    Yeah, that seems as likely as Dempsey going to Everton for roughly the same price. Why would he go there? And why would Fulham get so little for him? Might as well hold onto him for a another year for that price.

    Apparently we offered him a four year deal worth £10m. There was some tweets suggesting he wants to stay. That doesn't sound like a helluva lot for a player of his quality. That would be MLE quality in basketball, adjusting for money differences and all of that.

    And is that the only reason Everton are set to miss out? Me thinks not.

    Now we want £5m? I really hope writers are being lazy and going off that random number thrown out a couple of weeks ago when Everton were first linked as that's still way too cheap.

    Re: The Dempsey and Dembele watch thread

    For Dempsey, I've seen 4M on the low end and 23M on the high end. Suspect it'll wind up being 10M given his age and that he's only got a year left on his current deal. That's if, in fact, he actually leaves.

    We have the same average salary as Everton, so no idea how they entered the discussion. They are no more likely for Europa/Champs Lg than Fulham.

    Sounds more and more like he's staying. But I will not get my hopes up too much until the window closes and he's still a Cottager.

    Sounds optimistic. Assuming he stays, who sits? I'm guessing Murphy more often than not and we'll see Diarra and Dembele at CM. Not good for Sidwell. Surely we won't move him into the CAM slot. We need goals from that spot.

    For Dembele, it would be the wise move. He's incomplete as a player and playing regular football with us will only sweeten the pot for him down the road. Leaving now, I think he'd not only get "prospect" money, but "prospect" treatment as well where he'd wind up stuck on someone's bench and stall his development.

    When will the real wheeling and dealing heat up for these two? After the Euros?

    I'm wondering the same thing. I don't understand the transfer period as much as free-agency over here. It seems like when top free agents are available in any major sport, it's all you hear about 24-7 (hello Manning, welcome to denver!) the silence is killing me. what happens if it's a last minute deal and then fulham are stuck with $10M and no one to sign? from an accounting stand point, great I guess.

    The window doesn't open until July 1. All the dealings so far have either been free-agent movers or "agreements" between clubs. As for Frei, IIRC, you can't play out your contract and leave on a free until you are older than he will be next summer.

    I feel like a kid at Christmas. We're going to have handful of new faces to see soon. I guess i've already come to complete grips with the reality that Demps and Dembele are gone.

    Bring on the new blood!

    We'll see about Dembélé. I have my hopes a bit up on him staying. But, yeah, we're going to have to go shopping to replace our Forwards that have left over the past 6+ months and most likely Dempsey.

    Demps was supposed to play in Messi's charity match last night in Miami, but I didn't see him mentioned in the only newspaper account I read (Jozy, Boca and Edu were).

    Anybody got the 411?

    Fulham recalled or requested him not to play. Some are speculating because they don't want him to risk injury because of a potential transfer move.
