He's a talented kid, but I'd be wary of an obligation to buy given his fitness troubles.

Yeah, obligation would be a bit much. I doubt they would do an obligation - unless it's a very reasonable fee, considering they don't want him and he's injury prone.He's a talented kid, but I'd be wary of an obligation to buy given his fitness troubles.
I think that he is back, the rumour is that he will be in Lisbon with the rest of the team.Exciting player to watch. Is he set to miss the start of the new season with his current injury?
Obviously Sancho is always going to be my first choice but I am not completely averse to Dembele despite the injury issues and the way he left Dortmund a few years back.The only player i'd really consider a good alternative to Sancho.
Back at Rennes and Dortmund he was playing so so good, but the injuries haven't been good for him. I'm not sure the way Barca plays really suits him either.
I suspect this is just a negotiation tactic to flex Dortmund a little, but I still would be happy if we got him.
I am certain the CDM situation will be monitored over the next season. If McTominay doesn't work out in the role then expect this to be top priority next summer.Loan with an option to buy him for 50m euros and I would take him. Otherwise feck Barca, feck Dortmund, play Greenwood and go and buy a proper CDM, Grealish and a starting CB to partner Maguire.
Interesting. If he gets a decent pre-season under his belt (or as good as can be during these times), and is ready to be eased back in when the season starts, the inner muppet in me would be delighted with a loan deal and option to buy. Does feel like low risk and high reward.I think that he is back, the rumour is that he will be in Lisbon with the rest of the team.
Do we know if the loan with obligation to buy option is actually on the table for him at all or is that just a rumourHe’d be the perfect alternative, especially if the loan is with an option, not an obligation. Worst case then, we can go back for Sancho next summer if we wish to.
I doubt anything is on the table at all at this stage, merely a consideration as we pursue our primary target.Do we know if the loan with obligation to buy option is actually on the table for him at all or is that just a rumour
Of course, at full health, he’s plenty good enough.I would Definitely take a loan option with an obligation to buy or just a loan. Feck Dortmund and their 120 million fee. Nobody will pay it even next year I guarantee you.
also for the record an injury free Dembele is on par with Sancho if not even better because of his pace. He is also a natural right winger. I don’t know why there are comments insinuating he isn’t good enough?
100% this. I'm a big fan of Dembele and I think he'd be perfect in our system and the next best thing after Sancho.The only player i'd really consider a good alternative to Sancho.

Yeah there is no doubt he would be a class signing if over his injury issues. Would also definitely enjoying playing alongside his countrymenI'd actually even take him over Sancho if (and that's a big if) he wasn't always injured.

They must be crazy with that demand, as a club I hope we have learned to stand firm. Going forward it will only make negotiations easier as clubs know we will walk away like City if they try to stick us.100% this.

BvB can go feck themselves with their ridiculous €120 million valuation. No player in the current climate bar Mbappe maybe is worth that much.
Yeah no doubt that is the key thingWould love him here if we can't sign Sancho. If he can stay fit, the boy is dynamite.
I can understand me and you and any regular jack to still believe that Scott can deputize at CDM, but if the club actually believe that he can replace Matic than I am worried. Scott is no CDM imo and never will, we must bring someone this summer if we are willing to have a good season.I am certain the CDM situation will be monitored over the next season. If McTominay doesn't work out in the role then expect this to be top priority next summer.
Even a better risk than Coman in my opinion. Dembele would be so unpredictable for defenders. Coman is a tad bit more predictable in the way he plays.Better him than Bale i guess. We should never ever take Madrid's problem off while he's there
The Spanish press tell many lies.Is this the same guy who stays up late to play FIFA on his playstation?
No, he plays Mario Kart.Is this the same guy who stays up late to play FIFA on his playstation?
He missed 80 games in the last 3 seasons, over 500 days injured.What exactly are his injury concerns?
The times I've seen him play he looks decent and occasionally outstanding. Worth a punt on loan + option to buy as long as the price we buy him for isn't more than £50m.
We don't need another sick note though, hence my question about his injuries.
