EPL Season 2011-12-Player ratings : Moussa Dembélé

1. Moussa Dembélé

Club : Fulham FCCountry : BelgiumPosition : Central attacking midfielder (CAM)

This season has certainly brought out the best in the Belgian and has seen him take his club to a respective 9th position with a realistic likelihood of overtaking Liverpool and settle into eighth place after the end of the final gameweek.

Here is a general assessment of his skills :

• Ability to pick out extraordinary passes in the final third of the pitch,releasing players in on goal
• Shows great agility by dribbling past players without breaking pace.
• Displays maturity in decision making.
• Seldom gets caught in possession.
• Plays crusial defencive role.
• Shows vision and creativity of a master which remains unmatched in the EPL this season.

Potential transfer targets:

Manchester City,Manchester united,Tottenham Hotspur

Most suitable : Manchester United

Manchester United‘s interest in recruiting the Belgian is justified due to the departure of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes at some point of time,we would assume.It would create a need for a player like Dembélé to bridge the gap between the midfield and the strike force.The availability of wingers like Valencia and Young will prove to be an enhancer to his game and help him execute his plays with consistency.SAF has a history of buying talented individuals and focusing on their strengths to mould them into world class players.He should avoid a transfer to the blue half of Manchester if he wants regular first team action.Players like Samir Nasri and Yaya Toure are already established in the position of attacking midfield making it tough to claim their places.The reason he shouldn’t join Spurs is pretty simple.If he’s looking to upgrade to a ‘world class club’,Tottenham,at the moment don’t exactly do justice to that tag.
