So Sir Les just said they would joke with Dembele that if he carried on performing as well as he can, he'd be the next player to go to Real Madrid.
How do people feel about this? Is it just a light-hearted joke? Is it perfectly reasonable to use Madrid as a carrot to motivate our players? Or does it imply that we're not remotely serious about trying to hold on to our best players?
Personally I think that, even in jest, it's a damning comment that goes against the idea that we're trying to build a competitive team.
