I have been away and computor free for a few days. Whilst on my expedition a rumour whistled through that we had signed a Mousa Dembele. Possibly French or from a French Club. Nowt as far as I can see on the News pages on the Club Forum. Did we or am I going to have to line up a rumour monger assassination.
Its a bit wierd actually. You go away for a few days and not much seemed to have happened outside of the usyual transfer stuff and a couple of friendlies. Roll on the second week of August for goodness sake ..............
actually belay that. All the best Corked Hat.
we were linked with a 16 year Moussa Dembele who is a striker for PSG youth team but I'm not sure whether we actually signed him. There is nothing on the official site.
Pretty sure this is a done deal - it's been reported as signed, and I'm pretty sure there was a photo of him training with the team.

I think he's signed.
Good source within the acadamy set up says he is signing and the club are just tying up a few loose ends :54:
Filling the squad with diarras and dembeles, sounds like great tactics against marking.

...we should have kept Riise junior to cause total confusion..!

Actually, Riise Jr was still listed in the first team squad on the offal last night, so I propose we get Ryan Williams out of the Development squad, and sign both his brothers too.
Thanks for that. I guess those with a Dembele shirt need not panic now. I get the long term view here and we now have a host of great young talent, some of them potentially near to being on the bench. Would I be right in thinking the short term deals and contract extensions in the first team squad are all part of a tactic to nurture these youth signings for another year before unleashing them. Bringing down the average age of an aging squad was never going to be solved by a few changes in the first team. Flippin excited already if it is.

Don't forget Dalle Valle and Dale Verde adding to the confusion
