Dembele was/is freakishly good. Should have doubled his wages and kept him for two more years.
He didn't leave because of money.....
HE wanted to leave because he was feeling the pinch physically.
No one could get the ball off him and he was really good defensively. I honestly have no memory of him getting tackled. Just moving the ball up the pitch with players falling over themselves all around him. Selling him in January was utterly stupid.
Would have preferred him to stay til the end of the season (as Boltonspur said if not for just ONE more appreance in that CL final), but 2 more (full) years means he'd have stayed until this summer!)..... He managed just 900-odd minutes in 13 apps last season and that's in China.
Sadly, all good things come to an end.
