Just to add to the confusion, Fulham denies transfer reports: http://bleacherreport.com/tb/d8160?..._medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=united-states
Is this news? Tweeted just a while ago. It's cryptic, but from the horse's mouth. @clint_dempsey: Don't worry about tomorrow, because it has enough troubles of its own. Just touched down in London. Bless
Clint Dempsey @clint_dempsey Don't let failure of success deter you from the challenge. The goals you work the hardest towards hold the most value in the end.✌ Kind of cryptic, but along with yesterdays tweet I assume it has some kind of meaning
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/dempsey-pulls-fulham-tour-force-162500060--sow.html According to the above report, Dempsey has refused to go on the first team's week-long training trip to Switzerland in order to force a move. Giving the report more credence, Fulham's official site also posted pictures of the team traveling to Switzerland and Dempsey was not in any of the photos.
Eddie Johnson (a known close friend of Clint) just tweeted... Eddie Johnson @eddie_johnson7 Dempsey will be a great contribution to Liverpool. #topplayer
I'm more taken that EJ said "mate." I guess his time in England had a profound influence on his vocabulary.
And maybe not. Fulham spokesman on Dempsey not going to Switzerland. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...clint-dempsey-left-out-of-fulham-trip?cc=5901 Andy Carroll doesn't intend to join West Ham. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...o-land-liverpool-striker-andy-carroll?cc=5901
