Dembele to Barca he is going to shine. The guy has had meteoric rise from Rennes mid-table club in Ligue 1 to Barca in 4 years.

I feel like with Barca FO collapsing and his rise being so fast, he's headed for a career setback. Not one that'll kill his career, but I think he gets sold for 75 cents on the dollar to Arsenal in 2 years.

Tottenham and Madrid making it out of the Group H. Tottenham is a better team than Dortmund despite the loss to Chelsea last week in addition Dortmund is losing Dembele not to say that they don't have a habit of replacing quality guys with others. I still think Spurs are better than Dortmund.

I agree that Barca overpaid and everybody is taking advantage of Barca because of the money they got for Neymar and the pressure to replace such a great player in addition to Suarez being out for the first month of the season. So it's basically now a one-man team with Messi upfront. You go from the best attack in Europe with three of the top 5 best attacking player in the world to just one threat in Messi.

However, Dembele has nothing else to prove in the Bundesliga. He actually sparked interest even when he was at Rennes and also after his first season in Germany. But last season, he put up great numbers that people like me feel like Dortmund has become too small of a club for him. If he had gone earlier, he would have played behind Neymar I believe. Now that Neymar is gone, he is an instant starter.
