Not of it means we have to wait till the end of Jan we can’t. 

Money wins. It's the ultimate kicker in these situations. There is not "can't" 

[M4]

For the time being most of the better quality players we could attract are going to have some form of baggage.

 

But Dembele would be an absolute nightmare. In any case, not too concerned that te'd fancy coming here anyway.

[GeordieDazzler]

Not sure Barca are in the position to be demanding 50m esp with his disciplinary issues

Putting a ridiculous price tag on someone who can sign a pre contract isnt a very clever way to stop a player leaving for free.

Barcelona aren't very clever with money

Yeap especially with their financial troubles. "OK then I will just rot on the bench for 6 months collecting my wages then leave for free"

I think Ramsey has been mostly available this season, just hasn’t played much. Saw him for Wales recently and he was very good.

 

If managed properly injury wise he could be excellent for us. 150k a week is a huge drop from what he’s on right now.

 

How do you manage an injury prone player injury wise?

Personal life

Dembélé is a supporter of Premier League club Leeds United.[59]

 

In July 2021, Dembélé was embroiled in a racism controversy, when video footage of Dembélé along with fellow teammate Antoine Griezmanncirculated online, whereby he was seen making derogatory racial comments against the Asian technicians in their hotel room.[60] As the technicians appeared to be troubleshooting the room's television, Dembélé made comments towards Griezmann in French, stating "All these ugly faces, just so you can play PES, aren't you ashamed?", continuing with "What the fuckin language?" before zooming in while laughing on one of the technicians faces, mentioning "Are you technologically advanced in your country or not?".[61][62][63][64]

 

 

Supporting Leeds ffs.

 

This post deserves more appreciation

Just sit back and enjoy it man. It was a whole lot worse when we were linked with no fucker and no hope of signing anyone. I’m loving seeing all the stories.

[NWMag]

I still sometimes have to take a minute to actually get my head around how we have gone from one end of the spectrum to the other, money wise. Crazy

I'm starting to remember what it was like before when we were linked to higher calibre players.

 

It was a rollercoaster and generally not a fun one  but at least we did sign people then.

 

It's going to take time and a lot of counselling to shift Fatboy's stink unfortunately.

[Paullow]

I've not been a man of many posts during my 9 and a half years on this forum, but I've been browsing it constantly recently, and it's so good to actually care again, and even though most will likely be b*llocks, it's exciting to see who we are linked with next, as opposed to a late XYZ loan bid, if lucky, on January 31st.

[Ronson333]

Enjoy it lads, remember when we sold Carroll in January to Liverpool, and we brought in Kuqi on a free ?

[RS]

We’ll be used by people like that Dick Emery for improved contracts.

it gets worse I’ve just watched an interview on Barcelona’s YouTube Channel and he has said his favourite artist is Pitbull.

[Billy Pilgrim]

I gotta be honest like, every time I have seen Dembele play in the last few years he has been absolutely hopeless. A full on Obertan. I’m not gonna say no like but all the same seems high risk.  

[Pokerprince2004]

Who is the Barcelona fan on here again? Would love to hear the thoughts of someone who has watched him regularly. Dembele seems to be so highly rated but agree with the post above, always looked poor when I've seen him (although not much since Sky lost Spanish rights)

I assumed when he went there it would be a case of him not fitting a team with so much possession, opponents really deep very well. Thought he'd be better suited to a team who usually try to transition quick from deep and leave him space to move into in behind 

[Jaqen]

Dembele's problems seem to be alot more with motivation, attitude and injuries than ability. He's definitely a quality player when he's on form.

 

Agent is reportedly asking for daft money, trying to get him 40m contract a year. He's axctining but could turn into a really expensive flop for whoever gets him. 

 

[Chris_R]

Sorry, £40m a year? Fuck off.

 

That's £770k/week, that's Messi money, and he doesn't have that pedigree. If he's after even a quarter of that we should slam the phone down and move on. There's about 4 or 5 players in the world I'd think should be able to ask that sort of money and he's not one of them, not by a long way.

[Zero]

I won’t be surprised if we are the one that guarantee him 40m a year hence he is asking for the same from Barca
