yeah at Everton he was fantastic.. great player. he chose to play at home but at everton he could of been a star for awhile. for me he is the best american player I ever saw. I think Pulisic could possibly surpass him in the future if he continue his progression

As far as Pogba goes, he has suffered from the same thing as Martial. He hasn't lived up to the hype the Man U crowd put on him, but he's been pretty damn good nonetheless.

I can’t put Dembele on the same level yet. He has similar talent but he’s done it for a year at a top side. Granted injuries last year derailed him and it’s always tough to join a new side like Barca but Mbappe’s performances at Monaco in the league and UCL were much more dominant. In hindsight, his Monaco team was pretty loaded with talent as we’ve seen them get poached left & right but Dembele’s Dortmund team was pretty solid.





Regarding Pogba, you would think Lukaku would be the perfect striker for his style right. Great at playing off the back-shoulder, pretty good in 1v1 situations and even though he’s much better with his back-to-goal, it’s still one of the weaker parts in his game (not as weak as his touch which is atrocious IMO). I’ve never seen Pogba this locked-in defensively either.

Dembele I feel will be bossing the winger position soon enough.. one can hope Barca are quick to sell and someone takes advantage... (cough Chelsea cough)

Yeah, I’m not anti-Dembele so I hope I didn’t come off that way. I’d take him at Chelsea in a heartbeat.
