How do we know he wasn't training (cardio, etc) in the off season privately? You would expect professional footballers to stay in shape.
Ousmane Dembele - Barcelona Player
- Thread starter ti vu
- Start date
What's wrong with you and so many others on this forum? Are you searching for something to be mad about because your life is so boring?
You're the one looking mad here.
I think it's more just a case of not being an arsehole that celebrates when a player gets injured.
If you think my post states that I'm celebrating a players injury, well then as I said, you must be very bored and looking for the least thing to be mad about.
I've always wondered about this. Matic trained alone and doesn't seem to have had any issues, although that's a slightly different case.

Honestly not bored with one single aspect of my life, nor am I mad about it. More just wondering why someone would revel in a clubs recent misfortune that centers entirely around the injury of a talented young player I'm sure the majority of us would rather see.
So if somebody in real life, say a United fan at work said to you something funny about Barca's misfortune, as that's what football fans do, have a bit if banter, you would be the douche you are being now and accuse them of celebrating a players injury like they are some kind of sick asshole?
If so, I deeply feel sorry for people you're around on a daily basis.
I'd say "bit harsh laughing at them because the boy got injured no?"
Don't worry, the people around me on a daily basis do just fine.
Well for the record, I in no way or form would ever celebrate a players injury. I was just having a light hearted jest at Barca's luck. Its amazing that so many people in these threads have to justify themselves time after time.
I'm probably just a tad more moralistic than you and think it's bad taste to laugh at their misfortune when it's due to an injury. It's a shame for the lad, and now we are both stuck watching an Everton bench warmer playing every week for barca instead of one of the brightest prospects in the world.
Wonder whether they'll go in for countinho in the Jan window
I don't wish injury or pain on anyone, but this is mildly amusing. I assume he's not writhing in agony while collecting his millions of euros, so no qualms morally.
You can't expect me not to have a cheeky sarcastic dig when you've came to the conclusion that my life's boring and the people around me must suffer because I told someone on the internet that they shouldn't celebrate a clubs misfortune relating to an injured player?Yeah that must be it.
Fecking hell.
Bummer for Barca and the kid.
He's young, his body will fully recover I am sure about it. Just hope they don't try to rush him back.
puts Pogba injury into perspective
Well he's a winger who relies a lot on pace, so his hamstrings are probably his most important muscles. Now that they're buggered with a very serious injury, there's also a chance that they'll be chronically affected. Here's to hoping that one of the most expensive and on paper promising young players in the world ends up on the scrap heap and ends up an injury prone flop! Couldn't have happened to a nicer club.

I make the people around me miserable, and I'm proud of it!
How do you even get out of bed in the morning, when you are upset about the feeling of other people about a young multi-millionaire that suffered a self-inflicted muslce injury, because he acted like an unprofessional dick. That ranks at around 47.342.567 on the "bad things that happened to people today"-scale.
You're right. I should just stay there. What a senseless moron I am.How do you even get out of bed in the morning, when you are upset about the feeling of other people about a young multi-millionaire that suffered a self-inflicted muslce injury, because he acted like an unprofessional dick.

Clever, I would never have expected white text to appear there.Well he's a winger who relies a lot on pace, so his hamstrings are probably his most important muscles.

You also wouldn't expect a professional footballer to strike because you want to leave the club and see what happened
My professional opinion is that either you're a bit grumpy, or you've suffered a serious injury in the past and are transferring that frustration onto the Dembele thread in a United forum. Relax, I won't charge you anything for this opinion.
On the subject of players at other/ rival clubs getting injured and how I feel about it: I either feel indifferent about it if it's a player/ club I don't care about, or I feel very positive about it if it's a rival club. If we are in a title run in with City, and de Bruyne pulls his hamstring with 10 games remaining, I'm gonna be a happy guy. I won't give two s*its about the public being denied seeing a talented young player, or the future well being of that player etc. The only reason I might feel a pang of sympathy is if the player has been the recipient of an ugly challenge and has suffered a horrible injury. Even then, it'll be a pang, and if it's for a club that's rivaling us, bottom line is I'll be happy about it.
Thank god you're not.Also, my thoughts and prayers are with Dembele.
That Wembley curse really sucks.

Gutted for the lad,
Not losing any sleep over Barca missfortune though, play acting cnuts

Dembele will be just fine. 3 months ain't that bad when it's this early in the season.
Same kid who refused to show up in training for Dortmund? I might cry for him tonight.
I am sorry i can't feel any feel pity for a player who downed tools and made mockery of a club who has made him what he is.(You think dortmund fans will be feeling sad right now? Didn't think you'd say yes) Ronaldo stayed with us a year and gave his all, whereas Di Maria the pu$$y used us to get his dream move. I'll have a permanent grin on my face if we met PSG in the knockouts and we took him out for the rest of the season. I also feel no pity for a club whose pastime is to turn the heads of players without respecting the host club - case in point statements made by Barcelona concerning Coutinho. I hope 5 of their best first team players join him on the treatment table so hopefully we can get one of UEFA's favorite babies out of the champs league before they are fit again. My opinion and i owe no one explanations.
Just so devastated for Barca. Lol
Dortmund fans probably having a giggle
The statements Barca made about Coutinho were "we'd like to sign this player so we are going to try to do that". What's wrong with that? Isn't that how you are supposed to sign a player, by making a deal with the club before the player? As soon as English news companies revealed that we were in for him, what else could be done? It's already public knowledge at that point.
So, appearantly Dembele could have had already musular problems in the last training and warm up before the match as there is footage of him clutching his thigh repeatily.
Aside from the fact, that Dembele himself would have been wise to listen to his body more, how exactly was that not seen by Barca´s staff? I don´t know how the warmup program of Barca looks like but ours is strictly planned and monitored by multiple coaches, especially to catch such things that could risk injuries. Given that Dembele missed two of the most vital training weeks of the season, they should have watched him with hawk eyes.
That Valverde also blames Dembele´s inexperience as player for the movement that caused the injury is just icing on the cake. That is now exactly what a boy, who just suffered the first major injury of his career, needs...
I have little love for the spoiled brat, but normally the coach should be the person to protect the player in this kind of a situation and not throw him under the bus in a press conference and make him feel even worse.

I don't know Valverde well enough but it is was a comment I wouldn't have wanted to hear from a coach. It does look like the player & training staff should have identified this issue earlier and perhaps prevented the rupture through treatment/recouperation
Valverde has his work cut out for him early as now they are backing to hurting in terms of width - Arda to return to the rotation?

He missed the whole preseason training.
Was it successful? I don't what kind of injuries Dortmund players had (impact or muscular) but usually Dortmund have lot of players missing due to injuries isn't it?
There is the option on not spending over 100 million for a player that has basically done nothing. I'm not calling it right or wrong but there's definitely a big chance of doing so and one of them is losing out because the risk of injury.
