    He is nowhere near ready to play a full blown, competitive, professional football game. He is literally a child.

    You get guys that have talent and the physique to match at a young age eg) Rooney. Then you get the likes of Dembele who’s small for his age, even living the life of a pro athlete as he has been.

    Christ imagine chucking him in against that bunch of thugs.

    He's still a good way off his debut IMO. He's very small. Even for his age.

    It's not everything of course but he needs to be able to at least compete slightly in a physical sense. Even if his technical ability shags them all.

    Aye he should be nowhere near the team for a long while yet. Until he develops physically.

    Good for hype and attention, even if it is just 2 mins at the end of a won game.

    Think you're exaggerating ever so slightly...

    He's 16 mate, can get married, get his hole (legally) drive a moped, work full time, can even pilot a * glider!

    I'm sure he can play a game a fitba...

    He was 17 mate.. I made the comparison as I think Dembele will always be small in stature like Messi..

    Ahhh, then my apologies!

    Thought the wee * was nearly 17.

    No chance he's ready then until at least near the end of next season.

    Would be negligence to throw him in at this stage..

    He'd honestly get hurt. He's tiny even for his age of almost 16..

    Needs to be carefully managed as he's a major major talent but needs to let his body mature a bit first..

    He’s no even a regular in the reserves yet.

    He’ll be in and around the squad for the 10IAR season.
