He's covering a lot of ground hence the new thread. Main points - * Berbatov is currently having a medical (joke about Fulham's 'famous medical') * In talks with Richardson; fee agreed * No firm bid for Dempsey; there are clubs interested including Sunderland * Tried to talk Dembele out of going but had bid based on contract clause; no choice * Still need a driving/attacking midfielder
Fantastic news, was also following the press conference. Looked like Wet Spam might have pipped us to Berbatov after SkyBet suspended the betting on him going there but it looks like this one is just a matter of time!
Didn't see the press conference but sounds like all good news, particularly the Dembele affair. That explains why it all happened so quickly. And Berbatov! How about that! I'm all excited again when this time yesterday I was inconsolable!
Here is the Club's report on the interview - http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2012/august/30/jol-closing-in-on-duo
And here is (a much happier) Jol in a one to one interview providing more information around the stories - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBeigCzhYg&feature=g-all-u His disappointment over Dembele still shows though. Could be wrong but seemed to be suggesting that he didn't know about the clause.
All's well with the world again. Karma has been restored, I just want a little gem of a midfielder to come in now.
