Moussa DEMBÉLÉ (DEMBÉLINHO)?

[Tottenham Sean]

From this day hence he shall be known as Double S.And the one we already have ,One S.

 

[spursmalc]

Would have preferred someone now but better to sign someone for next season now than be sweating on it at end of August.

 

[SaskatoonSpur]

Happy with the signing if it goes through. Gives us options in the summer and give Dembele the opportunity to play, which he frankly wouldn't do for us much. As for differentiating between the two, I'm going with Jr. and Sr.

 

[Tomo]

His style of play/running style (obviously only based on a bunch of YouTube clips I have trawled through) sort of reminds me of Ighalo, quick feet, strong, direct.

A thought just hit me. If Levy is smart, he makes the deal with a loan back, but an option to "recall" as it were. A hefty, extra, price if we do it soon. Less hefty the later in the season it is. And next to nothing extra, if we do so when (if) Fulham have secured not going down. Would suit all parties, giving us a bit of insurance if Kane breaks down.

That would be the most sensible option but I'm not sure if you can actually do that within the loan rules..

 

[Arjun]

Ffs, was hoping he would be joining this month

 

[Oh FFS]

Surely we can just call them 'big Mou' and 'li'l' Mou'?

 

[kingdawson]

So it seems like we didn't really want to loan him back.

 

[Jenny Talia]

It's not off, I'm guessing it's just Levy time.

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Well this is awkward..
We're potentially signing a black man in a club with a jewish tradition.

And you wanna nickname him...........

SS !?

:lamelashock:aulinhowtf:

It was just a suggestion.....

It was just a suggestion.....

Mine was just a joke mate :ade:

Had this discussion elsewhere.

Basically, if Fulham want Dembele back on a standard 6-month loan, a recall is a no go as it is not allowed under League rules.

However, even though Dembele is a contract player, because he is under 20 he could be loaned to Fulham as a youth player. If that was the case, a recall clause can be negotiated.

However, even if he is on a youth loan, and even if Fulham agree to the insertion of a recall clause, under League rules it cannot be triggered with the first 28 days of the loan. That's not the end of the world, obviously, but if Kane were to get injured in that period Dembele would still be out-of-bounds for us no matter what.

Basically, given Fulham's determination to get him back on loan, I suspect a recall is highly unlikely

Interesting. There's nearly nothing about loans in the PL handbook (mostly, iirc, that a club can't loan more than two players to another club). There was more in the League handbook, but nothing as detailed as what you've said.

 

[Arthur Wensleydale]

Not a club necessarily, but try this for size:

Bungay v Bungay

Is this what we're aiming for then?

Also, Plymouth Argyle have had 2 players both called Lee Hodges, not at the same time sadly, but only a few seasons apart. The 2nd Lee Hodges began his career at Spurs by the way....#knowledge

I don't like Bungays.

 

[suburbanexile]

I know football adheres to the law of the jungle, but as someone with a soft spot for Fulham, I'd rather they kept their star striker this season and avoid relegation.
Trying to manipulate the deal at the last minute is typical Levy and not worthy of our club.
