I saw glimpses and the odd game when he was at Dortmund and he looked to always be on the fringes of a game, then may burst through with his pace, which is excellent but never really had the end product. You could see the talent as he was young, dynamic and exciting. He looked good at Dortmund.
The money for the Barca move shocked me, i thought it was way too high for what was essentially, just raw potential.
I watch Barca now and then and i have to say, every time i've seen Dembele he looks average. Poor touch, poor control, poor decision making, inability to see a pass. He just looks like a very limited footballer. He doesnt use his pace, doesnt link up with teammates and you can really see his team mates frustrations with him. Given his injury record and apparent off field issue's, i'm struggling to see why he is still so sought after, especially by UTD fans?
As a UTD fan, i want quality additions here but this guy for this money would be one of the worst transfer negotiations we could possibly entertain. He'd blow practically all of whatever budget we have and he isn't worth it
