I think his loss of form was part injury and partly the fact that other teams marked him out of the game by putting more than 1 player on him. If we’d been any good we could have exploited the extra space in turn dragging his markers away and freeing him up again.
In a higher division he’d be less of a stand out but probably more effective because of it.
Probably just a case of being too talented to fit in.

It was clear his heart wasn’t in it towards the end, but can you blame the kid under the calamitous regime we had at the time?

When our sole attacking strategy of “give it to Siriki” meant that we could be nullified by a sole defensive strategy of “kick Siriki”, it’s fairly unsurprising his head went down.

Slade’s recruitment of Dembele was far and away the most positive thing he did during his second reign; it’s just a shame he proceeded to fúck it up so badly thereafter.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Initially exciting, and played with freedom, partly because other teams hadn't had chance (or bothered) to do their “homework”

Because we had little other creativity at the time  he was subsequently marked out of games and never shone after that

Perhaps more maturity would’ve helped?, but best for him and us that he moved on I guess

No ill feeling but no tears either

I remember in the heat of the relegation battle, one of MJ's first games and Dembele was on the floor tying his laces as someone passed to him. He didn't feature again after that moment.

I don't have a problem with us being a stepping stone, in fact I want us to be a stepping stone. I just want players to play for the shirt whilst they are here.

I wonder if he's learned to pass the ball instead of trying to dribble through a mass of players every single time he gets it? If he has, could develop into a useful player.

After a good start to his career, he was quickly found out and it was pretty much a guaranteed loss of possession every time he got the ball. If he can let the ball do more of the work, he'll be able to using his dribbling skills more effectively.

In reality...just another player passing through the doors of GTFC in a non event of a season.
No malice earned but no real adoration either

The problem with passing the ball is that there has to be someone available for the pass. Otherwise you look a tw@t.
He seems to have featured regularly at a higher level than ours.
So maybe it’s not all his fault he sometimes held on to the ball too long !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
