And then there is this fucking guy.

literally who is this guy, and how does he walk in and get the number 7?

until he signed for dortmund no one mentioned him ever

>>77988379
He's a business investment for dortmund, if he has a moderately good season then one of the big clubs will pay £100million for him with the English premium

i feel he will become a poor man's leeroy sane

>>77988365
>number 7

A bit embarrassing for Dortmund.

>>77988379
the 7 just happend to be free cause dembele.
local german newspaper compare him to the flops Januzaj, Mor and Merino.

>>77988434
he left city cause he cant beat sane.
now he has to compete with Pulisic, Schürrle, Reus and Kagawa.
lel

eeeeeasy 30m british pound for the next DA OX from Arsenal next summer.

>>77988365

>£10m for a guy who has never made a first team appearance
>The BBC article about it was full of people wishing him luck etc instead of wondering what the fuck the transfer window has turned into

>>77988445
At Dortmund literally noone cares about numbers. Last year an actual Mor had the 9.

>>77988719
and then you have a CB wearing the 7 at HSV

>>77988682
>£10m for a guy who has never made a first team appearance

The thing is, even if he never makes a first team appearance for Dortmund they will probably be able to sell him back to some shitter like West Ham for £30m in a few seasons

>>77988393
won't happen, this only works when it's English players moving between English clubs
remember how much Eric Dier cost from Sporting

Plus the hype around him will work in reverse because he's an English player abroad and European media is always skeptical of English talent

>>77988719
I thought it's because they were as superstitious about the number nine as Arsenal were since Lewandowski left

Since Immobile they've been awarding it to wingers in the hope that their lack of goals is disguised by the fact that they're wingers

>>77988807

The BBC will hype him like fuck. It's like with Oliver Burke in Germany last season, they had articles saying "Scottish guy makes sub appearance in Germany" as if anyone actually cares.

Is he actually talented?

>>77988896
>Oliver Burke
Who?

>>77988379
Before Dembele it was Jonas Hofmann's and Moritz Leitner's, both youth players.
Kagawa had it for a season but he switched back to 23 after it became available.
Seems like no one wants it.

>>77988896
And now Red Bull managed to sell Burke (who flopped terribly) back to England at a profit.

>>77988896
There was minimal coverage after his first few appearances, plus scoring the winner against Dortmund was a reasonably newsworthy deal since he was playing Championship player a couple of months before

>>77992021
Went for the same transfer fee both times. He had a mediocre season, but still played top flight football so he was more worth the fee the second time around. Leipzig overpaid when he left Forest
