Hopefully some of those comments are just bitterness.
Yeah haha, they're really not that fussed he is going... Although the contract situation with it running down, has made his depature an inevitability, they'll have had time to come to terms with it and be bitter by now.

Atleast that's what I'm hoping because the above comments combined with one of the least inspiring youtube highlight reels doesn't make for good omens

Pretty sure I watched the same one as you earlier. Just looked like a patchy Championship player.

So here's the funny thing. If we are, as shit as other teams fans say we are, why is it that Real Madrid buy our players. Continuously. I've never seen other top four clubs do that and frankly what have they achieved in Europe in the last ten years. Now we're not a selling club all those trolls find your rocks because your going to need to hide under them...

Btw - before you slam me, i get RM have lost a bit of their shine, but...

A 19 year old Harry Kane wouldn't have had a particularly thrilling highlight reel from his time in the Championship either.

Sort of true. Kane scored a couple of cracking long-range goals when he was at Millwall, but I get your point. I wasn't dismissing the player...just commenting on the quality of the YouTube highlights vid.

I'll trust the manager and scouts on this one. One thing that did come across in the vid that I watched was that he seems to be quite unselfish, with an eye for a useful pass in the last third.

Dembele being lazy seems to be pretty much undisputed concensus with Fulham fans.

Being languid at this club doesn't cut it, obviously. The understanding is that Milos couldn't get into our senior team on that basis. I very doubt Poch would want such a player.

Isn't there an unwritten law somewhere, or ground rule, or regulation from English Heritage that does not allow the same Football Club, sell a player with the same name to the same Football Club, if both Clubs are located in the same City, in England, and especially If both clubs have white shirts, as well as both players originally came from country's that border each other.
Or have I been misinformed.

I'll take The 5 million, but couldn't careless about the loan back. You think he's lazy now!

Re: Medical taking place at Spurs today

£5m for Dembele and then loaned back for half a season, sounds too good to be true, Spurs must be feeling guilty about the good players they have taken from us in the past.

Meanwhile we must keep our eyes open for Dembele 3 to provide future income.

Good riddance, always thought he was an arrogant big time Charlie who had no idea of anything but personal glory.

Re: Medical taking place at Spurs today
« Reply #24 on: Today at 06:02:38 PM »

£5m for Dembele is a snip. If he develops well they will sell him on for £30m. And I'd give to evens that he does, so £15m is the par price. With his contract expiring we would never get that so £5m and a loan back is a result

Re: Medical taking place at Spurs today

I met Dembele about a year ago and shook his hand (or rather held it)(talk about wet fish)

Being a rugby player I was surprised what a wet fish of a handshake he had. Seemed a very shy lad and quite non-physical. I could not imagine him grabbing hold of John Terrys gonads in the penalty area

Re: Medical taking place at Spurs today
« Reply #28 on: Today at 06:17:35 PM »

He will be eager to prove his worth to Spurs if he comes back on loan to us, I say if as Spurs apparently were not keen on that idea earlier in the window as they have a massive injury catalogue with their strikers. :eek:

Re: Medical taking place at Spurs today

The thing that annoys me most about this is that they will take our "Two Moussa" Song and think they created it.

Its annoying that Spurs tend to get our players for a snip. I can understand this one though. Fee or no fee essentially.

Re: Selling Dembele for 5 Million
« Reply #7 on: January 28, 2016, 18:03:17 GMT »

sure let him go and we'll watch him wither away at Spurs like so many others

It's a different Spurs. Pochettino deserves a huge amount of credit for giving young players game time. For him it's a fantastic move to work under him.

Re: Selling Dembele for 5 Million
« Reply #15 on: Today at 17:16:22 »

No doubt there will be a contract clause saying Spurs can take him back if required. At least with 5 million banked Joka could pick up a useful addition(s)

I have never been a big fan of Dembele. I don't think he is as good as he thinks he is but he is only young and can develop with better players around him.

I'm not too upset with the move. Ross would be a different kettle of fish.

------------------------------------

Would a 19 year old striker (who's had 36 league appearances according to Wikipedia) really make a noticeable difference to Spurs attack? Give him some more playing time in the Championship, I say.

Besides, Pochettino almost always plays 1 up top, and Dembele is nowhere near being as good as Kane and to a lesser extent Son.

A 20 year old Martial type of quality player he is not.
Not much love for him

I wouldn't read anything in to it. There was plenty of shitty comments about Bale when he left here.
As for Modric people didn't even use his name and eulogised over how Dempsey and Dembele were much better players ... love is a fickle thing

I don't see what's worrying about it. He's a 19 year old for the future. He's not costing much and our season doesn't depend on him. If he doesn't make it for whatever reason we move him on. No great loss. It's a punt.

What has Sandro got to do with whether Paulinho was worse than players such as Gilberto, Jo or Alves?
Because the west brom fans were saying Sandro was the worst Brazilian and Paulinho deserves to be with those illustrious 3 you mentioned

Don't really think you can count 2 players as continuously buying our players.

Pretty sure Arsenal have lost more players to the so called giants of Europe than we have.

Every time we sell a squad player to another english team, it's always the same:

"Awful signing. If he's not good enough for Spurs, then he's obviously not good enough for [insert team fighting relegation every single season]."

See, this is what I hate about statistics. No matter how compelling your argument is, there's always someone willing to dig really deep (like you have) and come up with an obscure, random figure that blows your agenda to shit.
