KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Fulham report Rodgers to Premier League over Dempsey

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footbal...e.html?ITO=1490

Has anybody else seen this?
This is what Rodgers said...

'Clint is a player we've inquired about, it is as simple as that.
Ian Ayre, our managing director, has spoken with the club to see what the position is.
That is where we're at.
He's a very talented player but we don't like to talk about other clubs players'

Pathetic in my opinion

Think putting that story on NESN didn't help things.

rogers not reported the club have very different thing .and it means nothing .

its on ssn as well

Fulham appear to believe Rodgers' actions have led to a situation whereby the USA international has refused to play for the west London club as he hopes to engineer a move to Anfield.

But manager Martin Jol claimed last week that no formal offer had been received - leaving club and player in limbo.

"[Dempsey] told me 'you know what I want to happen' and at that time it was to go to Liverpool," said Jol.

"I told our people that we had to listen to other clubs, but there was no other club. There have been no firm offers for Clint.

"Clint feels he needs a move and that move was probably Liverpool, but Liverpool bought new players and no Clint, so we have ended up with a situation with Clint here at Fulham, but he is not committed to the club."

The Premier League is still investigating the complaint.

the player has his own mind if he is refusing to play for fulham thats not liverpools fault in my opinion

Why do we want him at the club anyway?

Okay, last season he averaged 1 in 2 (goals per game),
But before that he scored 37 in 179 games for Fulham.

The only reason I see in bringing him in is to help increase marketing in the US.

He's a quality player!

I think it would be a mistake to let Dempsey pass us by when he clearly wants to play for us. And not in a Robbie Keane "I've always been a Spurs/Liverpool/Spurs/Celtic/Villa/Galaxy fan" way but a genuinely hungry-to-make-the-step-up kind of way. He knows his career is winding down and he's highly motivated to play at the highest level possible. Aside from his goals, which would be nice, I think he would be a positive influence on our team. A lot of our players just look like they can't be bothered any more, and Dempsey is really the antithesis of that. Sadly, I think now that Fulham have reported us, we won't pursue him anymore, just so we can wipe our hands and say "See? We never wanted him anyways!". Stupid. If we let the FA dictate our transfer policy, then we're just digging our own grave.

Its really stupid because Rodgers clearly said its an enquiry simple as that. Fulham can fk off.

Funny how when Barcelona done the same thing to us with Mascherano everyone was crying about it.Now fulham can f*ck off?Jol is protecting his club like i would expect him to.
Disappointed in the manner LFC has gone about things this summer.

It all sounds like an excuse to get us to increase our offer so they will drop the complaint.
