Moussa Dembélé

[y1dk1d]

I asked the other day, can only get a pre contract with him a month or so before the end of his due to his age.

Ah I see, I still think this might happen tonight though

 

[bubble07]

I still think this has a decent chance of happening. Surely we'll come to some agreement whether it means us giving them more money to take him now or just settling for a loan back.

If we can't sign him now could we not just sign him on a pre-contract? I'm not too clear on the rules

Legally we can't. Only a foreign club can

Told any hopes of #Spurs restoring deal for Dembele "probably" dead, and that they are "probably" finished this window. Never say never tho

 

[Stoof]

I probably can't take the tension. Maybe.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

He isn't ITK though is he?

I don't bloody know. I just stated that I didn't believe his tweet was info, just opinion.

Sweet, great paper

Loan them a regular first team player, not likely.

Demebele-Dier-Eriksen-Chadli-Lamela-Alli-Carroll....
With Bentelab back, Mason to follow, we are fairly well-stocked for midfielders. Can't see why Fulham would take one in place of a striker, though.

they have just got a striker from sporting lisbon on loan so that covers that point

Can you be finished if you never started?

 

[Ossie85]

There's something I can't quite understand.
If we are willing to finish the window without signing a striker, why don't we still sign Dembele and loan him to Fulham like they want?
It makes no sense

 

[philll]

Yeah I said the same elsewhere. If we want him so bad (and Poch obviously does), surely it's best (in the longrun) to just buy him now and loan him back.

Exactly we're just f**king ourselfs in the arse here. Fair enough we might think this team is good enough and not need to do business so why don't we just buy Moussa who potentially could be a very good player and loan him like we did with Alli.

Very good point.

Why pay 5M now when he can be had for less in the summer?

I'd imagine we're confident we can get him for free in the summer, instead of paying now then loaning him back.

 

[philll]

But there will likely be more competition for him in Summer. If we pay the 5 now he's ours. If we don't then his head may be turned elsewhere.

Exactly what I said in the ITK thread, it's really baffling.
