Actually he will. Probably not so much with the match day squad, but certainly in injury list.Yep. People hoping a player who can't stay fit for 5 minutes will be fit here at Utd. I have seen it all now.

The denial to see the obvious is shocking, if not frustratingYep. People hoping a player who can't stay fit for 5 minutes will be fit here at Utd. I have seen it all now.
I doubt we would buy both because of the money, not because of the competition. We had had Cole, OGS, Yorke and Sheringham and then Ronaldo, Berbatov. Tevez and Rooney competing with each other. It drives competition, and is not bad thing.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t love for it to happen, I’m saying realistically there is no way it would happen.So you think players should have position fixed and there should be no competition. We might not get Dembele and Sancho for financial reasons but competition for Rashford and Martial is absolutely necessary. We can always sell one of them later.
Loan with option to buy for Dembele is way too good a deal to pass. Even if we manage to get Sancho.
People are even saying that its good because its a loan deal! The fact that we actually need a fit and firing RW is no longer the agenda. People are fine with having a crock on a loan deal.The denial to see the obvious is shocking, if not frustrating
Dembele doesn’t play in England thoughWe can still pursue english transfers after 5th of october, no? (from english leagues)
Else, we're wasting valuable time on this fella
He would be a world class injured player though. It reminds me of how the scousers became delusional about how good Lucas was when he was injured.People are even saying that its good because its a loan deal! The fact that we actually need a fit and firing RW is no longer the agenda. People are fine with having a crock on a loan deal.
I would rather have a 25 match a season Dembele on-loan, than having no player at all. Then we can buy Sancho next summerPeople are even saying that its good because its a loan deal!

he hasnt played 25 games in the last 12 months, barely played 30 in 22 months.I would rather have a 25 match a season Dembele on-loan, than having no player at all. Then we can buy Sancho next summer
The issue with Dembele is that it isn't just a loan Barca want, they need the cash or promise of cash. They want a loan with obligation to buy. Whilst a loan deal gets them 15m + wages, its barely 20m quid which is nowhere near enough.Its getting to the stage where I would take any signing. Dembele is skillful, an upgrade to the squad. If he can stay healthy, it will work for us. If not, well its a loan anyway.
How come Liverpool can get $23m for a striker who hasn't played in the EPL and we can't even get $15m for Smalling....
Yeah.. My sentence makes good sense, no? Dont waste the small time we have now on foreign players who already rejected Liverpool. Takes time to convince a player. (Dybala a good case)Dembele doesn’t play in England though
The issue with Smalling, and any of our players, is the wages, Liverpool play significantly less wage wise and so we can't find buyers for them at the prices they are probably worth.How come Liverpool can get $23m for a striker who hasn't played in the EPL and we can't even get $15m for Smalling....

Dancing prats. Surprised Dembele didn't injure himself thereI dream of seeing Pogba and Dembélé doing this through the Carrington halls.
Lot of our puritanical fans would self combust if they see such antics.I dream of seeing Pogba and Dembélé doing this through the Carrington halls.
For £45m (according to Paul Hirst) it's a risk worth taking on a 23 year old with huge potential. His injuries I believe were down to Barca's mismanagement off him which wouldn't be a surprise considering how badly the current regime has run the club. He became a injury prone player at Barca only.Not happening then

£45mil ? Really? I would definitely take the plung at that price and buy him. You could still go for Sancho next summer. Dembele and Sancho can play on either wing. It would be like Bayern when they had Ribery and Robben at their peaks. A nightmare for defences. A muppet can only dream....For £45m (according to Paul Hirst) it's a risk worth taking on a 23 year old with huge potential.

Unless you sign Sancho you go for this guy because with him there's hope and without him there's is none as far as closing the gap on City and Liverpool goes.
That's what Paul Hirst of The Times reported. Barca seem to be getting desperate too with Koeman wanting Depay who according to reports is on standby to join Barca for around €40m.£45mil ? Really?

Based on what evidence? The fact that he became injury prone is more likely to do with the fact he had a really bad hamstring injury that kept him out for 4 months. Most players who have horrendous hamstring injuries forever struggle with them. The only way around that is to completely change the way you play the game. Even if its true that the Barca handling of him is bad what makes you think that our team can keep him fit, we have one of the worst records for recovering players with injuries.His injuries I believe were down to Barca's mismanagement off him which wouldn't be a surprise considering how badly the current regime has run the club.

I think he managed 9 games last season, and picked up 6 different injuries during 2019, and was also injured from February to August in 2020.......!!!I would rather have a 25 match a season Dembele on-loan, than having no player at all. Then we can buy Sancho next summer
I'm not here to provide you evidence but rather give you a alternative view which has been discussed in this thread by the resident French fans which makes sense to me. It's a alternative view that shouldn't be overlooked IMO and people shouldn't jump to conclusions and talk in certainties like they can predict the future.Based on what evidence?

£45m is cheap, but the lad has got hamstrings made of cheese.
We can't and we shouldn't. But this is what happens when you let numbskulls run your football club.I think he managed 9 games last season, and picked up 6 different injuries during 2019, and was also injured from February to August in 2020.......!!!
He has already had 4 separate hamstring injuries, at 23 years of age....Wow...!!!
He is a terrific talent, but my God, how can we overlook that injury record.
25 is very very optimistic. 10-15 is more likely.I would rather have a 25 match a season Dembele on-loan, than having no player at all. Then we can buy Sancho next summer
I dram of never seeing any of our players dance (choreographed).I dream of seeing Pogba and Dembélé doing this through the Carrington
Giggs has said on numerous occasions that yoga helped him massively with his injury prevention and especially his hamstrings. He didnt take it up till he hit his 30s. Not sure what Robben did to sort his hamstrings out but his injuries did tail off as he got older.I'm not here to provide you evidence but rather give you a alternative view which has been discussed in this thread by the resident French fans which makes sense to me.

Players like Giggs and Robben did struggle alot with hamstring injuries but their training regime was tailored towards their specific injury which helped both have a long career. Robben infact even in his 30s looked rapid when many predicted he was finished in his mid 20s.
