Keep keep keep. Clearly has his uses. Way he's done last 2 games he might even be a late bloomer for us, and he could offer a lot.
Mason has had some injury problems and Bentaleb is bound for the ACN, deffo should not be looking to sell the moose.

Physically he's strong as an ox and technically he's brilliant, I get the feeling we've never seen his max potential.
Keep the Belgians together!
This thread needs a bump. I hope Mason makes it back into the squad soon, but you have to admit that Dembele's muscle in midfield was crucial versus Chelsea (and in his last couple of appearances). Opposing midfielders have had to respect his strength and allow him space to open up and connect with some of our more skilled assassins, who are in turn able to run free into space, assured that they won't have to cover and prepare to try to retake possession. Basically great at a holding role. He's been a vital part of this run and I want to see him get more opportunities. Kudos again to Poch for getting the chemistry right.
Everton wont sell mcarthy for less than £25m, Schneiderlin won't go for less than £30m . And oh keep Capoue.
I've read that Mason is back in training already. Those young legs heal fast.
Thought he played his best game for Tottenham last night a joy to watch.
I am just gutted that I can't ram that performance down the throats of that snide CCJ & weirdo cahspur who said he can't play in an advanced role. Anyway I'm just delighted that this graceful footballer not only turned on the Ole's he grafted hard too.

Agree with the Dembele part. Not so much with the CJJ bit mate, thought he was fairly open minded with a shitload of stats, gifs and whatnot. Kinda miss the fella.Thought he played his best game for Tottenham last night a joy to watch.

Still..... I'd like to see Dembele do this more often against the top sides. Then I reckon we'd all be winners
Agreed, Dembele looks a lot more accomplished in that role. But Eriksen should occupy that part of the pitch. Dembele a decent backup doe.
Dembeles taking on of three utd defenders last night was sublime. Watched the Spurs TV highlights back again this morning after watching the game live and MOTD last night (can't get enough) and the commentator was saying "take a bow Dembele" for that move.
He has so much untapped potential. Hoping Poch can carry on getting the best out of him.

Yeah, Dembele was very good there last night but it shouldn't be to the detriment of our best player.
His form and confidence seemed to drop off a cliff but we must keep him. He's looked really good of late.
Thought it was his best game in ages for us, think he showed enough he can be good backup option to Eriksen in the 10 role. More importantly last night showed how much more dangerous we look with Kane as lone striker. No more Bobby or Ade thanks
I'm pretty sure when he played in Holland that was his role just off the strikers. A flexible 3 behind Kane with Chadli-Lamela-Dembele-Townsend fighting for the 2 spots alongside Eriksen. We've found a player in Benji who will rotate with Mason & Bentaleb behind them
Definitely Dembele's best game in a long long time. He seems like he's shooting more lately and he played some nice through balls. All promising signs.
Although it's a beauty to watch, he still dribbles/holds on to the ball for far too long some times. Hopefully this can be coached. We know he can glide by just about anyone, but the ball moves faster than anyone on the pitch. He still needs to adjust his game if he wants to fit.

God no, we look toothless with them on.
