What's new

Moussa Dembele

Good player. He didn't always get a great wrap for his attitude at Celtic, but he would absolutely be an upgrade on Michy.

 
Looks like a potential swap deal with Giroud might be happening.

A good option to have with Tammy I think. Not sure if its him or Werner we should go for though

 
Is this the one that was at Celtic? 

 
I see him much more interested in playing second fiddle to Tammy than Werner. I feel Werner wants the right club for his future. Chelsea is not the most prominent in terms of playing time

 
Dembele looks more like a Chelsea type player, more agile and athletic to.

 
He's probably a better option than what we have. He is a top finisher with experience in England and Scotland which means he'll be used to the style and crucially speaks the language already. 

For me the issue remains his first touch which makes Lukaku look like Henry. His passing and work outside the box is also poor. The risk is he could be another Michy. 

That said if the price is okay I can see him as someone capable of playing a role while ensuring Tammy remains the lead. A better option than Werner.

If he has a poor work ethic, first touch and cannot pass then he sounds worse than Batman. We dont need to be going backwards with our signings.

He's a risk no doubt. My thing that I think makes him better than Michy is that he isn't stationary outside the box. He'll run the channel or get the ball and dribble at an opponent. 

Michy just wants everything to be a layoff so he can get on the end of the move in the six yard box. He adds precisely zero outside that zone. 

 
He is strong, and quick, has decent technique, and seems fairly intelligent.

But he doesnt really have the versatility that someone like werner would bring, so i think it would him or tammy. 

I wouldnt be disappointed though, he is better than giroud and batshuayi, arguably better than Abraham, although i think they are at a similar level.

We won't get Werner. Why would he leave? Leipzig have the chance to win the league, and they are through to the next stages of the CL. Right now we are way off the title, and top four is far from a certainty. He may have the chance at going to a better placed club than us in summer.

I dont think he would. Maybe in the summer though.

If we sign Dembele now, i cant see us signing Werner aswell in the summer. Thats why i compared the 2. 

I dont think a back up to tammy is that important in January, i would much rather bring in a wide player or attacking midfielder.

Problem is, I don't know where we would fit all these players. Hypothetically, if we signed Werner and Dembele, what happens to Abraham? Neither of these players will be happy to be second place for most of the season.

The same if we signed Sancho or Zaha, what about Hudson-Odoi and Pulisic? I think we have to be a little realistic because this isn't Fifa. We cannot buy all these good players. We either have to pay out loads of money or scout really well and find a bargain like Liverpool did with Robertson for e.g.

I think Abraham, Werner, Sancho, Pulisic, Hudson-odoi, Willian is fine. 6 players for 3 positions. 

I dont really see what is unrealistic about that scenario at all. 

No one is suggestion a fifa type spending spree. 

Are you suggesting we just stick with what we have, and then get a cheap back up options? 

We are a big club that spends big money, we spent £200m last season, i dont see why it would be any different this season.
