Ousmane Dembele

[hydrofluoric acid]

That's not a scene. That's a movie and it's called Groundhog Day.

It could also be called "Every summer window for Arsenal fan"!

france accademies are the best in Europe. not even germany comes close.

They were overtaken by both Spain and Germany in the last few years, but they seem to be coming back to prominence now.

If you watch any Ligue 1 match (Apart from PSG), you'll see at least one or two talented youngsters from the academy of that particular team playing.

For example Auxerre, Lens, Rennes, Lyon, Lille, Toulouse, PSG, Nantes, Monaco, Marseille, Le Havre and Saint-Etinne have all excellent youth academies that have produced great talents over the years.

Dem african roots.

Could be such a powerhouse of football if there were some decent coaches around.

Got a hattrick this weekend in the French league, apparently in front of Barça's scout in the stands.

@Maxim Africa's loss is Fance's gain! No wonder Chirac said what he's said.

There are already quotes in the net from him saying how much he'd love to play for Bartha and yada yada...

 

[SomGooner]

Who wouldn't wanna play with the GOAT tbh? Good luck, Ousmane.

I always wondered how jokes it would be if all the French boys of African descent just used France for their education and then just represented their parents countries. North/West Africa would be a powerhouse

He is like everything United fans wished Martial to be.

 

[Penn_]

These Dembele's need to get easier names like the Cole/Campbells so I can tell them apart better

Never watched him, where would he stand in the current team? Does he easily take the RW spot?

 

[Trilly]

Just ****ing sign him. He seems like of those rare talents, a once every few years type.

We need everything we can get tbh.

 

[Jerome_Gooner]

He'd start as RW here yes.

Which means we'd have a traffic jam there with Ramsey, Ox, Theo and Campbell. Most likely one would have to go

 

[Trilly]

Disclaimer: stats based post

Just saw that he's averaging a 7.5 on whoscored which is insane for an 18 year old. Doesn't take into account the difficulty of the league and obviously stats aren't perfect but those who are familiar with whoscored will understand how crazy that is.

 

[Trilly]

Just watched some versus comps and I've seen enough quality decision making and talent to suggest he'll probably push ahead of Ox for the RW spot.

I wouldn't sign him now but I would keep an eye on and seriously consider a move if a rival was to try and sign him. I hope Wenger pulls his finger out, dont think he rates Chamberlain as much as this forum does. He's openly admitted to trying to sign Coman....

Would be typical us to instead sign his cheaper but 'underrated and just as good' teammate who turns out to be **** after five years of wages and game time.

I would think we would have to move this summer if we were to sign him otherwise PSG, City, MUFC, Real, Barca, Bayern will make a move and we really can't compete.

MUFC would be willing to over pay and every other team i listed would be more attractive to most football players.
