It's quiet... summer 2018.

People suggesting a loan have absolutely lost their marbles.

Oh yeah lets just train your player up under the best coach in the world, not give our own young players game time and then when he's had a great season we'll just release him like an injured bird we've nursed back to health. Anyway have fun with your 130 million pound asset we've nurtured back to form Barca. Love you, big kiss.

I must have taken a wrong turn and ended up in a thread about NAC Breda.

Not sure if they're credible, but the rumours have started a couple of weeks ago:

"Barca is probing several European teams to find out if they would be interested in Dembélé"

Would be stupid to pass up this opportunity, if it's true and Barca want to sell. Another 'Mbappe' situation.

Dembele has not really looked like a 100+ million player since he joined Barca, has he?

Unbelievable talent but seriously behaved unbelievably badly leaving Dortmund, had a fight with Enrique too but thats fair enough if he was racist to him as has been alleged.

It doesn't really matter how he looked under a nobody like Valverde. He doesn't even fit the rigid 4222 Barca is using now. The kid is a top talent, only Mbappe is clearly better than him in this age group.

Undoubtedly, only watched him play a full 90 once against England last summer and he looked significantly better than Mbappe.

He's clearly available. What did Barca pay before the add ons?

 

[manlikepep]

Windows been open for a few hours now and we haven’t signed anyone yet. Pep out I’m boycotting.

He's clearly available. What did Barca pay before the add ons?

"On 25 August 2017, La Liga side Barcelona announced that they had reached an agreement to sign Dembélé for €105 million plus a reported €40 million add-ons"

£92m.

Please, scrap Mahrez, Zaha, and anyone else and sign this kid. Would be the stuff of dreams under Pep. The fact there's splitting reports on a variety of targets could mean we’re in the pipeline for someone like this, or at least exploring those avenues?

Hopefully anyway.
