My God Dembele

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.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

Correct. Beast of a player and think its great he's doing so well. You never know, he could come back and play for us again when he's back to our level and about 35 years old.

Someone once asked me, "Why Fulham?".
My response, "Well, lad, you just haven't seen the light yet"

doubt anyone would say anything, as the point of the negativity on here is that he is currently only doing it in a very poor standard league.

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.

Comes on as a second half substitute and scores a hat trick. Couldn't do that with us now could you?

Against that level of opposition he should have got 6.

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
last sentence is hilarious
