Selling him absolutely made sense from a clinically fiscal point of view.We got £11,000,000 for a player with one hip. It's pretty incredible really.

I don't think anyone at the club really believed we were in with a decent shout of winning the league, and at the same time didn't fear us dropping out of the top 4.
Really hoping they were right on the latter.
Whilst we 100% miss him and his ability is sorely missed in our midfield, had we not sold him he still wouldn't have kicked a ball for us this season, HE'S STILL INJURED!!
Can't fault the business we did here.

Thick. As. Pig. Shit!Nobody had the issue selling - everyone had an issue no replacing him. Duh
it's the fucking chinese league, their top scorer is Eran Zehavi star of the Israeli premier league who could finish 6th in a 100 meter dash at the special Olympics on account of being slower than a three-legged turtle .Just the two assists for Dembele today.
Loving life out in China.
1 goal and 3 assists in 8 games now for him. Completing 3 tackles per game and making 1.1 interceptions. As well as completing 5 dribbles per game (FIVE!!!) and making 1.6 key passes per game.
Imagine if he was this good with us!!!?

He was at one point. Had the best dribble and tackling success rate of all midfielders in europe in one of the seasons.Just the two assists for Dembele today.

That is stupid. He would pass the ball Eriksen or nearby attacking midfielder at the end of it.Shame there was regularly fuck all on the end of it.
That is stupid.
Guess all the players around him and Pochetino are all wrong except some idiot on a forum.Oh come on.
We all loved Dembele but fuck me beyond the pointless shoulder drop, he was someone who'd just pass sideways or waste attacks.
Great at beating a press though. His best asset.
Find it absolutely laughable that some "fans" have the nerve to laugh at Sissokos finishing ability or the fact Winks doesn't attack only to then laud Dembele as someone who was a great finisher and would attack.

No one is saying he was goalscorer. But none of them or Poch will say he would do a pointless shoulder drop and nothing else. According to Poch and others that have played with him, hes one of the best theyve ever seen.Feel free to post a quote from any of our players and manager where they've said Dembele was good at setting up goals or creating chances.
I'm here all night.
