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

[Virgil Caine]

Regarding Dempsey- surely this is a ploy by Fulham to up the ante from Liverpool especially as PL has no knowledge of any offer? I can see Dempsey preferring the prospect of European football and an increase in wages over an offer from us. However I am unsure of where he would fit in the Bindippers set up but I can see him being the perfect foil for DB - fingers crossed.

Sky continued....................
Clint Dempsey is now 1/2 to join Aston Villa but Liverpool are still 2/1 to secure his signature

maybe he,s Best Mates with Big Brad ? ....................Godzvilla!

Lambert will talk to PF regarding accepted offer. Maybe its something that developed early this morning and would explain why lambert is unaware

Could be as simple as that. Lambo might not be aware it was accepted yet if it happened while he was in bed/at home.

Sky reckon it happened while he was in this mornings presser, therefore why he said he was unaware of any deal. Didnt say he wasnt interested...

“@MatKendrick
Paul Lambert very indecisive when asked about interest in Clint Dempsey this morning. Just a case of watch this space on that one, I think”

[dicedlam]

The American connection could be a very valid reason why Dempsey is on the radar.

James nursey tweeted
"Alot of smoke and mirrors on deadline day!  #AVFC fans really should not expect Clint Dempsey to join. Sorry!"

He is usually very reliable when it comes to transfer matters at villa.

[frank black]

The Dempsey bid suits both teams.

It flushed Liverpool out into putting an offer in, which helps Fulham

It may make Genk pick up the phone and say do you still want Benteke, possibly accepting our offer.

Can you see us paying Dempsey £70 to £80k a week? Nah it's bobbins

[Summers]

I really don't want it to be bobbins. Dempsey would be a stunning signing.

Mat Kendrick just tweeted
"So it seems Clint Dempsey is holding out for a Liverpool despite Villa and Fulham agreeing a fee"

[AvFc4eVeR]

Liverpool haven't got £7m, what money they have got is going on Sturridge, if Dempsey is holding out for them, he might be waiting until January.....

Any chance of a summary, anything happened with Villa since last night?

I'm sure the deal has been talked about its just that it hit the media before Lambert could confirm or Deny anything

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Cracking player that Dempsey is, he'll be 30 next birthday. Can't see it happening.

[Steve67]

Jenas going to blunderland. What a shit signing if it goes ahead, at least it may rule them out of trying to sign Dempsey I suppose. Can't understand why Pete Colley hasn't been back on yet. Get those sarnies eaten you fat chuffer. Brown sauce, BROWN SAUCE!!

[Summers]

Supposedly Liverpool have been offered Leandro Damiao on loan for about 3mil with the option to buy next summer for 13mil.
