Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Concrete John]

Dempsey wants Champs League so why would he come here?

Same reason as he'd go to Liverpool - because he can't get CL football so will just look to bulk up his bank balance instead!

Also Fulham aint very happy with the way L''The Mighty Reds YNWA' have dealt with the Demsey thing, so they might prefer to do business with us over them. And, surely L'plops priority is a striker and they have been strongly linked with Sturridge in last 24 hours. They cant afford both.

Possible developments on Clint Dempsey's future as Sky Sports understands Fulham have agreed a fee with Aston Villa for the USA international. However, Villa boss Paul Lambert is apparently unaware of any possible deal for Dempsey, who has also been linked with Liverpool and Sunderland.

Which is surely why he won't come here?

Dempsey is quality. Please say it is so.

Have to say, I would prefer Bony to Benteke. He's not as big but he's strong as an ox, has a few tricks in his locker.

Obligatory youtube clip, all goals from last season. Love the title 'The African Hulk' I assume they mean the footballer not the big green fella?!

He looks good, he would certainly put some pressure on the oppositions centre-halves!

Dempsey and Benteke are completely different players, so if we are in for Dempsey then I would say we are in for both. Nice to see us being linked with Bony too which I would say is the backup plan if the Benteke deal doesnt go through.

No chance of getting Dempsey...he'll end up at Liverpool.  This is all just to smoke the Scousers out to make a decent offer.

[Duncan Shaw]

Oh fuckety fuckety fuck.
I'd promised myself I wouldn't come on here today and find out what had gone on first thing in the morning.
This is my tenth refresh of this thread, and now I'm slavering.

Scousers now linked to Leandro Damiao...think it's between us and Sunderland for Demspey.

[PaulTheVillan]

Hopefully Liverpool are after Sturridge

Randy, go get one over on MON, you know you want to...it'll feel lovely. Yeah. Just do it Randy.

[ozzjim]

If Dempsey comes in still think an out and out striker will too.

[PaulTheVillan]

Benteke or Kenwyne Jones I'd imagine.

Ryan Babel released by Hoffenhiem....
