I would imagine not as much, if you actually think about your sentence.It's a bitter irony that he has been so good, that we probably won't be able to sign him permanently.
Maybe if we go up we could secure him for another season or even on a permanent - I mean if kids in care is worth 1.5 million to Simon Sadler, what must Karamoko Dembele be worth?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Tbf he wasn’t fit when he arrived, nobody is great every game not even Messi. His goals/assists will be up there with the best midfielders.He's good but people seem to forget his poor performances. He's done fcuk all in as many games as he's been good.

He's the second highest assist maker from midfield in the division and the sixth highest scorer from midfield in the division.
He's played less games than everyone above him in those two charts.
I've not got time to add it all up and work out if he's definitely got the highest goals+assists per game but I would strongly suspect he does.
He isn’t the best player in L1 thoughThe best player in League One by a country mile plus numerous other indicators of large distances, discuss. I can't think of anyone who even comes close.
And he will get a better salary / signing on package and will want to play at a higher level.Sadly, there's zero chance of him being here beyond the end of the season. Cship clubs will be casting their envious eye for a perm move. Brest will cash in... £1m+??
I think people just understand that 99% of players are average in half the games they play. It's the other half that count.He's good but people seem to forget his poor performances. He's done fcuk all in as many games as he's been good.
Very, very sadly, I suspect that will be true. Even worse, he could sign on at PNE…..why would he want to sign for us in all honesty with the sort of dross we have served up for most of this season. I could understand if we were playing like we did first half of championship season, or back in the Ollie days but not now, he will be off somewhere better and who could blame him
That’s because he’s a young lad not getting full games. He’s getting better and better the more minutes he getsHe's good but people seem to forget his poor performances. He's done fcuk all in as many games as he's been good.
Lol. Such a funny but stupid comment to make.He's good but people seem to forget his poor performances. He's done fcuk all in as many games as he's been good.
Nothing stupid about it. As said above he wasn’t even starting half the games earlier in the season.Lol. Such a funny but stupid comment to make.

He’s also too lightweight and easily gets shoved off the ball. Can’t argue about his skills though.
That is literally his job to show flashes of brilliance. That's how football works. Score goals and make assists. You aren't going to be in the game all the time.Thankyou. Some people's judgement is WAY over the top. He has flashes of brilliance and certainly looks to have tremendous ability but in a lot of games he is completely anonymous and as you say too small to have any effect on a game where the ball is being punted about by 6'2" League 1 hoofball merchants.
2 months ago you said he's probably worth less than 500K. Has your opinion changed?Thankyou. Some people's judgement is WAY over the top.

Never dives or goes down easy, I think the referees respect that so he will always win loads of free kicks and penalties.I’ve rarely seen a player kicked and knocked around on the ball yet somehow manage to stay on his feet or get back up and still retain possession of the ball
He is bloody brilliant to watch I’ll be sad when he goes
No. I'd stick with that.2 months ago you said he's probably worth less than 500K. Has your opinion changed?
He's better than that. Even his efforts that don't work out are a joy to watch. He just gets up and goes again. Magician.The best player in League One by a country mile plus numerous other indicators of large distances, discuss. I can't think of anyone who even comes close.
Wes and StanleyI can’t remember seeing a more technically gifted player in a Pool shirt. If the others in the team can create a bit of space for him to prevent opposition doubling up on him as Leyton Orient did then the next 10 (13 games hopefully) will be a joy to watch him play. When Rhodes came on at Shrewsbury his positional play pulled away defenders from him and gave him the space he needs.
Yes, Wes is up there as one of the best and Stanley before my time, started watching in 69.Wes and Stanley
So good they named him twice.Lua Lua is the most technically gifted player ive ever seen in a pool shirt. Not all round best player by a long stretch but technically brilliant.
Vastly different position obs but our Seamus was right up there with the best we've ever had, our best right back since Sir Jimmy.I can’t remember seeing a more technically gifted player in a Pool shirt.

Spot on observation. Critchley should be planning for this rather than leaving us light in midfield to accommodate a third centre half.I can’t remember seeing a more technically gifted player in a Pool shirt.

Aimed at all passing scouts searching the Web for informationHe's good but people seem to forget his poor performances. He's done fcuk all in as many games as he's been good.
Next level research that.On top of this. I read a stat a little while ago that he has a ludicrously high level of completed dribbles. The only player in league 1 or 2 with a similar success rate at that point?
Rob Apter.
Here's another fun fact.Next level research that.
To be fair that's probably why apter was loaned out as we had dembele. Two similar players
I don’t think he easily gets shoved off the ball - they usually have to foul him to get it off him!Nothing stupid about it. As said above he wasn’t even starting half the games earlier in the season.
He’s also too lightweight and easily gets shoved off the ball. Can’t argue about his skills though.
I don't think there will be a stat for this but I reckon he will be top if there was a stat for output per kg as he must be the lightest player in the league.Here's another fun fact.
Of all the players of any position who have played more that a few hundred minutes (i.e. one or two games or a few sub appearances) Dembele has the best assist per 90 ratio of anyone.
Only Mendez Laing comes close but he's setting up goals more frequently than him.
He's also top of the fouls against within a 3m radius on the same area of the pitch.I don't think there will be a stat for this but I reckon he will be top if there was a stat for output per kg as he must be the lightest player in the league.
I agree. He's a tenacious little fella. Doesn't act , dive , moan or whine. Just bounces right back up and gets on with it. Very refreshing to see in this day n age. Stronger than he looks and such close control that he just bamboozles opposition players.I don’t think he easily gets shoved off the ball - they usually have to foul him to get it off him!
