Dembele to Peterborough

Quoted from Ipswin

No chance if that fat illegitimate Fry has anything to do with it.
Remember the Bennett deal and Fry's intervention just before they sold him to Norwich,
Fry will offer to buy out the sell on clause for a fiver and Fenty will go for it.

But that didn't happen, did it?

Six figure deal covers a big range, but even at 100k worst case, it's good business for the club. Can't see it as a great move for the player but good luck to him and his agent - it's their choice. Can't see him being 'mentored' by Evans - more than likely bawled at, but all the best to them. Ker Ching.

On we go.....

Cheers Siriki, by and large he offered the only chinks of excitement in a pretty poor season , some lovely skill, some outstanding moments so thank you for those .....
not often or consistently enough and usually followed by a heap of disapointment come the end product but thanks anyway.

Now go earn us a few million with a hefty sell on clause  

Not big or physical enough for L1 IMHO, don't wish the lad bad luck far from it I hope he flourishes. However his agent needs a slap as Evans will not be with the Posh in 2 seasons time and Dembele might just end up disappearing, he could have gone to more stable clubs in L1 or 2.

Good business by GTFC all the same, 100% of the money needs to go to MJ.

After last seasons great escape it would be criminal if it didn't.

He will do well in the reserves at Posh

hope the bench is comfortable over at the ABAX!

I remember at Barnet him 'skinning' the full back. He jinxed this way and that way and left him for dead leading to Sam Jones' goal. I've looked at the video several times and still don't know how he did it. One moment he was heading directly to the by line and the next headed to the center of the pitch. The poor full back's face was a picture. He reminded me of Trigger in Fools and Horses after Del Boy fell through the bar and Trigger looking bewildered as to where Del Boy had gone.

Port Vale away when he got his first goal was really great for him as he had been trying so hard. He was estatic.

As someone else said he lit up the pitch in the first half of the season and looked great but little came of it but it was good to watch. Good luck to him. I'm sure he will need it under Evans.

Six figure sum ????
Do think Evans has got confused over the wrong Dembele?

If he meant his second goal at Cheltenham (and I think he did) then he remains one of the most naturally talented players I've seen at Town for a long long time.

I also recall some suggestion Peterborough were keen last summer, and he might have been picked up before August had ended - Slade certainly said, what Dembele?  When asked if any contact had been made in any of our squad.  He moved the conversation on quickly.

Yes, there were questions of application, and not handling people doubling-up on him, and then all the problems that come from being in a poor team.  He was garbage at Coventry away for example - but I also suspect he wasn't fully fit.

If a team can make that early season form consistent, and with gradual coaching improve decision making they've got a gem.  Let's hope for that - maybe a sell-on % may prove to be worth more than the undisclosed fee we've had.  My personal view is that he'll rise further up the leagues rather than drop down them.

He's a young lad - I wish him well.
