is dembele that good that he cannot be replaced?

vallery

Raphinha is over qualified to replace Dembele. You can't use stats of someone that's in Leeds(a relegating team) to compare to someone who's playing for Barcelona. Even if you use the stats, the difference is just little. Now imagine when he plays for a top team like Barcelona, that their mindset is just filled with dominance. Obviously he'll beat this Dembele's stats hands down. The funny thing is that it seems Dembele is at his prime, still there's no much difference between him and Raphinha who's trying to Carry Leeds. Forget it, we need Raphinha. Whether Dembele stays or not

Emmanuel♥️💙

Dembele is good with both feets
Dembele has adapted to xavi type of play 
Dembele always deliver when the team are looking confuse 
The whole team looks for dembele when the finding it difficult inside the pitch
Raphina isn’t bad but aw sure are we that he can adapt to Barca type of play. Not all world class players finds it easy in Barca
Let hold Dembele, Let him be our priority.
Dembele contract renewal and world class Goalkeeper should be our major priority right now

Hypeman Lawrence

Mike Dinsey

He’s capable of replacing Dembele, Adama and even Luuk De Jong seh.

Get this done as soon as possible Mr.Laporta💙❤️💙❤️

Visca Barcelona 💙❤️💙❤️

Shuaibu M Jalloh

This team official seems confused with dembele and everything in the club

Stanley Ozubelem

So just bcos Dembele made 13 assists this season from unnecessary crossings and failing to score even up to 5 goals we're here comparing him to someone who doesn't lose the ball but always entering the 18 box with his pace and techniques. The difference will be clear when Raphinha comes with good players behind him. Dembele is a waste and a flop. He's never better than Pedro, Sanchez, Villa, Tello, Cuenca, Bojan, Henry and Neymar.

ManCharLey

Wetin u people dey talk for here, abi u dey look stat, barca bring raphinha jare, mtcheww it's better having a player who plays with all his heart for the club than to have an ediot who plays just for excessive amount of money.

laporta no make mistake here oo. 

Dat ediot should go to Bayern or PSG so dat he can go through what Neymar experience. 

Ballon d'or my foot.

Oek d ☝️

Dembele should go and play with Leeds in the Premier League

Miles Kimani David

You guys missed the biggest difference.

Dembele missed 2 times more games than he's played due to his injury problems.

Raphina isn't injury prone, he's a proper athlete plus he's growing in potential.

In my opinion, Raphina is much better than Dembele because we compared our best Dembele version to Raphina's normal numbers in a relegating team.

Personally I want to see Dembele leaving, because of his and his agent's arrogance and continous problem making.

M-S-N

Indeed this raphinha he’s the kind winger we need 💯 because he can dribble, he can scores, and he can assist, and what I admire the most he’s brazillian🇧🇷 and most of any winger coming from brazil he’s so good if you look at many giant team they have brazillian wingers so after raphinha barca need to add more of brazillians to our squad especially from the wings 💯 

EL Mu'az

Lol, comparing a player that play in leeds united in the premier league to the one that play for Barcelona is unjust, leeds play many of their games as underdog while barca mostly play as favorite, dembele has better team mates than Raphinha, compare dembele with Vinicious let's see... Or even Diaz of Liverpool, they are second too...

Niiyyii

Femi Oni Ezekiel

if Dembbele refuse to sign new contract let us sign Rraphi

Mohammed Kamara

What are u people saying?10 against 2 goals and ure saying a person who cost more than 4 times is better.Is assist and dribbling we're going to eat?Check the stats well ,both footed without output is shit

Linda Antwi

you are a successful footballer with the right team as well.... Dembele had Pedri and Busquets ... and Auba.... do you think he can had same chances as Raphinha .... No... 

as much as I love Dembele but I think considering where Raphinha is, He is also a great player who could show us wonders... 

Dembele should not repeat the same mistake as that he last Transfer window. He needs to be clear on his future than giving us headaches

and for God's sake, bring us Raphinha

Fredrick Nkhata

enough shit about dembele, I pray 🙏 he never renew. let us get raphinha and possibly Anthony, we move on and rebuild what as dembele offer us in the last 5 years? nothing! just a glimpse ✨ of action in 5 months and we debating, for what?

abdussalam muyideen

Well from the analysis and stats shows that dembouz is better than raphinha, but well he can replace him and i hope we can add anthony from ajax with him, if we can afford him, then we are good.

Juan999

You saying shit bro how did Liverpool bought vandjik?

Steelon Steel

Yes he can, if u play in a better team you do more...

Adamsadedayo

yea he good striker and have more goals than dembouz

cookgoose

I can see yo all are crazy trying to make Barca a Spain national team.

Above Blaise

wen it comes to transfers dis president called laporta x serious all....he will sit down and lose him to another club and said different thing

bartomeo x special dan laporta wen it comes to transfers

Kenny mel Parker

Jay Japheth

Nobody can replace Dembele including Neymar.... Dembele is too big for this comparism

Albert Justice (Ousmane....D)

Rafinha is good enough to play for barca any Brazilian players is good enough to play for barca check out the record from the past even Paulihno old timer was good enough to play ànd he delivered as for me Rafinhna is a better replacement for Dembele if insist of going bye bye he is not better than the goat (Messi)over all good luck Dembele wherever you go wish you a sussess in 2 season 2 come Rafinhna will be bomb 👍👍👍

Easy life

if Dembele is in leads United..... Raphina will be worshipping Dembele as God to him
how can you compare somebody that couldn't qualify for anything to Dembele with so many assist to make Barcelona qualify for everything game?
Dembele will show Barcelona that he is better than all this comparism

Dembele was good from January only and if he goes no problem

barcelonafan1632141757695719147

raphinha is far better player than dembele I swear.... I pray that barce sign him and the truth shall reveal

kingbona

As they are saying he can replace Dembele, who know coutihno from Liverpool will flop today that he is not getting playing.

Umar Fuseini

we need both of them, Man city, PSG, Man U, Madrid. look at the squad this team have yet they keep on buying more. And why can't barcelona add Raphinha to Dembele, in case one is injured the other one is there to replace him.

raph is good on his passes n shooting....n also de ball is close on his foot n dribble good dan dembele

Yaw Fosu

But Dembouz is unprofessional and made of glass

Gabriel Zendejas Chavez

he's better enough to replace dembele.
imagine him in such a small club and still doing well, when he have the likes of pedri and FDJ and busi in the midfield supplying him with passes, he'll score more goals and provide more assists.
pls we need him

Joshua Oguledo

Mohamed Sillah

as things stands, Raphinha definitely shows greatness to be better

Tay King

Dembele just started playing now.since he arrived at Barça he never play football. Dembele is a gud player, but one stat I want mention here is that Dembele lose too much balls,some times he misses balls by trying to dribble.If Rafinha can score goals  as he is doing at Leeds,then he will be an important player for us.

Jeanmarcel Detta

How pathetic it is for someone to compare Dembele with Raphinha.
Raphinha isn't even better than our very own Trincao currently on loan at Wolves. 
I've watched the lad closely and he's not even close to Demebele.
U have already a flop in Ferran Torres, now u want to waste money on another one that his team are relegated from the premier league.

You people are just shameless.

Nathan Omeke

Brazilian are always good 
they are die hard in the football

barcelonafan1627037506381138816

raphinha scoring ability is much needed in Barcelona like Neymar if the three from can score it give us better chance of winning trophies

Abu Kanneh

Salman Khan

Goals count a whole lot more than the rest indicators.

Gbenga

My friend, you're just wasting my time.
You can blame Dembele's injuries on Barca's past medical team and not him!
And secondly, performing well in another team doesn't give you the full assurance that the same form will be replicated in Barcelona (now, I'm not in anyway against Raphina joining Barca).
Because we've seen that with Coutinho, Griezmann, Andre` Gomez and so on.
Even Dembele was the best player in his team before Barca went for him to replace Neymar. So could see the difference, right.

Khalee14

Heartless fans always forgetting what u said yesterday because today didn’t come as u expected

Murtala Garba Danmaliki

raphina is good bot he cannot replace ousman

Deco barcelona fc

Lol fools shouting Rafinha is better, you want to buy Lewandoski and you are letting the assist maker go for a scoring winger. How will Lewandoski score who will feed him.? Stingy Andy Fati or Scoring Rafihna. Is like Barca head is not correct at all. I pray we miss out on Lewandoski and Dembele join him In Bayern. You will all see.

Terri Clark

Raphina have more goals than dembele in a small club for me I think what Barcelona need is someone that will score goals an Raphina is good

Uba1983 John

Barcelona should let dembele leave Raphinha is better him

Raphinha is a flgood replacement for Dembele... he'll have a clear chances and opportunity to showcase his talent even more when he comes to Barcelona. he's even better than Dembele in set pieces and he looks more determined

Coach Adedigba Adeniran Salenko.

Agbor benton

Sulaiman Ibrahim

Dembele has performed only in the last year of his contract that is 5th year... Raphinha plays for relegation prone Leeds and still scores 10 goals while Dembele has given 13 assists to La Liga's top team.
There is a huge difference.
Also I'm sure Raphinha I'm his 5th year at Barca would be 10X more better than Dembele is.

Sumit More 

the problem is, we complain about money too much, go and sign the boy and bring him to Barca and let Dembele go his way.

Morris B. George

is that a question,he can even replace Dembele family 🤣

Barriepaikon Mamou

Hudson Browning

Sulaiman Kamara

Raphina is a goal scorer and assist provider whilst Dembele is only good at assist. I will prefer Raphina any day and in the midst of a superior team like Barca his numbers will improve significantly 

mac-

Raphinha can actually replace Dembele easily. We need more goal from wingers. That is what Barca has excelled at in the past. Prime Barca had goals flowing from all angles. That is what is happening to teams that are excelling like Liverpool, Bayern, Man City and Madrid. Their wingers score. Depending on a striker or depending on wingers feeding a striker is very predictable.

Not long ago, teams knew Barca players always wanted to cross it pass to Messi. It became difficult in champions league against big sides. Imagine if other players tried to score, we would have avoided some of the embarrassing defeats

Collins Mwenda

You cannot say that Dembele operates more as a playmaker and makes opportunities instead of trying to score. Let's face it, he is just poor at that. Even if he did, he would top the over-the-bar shots.

+ the premier league is supposedly ALOT more difficult than la Liga

Ottneel

I have been so quiet regarding this issue of Barcelona don’t have money all the time, if we don’t have money to buy players it means no trophies 🏆 we will have to wait until we have money, first we sold continho we got 20million, and atletico willing to pay for griezman 40 million, and many other players who are leaving and we keep complaining, what about the Spotify deals? We signed it we still complaining about money

bright lucky

Michael Melina

bad business, why can't they get a good player that knows how to score and dribble also speed

Monday Ukewu

don't compared dembele with raphina at all it's not possible don't let us do mistake again bring pijanic come used it in midfield owk pls and pls board

Walex Kolawole Olawale

dembele is injury prone compared to Raphinha

Tendai A Gonah

Dembele only played perfectly under Xavi … with Xavi and his tactics Raphinha will perform better as if we never lost a quality winger 🔥🔥… Respect Brazilian Gems they love challenges ….. he’ll give in his all playing for a world class team like Barca … Forca Barca 🔥🔥🔥

AMOATENG JNR

Tejan Niagara Misra

you people are full of drama,get him before another club will take him then you will have excuse to give

Ezeh Ernest

dembouz is a traitor he was sick from the time barca bought him now he much better he and his agent now demanding lots of money from Barcelona no way let him leave

Destiny Friday

Shollysax

😂😂there are players who plays well for small teams we should not forget that...I wish dembele to go to liver or mancity or bayern may be Barca will regret to let him go....dont you ask yourself why other big teams especially in premier league dont go for raphinha if he is that good than dembele... raphina is good but not than dembele

chogy

over hype....if dembele is Soo good as  you were saying it... Barcelona wouldn't have lost the match against Frankfurt... Barcelona will continue loosing with big team if they didn't stop depending on one playmaker... Barcelona should at least have 3or 4 playmaker or game changer in case of big matches...then we conquer the world

Opeyemi Abdul Hakeem

20 game n 34 game omo Demeble is better than him Jeri

Mr Osita

Is Raphinha left footed and right footed like Dembele?

BarcaFOREVER

Ishmeal Lassana Kamara

nobody can nt compare dembuz to the others

longlife kurdistan _barcelona

Till RAPHINHA is here, nobody can say he won't ADAPT

JULIUZ FRESHING

no ,he is nt good replacement coz dembuz both foots are the same

I don't know why u are comparing raphina to dembele , dembele only dribble and cross, and raphina who dribble and score. u see we are hearing raphina name even at leads let dembele go to big club if u can hear his name

aboowa

Theres one thing here you guys aren't comparing.. You cant compare leeds with Barca.. We have a better team than leeds.. We cant compare dembeles support to Raphinhas support.. I mean dembele has great players in his team unlike Raphinha... So this comparison i cant come to conclusions with it..

kãrtêlœ

He can replace him because the guy is too good

Nana Stanzy

the simple truth is that, a player cant be bigger than the club.. if dembele doesn't want to renew l, he can leave

Nnamdi Samuel

Yes, get him he is a Brazilian,only that make him superior

innocent ugochukwu

Absolutely not a good replacement for Dembele! I recommend CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU of RBL,he is exceptionally good 👍🏾 and He can fit into our style of play. I wonder why Barca officials are not requesting for his signature . A complete player he is!

Ernest Ntow

Big impact in his last 6months out of 5 years, and admin asking if rashinha can replace him, 

Is he Messi or Xavi. 

Admin no dey ask this kind question again.

Oluwadamilare Zeezcasual Ogundare

I prefer Rafinha,because he is injury free more than dembele and Leeds is a small team compare to barca and Premiership is more header than laliga,so I will choose Rafinha, but if dembele sign new contract is so welcome

Abdullahi Isholai

You can’t replace certain players because of their unique talent ( Messi, Iniesta, Busket etc) but we can build a better team.

Abdulai Jalloh

Raphinha all da way for me please we need him to me i feel goal is vital because goals gives us balloon d'or not assist.... If we could add Nkuku to our forward and even consider benching ferran we'll be unstoppable with Fati Raphinha Lewandowski Abu and Nkuku... +Ferran as surplus to requirements

Mezie45

What about possession lost, goal scoring chances missed, successful attempts on target and injury records? They should also be taken into consideration too!

Mubarak Abubakar

Dembele's stat is better than Raphinha because dembele play with better players. can someone tell me a player in Leeds who is better than or at the same level with  Auba? the answer is no,so if Raphinha get equal opportunity I think Raphinha can do better than dembele.

Ametogbe Mathew Anderson

He’s inconsistent , keep Adama and spend the money on the defence please

Magatte Gueye

Bashka Mohamud

we need to tell ourselves the truth. they are some areas Dembuz is very good than Raphinha. I just pray his signing will bring joy for us not regret

ADELEKE JOHN MAJESTY (Mr.)

Raphina can never be good enough than Dembele …..why will Leeds united be in relegation zone

If you are good player 🤦🏻‍♀️

Koeman era….Dembele is not in that squad and we in 9th position but as at today we know how Barcelona is and how the all squad is working hard
