Dembele is simply world class

[Berserker]

He was just fantastic today, and it's going to make the next week that much more agonizing.

And I hate to say it, but as others have pointed out, this makes Dempsey look like a bum.

I think they are different type's of players, and I still love dempsey as much as Dembele

No, actually it don't mate. Different players, different styles, different positions. With Dempsey on the pitch today, 3-3.  We need every piece of the puzzle. Dembele was boss today, but how many goals did he score ??  That's not a pejorative but to point out the missing ingredient.

i think dembele needs to add goals to his cv to become world class

Agreed. I remember Dempsey was quoted as saying dembele was the most talented player he ever played with but until he can put the ball in the net on a regular basis I can't call him world class yet. Just can't. Sometimes he still has a tendency to dazzle to deceive. Lack of finishing is what he still needs and that's it. He has all the other tools.

Puts Dempsey to shame with how he tries to engineer dream move. Virtuoso performance away at Old Trafford versus sitting at home sulking.

In a way Dembeles way may hurt us more as a club in the long run than dempseys though if you think about it.

I actually got to see MOTD today and was interested to see that they thought Dembele rather than Kagawa was man of the match.   :scarf:
Unfortunately they also observed, probably correctly, that Fulham would struggle to hang on to him this season.   :dft004:

I think I saw O' Red Nose reaching for his check book after that stoppage time shot by Moose. He was clearly the best midfielder on the pitch.

I don't think that gives enough credit to Kagawa. Without him today, we'd have won, I'm sure.

If Moussa had suited up in red today, I suspect he'd have been in for Cleverley or Anderson, not Kagawa.  And we'd have likely seen even less of the ball.

I agree AG and a Kagawa/Dembele partnership would be better midfield than anyone Sir Alex can put currently partner Kagawa with in my opinion.  I hate that thought and will be waiting for the witching hour to pass hoping that Dembele is still in white.

I was ridiculed last season when I said dembele was messi like, but he is a world class player, and getting better and better.... He will go, and I for one will be gutted, as I just love watching him run with the ball!

Was referring to Dembele's conduct vs Dempsey's in a potential transfer situation, not their playstyle/skill.  Obviously, they are not the same as players.
