Ameritoon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's a non starter... Fulham have lost Pavel, AJ, and Zamora all since January so can't see them letting one of their last forwards go... Dempsey's said multiple times he's ready to leave. It'll be a huge shock if he doesn't leave this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frazernufc Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Really hope we get this lad. Hopefully 'the final bid' was just a bluff which they've called, but all things considering wouldnt bid more than 12million for him at this moment in time. Just dont know what other targets we could get with the potential of De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Don't know who this guy is really, just found him yesterday. Claims to know what's going on. If these quotes are real I reckon the deal is far from dead. Richard @Richard_agent82 Louis Laros, De Jongs agent: "talks went well today.

Shak Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd actually prefer if we bought a player who can play either side of the front three in a 4-3-3. That seems to be the system that most of our players are best suited to, so I'm hoping we'll try and add new players with that in mind. De Jong seems to be more of a central player from what people are saying about him, I'm not sure if he'd fit in as part of our 4-3-3, though I assume Pardew and Carr know what they're doing. De Jong will have played in a front 3 for most of his footballing education and all of his time in the first team at Twente. Last season was the first time he has been the main central striker, having played in the wide areas previously. Having somebody who can play flexibly and naturally in a front 3 while also being a main centre forward would be far better option for us than finding somebody who can just play wide, IMO, particularly when we're thin on the ground in terms of genuine strikers in January. Encouraging stuff, didn't know he could play in the wider roles too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anyone else think they should make the transfer window one day long and all negotiations have to be in that day. Would be amazing, less frustrating waiting and everyone would be so hurried everyone would end up with silly players ok terrible idea I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 howay, own up. Who edited de Jong's Wiki...

MyPalAl Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't know why everyone is panicking? 'We only have 3 cf's now....... we are going to be light...... Ba and Cisse at the ACN's.......panic, panic, panic.....' Chill out fellas. I have it on fantastic (made up) authority and we are going to use the Spanish template and not bother with forwards anyway. Yo, Hatem and the new 'Pardew'd' Obertan are the new Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc. No worries. Relax a little Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If we put Obertan up front we could just put really really hard crosses on his napper and watch them bounce off at 100mph, a few of them are bound to fly in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 My gut feeling is that this deal isn't dead yet. Though if I'm being honest, I would rather we concentrate more on getting a potential deal for Douglas over the line... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy thought we are perfectly fine in that postion with S taylor coming now we sold Best and Loven is not with us it is important we sign two strikers one like De Jong one a junior one. Other wise we best hope for mid table finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Luuk de Jong has played in the wide areas before, but he IS a central striker and the reason he is worth around £10M - £15M is his display as the main striker and his 25 goals in the league this season, and his potential. I doubt he wants to sign for a club to play on a flank. He's a central striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather want someone faster with abit of trickery. Infact Kalou seems a good option to me, if you look apart from ACN. In a 4-3-3 we allready got 2 quite good CF's and we got backup in shola aswell. Rather go for more widemen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
