Moussa Dembele to Man United?

[Greenisland Bear]

Just seen on twitter United have apparently bid in excess of 40M Euro for him.

Didnt think he had that great a season for Lyon, but his 2019 was surprisingly good.

You just know Alfie will go for peanuts in the summer and be sold on for big bucks after a season with another club.

Transfer fees in football today are a joke.

 

[UnionCruiser72]

I don’t think he’s worth that at all but he’s always been an excellent player.

Twice the player that edouard is anyways.

Defo correct one? Is there not one at Spurs with the same name.

 

[Greenisland Bear]

Yeah definitely the one that shower sold to Lyon.

The other is playing in China I think.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Mediocre signing for Man Utd.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Another season of woe awaits United.

 

[Boab4]

Seen a few of his goals for Lyon, looked really good.

Better than fat Lukaku anyway.

 

[Rangerstillidie]

I don’t understand why they’d sign him given his injury record.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Not quick enough and injury prone.

 

[BrownBrogues]

Last season Tavernier outscored him.. let that sink in.

 

[The Moon on Mars is Blue]

Not a top 6 signing at this rate Manchester United will finish mid table. I suspect their manager will be away by December.

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

The cheesestring hamstrings

 

[Gallant_Few]

Standards at that club have hit rock bottom.

 

[Kimarcus]

Hopefully doesn't sign as sounds like the scum will get a % of the fee.

 

[GeeGee]

Sounds like another summer of machine-gun signings at Man U in the hope something sticks.

 

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

I've just had to double check and it is the dembele that was with the filth. Man U really are just chucking shit at a wall and hoping something sticks.

They would be much better spending £17m on Alfie

 

[Chester Loyal]

He’s a good player but I’m not sure he’s quite up to Man Utd’s level. Then again, what is Man Utd’s level these days?

When he can be bothered he’s a good player but he has attitude and injury problems galore.

 

[dh1963]

The top clubs down there have the likes of Aguero, Kane and Salah.

If Solskjaer thinks he can topple them by signing an inconsistent injury prone inexperienced forward, then get your money on Man United sacking him before the season is out.

 

[Syme]

23 goals in France is not a bed return, but who knows how he would do in the EPL.

 

[MilwaulkeeExpat]

Lyon's top scorer this season, definetly improved since leaving the scum. Also, keep in mind even if celtic do have a sell on fee, it will be ten percent of any profit made, aka 2million, not 4-8million as they will likely try to claim.

 

[ElBarrileteCosmico]

How many on here have contacted Man Utd to tell them “he took penalties”?

 

[MSF]

He is a really good player & has developed at Lyon.

He’d be perfect for Spurs.

Man Utd though? Not if they’re wanting to win the league.

 

[venturablue]

Anyone who scores almost 30 goals in the French league will be looked at regardless of injury problems. In fact, almost 30 goals for an injury prone forward looks even more impressive.

 

[Robert Prytz]

Seen a few of his goals for Lyon, looked really good.

Better than fat Lukaku anyway.

Behave yourself, Lukaku is a far better player.

 

[Boab4]

Behave yourself, Lukaku is a far better player.

He's a fat lazy waste of space though

 

[hhss]

The continuity of Man Utd being a basket case club rolls on.

 

[Robert Prytz]

He's a fat lazy waste of space though

Scores goals in the best league in the world, Dembele has scored goals in two leagues where standards are far lower. If that is the what United are basing their hopes on they are in big trouble .

 

[Blue Goose]

He will get found out rather quickly if true.

 

[alba73]

Some celtic fans I spoke to say he’s not injury prone but didn’t play as much because of his relationship with Brendon was poor

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Sessegnon, James, Dembele, Longstaff.

 

[_BlueNose_]

 

[biggee]

He's not. Really. I suspect you know that though.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Going by the Morelos worth thread some Bears will think that's probably not enough because he took Rob Kiernan apart

 

[artificialintoleranz]

He is a really good player & has developed at Lyon.

He’d be perfect for Spurs.

Man Utd though? Not if they’re wanting to win the league.

I don't get that train of thought tbh.

United are my English team but Spurs look a hell of a lot closer to winning the EPL than United. Not that they are that close in reality.

Spurs are a team who have grown organically through proper management at all levels throughout the club. United are adrift and have basically been reduced to being a debt paying vehicle for owners who have no real clue about, or interest, in actual football.

 

[Leif Erikson]

Anyone who scores almost 30 goals in the French league will be looked at regardless of injury problems. In fact, almost 30 goals for an injury prone forward looks even more impressive.

He hasn't though.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Sessegnon, James, Dembele, Longstaff.

Monkey faces nephew from Newcastle?

Oli must fancy the payoff sharpish

 

[Monty_greenock34]

He is a really good player & has developed at Lyon.

He’d be perfect for Spurs.

Man Utd though? Not if they’re wanting to win the league.

Spurs not wanting to win the league too though??

Perfect for spurs chasing the league but not united?

 

[MSF]

Spurs not wanting to win the league too though??

He wouldn’t start for Spurs, so yes he’d be a good signing as back up for Kane.

Anyway, Tottenham Hotspur won’t win the league for as long as Levy penny pinches.

Its a matter of time now until Pochettino leaves and will the new manager be able to cope with the lack of spending? In the modern game, I doubt it.

 

[Grei9]

keep Big Lukaku company on the bench

 

[BlueLagoonCo]

Hahaha why not buy him off the mentally challengeds for £20million last season?

 

[Family bam]

I'll crack the jokes!!

 

[55degreesnorth]

He hasn't though.

Give him a break, he's scored half that.

 

[Kaba]

Sessegnon, James, Dembele, Longstaff.

They’re going to romp the championship next season to be fair

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Hahaha why not buy him off the mentally challengeds for £20million last season?

Because the elite clubs will never buy a player who’s only proven it in Scotland. It’s too much of a risk.

 

[mark hateley]

Mediocre signing for Man Utd.

Defo a team screaming that they are serious condentenders for top half of the league.

 

[top_cat]

Another season of woe awaits United.

Which pleases me greatly.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Decent signing in their upcoming quest for a mid-table finish.

 

[Sacré Blue]

Defo correct one? Is there not one at Spurs with the same name.

Just checked the Lyon mercato site and apparently it's true MU have been following him since way back when he was a youth player at PSG he's scored 23 times for Lyon this season they are offering north of 40 million ,whether he'll do well in the EPL is another matter though

 

[usbear]

Is that Kareoke’s da?

 

[a_weir]

Apparently €40m or whatever it is buys you a 20 goals a season player.
