Dempsey signing watch

There is a poster on BigSoccer claiming that Dempsey has "verbal approval" and that official approval is expected Tuesday.

 

As a couple of you probably know by now, Dempsey is my favorite soccer player after McBride. So im with Jacob on this one, I don't know how much longer I can wait. I have been waiting and hoping ever since I first heard the rumors back in november or so.

If he can't get that work permit... It's gonna be a low blow.

 

You'll wait.... what choice do you have?

It will happen... the FPA can see that his caps have been affected by external issues.

 

Im just saying pettyfog. With my luck anything can happen.

 

flipping through this thread, I thought I should point out that the tribunal meets Wednesday of this week (the 10th).

I hadn't seen that mentioned.

 

Nice article on Deuce I just found, (they speak fairly low of McBride in comparison however :x ).

It of course mentions nothing about work permit.

 

I went back and read it again, Buchanan.... {was posted on T-F-I}
What he said is that McBride is the Craftsman, Dempsey the artist.

Not really a diss

 

So its either 2:30 or 3:30 in england they must have decided by now anyone have the word on weather or not he got a permit. I must say this is certainly shaping up to be one interesting transfer market for fulham. I see great potential to finnish the season strong if the new faces and old faces can gel together quickly.

 

That being said, I hope Niemi is healthy and can play!! :lol:

 

from the fulham message board...

after reading that I think I would prefer something more credible.

 

Yea that kinda killed his cred with alot of people....I think I'll drop Duece, that didn't come out right, I'll drop Clint a line on his MySpace, maybe he'll repond.

 

ITS OFFICIAL !!!

RE: ITS OFFICIAL !!!

There is still nothing official on the BBC or Fulham website as 3:45pm.

 

YES!

 

Great news! Welcome to the Cottage, Deuce. Now, ring up your buddy, Gooch, and get him to sign on!

 

I'm glad to see it finally over...and Duece coming to Cottage. The suspense was killing me. Now let's add a few more names to the roster and make a move up the standings....

 

Boston Herald says he's approved:
