The number of downvotes I got for suggesting he would smash it was crazy.
It’s like people have this block in their brain where they can admit someone from a lower team is great, and they can admit someone from one of the traditional top clubs is great, but at the level of Spurs, being sort of in between it’s like we get overlooked.
Dembele was the best player in the league for a couple seasons, and even as people like KdB said he’s the best player he’d ever played with, everyone said Spurs were overhyping him.
It’s just happened repeatedly. Modric suddenly became world class. Same with Berba. It’s like literally taking off the Spurs shirt makes the player visible.
The only one I can remember that was properly rated was Bale and that was because you literally just gave him the ball and he put it in the net. Even when he came back to Spurs people under rated him even though he was BY FAR the highest goals/min in the league.
Dembele was a fantastic player, but I don’t think he was the best player in the league at any point
Pretty hard playing at the same time as prime Ribéry, Robben and Lewandowski
I think he was talking about Mousa Dembele who used to play for Spurs
Oh well 😅 thanks for clarifying
Fully agree Im pretty sure I got downvoted for saying Kane won't have to drop so deep and will be forward more and this will cause him to be an actual striker rather than an attacking mid.
I wasn't expecting him to go so crazy but thought he'd be a ton better statwise.
Goddamn was Dembele such a fucking BEAST. Brilliant player
