Having begrudgingly accepted that Ramsey is better than dembele, the focus in now upon his comparison with Jack Wilshere.
Both unorthodox CMs in their style of play, they are also have quite similar strengths and weaknesses - very good dribblers of the ball, good passers, and both lack 'productivity' to their game ie goals and assists.
In my opinion I would say, at this moment in time, Dembele is currently the better of the two. This is mainly due to his vastly superior defensive qualities, whilst, offensively, they are pretty even imo.
Thoughts?
Wilshere vs Dembele

Also it's not really 'changing your tune' if a player simply improves

Dembele's better now but like Ramsey Wilshere will overtake him soon.

Wilshere has shown no signs of improvement in the past 2 seasons

First off he was injured for 1 and half of those seasons. Just like Ramsey he will improve. Dembele is 26 now and he will never be elite.

Dubbed, so why do arsenal fans always refer back to 2010? I know he's been injured but his progression has still been halted, no?

When he's been playing he has NOT played better than he was 3 years ago = showing no signs of improvement (as of yet)

Analog you are an odd poster, you miss the finer aspects of football. Try looking at the bigger picture. I never wrote off Ramsey because I saw how good he was against Portsmouth in like 2010, that talent doesn't disappear. Its almost always psychological when a player can't reach those heights for a while, but most do in the end. No reason why Jack can't, he has great mental strength

The argument is who is better now and arsenal fans are going by wilshere of 2010, is my point
