Moussa Dembélé

I would happy to see Meireles leave to make room for Dembele. Moussa would be perfect alongside Mikel and great value for money.

Going to be extremely annoyed when he's a Spurs player come Saturday.

I was never too sure about him but yesterday convinced me that he's an exceptional player and should be playing at a bigger club. He showed so much yesterday. Great control. pace, strength, dribbling ability ... I knew he was good but i was more than impressed in what i saw yesterday. Absolute beastage performance.

Dembélé is barely an attacking player anymore, I would class him as a Box-To-Box midfielder.

Then maybe, but Witsel is still better for my taste. Bit more strong (tall) and has great positioning.

[Jase 43,479]

Dembele is a creative deep lying playmaker. Just brilliant at dribbling with the ball as well

He's more of a player that likes to get forward a lot. How is he gonna be suitable for our double pivot role when people are already complaining Lampard getting forward far too often when being played there?!

I was impressed with his performance at Old Trafford as well. However one lifelong Fulham supporter told me that Dembele is brilliant everywhere outside the box. Apparently once he is inside the box, he loses the magic.

Belgium golden generation. WOW!

I have feeling this team will be at least in semis next euro. 8 starters plays in england + 2 on bench and possibility that Mertens, Witsel and Alderveireld might join bigger leagues very soon. Fantastic team, reminds me bit on Holland from 2004 when their whole team was world class.

I thought he was a winger lol ?

This is incorrect. He's very disciplined and will stay back if he's required to. He only went forward more vs. United when Sidwell replaced Kacaniklic, giving Dembele more licence to roam (Much like when Yaya Toure is free'd at City). Besides, his defensive game is on a different level to Lampard's.

To be honest they could suprise a lot of people at the 2014 WC. They are so talented and will only get better. They could be the next powerhouse. Belgium will probably go into the next Euros as Favourites.

Me too. They may end up with several players I rate and wouldn't mind having here. Damiao, Dembele, and M'Vila.

Fuck Spuds. Fuck AVB.

If you watched him play last season he did this alot when put back into midfield.It annoys me when i hear people say they want M'vila,Tiote etc.Why when Dembele defensive ability (stats prove this) is better than there's and he has superior technical ability and the ability to dribble past players.

[iamjack 8]

In modern football, especially for a team using full bakcs, the defensive role isn't handed to the last player you haven't yet added on the game sheet... I mean he has to be a good defender on 1vs1 but he has to have a tactical understanding and a way to regain the ball with interceptions etc... Dembele hasn't this tactical part.

He can dribble players, well that's cool, he's quick with the ball and the ball is glued to his foot. But I'm not impressed by his last choices, especially in the last tier. He's not that creative, doesn't create that much goalscoring chances.

He's efficient to carry the ball up but he cannot shot, he cannot score, barely makes a huge difference in the build up of goals

You've more complete defensive midfielders (with the so important tactical part), better "box to box" (more decisive in their choices in the last tier). I don't see any role where he could be outstanding for a club like Chelsea.

I mean we cannot just be satisfied with the ability to carry the ball forward and eliminate players.

The massive difference with Ramires is Ramires' accuracy in the last tier, his passing quality and especially his creative passing in the last tier is soo underrated. Ramires has the ability to score important goals, he can make the difference with a pass. Dembele can't

Agree in the final third his lack of end product is poor he doesn't get a high number of assists or goals and his final ball can be poor.I actually think his shooting isn't poor or he is wastefull its more of a case that he doesn't shoot enough he ends up passing it to someone else.I would still buy him imo i'd like him in the 2 with Mikel portecting the back 4 i think he could do a good job there.

Rate dembele very highly! Such a talented guy! Would slip into our midfield perfectly! Goes past people like they aint even there! But mikel is nailed on in midfield for some reason!!! Which is annoying so dun think itl happen!
