Quotes from Jol. Very odd situation.

Damn Dempsey. I wonder what went down that is causing him to act this way.



Well Dempsey has taken to twitter with ominous tweets like, "there are two sides to every story" and "the truth will be out soon".

What do you mean you don't know what to think?

Liverpool enquired about Dempsey before the preseason. Jol valued him at 10m thinking he could get LFC to pay that right before the American tour. Rodgers declined and there has been no inquiries since.

Now Jol is obviously panicking (read his quotes) since he knows LFC called his bluff. He's saying Clint is holding out as a negotiation tactic and to try and make the club look like a knight in shining armor.

Now Rodgers will ask Fulham what they really want for Dempsey. Well played from LFC.

Very true. Some reports actually suggest that we are no longer interested and that Fulham have had no other inquiries from English clubs.

But at this point, if we wanted him, we would get him.

No one else has even shown the slightest bit of interest this summer in Dempsey. Seems odd. Not even a foreign team.

Because he's overvalued.

People were so pissed at him for thinking about going to LFC, but that is the only inquiry (not even an offer yet) he's gotten.

Big 'if' seems to me. Swung and miss (so it would seem) on Gylfi, Gaston, Tello, and Nuri (if latest rumors are true).

So this is interesting. Says no bids were made, but says bid rejected in headline. This is obviously ridiculous, so who is leaking to the media? Man U to peak interest in the Mexican, or Chelsea to send a message to Napoli or Porto about Cavani or Hulk?

If we don't get Dempsey it's because we don't want him.

We were beaten by Tottenham and Arsenal for Sigurdsson and Sahin.

Tello didn't want to leave Barcelona.

We refused to meet Bologna's valuation of Ramirez.

Clint will be sold to someone at this point. Jol's quotes:

quote:

"I would like to keep him, but I think it's impossible. It's a sad and an almost embarrassing situation."


quote:

"There was never an offer. Clint himself told everyone he was going to Liverpool before he came back so we really thought there was quite a firm interest in him.




We have no competition for Dempsey. The player and club want him to be sold. The ball is in our court. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
