Or if we had scored from all our penalties.

I can't believe the sports pages of the Daily Mirror would ever contain information that isn't entirely true ... but he wont move anywhere for that kind of money. If an unproven Ade Lookman is worth £10m the maybe someone will be muggy enough to pay £15m. If that's a top English, German or Spanish club he'll be found out and disappear into obscurity within 1-2 yrs. but he's already shown how much he loves a pound note more than a challenge so he'll probably go to another big club in a weak league, like PSG or maybe even China. Happy to have a wager with you on any of the foregoing.
No problem. I'll have a wager with you. I reckon his next move is for 20million + and to a top European side. You reckon he'll be playing for someone like Shenzhen Jianlibao. 50 quid should do it?
As for the fact that he chases the pound note, I doubt very much he is on that much more at Celtic than we offered him, its just he had a sensible agent who wanted him on the worlds stage, not at our then shambles run by Arthur Daley's Bumpers plc.
Anyway, after you've eaten humble pie , if next season you just put 50 notes of credit behind the hot dog stand below the JH stand, that should keep my fat @ rse going till xmas. I appreciate it, thanks.

no, i would of loved him to stay, just saying the spl is probably the weakest it has been in my lifetime. 76 points off of 26 games, and 24 points clear already.
Agreed, that league is a total waste of time, he would have been better off staying with FFC and so would we! I might post a thread in the morning about Dembele and FFC, see how I feel (lol)!
This is becoming like a feckin soap opera.

Only a brace today. Should have got 10 in that pony league. One was a 25 yarder, cant believe he didnt hit it from 35. Useless.
just so i know, are you going to post every time he scores and/or gets linked with a big club? because celtic have won 21 games on the spin and i've been reading reports linking him with big clubs for a good 3yrs now. so it's well past boring. i've refrained from ignoring any poster on this forum thus far on the basis that even the dullest person might say something interesting once in a while but i think you might actually justify it. let me know. tks
That's great Statto, thanks for letting me know your feelings. As you are unable to use the shift key during sentences, thus preventing you from using CAPITAL letters at the start of a sentence, I can only assume that you are either at a very advanced stage of anger about the great Dembele's move from Fulham, or that you have a broken keyboard ?
The latter I think could be the issue, as you are clearly very intelligent, but unfortunately do not have the money to replace it, which is why you have failed to acknowledge my 50 pound bet, or even accept my hot dog challenge !
Now, the timing of your post ( 12:30am ) suggests that you are probably drunk, and your punctuation suggests that you are probably quite young, so I can only make the assumption that Drunk + Young = Skint ? If this is the case, don't worry my friend, because the timing of my post ( 6:30am ) , suggests that I am sober and probably a lot older than you, so you must assume that Sober + Older + Dull = Financially Stable. Therefore, please don't worry about my 50 quid or my hot dogs, as it clearly is putting a lot of pressure on you. In the meantime just use your pennies wisely and concentrate on paYing bAck yOUr StuDent Loan, For WHicH i MigHt Add, You sHould Get A rEfund.

Blimey, I always thought Drunk + Young actually = Happy.
Whereas, Sober + Older + Dull = I wish I was Drunk Young and Happy again.
As for Dembelle, well that's Sunday morning football for you.
Statto just incase you were getting Dembele withdrawals me old mate, another double last night making it 31 for the season and 11 in his last 5 games.
Check his first goal out in these highlights, how you can say that is a poor league is beyond me !!

Good luck to him if he is but at the moment he is playing in a poor league and scoring for fun. But to be honest he left us, we did not sell him or kick him out. He was never going to be our player and it was his choice. We don't know what happened behind the scenes and I have a suspicion that Celtic got his signature as they paid the bigger signing on fee.
So if he is banging in goals with one of the big clubs I will just be proud that he came through the Fulham academy and I saw him play for U18's.

I see the anti-Fulham thread is still going strong...
and MJG nice to see you still punctuate your generally reasonable posts with the odd one that's completely ridiculous
Some see it as anti Fulham , others aren't as bitter and are just showing a genuine interest in a player that will eventually be recognised as our greatest ever former academy player. Some also don't see it being ridiculous the fact he will soon be playing for a top European side. Whereas some feel it is ridiculous placing Cyriac on a higher level. Time will tell who is correct.

hold on, hold on... Let's be clear: Dembele does not have a good touch. Yes he's moderately fast, moderately strong, a half-decent finisher. He scored 15 goals in this league, the same as Chris Martin, which is about right. A decent championship striker. But he was nothing special and his touch was bloody awful. If you think otherwise I can only assume you didn't go to games last year (which you could be forgiven for).
The boy is having another good year and clearly isn't terrible. But in a team that's won 26 out of 27 games and averages 3 goals per game. A little perspective please
in any case he's still a to$$er

Something just has to be wrong with the transfer system whe a player can leave us on a free and then after half a season in Scotland carries a price tag of millions.
That's Sunday morning football for you. ⚽
