The rankings are based on European performance not domestic. 08/09 Went out of UEFA Cup in the first round. 10/11 Went out of Europa League in the group stages 11/12 Went out of Big Cup in group stages.
Deadline Day. Lots of rumors will fly and hopefully Dempsey end's up anyplace but Fulham. Few done deals. Scott Sinclair from Swansea to Man City Nigel De Jong from Man City to AC Milan Kiren Richardson from Sunderland to Fulham Danny Rose from Tottenham to Sunderland (Season Loan) Bryan Oviedo from Copenhagen to Everton (pending WP)
I agree, I saw something about dos santos departing for mallorca too. Spurs are not a selling club in that sense, the must be bringing in more.
Their pickup of Dembélé was a great pick up and I think helped this Van der Vaart transfer. Before the Van der Vaart transfer they are still +17 mil I think. They have money for options.
Apparently "PSG....as they are currently the highest spenders at €140m, and counting. We estimate the top five gross spenders are: PSG - €140m, Chelsea - €99m, Bayern Munich - €70m, Manchester United - €65m Juventus - €50m."
Meanwhile, PSG haven't won a game yet in Ligue 1 and Man United supporters are wearing green and yellow because they are so persecuted.
Yes, and that's silly. If Real and City are the teams which advance this year, Dortmund will be considered one of the weaklings of Europe when that's not true.
from BBC "Edgar Davids and Bournemouth! Not quite. The Cherries have actually completed the signing of midfielder Lorenzo Davids, cousin of Champions League winner Edgar. The 25-year-old, a free agent after his release by German side Augsburg, has agreed a two-year deal." We are big time now. Signed injured, three weeks out...could not make it up.
Few done deals.Few more to add to the list Scott Sinclair from Swansea to Man City Nigel De Jong from Man City to AC Milan Kiren Richardson from Sunderland to Fulham Danny Rose from Tottenham to Sunderland (Season Loan) Bryan Oviedo from Copenhagen to Everton (WP granted) Van Der Vaar from Tottenham to Hamburg Berbatov from Man U to Fulham Charlie Adams from Liverpool to Stoke Lloris from Lyon to Tottenham (pending medical) Maicon from Inter to Man City Giovanni Dos Santos from Tottenham to Real Mallorca Maurice Edu from Rangers to Stoke Roque Santa Cruz from Man City to Malaga
Dempsey to Spurs for £6M Liverpool are idiots. This quote came, of course, before the news of Tottenham. Tis the elevated price of an English player.
I am interested to see what comes about from this twist of the calendar: Tottenham fixtures: 11/28 vs Liverpool 12/1 at Fulham followed later in the season by 3/9 at Liverpool 3/16 vs Fulham Back-to-Back on the "other two teams" involved in this whole ordeal twice on schedule.
Hammers are in Champions League!!!........Hammers are in Champions League!!!......bring on Barcelona. Oh wait, the season doesn't end today? Ah shit. What a drubbing of Fulham today and have taken 6 out of 9 points for the start of the season.
So with Dempsey gone, Fulham will not have an American on the roster since 2003 if I'm correct. McBride didn't arrive till '04 and Lewis left after '02. What a run for Americans at a club.
Well, it kind of would be true. Because (just to repeat) : 08/09 Went out of UEFA Cup in the first round. 10/11 Went out of Europa League in the group stages 11/12 Went out of Big Cup in group stages. They simply don't have a recent history of being strong in Europe. Anything can happen in the group stages though. See: 2011 Man U.
