Fulham OS now saying he's currently having a medical at Spurs.
Moussa Dembele
- Thread starter The Neviller
- Start date
We will bid on him too
From your post it actually sounds like we have that player. The problem is more-so who plays next to him.
Wtf are you on!
Shame. You have to think this signing was a summer too early for us as he seems to tick all the right boxes, but with Anderson Cleverley, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs and possibly Fletch as well we probably wouldn't be able to accommodate them all. We will almost definitely be after someone next summer though
So far it's a fee agreed theres still a glimmer of hope surely no? No doubt this would be negotiated throughout the night?
You get to keep him for 2 years. Then he'll move to us. How the world works.
Great - we have to face him on two more occassions at the very least this season.
I beg your pardon?
From Fulham's site:
"Martin also confirmed post match that the club has accepted a bid for Mousa Dembele From Tottenham Hotspur, the player is currently undergoing a medical."

Also - following on from my previous question - Fulham also have a better website than United do.

feck sake.
Well come on, when a player is doing a medical for another club it's usually about time to give up the muppetry.
Bollocks if it's down to the medical stages then he's off to the spuds. To the <insert thread here> thread. Whichever one that may be.
Nah, that's our lot now. As others have said we have had a much better summer than expected. So all we can do is just stick a few more duracell up Scholes' arse, and wait and see how it all pans out! 
Really good signing for Spurs and will work well alongside either Sandro or Parker.
No surprise we haven't been interested. We have numerous midfielders that operate in what would be his position.

In terms of the system, of a midfield 5, he would give us more options than just having Kagawa sitting just behind the frontline. It would help us control possession and the midfield more than we currently do.
This would actually mean the Clev, and Anderson won't be forced into a crazy attacking midfield role where they are not as effective as making space and finding the right forward pass as they would do. Basically Dembele will give us a better option, if we are forced to apply pressure on the opposition, we can sacrifice one of the midfielders, for Demebele, and still help us retain possession easier. His passing stats are impressive, in almost all parts of the field.
Sorry, but you've been bumped down the pecking order ... by the same club that took Ronaldo from you.
It has happened before and will happen again.
Do you not remember the Claude Berghauus deal??
Excellent business by Spurs
Looking forward to the draw on Thursday?
Aye tidy signing. They did well to whip the whole thing into shape so quickly.
Are you really gloating about that?
I think he may just be doing that....
Not a tad jealous of this signing Chief? I have to admit i am.
Get real. If united were going to bid for him then he'd have known a long time ago. He wouldn't be rushing to a medical late at night for Spurs.
I think your assessment of him is gravely wrong. Look at the below video for evidence of just how wrong and pay special attention to the position he is holding in relation to where the rest of his central midfielders are.
He will very often play as the deepest midfielder of 3 and although he can still be pushed into an ACM or outside forward role he can also do exactly the type of screening role Carrick does for us albeit with a little less defensive skill and more offensive playmaking ability. He should even be able to play alongside Carrick
If he is going for 15mil we should be in there for him.
How do we know he was rushing?
Actually, I was responding to a poster who was gloating about Carrick and Berbatov.
Not sure why he/she was though, since Spurs weren't unhappy to receive nigh on £50m for the pair.
"Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true."
We need Sir Froggie in the getawaymobile for a quick kidnap.
Far too many people are reading too much into that one game against us.
It's a fecking bizarre way to judge a player. Yes he showed great qualities and gave us problems, doesn't mean that's how he plays week in week out, or that he's what we need.
Don't spoil it bryan, walking casually to his medical is far less dramatic!
Yeah, and spurs ended up with a lot of trophies and a modern new stadium.
Oh, wait...
feck it, it's like teasing a child.
You are nothing more than a state robot
