Pizy 18,980 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This latest Dembele reporting on Twitter I’m seeing makes zero sense. The entire reason there have even been rumors of him wanting out of Barca is because they cannot afford his wages and want him to take a dramatic pay cut which he didn’t want to do. But now all of a sudden he will accept a pay cut? Will be a massive shame if it’s true because signing him on a free would’ve helped us in a major way. The money saved without a gigantic transfer fee could’ve been used elsewhere in the team. Now we’re probably going to do something stupid like paying £60m for Richarlison instead.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 There isn't anything concrete linking us to Richarlison though. Only Spurs. Which makes me think they are leaking info to edge Spurs into signing him. Dembele can fuck off at this point. Give me Sterling + Broja.

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 De Ligt reminds me of John Terry when he was 21-22 years old pre Roman. Exudes a real presence and leadership mentality and maturity at such a young age, gives off this impression he'll eat you up if you let him. I think his ability on the ball is very similar too, as in it looks like it's there but needs refining. JT for me became every bit as good as the likes of Rio Ferdinand and these other defenders deemed to be 'ball players' without the credit but that part of his game took a while to come together and really blossomed into his later 20's and beyond. JT had the opportunity to learn under the wing of one of the very best in Desailly and De Ligt has had similar schooling from Bonucci and Chiellini, with a further opportunity alongside Thiago Silva if he signs here. If he continues to mature like I hope he will, I think he could end up not just becoming a top centre back but also an obvious leader.

chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 All this Dembele will he or wont he is starting to put me off this deal a lot.. sometimes with players its not all about their skills and talent but also their mentality.. if he were to come here, he would possibly be the top earner here and i'm not really loving that idea.. Kante is an ideal image of a player that earns his status as top earner Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,980 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The best attacker we could turn to if Dembele doesn’t happen is Gnabry if we don’t want to spend £65m on Raphinha but there aren’t any links to him at all. In fact I haven’t really heard anything about him leaving Bayern lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Barcelona latest offer to Dembele is €6m net/year + €1.5m in bonus to player for extension. There won't be any bonus for his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,980 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Speaking of kits, wtf is up with our new ones? They’re normally unveiled during the previous season and worn on the last match day, right? The sanctions ended ages ago now and there have been leaked photos of our shirts for weeks, if not months. What is the club waiting for I wonder? Main kit sponsor isn’t changing so that’s not it.

King Kante 1,643 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Losing zero sleep over Dembele. Expect him to go straight back to the level he was for his first 4.5 seasons at Barca once he has his new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,975 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'm soo glad we aren't getting Dembele.. the Dembele of Dortmund yea but the Barca Dembele is an overhyped fraud. I would really like Richarlison.. think he would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
