I hope this isn't true!!!

He doesnt comment anywhere in there that we're not signing anyone, just that he doesn't know whats going to happen and will continue to work with the players he has. Nothing new there.
Would be a big risk not bringing anyone in, and would love for someone to come in now, but we have enough quality to win the next 2 in my opinion so it's over to the team to get the job done and see what we've managed come the end of the month.
Keeping calm until the 31st for the time being and will be very frustrated if we fail to bring in any reinforcements.

Source please?

There has been several stories/rumours about this. Just search Sirkiri Dembele Fulham and they all pop up. None from particularly reliable sources from what I have seen. Cant find it now but read somewhere earlier Celtic are interested (his brother is there) but us, Forest and another prem team were readying bids.

Think that surfaced last close season if not before.

Fulham 'readying bid for Dembele'
Fulham are among a number of clubs preparing an offer for in-demand Peterborough forward Siriki Dembele, according to reports this afternoon.

Football Insider claims that the Whites, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest are all keen on signing the 24-year-old, who submitted a transfer request earlier this month. Dembele, who can operate as a conventional striker or on either wing, has scored six goals in twenty appearances for the League One side this season and has been a longstanding Fulham target.

Celtic are also keen on reuniting Dembele

But the Londoners won't be submitting a bid in the January transfer window, according to Posh director of football Barry Fry.

Fulham chief scout Brian Talbot was at Portman Road to watch Dembele in action against Ipswich on Saturday. He messaged Fry after the game which Posh won 1-0.

Fry said: "Fulham have watched Siriki five times. Brian was at the game on Saturday and he sent me a message after the game to say they wouldn't be making an offer during the current transfer window.

If ya not bidding why say anything? Could just be Barry being Barry of course.

Anybody with a surname of Dembele or Kamara are usually great players! There are a few exceptions though!

Any idea how much the compensation would be? Could help us with our FFP - on that note, and I know it's a dead horse..... what about our Liverpool compensation - if it is around 8-10M than this actually has a massive impact on our current transfer window and FFP.

Does compensation still occur since he has been out of contract for so long? Over 6 months, correct?

Yep it's a development fee as he's an academy product, it'll be peanuts as MK Dons aren't really minted, but it'll be something.

According to the Club website the compensation package has already been agreed.
As has been said the initial sum involved would be peanuts; his current vaue is pretty low. But there might well be a percentage of any future transfer fee.

This might well, of course, amount to more peanuts, but I have just been reading about Frenkie de Jong's initial move from Willem II to Ajax for a derisory €1, which naturally upset the fans. However when Ajax sold him to Barca, Willem II copped for €8million, which made them feel a bit better.

If we are, I don't expect he'll be rushing to put pen to paper for us while the prospect of a move to Southampton exists.

Can he score goals? We could play a winger up front if he's a good finisher. Lookman looks good there.

or perhaps Adnan Januzaj?
