Not had a good season. Not turned up all to frequently. Not showed his undoubted ability enough.

Difficult to think of another player in our history who has been such a major asset in big games yet made such an underwhelming impact in the week to week domestic stuff.

A 1 in 2 ratio in Scotland is actually pretty mediocre for a striker with Dembele’s talent. He should be absolutely tearing it up, not trailing Kris Boyd in the scoring charts. It’s not just his scoring record though; it’s the number of ineffective, nothing performances he produces like the one we saw today, against Dundee in midweek, Motherwell a fortnight ago, etc, etc. A year ago I thought we’d sell him to PSG or Man City. Now it’s more likely to be Brighton.

What’s :ffs: about that?

For a player of Dembele’s considerable talent, he should be absolutely tearing our league up.

Yep. Henrik absolutely tore much better teams apart on a regular basis. You wouldn't see him treating wee teams with contempt

Dembele's performances in the last month or two have been brilliant. :ponder:

It's difficult for our strikers to play on their own up there against teams who are sticking 11 behind the ball.
Eh? Seriously???
Yes. :ponder:

That's my view on things.
Hartson, Sutton and Larsson were all big game players, who hammered the wee teams as often as the bigger opponents.

That's were the questionable aspect of Moussa's 'application' arises.

He often fails to deliver on the wee stage.

Mate any Celtic fan on here with half a brain can see from last year he is a very good footballer but he is way off what he can be this season surely to feck you see that?

His value whether it suits your argument or mine has decreased due to his performances this year and that cannot be disputed. Ive seen to many half arsed performances this year to think otherwise. He and we could have picked him to go to most clubs but doing us no favours just now that’s not going to happen.

Gaffer seems to trust him and be impressed ongoing by picking him along with error prone boyata and Sinclair who has also fallen off a cliff this season.

Main reason we have struggled this year is down to people that we ALL know can perform better.... constantly not performing to levels we know they can

Hartson, sutton and larsson were better players and had far better players around them to help them out. They also played in a dynamic attacking team, not the side ways, pass it back keep the ball at all cost pish we have just now.

It's practically the same team who cuffed all and sundry last year.

Quite often it is the role of the strikers to get the ball rolling in games, and wether it's symptomatic of the team or not, we aren't exactly assuming that MD is going to fetch the potential £30m or figures we saw mentioned last year.

Simple fact is, if you struggle to score against very weak opposition, it really doesn't say much about your ability. (In respect of how prospective buyers may view it)

What else does he need to do?

He's scored 5 in his last 6 games. 2 of those games are the hardest games we'll have all year domestically and he also bagged an assist in both of them.

You can’t really compare them.

Hartson and Sutton had already tasted top level football and were vastly matured in comparison.

Henke had been to a World Cup semi final before he joined us.

Either Moussa isn’t giving 100% every week or he’s not half the player we all thought he was.
