Today's Fulham Runners & Riders & Breaking Fulham news - Merged

[TonyGilroy]

I think Diddy Dave will give up before seasons end.

Oh Gentleman Jim, it is going to be a long year

[FulhamMic]

Was at the club today after agreeing €12m fee.

However, just confirmed by Sam Matterface that he's been put on a plane back to Holland after we were unable to agree personal terms. So close!

[sipwell]

I am not really too impressed by him, to be honest. And he is rather far off the superb midfield of the Belgian team, unlike Dembélé.

[DevonFFC]

Where you pluck that from... I heard we wanted messi but couldn't agree a fee

[Jack Fulham]

apparently £6 Million as well?

Jol managed him at Hamburg and he's 23.

Isn't he also a fair bit younger than Dembele?  And, IMO, Dembele could have picked his club so it's no shame not being as good as a guy like that :P

[FulhamMic]

Sam Matterface on TalkSport just now.

[DevonFFC]

If we wanted him and bid that much then I'm pretty sure it would have been public and also we would have stumped up the wages... He isn't that good

[Enter the Frei]

well Dembele was nowhere near the level his is now when he joined for 5 mil at the age of 23.

Lets see how he does, he looks like he's got talent and could be exactly what we need.

[FulhamMic]

Apart from the Berbatov deal (and a lesser extent Richardson) we have no idea what players we've been in for. We only knew about those two for sure because Jol confirmed the rumours yesterday.

He will be.

[rusty shackleford]

Gone to Real Madrid

[westcliff white]

as i mentioned ages ag on the old CC site, he was asking for circa 70k per week but that we were still talking to him, fee agreed back then was around 10 million euros

his agent had sated the would not take less than 5.5 times his cuurent salary which is reported as 12k euros.

having broke our wage barrier for berba i cannot see us doing it again

[General]

Is "Matterface" an actual name?

I'm gonna try that negotiating technique when I go for a new job, then bitch and moan if they only offer me 4 times...

[DevonFFC]

I would like a big name signing before end of the day... Something special

[Nero]

Well if Clint goes to Spurs it could free up some extra wages, saying that though Im sure Matterface is fed porkies by the Mrs to make him look stupid

[supersimmo123]

Must be total tosh.. think about how many times the Twente chairman comes out and lets the world know about us bidding for his players... Ruiz... Douglas...

[BerbaCottage]

Reports linking these guys out of Tottenham, we could use them, and would kill two birds with one stone...We would have made a huge profit, improved the squad, and gained two marquee signings, to go with the other additions, and still have the ability to get involved with others if possible.
