Good grief, Dempsey to Villa!

I think it's a bluff.

Maybe, probably.

Re-reading the story, it seems a fee has been agreed, but he has not signed.

That's my read Tony, that they're establishing a price.

Ahh, I'm so naive! You mean they agree a price with Villa for £7 mill, then they have laid down a marker, & will end up selling him for 8 or 9 mill to someone else?

'of course I'm not going back to Portsmouth Jim' (well not until the price is shunted out a good few points and my ' racing' friends can bet it for me anyway)

Not necessarily more money but by agreeing a price with Villa they are establishing a market price at which they are willing to do business.

Having agreed a price with Fulham Villa can now approach the player but if other clubs come in and match that price then they too can try to agree terms with the player.

Hearing that Dimitar Berbatov's move to Fulham has broken down as the offer arrived at a fax machine 3 feet away & not directly at his feet.

Along with Klinsmann, the best player I have seen at WHL, but if the shorts had pockets, he would have used them.

a superb player

i was lucky enough to see him at whl during his best season and he was frankly unplayable most of the time. The fallacy he doesnt "run around" enough is a classic British football mentality

I am not always a massive fan of stats in football but they show when at spurs he did just as much running as most forwards in the league

Prob a little far but yes he did more than people say. The season he was on fire, Robinson would kick the ball from the edge of the box, it would go to Berba and he would bring it down on his foot as though the ball were a beanbag. Didn't matter how many people were round him, he held it until another white shirt was free.

The Reading game springs to mind. He was completely unplayable that day.

Surely this is a horrible window for Spurs??

We're shifting deadwood, brought in Adebayor and Sigurdssen, with a decent looking centre half.

If we sign Moutinho and Lloris, I'd say we've done well. If we get a Levy bonus buy as well, it'll be our window.

VDV has family issues that led him to come to London and now family issues to lead him home. He was playing too deep for us and slowing up play, plus he could only last an hour. His time to move on but really enjoyed watching him.

'arry bassett

" to be honest i have never heard of this garcia bloke but he is spanish so hes bound to be decent"

makes me cringe to think how much he is paid for this spot every year to tell us he hasnt heard of anybody but he is sure they are a good player
