    Size and strength don't seem to hold players back in other countries.

    If scotland had/can manage to tie him down to a Scotland cap, what an exciting future we would have along with Gilmour and even Hickey at such a young age.

    As others have mentioned if we expect to keep him beyond next year then I think he will need to get a chance. There’s no denying he is technically very talented and has some strike on him.

    It will be interesting to see how he handles the physical side as in the brief cameo against Cluj he was just bundled off the ball every time he got it. That was too short a time to judge him. I would be keen to see how he would perform on the right of a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 as unless you played him as one of the front 2, I don’t see where he would fit in a 3-5-2.

    Cluj are probably the most aggressive side we've faced in the last few year to be fair to him..

    True but I don’t think it’s unfair to predict he’ll receive similar treatment when he starts playing regularly. It’ll definitely be a challenge he has to overcome.

    100% but there is only one way to learn. Simon Donnelly and some other's were talking about getting kicked as kid's and some other player's in the lower league's (can't mind who now)...as the best thing that happened to them..

    Loads more say the same..

    He looks like he's bulked up a bit more as well..

    Good stuff, it’ll give him the best chance. Can’t wait to see more of him.

    His contract is a really tricky situation for the club.

    Probably won't get him to commit to a new deal unless he starts getting regular game time but if he gets regular game time before signing a new deal and he does well there's a real worry someone comes in and takes him for a small fee or on a bosman

    It will be either that or we will lose him for next to nothing with only a year left on his deal. To keep him he will likely need to be in and around the first team regularly in the first couple of months of the season so we can convince him to sign a new deal.

    Given the hype around Dembele from such a young age we are in a tricky position with him, we need to convince him he will get first team opportunities, therefore it is worth staying here. If he plays well then convincing him to stay here and develop for another season or two will be the next challenge with the inevitable interest from clubs from bigger leagues that will come trying to tempt him away.
