Whether that lack of interest also goes for the club, we will see. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid looks like an amazing talent but it's difficult to judge how good he'd be making the step up to a better league. He looks far too good to be in Croatia, though. Haven't seen the lad but your comment brings to mind what I felt about Almiron after watching youtube clips of him in MLS. I said at the time that I did not think he could possibly be as good as he looked in those highlights or he would not still be playing MLS at his age. Almiron was then 23 or 24 I think but the reports say Olmo is 21 so there wouldn't be quite as much cause for suspicion in his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacazette had better numbers in Lyon but is nothing special in England. But not many options available anyway. I guess Werner have other plans. With Dembele I wouldn't be surprised if Tammy keep his place in the starting 11.

But otherwise, he's an inconsistent player - though not without talent - and hasn't really done much since his early Schalke days. he has only had one and half good seasons ever 2012/13 with Schalke, when as an 18/19yo he had a huge breakthrough that led to his being on the 2014 WC winners and then his first half year at PSG (he came in January 2017) other than those 18 months he has been pedestrian at best Atomiswave and OhForAGreavsie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 DRaxler would be such an underwhelming signing. It would be typical of our board. What the fuck will he offer us exactly? Experience? We could def do better on that front if thats what we are after. Now Dembele I get, still young, pacy and all that. I still adament we will once and for all see our ambition in the summer, we will see if the Club has learnt anything these past years.

I seem to remember we were linked with him some years back. Could be a club's target and Lampard is on board with it, rather than a sole target of Lampard.

Werner is at his peak age 26/27 but yeah, I was shocked he was able to score that many! Have been using him as the sole striker too. 3 minutes ago, Vesper said: we can but dream I suppose then wake up to the reality that Alonso is under contract with us until 2023 I'm cautiously optimistic over Werner.

Pizy 18,907 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Not only would Dembele be a weird signing from our perspective (because he's so similar to Tammy) but it would also be weird from his perspective as he wouldn't be first choice. Why would he come here to be a rotation player? We need a Werner/Griezmann/Auba type striker. Not a like for like target man player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
