Ed001 is this Dembelle lad worth chasing then?

It's a risk but he has the ability to be one of the best players in the world. Attitude seems to stink abit from what has been said. I'd love him to join if the price is right. Two footed, fast and skillful. Talent in abundance.

Lots of people on here liked the look of him a year or two ago, it’s seems that because he’s had an injury hit year at Barcelona and the way he acted at Dortmund some people have been put off. I think Barcelona overpaid for him last summer but I’d love him at Liverpool, depending on the price or type of deal.

I'd like to hear Ed1's thought on him too. Personally (right or wrong) I think he's a very talented player but his injuries worry me therefore I'd pass on him.

If he joins of course he get's my full support but I don't think he has the right mental strength to join a club like Liverpool, his injuries have restrained him so much and left him afraid of playing to his full ability because of a potential new injury.

We want hard working players and I'm concerned he wouldn't be one of them. He rushed his move to Barcelona, he should've waited and developed more before such a move, he didn't see how much his game would change by moving and it affected him and his game. He never had to track back at Dortmund, it was all about attacking and only attacking, he does need to track back at Barcelona with more pressure he caved in, his body saw the difference and failed on him, he's made of glass when he needs to do more, if he can't handle a bit of pressure he can't handle life at Liverpool.

Having said all of the above, he is 21 years old, only a year older then Solanke, I've learnt not to write off youngsters and he is a youngster still but a very expensive one, is he worth the risk? and it's a big risk, I'd say no.

{Ed001's Note - he is supremely talented but his attitude worries me, his inconsistency is not that of a player who lacks experience, it is more that of a player who lacks focus. Sometimes he just does not seem to care.}

Sounds a bit like Sadio Mane at Southampton.

Balotelli was supremely talented.
I’d avoid this lad like the plague. 👍.

Dembele has a huge attitude Problem. He forced his way out of 2 Clubs in 2 years. He acts like a diva if he doesn't get what he wants and that worries me.

It’s his injury record that worries me more than anything. Sturridge and Owen mk2 with those hamstrings.

Klopp knows him first hand and is not put off. He thinks he can get a tune out of him so I'm not worried about his attitude, just the injuries.

{Ed002's Note - How does Klopp know him? What will Klopp be blowing to get a tune out of him?}

Balotelli was talented, but his playing style was never what we needed; for me that was the main reason why he failed so bad with us, such as Benteke (and was the reason i never wanted any of them near the club) . Of course his attitude is terrible, but for a period of time I really think he tried to make it work, but didn't. Then Klopp got in, and the rest is history. I think, Dembele has more potential, and suits perfectly our style, now I wonder if he will change his mentality, similar to how Sadio did, to succeed at the club.
I'll still go for Fekir al day long. Is a player i've been following for about 4 years, and most of the times has impressed me, but as Ed01 says, we never get who I want (at least since Torres) .
