I fully agree, although I rate Dembele a bit more than what you seem to do. The quality of his defensive play is leagues above what we can expect from the rest of our AMs, and I also think he'll prove a valuable asset offensively given some game time to work on his stuff.
Great points.
The upside of Dembele if he clicks in the final third is massive. I don't want Poch to get cold feet after a few games of no assists or goals.
