Care to elaborate?

ETA: Ah, you mean Fulham supporters. Totally misread that at first.

Yes, that's how I meant it, our supporters.
I am the admin. of a very large, but unofficial, FFC group on FB. So, I read a lot, which is why I say there's little love for Spurs amongst our lot.

There's still a great deal of resentment over Dembele and Dempsey, even if we got fair market value for Dembele, it was because Levy's offer triggered his release clause. Fulham were already in the mess by that time with al-Fayed looking to sell, and Martin Jol making poor choices in his buying.

I haven't read this entire thread, and it's you're likely right that noone HERE talked about Sess., however, in the press, it's been a constant drumbeat since January. This leads to the impending doom mentality as we've seen it over and over again with the idea that Fulham are a "farm team." I mean look who we had and lost to bigger clubs in the last ten years or so:
Steed Malbranque, Brad Smalling, Edwin VanDerSar, Louis Saha, Dempsey, Dembele, Dembele, just off the top of my head, this morning. To be fair, some of the players we've lost over the years, had tremendous success at Craven Cottage, then took the money, ran, and didn't measure up.
