Don't want this lazy schmuck bringing down the mood further with his poor attitude. Track record is not good. Do not want.
Ousmane Dembele

I'm going to be next levels of pissed if we buy him. Loan? Fair enough but buy? Feck no
Haven’t forgiven him for missing those 3 big chances v Liverpool in the Champions League. Don’t want.
In our favour, Koeman wanted to get rid of Messi also didn't he...
I’m fully expecting ‘United have failed in their bid to convince Dortmund to lower their demands and are now fully focused on bringing in Dembele’ by lunch time tomorrow.
Im also expecting Gary Coterill to start the day in Dortmund and end it in Barcelona

He was always going to be overruled by the club in that case but yea he reportedly made it a point to tell him he wouldn't be receiving special treatment anymore the first time he met him after taking the job
At least he'll get a better welcome in Barca cause the Germans clearly hate him for being thereI’m fully expecting ‘United have failed in their bid to convince Dortmund to lower their demands and are now fully focused on bringing in Dembele’ by lunch time tomorrow.

Haha. They really do
Well to be fair to him (I'm Dutch so have to defend him etc.) Messi already wanted out by the time Koeman arrived due to the overall state of the club (especially the board). Believe Koeman tried to convince him to change his mind but couldn't and then wouldn't stand in his way because he doesn't want to keep players against their will as it's bad for morale. Not like he thought Messi isn't good enough or anything.
Koeman has been eager to let most players go. Some talented guys like Semedo and Suarez have gone already this summer, they're looking to refresh. I wouldn't read too much into it.
Yup. I think we originally weren't going to sign him, but now we will, given the horror result tonight.
Why would he even stay there? He's not getting any game time, they've lost faith in him. Get him for cheap, he's worth the punt.
We are signing both Dembele (loan) and Sancho.
It’s exactly what we should be doing. Never mind the deadwood, United should be looking to shift a lot of the frontline players.
Can see us spending the money to sign him for 50m or so tomorrow. Time will tell if he's up for it mentally or can stay fit.
Some will hate it but he's a quality player. Unreal pace and great with both feet. Won't take him long to win people over.
Certainly not the worst alternative to Sancho...
TBF who says we can't get Sancho as well next season.
They had as much trouble moving some of those players as we have with our deadwood
They pretty much had to buy out Suarez, Vidal and Rakitic to get them off their books
Di Marzio saying Depay joining Barca tomorrow...
Presume this will be a loan why do we think it's permanent ?
He will be a nice option to have a far better than adding nobody on the right wing

Dembele would be the Robben of 2020. A shrewd buy.

I’m not disputing any of that. Just making the point that we should be gutting our entire playing squad.
Because we're gonna panic after today.
When he tears his hamstring on his debut everyone can go back to watching his youtube compilations and tell us all what an amazing talent he is.
I agree but given the massive wages we tend to hand out to even squad players, buying players out like them would be a pricey proposition
DO NOT WANT!
We need to pray to every god that he can somehow stay fit, otherwise this is just quite simply a shocking bit of business.
The talent is there, but the fitness quite simply isn't.

Looks like this is heating up.
Can he play centre half?
This ffs
Everyone was salivating over him a few years ago and he's had a few injury problems and now nobody want's him?
Good to see you’ve taken your tent from the Cavani thread and pitched it up here in readiness for telling us all why this is a great signing when we buy him for tomorrow.
Dembele does excite me as a player. A loan with an option to buy would be good.
Good to see you're at least consistent with your constant dismay at just about anything.
Seems like this is happening.
I don't think Sancho will come here with out Champions League football and that looks unlikely. We need to buy him now to trap him here for a few years.
Yeah can see it being our dying minutes deal of the market.
I'd still have him, on loan with obligation to buy preferably, given the state or non-state of the Sancho deal.
The fact that he never had these health concerns before Barcelona makes me wonder if a change of scenery could help get him back on track. He's still just 23 so I'll never totally write a classy talent off that young but I really hope we can ease him carefully if we do get him.
This makes me think we'll be bringing him in some way or the other, they didn't have the funds all window long until now apparently...
