Dembele's contract extension has not progressed, and Barca intend to sign back the British over-man king
Barca's winger Osman Dembele's contract will expire tomorrow summer, and when head coach Xavi first took office, Xavi had high hopes for Dembele, saying that Dembele would play a pivotal role in the tactical system in the future, after messi left, Dembele is the only player in the Barca team who can have the ability to fight individually, and has the ability to organize and deepen. It is based on this that Dembele is reluctant to renew its contract and wants more generous contract conditions. However, Barca is worried that in the 5 years since signing Dembele, Dembele has been plagued by injuries and spent half of his time in a hospital bed, so Barca are not willing to provide more generous contract conditions. At present, the negotiations between the two sides have come to a standstill.
Dembele
After the Dembele negotiations have stalled, Barca's transfer department is not idle, they have set their sights on the Premier League, and they intend to sign the Premier League's king: Adama Terraore. Adama Traore is a Spaniard, a fringe international for the Spanish national team, currently playing for Wolves in the Premier League, he is from Barca's La Masia youth training and is currently in contact with the Barça dressing room, so Barca's sports department has set its sights on its former veteran, Wolves winger Traoré.
Adama Traoré
Terraore: A winger with polarization, clear advantages and disadvantages
Friends who often watch the Premier League must be very familiar with this player, Adama Terraore is not only the Premier League, but also the famous king of the five major leagues. According to statistics, he is the player with the most turnovers in the five major leagues in 2021. This season's Premier League, Adama Traore has successfully passed 81 times, ranking first in the Premier League; last season, Adama Traore completed 152 successful passes, 56 times higher than the second place; in the 19-20 season, Adama Traore completed 182 successful passes, also ranked first... It can be said that this is a true king of excellence, at the same time, he also has two unique stunts to assist him, one is a strong body, although Traoré is a winger, but a strong muscle like a rugby player, even in the Premier League that emphasizes physical confrontation, Traoré is not vain at all, and his strong body has become the best assistant for his excellence
Terraore has a strong body
The second assist is his skill, he once revealed that before the game, he often put lubricating oil on his arm to keep opponents from catching him, which is also a small trick for him to be successful.
Dembele's passing and speed are already superior, but compared to Tramore, it is still much inferior, and its physical strength is far behind. Compared to Dembele, Terraore also has a significant advantage, which is the low injury rate. During his career, Traoré did not suffer too many injuries, and according to statistics, during the Wolves, Adama Traore's injury days added up to only 33 days. And Dembele? Having been in a hospital bed for nearly 600 days just after coming to Barca, Dembele has never played a complete season for Barca. It can be said that Dembele is a full-fledged "glass man".
Dembele was a "glass man"
Compared with Dembele, Traoré's injury is a significant advantage, but Traoré also has obvious shortcomings, this fatal flaw is an important factor hindering him to go to the big platform club, what is this disadvantage? In the words of the fans, it is: "The body is superb, the shooting and passing is community level." "That was evident in the game. Watching Traoré's matches closely, it can be seen that Traoré often does not know what to do next after a successful pass. Passing, extremely poor vision, low success rate, often successful and then passed to the opponent's feet; the shot, can be described as unsightly, his shot may not be as good as Dembele.
Finally, let's look at Traore's stats, which are direct statistics that reflect the ability of a striker, and when Barca signed dembele, Dembele's 20 assists in a single season was his pitch. And Traoré? Wolves have played 21 league games so far this season, and actually played 19 league rounds (2 of which have been postponed due to the epidemic), and in 19 rounds of Wolves' leagues, Adama Traoré has played 18 games, but in these 18 games, Traoré has scored 0 goals and 0 assists, without any gains. After already making 151 appearances for Wolves, Adama Traoré scored 10 goals and 18 assists, while Dembele made 127 appearances for Barca, with 31 goals and 24 assists. Dembele has fewer chances to play, but plays better than Terraore, so in terms of passing and shooting, Tramore is far from Dembele, and as a winger, it can be described as a failure.
Barca should not rush to the hospital, and the signing of the British king needs to be cautious
Even if Dembele does not renew his contract, Barca do not have to rush to sign Adama Traoré. Barca are currently lacking wingers with both organizational ability and passing ability, Terraore does not have the ability to organize the attack at all, if you only look at his ability to excel, it is not as good as betting on his own young players, the current team Aboud, Ahomark, Hutrague and other young players have great potential, the cost of training is far lower than signing Traore. Due to the impact of injuries this season and the lack of sufficient reinforcements, many of Barca's youngsters have been given ample opportunities to play, which is also a huge growth opportunity for the youngsters.
The youngsters in Barca have plenty of opportunities
In my opinion, Barça should not rush to the hospital, even if Dembele leaves, it should also carefully find a replacement candidate, can not be hungry, and the signing of the British premier king should be carefully considered. It should be thought that the signing of Dembele and Coutinho is not the consequence of barca's senior management rushing to find a replacement for Neymar after Neymar left?
