Seems to me that if Poch can work such wonders with players then we have a player in Dembele who has all the potential to be an absolute world beater and all he needs is the right guidance to make him so.
I'm probably more intrigued by the impact Poch could have on Moussa than on any other player we have on our books.
I genuinely believe that Dembele has everything that a top CM needs to be successful, he simply lacks the decision making in attacking areas to be truly special. He has the strength, speed and skill already, tackles back well and goes past opposition players better than most. His passing ability is ok, he just needs to be smarter when in possession to pick the right pass to contribute to the team.
Could be a huge season for Dembele IMO.
The fact that you had to use a game he played for Fulham and not us as an example says it all.I remember a game Dembele had for Fulham against Man U where he bossed it from start to finish. He closed down, tackled, passed and drove Fulham forward. If Poch can get him doing that on a regular basis then you're right he can be a world beater.

Lots of players show that they are capable for a match or two. I remember Jamie O'hara played brilliantly against Ronaldo at left back.True but at least it shows he's capable.
My point about Dembele is that he has the ability to be one of our best players. I also still think he has played well for us at times but has just lacked consistency and bravery in the final third.
Dembele bossed games for Fulham against good teams many times, and it was in the same position he should be playing for us now.Lots of players show that they are capable for a match or two. I remember Jamie O'hara played brilliantly against Ronaldo at left back.
