In that respect, yes. We'll have to wait and see for our final dealings in the next couple of days but(assuming Dembele signs for £15mill) we're about £10-15mill in profit over our summer spending with Modric being the only area we've downgraded a bit whilst strengthening ourselves in defence and adding proper backup for VDV. If we can strengthen ourselves with a quality winger and perhaps in goalkeeper too we'd have improved our squad over the window, in my opinion.
I think the final qualifying round is in September but yeah, he might be in it. That's at the end of January though so no rush if we don't get one in this window. Who knows, by then Defoe might look like a great second choice It's all early days and any signings we make will still need to be able to settle into the league and actually be any good but for me, AVB should be getting us around the 70 points total again this season.
I still don't think they have a squad as good as the big 4 but they are assembling a very tidy squad that long term will challenge
He develops common sense and decides to stay at Fulham, rather than suffer through an embarrasing time with AvB.
Adebayor has retired from international football. He did when the togo bus got shut up a few years back.
'Adebeyor subsequently returned to international duty in November 2011 following assurances from the Togo Football Federation regarding safety,[65] making his comeback in a 1–0 win over Guinea-Bissau in a 2014 World Cup qualifier.'
You do realise the Moussa Dembele we are selling to you for £15m is the 16 year old we bought from PSG not our Belgium midfielder Mousa Dembele http://www.fulhamfc.com/the-teams/u18s/player-profiles/moussa-dembele
He might want to get his skin looked at. My uncle went a similar shade of grey before he kicked the bucket, and he was in his 50's. Can't be healthy at 16.
Dembele could turn out to be your buy of the season and be much more influential than Modric ever was.
Probably a bit like Holland. Great individual players, but trying to get them playing as a team......!
