Moussa Dembele
- Thread starter The Neviller
- Start date
Anything under £10m would be a great deal. Less than £5m seems to be taking the piss though.
From the little I've seen (mind you, that's very little), he reminds me a bit of Rivaldo. Sweet left foot and likes to shoot them low. Good ball control also. But I'm not sure whether he's good enough for a club like United or would be a tangible improvement on Anderson/Cleverley. Also wonder where buying Dembele would leave Kagawa.
I'd be very happy with Dembele. It seems like he's capable of playing box to box, he's very good offensively obviously but his defensive qualities are also there. At below £10m, and I think Fulham will sell at a reasonable price with him only having one year left on his deal, he'd be value.
His middle name is Yaya 
He doesn't need to be better than what we have, he's fitter than Anderson and could cover for Carrick.
Rivaldo
Shit not good enough though
I said he reminds be a bit of Rivaldo,and I meant his style of play. Does not imply he's as good as the Brazilian.
Could he? I thought he was more of an attacking player...
He played pretty deep and put a lot of tackles in last season and in the recent Belgium/England game I saw.
Well, but how did he do? The sheer fact that we was deployed there proves nothing. The curious case of Alan Smith springs to mind.
If your referring to the England vs Belgium game, then from what I can remember he dominated Gerrard. He didn't set the game a light, but that's because that's the type of player he is at times - similar to Carrick.
Not many football supporters rate Carrick simply because he goes about his business quietly. Holding midfielders is probably the position that get's less praise than any other. I'm not saying Dembele is generally a holding midfielder, but the model still applies.
I hope the rumours of us making a bid is true, but since it's talksport - I doubt it.
last season he was very good in one of the games against us. i ve never had heard about him but was impressed.
5m is a piss take.
He was brought on as an attacking midfielder yes, but he was often found further down the pitch as well to pick up the ball and to defend whereas someone like Hazard tends to stay up front more.
S.A.F. is at Craven Cottage watching the game.
We are playing Fulham after Everton.
I know Fergie was probably present due to the fact we're facing Fulham next, but for those who had watched the game - how was he?

He was pretty relaxed, talking with Hodgson and casually watching the game.
we just need another striker.
seriously? a striker? don't you realise we just bought RvP and Kagawa before that, top that with Rooney, Welbeck and Chicharito and we've got the strongest striking force in the world.
if even Mancini can say that, how on earth can you still think we need another striker? sorry but you're an idiot here. even brainless fans can see the obvious, yet you somehow fail to do that, shame on you.
c'mon, bite
No white text?
Mate i am sure he was being sarcastic,you have been merked.
yeah, so was I, didn't you notice the white text?
What a ridiculous statement. We need a winger
Fergie was at fulham today- getting ready for next weekends game or watching Dembele?
No way, he turned his head away every time Dembele got the ball. He was only there to scout the team and ignore him
Is this one on then?
What the word in the twitterverse?
What the word in the twitterverse?
Fergie's got eyes on the back of his head. He didn't want to make it too obvious that he was scouting Dembele, so he used his secret pair of eyes when Dembele was on the ball. Thought this was common knowledge.
was it even needed!
Fergie did say there was 1 more player he wanted, "if he was available".
Seems to fit in with the story... would love it if we signed him.

All the muppets are ***ped out, they may be able to crank one out.
Yeah it's a possibility, I'd take em myself not sure how much though. I think someone mentioned 9mil should do the trick earlier in thread. I'd probably have to agree.
How stocked are Fulham for midfielders? Didn't they lose Danny Murphy recently and Liverpool are still interest in Dempsey, so three going might not happen.

It's pretty clear that Dembele is available - Fulham are a selling club and they only tied him to a 3-year deal when they bought him in 2010 so he'll be out of contract next Summer. I don't think Ferguson meant Dembele really.
Baines then? Or who else?
Yep. I'm harbouring slightly though to the hope that the player Fergie was referring to was Sahin but under the premise it's an actual purchase rather than a loan.
Perhaps not, but the talksport link has named us as the club that bid, i dont see why we would be randomly linked for now reason, but then i guess the press are probably just putting 2+2 together.
