Whoever we buy need to be for sensible money and on sensible wages & be prepared to stay when we're relegated. We need to be prepared to listen to any big offers for our best players who will be gone anyway if we're in the championship and we need to be looking to try and offload the big wage earners Schurrle, Seri and Anguissa. The alternative to this is we're in the championship and royally screwed with FFP.

Quote from: Robertprocter1 on January 13, 2019, 09:13:13 AMI think it has become clear that we cannot afford their wages and are turning to the third world for affordable options that may prove worthwhile in one case out of five after about three seasons with us.
Odds have stayed the same on paddy power for Moses, Drinkwater and Cahil, make of that what you willl.
I'd be very happy with those three. Put a clause in their contract to say if we go down we'll sell them at the same price to keep them happy, that and guaranteed playing time and hopefully it's not unreasonable.
Quote from: filham on January 13, 2019, 01:33:58 PMIt might also be that all three are just considering their options. They're all decent Premier League players, officially free to leave their current club apparently so they're probably just taking the time to weigh up their best options and, as we know, some of those don't always appear until late on in January.Quote from: Robertprocter1 on January 13, 2019, 09:13:13 AMI think it has become clear that we cannot afford their wages and are turning to the third world for affordable options that may prove worthwhile in one case out of five after about three seasons with us.

Fulham set to sign Babel
Besiktas official Safak Mahmutyazicioglu has confirmed that Ryan Babel will join Fulham on loan.
We've loaned Babel out to Fulham for 6 months. We're going to earn €2m from this deal.
So looks like that is as good as done
Quote from: TXWhite on January 13, 2019, 03:42:15 PM
I know we need defensive reinforcements, but we haven't scored more than one goal in a game since Southampton at home. I'm choosing to look at this as a potential upgrade on Kamara, who is pretty inexpensive and not a long term financial risk (ie, we won't get stuck with a huge contract if we go down).
Hoping we get a CB, RB and CDM in too. And pronto. Just because we're signing Babel doesn't mean we aren't trying to bring defenders in - we don't always have full control over when, how, and in what order transfers take place.
Quote from: BedsFFC on January 13, 2019, 06:05:54 PM
Surely a chat with Dembele MKI is worthwhile.
I personally think he would provide such a lift, we'd be in with a fight. I'm sure he still has a soft spot for us and unlike the Dempsey situation, he is still very nearly at the top of his game.
6 month loan.
Assuming his injury is not worse than is advertised

Fulham already has a problem scoring goals. Are you bringing in Vietto as the regular winger? Moving Schurrle to the left?
imo...even though Sess was ineffective against Burnley...he's a better winger than he is a LWB. Too much work on offense will leave him defensively exposed.
People will get on him just as they do Cyrus now, for being out of position...and for not scoring enough.

You see this is where I just don't agree with Ranieri or Slav. We can't afford to play wingers. Plus..if we have 5 at the back and wing backs, they become wingers when you get forward. I really don't understand how you can have only 2 in midfield. Seri gets abuse, when in truth he is trying to manage a midfield 2 v greater numbers because we play 3 forwards. I would keep the 5 at the back, 3 in midfield and 2 upfront, Mitro plus one of many.

In a perfect Fulham world...they'd have another forward with the attributes of both AK47 and Schurrle.
There has to be someone up top that can make runs off Mitro to stretch the defense (ala Jamie Vardy)
All (including Sess) of Fulham's options outside of AK47 are too slow, and he's too inconsistent and crazy.
Quote from: St. Andrews White on January 13, 2019, 07:36:38 PMhasn't he had a couple of major long term injuries? knee ligaments or breaks? not saying he hasn't recovered but two major injuries (if my memory is correct) are usually hard to overcome fully
Ole confirmed Giuseppe Rossi training with Utd to get fit, and says he's looking very fit and sharp currently.

I've said this before but with the perilous league position I genuinely do not expect any big money permanent signings - and tbh the Khan's have a legitimate reason to not go that route due to FFP impact on next season, so the above scenario is about as good as I can see it getting with us keeping our better/highly paid players until the summer and they're moved on then should we fail to beat the drop.

Works both ways on loan agreements, lets say he was doing great and Utd wanted him back? The terms are those that are agreed and if Utd dont want to end the loan then thats their right. We went into this contract with them like any other. Now it would be bad form of Utd to not take him back, but they are within their rights.

Surely the only way out for us is for us to find actively find him a new club to continue the loan. That would suit all parties. However, he's been unwanted from the minute Ranieri came in the door so i don't see how the recruitment team can't source another club like Celtic who are rumoured , to take him on loan.
However given his performances, and the fact it's mainly struggling teams looking fighters, that there will be little to no interest

Did they say sure, that's fine, then change their minds a few weeks later? Or was Tony just too busy in talks with Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Giant Haystacks at that time, and didn't even ask?

Guessing we are pursuing other options, wonder how much Man U not taking TFM has had to do with it
It would only affect one of the signings as only 1 would be a loan the other 2 would have to be brought

These two are 32 and in positions where speed is pretty critical, does not make sense. I understand maybe for CB and someone of Cahill's stature for a season remaining loan but really? Danny Friggin Simpson and Ryan Babel?Quote from: mkras99 on January 14, 2019, 10:44:00 PM

I don't understand Utd's position. If we don't want him it's a waste of everyone's time. He's literally better off playing for their reserves and being coached by their staff.

Had a lot of potential back when he left Ipswich but seems to have been pushed to the bottom of the pile a little with West Ham's recent business.

10.20 GMT: Fulham are interested in signing versatile West Ham midfielder Michail Antonio, sources have told ESPN FC.
Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri desperately looking to bolster his squad during the January transfer window in order to avoid the relegation.
However, West Ham are determined to keep Antonio at the London Stadium as Manuel Pellegrini consider the 28-year-old a key member of his squad, having started him in 11 Premier League games this season.

Bordeaux make bid for Loris Benito (Young Boys)
14 January 2019
...Le 10 Sport report this afternoon that Bordeaux have submitted an opening offer for 27-year-old Swiss international left-back Loris Benito. The size of the bid has yet to filter through, but the move made by Les Girondins furthers the notion that Youssouf Sabaly, who is talks with Fulham, is nearing the exit door. The fee is unlikely to be elevated as Benito is out of contract in June. ...

If we won Fulham would probably sign Cahill before Brighton, plus another player if we got points at Brighton and probably another two players if we beat Brighton. Fulham winning would not only allow our accountants to realease funds to buy more, but also scare the Accountants at other clubs (e.g. Cardiff) making investments to stay up. FFP Rules suck!

I hope the club don't get impatient and pay over the odds to get this tied up. We must stand firm, even if that means taking it to the 31st. Every penny counts. In the meantime our existing defence is more than capable of keeping a clean sheet against Spurs and we don't really need the points anyway.

Fulham's highly-rated 18-year old midfielder Matt O'Riley could soon become the latest young England talent to head for the Bundesliga.
Scouts from Stuttgart, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund have all monitored his progress as recently as last week, when he starred in Fulham's U23 3-1 victory over Man United.
Domestically, Celtic, Rangers, Leeds and Norwich are also understood to be considering a bid for the creative midfielder who has been at Fulham since the age of eight.

MCDONALD TO BE LOANED OUT
Fulham are willing to let midfielder Kevin McDonald leave the club on loan this month, Sky Sports News understands.
The 30-year-old has made only 11 appearances so far this season and last featured for Fulham in the 1-1 draw with Wolves on Boxing Day.
Sky Sports News understands a number of Sky Bet Championship sides are interested in signing McDonald.
The Scotland international signed a new two-year deal with Fulham last summer, which also included an option to extend by a further 12 months.
But following the arrival of manager Claudio Ranieri in November, McDonald has played just eight minutes of football under the Italian.
McDonald joined Fulham from Wolves in 2016 and was an integral player under former manager Slavisa Jokanovic as the club won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs last season.

And isnt this the crux of it all. You like Mepham and others dont. if we were managers you would sign him, I would not. If the stats said yes I was the scout it would be a no. With you it would be a yes.
And then we can other players you dont like who i like. In the end owners, managers and DOF's cant please everyone. Every signing in someway is a gamble.

Where does this statement come from that we constantly buy players on the way down? You mean like Chambers, Mawson, Seri, Anguissa, Bryan, TFM and MLM? They may not be good enough (although that can be argued in several cases) and they may not all be players we needed, but to say that they are all players on the way down is just untrue.

No doubt he can't win with some.
Nowhere am I abusing him, but I am damn sure joka would have liked to have been offered some experienced players. The point I was making was it is a complete change of policy, not that it's wrong, just a lack of thinking on recruitment.
Or a sign OF thinking as they realised the policy wasn't working and changed it. Isn't that the sign of a good leader?

Colin may well be a w*nker but his transfer dealings at a fraction of the cost have put us and TK to shame. They have a fighting chance of survival and if they do go down then Cardiff are well set up to challenge to come straight back.

Really, well no offence but I would take the opinion of Eddie Howe and his recruitment team over you and the Fulham recruitment team every time,
Bournemouth have had success after success after success in the transfer window whilst Fulham have had failure after failure after failure in the transfer market,
Bournemouth constantly buy hungry young players on the way up whereas Fulham constantly buy players on the way down,
Bournemouth are one of the best run teams in The Premier League whereby Fulham are one of the worst,
Incidentally how much of Chris Mepham have you seen recently to form your view ?
Where does this statement come from that we constantly buy players on the way down? You mean like Chambers, Mawson, Seri, Anguissa, Bryan, TFM and MLM? They may not be good enough (although that can be argued in several cases) and they may not all be players we needed, but to say that they are all players on the way down is just untrue. If you should criticize, maybe keep the criticism to reality, because given our current situation there sure are things to criticize.
How many of those players could be classed as "on their way up" in the same way that the Bournemouth signings like Ale, Brooks, Solanke, Wilson, Mepham etc etc have been ?
I'd argue Seri, Anguissa, Mawson and Bryan without hindsight, would of been considered on the up.

Bournemouth splashing out again £12 mill on Chris Mepham from Brentford.
Is that the same Chris Mepham from Brentford that apparently isn't good enough for us according to some on here ?
Maybe we should avoid Ollie Watkins and Rico Henry as well just to be safe, and stick to either the Turkish league or the French second division . 😦😬
Bournemouth have clearly got professional football people working for them, who know what they are doing, and recognise their needs, and of course a very good manager.
Which is something Fulham lack in abundance.

I wonder who is in for Marcos Rojo. To me he's got exactly what we need. Athletic, strong, and big...not to mention plenty of experience. May be more expensive than Cahill + Drinkwater combined, but I'd grab him.

Chelsea trio of Drinkwater, Cahill and Moses now all drifting in the betting when it comes to joining Fulham.
No doubt about it, FFC have made a pigs ear of this entire transfer opportunity. The writing was on the wall 2 months ago and here we are nearly 3 weeks into Jan with no defence reinforcements. Sorry but there are no excuses. Our league position is the most perilous it has been and the job of recruitment has got even harder.
I do believe the Khans have FFC best interests at heart and if the ground redevelopment goes ahead then truly magnificent (and should secure our future by the river) but OMG they have made some terrible mistakes since May 26th. At some point (probably best at the end of the season) I hope they have the humility to come out and admit their mistakes. I for one would find that much more palatable.
Quote from: AnotherVicHalomLoveChild on January 17, 2019, 11:05:04 AM
Agreed FFC 1987, however
that's where the "skills" of the recruitment team come in selling the "opportunities" of joining us short term
At least until the end of the season to see whether those players can help us survive, re negotiate their contracts & a further rebuild occur - @ a Premiership level
Advantages to them?
They don't have to move house or away from London
They get playing time for careers that are otherwise being wasted (accepted that they do get well paid for sitting & doing nothing, but what self respecting player would really want that?)
Are they the type of character who responds to a challenge (if not then they aren't what we need anyway)
Do they know, like & respect CR?
They have a let out @ the end of the season to ano club & their Chelsea careers aren't going anywhere so why would they want to stay?
Up to our recruitment team to sell the positives - & in spite of all our current woes there are many!
So over to the recruiters, get on with it, still time to bring players on board for the Spuds game Sunday
COYW!!

Unless they absolutely have no other option they will not be honest about very much. That said I cannot believe we are not looking at a way to stay in the PL? Personally happy to go down, happier seeing us beat Reading than I am to see us lose against Burnley.

This juicy bit.QuoteRanieri said: "Gary is a very important player and for us it would be fantastic. I don't know if he wants to come and fight with us."
So...extrapolating on that...
Fulham want Cahill (otherwise Claudio would downplay him joining the team) yet...(like I thought) Cahill is taking his time weighing his options.
The front office is trying to do it's job, but contracts are two way streets.
Patience is needed. I know it's painful...but unless squads can MAKE players sign for their team there is nothing management can do.
Cahill may not sign with anyone until January 30th. He doesn't have to.

I ask because knowing how much we can spend...vs. another team...would pretty much confirm or deny he's coming.

When we signed Anguissa, someone did "win the battle" to sign someone with a "lack of statistical signficant data". In the future, we should not spend more than $20 million without two years of statistics showing he is EPL quality (one year is not enough). I am not surprised Tony Khan listens to his statitician, because the statistics would have been questioning buying Anguissa.
I beat Tony Khan will listen to whomever has given him the best advice in the past, and last transfer window the statistics guy would have been saying Anguissa is too risky.
?lang=enI’m thrilled to announce that @FulhamFC has signed André Frank Zambo Anguissa. André’s great data profile, top scouting reports, and his sterling reputation confirm his world class talent. He’s been one of our top targets. We’re excited that he’s joining the club! Come on Fulham! pic.twitter.com/jKkmazTIA8

I don't mind financial planning to do the best we can playing "Ream and Odoi" this season, but I don't like the idea of planning to get automatic promotion with "Ream and Odoi" (they will only get us mid-table or playoffs at best).
I think we should buy next years Championship team now and if combined with our expected departures (Rico, Chambers, Seri, Sess, Babel, Schullre and Mitro) we may have a decent team.

He is a really good player, and not that old. However, has not played much at all, which is worrying. It is understandable given the competition for those spots at Juve, but nonetheless a bit worrying. Should be better than our current crop anyway.

Regarding Ream and Odoi getting us to playoffs at best in the Championship, well last time around they missed automatic promotion on the last day of the season. Actually, if you go by the games that Ream and Odoi started together at CB, we were the best team in the Championship by some margin. Now, I don't believe that our amazing form was only (or even mostly) down to them, but it is also unfair (to say the least) to not acknowledge their contribution.

To be fair, can anyone blame Cahil not coming? He'll find a longer term contract at a more settled club. Whats the best scenario he gets from joining us. Keeping us up and maybe a 2 year deal or much more likely, he comes to us, we still go down and hes off looking for a longer contract elsewhere albeit with a relegation tag on his CV. I believe the club worked effortlessly on this one but our current position just doesn't cut it.

At the moment he has a repuation but thats all it is at the moment. He hasnt kicked a ball in anger since last week in November and when hes free in the summer he will have a pick of clubs looking for that ex England player. A promoted team, a lower PL team and if hes downt play they will be looking at him with that great reputation.
If he joins us and ends up showing that the years have caught up with him, hes rusty, slow. Then come the summer will they be banging on his door? Maybe better for him to sit down, count the money and wait till June and the offers.

Fulham have made an enquiry for Juventus defender Medhi Benatia, report Italian website Tuttomercatoweb.
Well connected boss Claudio Ranieri is behind the move, as he looks to strengthen the team's defence.
Fulham are adrift at the bottom of the table after slipping to a narrow 2-1 home loss to Tottenham.
Benatia has made only six appearances for Juventus this season.
The 31-year-old Moroccan has been at Juventus since joining from Bayern Munich in 2017.
Tuttomercatoweb's report does not discuss Juventus' stance regarding Fulham's enquiry for Benatia, but it does say the defender wants to be playing regularly.
He has not featured for the Italian champions since November 11.
Benatia would be a terrific signing for Fulham if they could pull it off and help their uphill task to avoid relegation.

Cardiff have bid £2 million for former Fulham player Josh Maja, Sunderland are asking for £4 million,
Anybody seen him play ?
16 goals in 41 games seems a decent return for a 20 year old,
2 to 4 million is nothing in this day and age, is he somebody we should be looking at ?
Mentioned him the other day, follow Plymouth and look to see league scores and this guy is always appearing. Don't know about his overall play but certainly finds the back of the net

Honest opinions when do people think we start looking at what players to buy, as we never get any early deals done. Do we even contact clubs who players we want to buy before the window opens or do we wait then make approaches

An update from the club would be nice. They must know the fans are scratching their heads wondering what, if anything, is happening.

I am fairly sure that we have people constantly looking. Why we get deals done late I don't know, but it seems to be the case for most clubs so I am sure there is a general reason for the market being like this.

I'd be amazed if TK and his team aren't trying very hard to find suitable players and bring them in - relegation being such a terrible event for everyone involved with the club, and very adversely affecting the Khans' investment
But I'm sure this isn't easy to do, especially the position we're in now. Why always signings made at the last minute - well, players aren't usually queuing up to come to Fulham, and avenues need to be explored, contracts negotiated - -most clubs seem to take it to the wire with new signings in the Window.

We can all agree our defence is woefull. There's probably a good what, 50/60 CBs in Europe at least who would be a big upgrade. Now, obviously the vast majority of those wouldn't come here so let's narrow that down to say 6/10 players. When this is so time sensitive, why don't we approach them all? By virtue of odds, one of them will accept.
Now I know we may have our 1 or 2 preferred targets but we've already potentially lost 6 points we could have won by being so slow getting defenders in. The amount of points we're losing out on could have been set off by getting someone who's not our exact target but still an upgrade.
I guess my point is, in the situation we are in, urgency was vital but 3 weeks have gone by and we still haven't got any defender in.
If I was tasked at work with a time constrained project, kept missing the deadline but said I'm trying really hard, I'd still lose my job. I personally have been very patient with all this but there comes a time when you need to accept that maybe the people conducting the process simply aren't experienced enough.

100% Agree, I said early in the window we should consider old men like Robert Huth and Jermaine Defoe. Everyone was saying this is not the kind of quality we need to stay up, which is true but I think the best we can do is get together a squad of 25 players that want there first chance or last chance in the Premier League to prove themselves that no one else believes in. Hopefully a few arrive that prove they aren't too young, others that prove they arent too old and others that the bigger clubs underesimated them.

I'm fairly convinced we will sign two unknowns on long contracts from French Ligue 1 and a loan signing each from Spain and Italy respectively. They will all be wide midfielders, and join on deadline day. One will be injured for a month and the others will be woefully not match fit till March.
We shall loan out Johansson, MacDonald and Kamara, the latter to Wormwood Scrubs FC.

Looks like the Benatia transfer could well be happening, don't know anything about him to be able to pass comment, but the fact that at age 31 he has only played 6 times all season is going to mean that it's going to take a few weeks to get up to speed,
And that seems to be a pattern that we are going to have to follow this window, as with Babel before, players not good enough to be first choice regulars at their current club, which means game time has been limited leading to ring rusty players joining us, which in the short term is going to be very problematic.

He is contracted to Juventus who arguably have one of the best defences in Europe, so it's no shame not getting into their starting 11, with likes of Bonucci and Chiellini In front of him.

Woodrow joined League One club Barnsley on 24 August 2018 on loan until January 2019, ahead of a proposed permanent transfer. He signed for Barnsley permanently on 3 January 2019 on a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the option of a further year in the club's favour, for an undisclosed fee.
He just signed for Barnsley this month.lol

Claudio Ranieri's Fulham is considering the engagement of the Atalanta defender Rafael Toloi. The London club, according to what we learned from our editorial team, would have initiated contacts with the entourage of the Brazilian player, class 1990.

Excellent, hope this happens. More Serie A/B experience the better. We need defenders who are comfortable playing the deep defensive lines that Claudio employs.

I think you are thinking of a stereotypical Italian side. They don't all play the same though. I believe that Atalanta is a very high pressing team, and not at all holding a deep defensive line. At least not nowadays, don't know how long he's been there or how they played before.

As rumours go......
With Mario Balotelli's arrival in Marseille, Mitroglou has been considered surplus to requirement. Following successful negotiations, the Fulham board are willing to give him another chance. He feels he has unanswered critics in England #FFC #OM. Tony

Leaving my Fulham related feelings out of it, it's somewhat funny how the journos dole these rumors out in linear fashion, as if that's the way the process works. Interest in Cahill. Cahill not coming. Interest in Benatia. Benatia goes to Qatar. Interest in Toloi. Just keeps the page clicks coming.
However, I truly doubt that this is the way we conduct business, no matter how poorly, during transfer windows. Far more likely that these conversations/negotiations occur concurrently.
Journo method does drive the angst though. I'll give them that.

Mitroglu wasn't fit when we signed him fro what I remember, wasn't his fault the club decided we should sign a half fit player a month at least away form fitness when we were in trouble. Shows how desperate we were then and how poorly we were being run. Also I do not remember McGath giving him a chance when he wanted to play when fit the following season, and he was then shipped out on loan.
Since leaving us he has i think scored regularly, if fit and firing he wouldn't be a bad option, 2 Mitro's up top would be quite funny lol
It is very unlikely though in my opinion to happen, especially as it seems it s wind up twitter man putting the news out there

THIS
Since he started playing for Olympiakos 11 years ago Mitroglu has scored 130 goals in 256 club appearances ion the Greek, Portuguese and French top divisions. He is a decent striker who knows where the net is and it was FFC's fault we signed him injured & the subsequent handling of the player thereafter.

Bookies now have Fenerbahce as favs to sign Drinkwater, following their recent success with Moses.
Cahill now evens to join us but considering he was 1/4, definitely on the slide.
If you think that Babel has replaced Kamara (def upgrade), we have added no numbers to the squad. With Kebano, Fosu Mensah and Johansen also looking like departing and a slim chance of McDonald and Ayite finding loan deals we need to pull our finger out !

Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton and Fulham are all interested in signing Italy centre-back Gianluca Mancini, according to Calciomercato.
The 22-year-old is one of a number of players who has made his name at Gian Piero Gasperini's overachieving Atalanta over the last few seasons and, like Bryan Cristante, Franck Kessie and Roberto Gagliardini, could now be rewarded with a big-money move away from the Bergamo.

And good riddance really. We wanted/needed a leader who was up for the challenge and one heck of a rollercoaster ride. Relegation would not have harmed his cv, having a go might have enhanced it a bit.

like with other players at the wrong end of their career he wanted a bit of assurance and stabiity. we have let him slip through our fingers. personally i thought his wage demand was too high if true, but i suspect 18 months was of more interest to him and our leaders didn't feel that was right. based on that assumprtion we probably did the wrong thing.
And good riddance really. We wanted/needed a leader who was up for the challenge and one heck of a rollercoaster ride. Relegation would not have harmed his cv, having a go might have enhanced it a bit.
No such leader wants a bar of us because we are too deep in the poo. Relegation is inevitable. We have zero leadership currently and that will not change during this transfer period.

The problem is- he has already been kicking the ball for Benfica for around 8 years, and I know what I'm saying. You can wait to see.
This player is worse than Christie. Some of his reactions in the Portuguese championship this year were comical (he might blend in with defense?). To be honest, I think this is Benfica president's desperate attempt to sell his player through the media.

My only motive is that I am utterly astounded. Everyone talking about defensive reinforcements and now, the player who is worse than Christie comes into the picture. I have not seen Babel play for ages so I cannot comment on him, but I have seen Almeida. And these are my impressions. I have seen him play so many times, that I do not need to see anything more of him to know that is not a player for the EPL. I would never describe a player as "rubbish" because I have a hunch, or because he now plays in the Turkish league.
Quote from: RaySmith on January 26, 2019, 04:49:51 PM
But what are your qualifications to make such comments?
OK, so the club has bought players in the recent past who weren't seen to be up to playing in the Prem, but presumably now club and manager realise the urgency in bringing in players who they feel can make an immediate difference, so why would they consider a player who is as useless as you say?
There doesn't seem concrete evidence that Fulham is signing or even interested in this player anyway.

I do not believe this supposed transfer. Andre Almeida is the worst defender of Benfica alongside Ruben Dias. Not even TK is that stupid. Painfully slow, terrible 1 on 1, non-existent crosses. This is obviously fake. For him, Christie is Philipp Lahm.
Oh great, thats a 100% certain we announce him next week then.
He's a full international, if he comes let's at least give him a chance.

I won't be writing him off before he's kicked a ball.
The problem is- he has already been kicking the ball for Benfica for around 8 years, and I know what I'm saying. You can wait to see.
This player is worse than Christie. Some of his reactions in the Portuguese championship this year were comical (he might blend in with defense?). To be honest, I think this is Benfica president's desperate attempt to sell his player through the media.
I wonder what your motives are in posting these comments.
IF the player comes to Fulham we need to give him a chance.
People on here said that Babel was now rubbish, but he made a big difference up front for us against Spurs, and he isn't even fully match fit.

We take Dann so they can sign Cahill. Not sure who wins in this?
Quote from: howitis on January 27, 2019, 12:25:37 PM
Dann was a very good player for Palace and chipped in with some important goals. A brave defender who at his best would be an asset. Sadly he did his cruciate about 18 months ago and has struggled since. At 31 its certainly not age that is against him, more about his fitness.
It would concern me that palace would see swapping 33 year old Cahill as an upgrade on 31 year old Dann when he has 2 years left on his contract.
It would be interesting to know whether we made Cahill aware of our interest back in Nov/Dec. We clearly has defence issues and our predicament was not as bad. If we did and he has still stalled for all this time then he is not for us. If however we left it until 2nd week in Jan to make the approach then the management only have themselves to blame.

It's not like any of the squad need a distraction or two at the moment but having just read Sunday Fulham Stuff a thought occurred to me. If the transfer gossip is clearly stating Fulham are looking for a right sided defender or a left sided midfielder the impact on the current incumbent could be devasting. We have often highlighted how the midfield fails to support the defence. Therefore if I am part of that defensive unit getting criticised for exhaling I am going to be looking at my midfield colleagues with a degree of hostility.

Fully agree the Cahill mater should have been sorted one way or the other right at the beginning of the window.
We new he wanted to be away from Chelsea and we new we needed him, what on earth stopped us getting a yes or no from him.
Quote from: ScalleysDad on January 27, 2019, 10:38:43 AMAgree
If we try a little pragmatism here I would suggest that unless there is a player who is ready to fill a need and is ready to go on Tuesday night we are wasting our time now. For any last minute signing Palace away will be a tough debut then it's Man United. If we look at the usual course of events in that a player won't be match fit and will need to settle we are probably looking at the six pointer away to Southampton for a first ninety minutes. The door may well have slammed shut by then bearing in mind the March fixtures. CR and his team have had the enforced break to set out a plan and rehearse it to death. The current rabble need to stand up, put all the pettiness to one side and start putting in 100% for the duration of the game. I have to say that should we get beaten on Tuesday night I would be locking Mitrovic in a cupboard until Friday. He may not be scoring goals for us at the moment but he is by far the only squad member who would be on somebody else's radar.

Why do you think that Cahill was in any hurry to sort out a deal ?
He has a contract until the end of the season and someone might have told him that the transfer window does not shut until the end of January

It should have been made clear to him that our need was immediate and if he really wanted to be sure of guaranteed premier league football for the rest of the season without moving house etc he needed to make his mind up quickly.

Let's hope it's true. Would be a massive upgrade I believe, and has at least played a little this season. If we can get him on a short term contract that would be exactly the type of signing that can increase our chances of survival.

He's strong and quick...but I'm not sure how his conditioning would be if they used him like they use Cyrus Christie. He's third on United's depth chart for a reason at RB, and if he's expected to cross (which he doesn't do well) and also track back and assist with closing down attackers...
Because if his experience and pace he's an upgrade over Christie. That doesn't mean he'd work out. It just means that he SHOULD work a little better.
CB is still a much bigger need than RB. Valencia would have allowed the same game winning cross that Christie allowed last week...so, imo it's not much of an upgrade other than the pace.

If true, then short term loan until end of season to give us a chance of staying up. Would slot in at RB straight away for 1-2 games on trial to assess if improvement on Christie. Otherwise could play RW with Babel on LW? Suddenly a front line more willing to counter attack?

He's 33 I think, is he still quick? A bit of an injury risk for a player that needs to cover a lot of ground.

If he were racing someone for 50 meters..yes, he's faster than Christie and would win that race. He carries a lot of muscle though, so he's not going to do that for an entire 90 minutes. Not even for 60 minutes the way Christie/Fosu Mensah were used as right backs. Not going to happen.
He's a good starter/depth player...but not on the wages he's commanding. You could get two players to cover two spots for that $$$.

I'll leave that to the finance guys at the club to determine, but in general it is probably not as clear cut as saying "if we get this player we cannot get the other one". Of course there are limits, and for good reason, but there is nothing suggesting that if (a big if) we go for Valencia then a CB is out of the question. It is going to be even more difficult to speculate if we are going to invent a number of additional possible problems in my opinion.
As I stated before, I believe Valencia even at 33 would be a massive upgrade on Christie.
Quote from: AnOldBrownie on January 28, 2019, 05:06:06 PM
Based on what? I've seen every game both have played over the last two years (well...every game Christie has played as a White)...and saying Valencia is a massive upgrade is an overstatement. Upgrade, yeah...ok, but neither can cross...at times neither is positionally sound as a defender. Valencia is a winger converted to a FB...so maybe that would work...but you're still going to expect that there are going to be huge gaps on the right hand side between Valencia and Odoi when Valencia bombs forward...they haven't played together enough.
A 25 year old Valencia is a massive upgrade over Christie as a winger. As a FB? He's not a massive improvement at 25 or 33. A more accurate passer and a better finisher (well, he USE to be a better finisher).

Based on having had to watch too much Man Utd because of my brother. Admittedly, haven't seen much this season. I think the biggest difference to me is that Valencia's decision making offensively is much better than Christie's. One of our biggest weaknesses is that our fullback in general but Christie specifically fails time and time again to make the correct decisions with the ball in the final third. How many times have we not seen Christie bomb forward, get in a good position and then just stop and do nothing until he looses the ball or passes to a teammate that is now under too much pressure. We cannot continue to play 5 at the back (plus a very offensively challenged defensive MF in Chambers) if our fullbacks can't contribute. Bryan can at least whip in a decent cross now and again.
But would agree that it was an overstatement to say "massive".

Quote from: AnOldBrownie on January 28, 2019, 05:27:53 PMThe problem is as you say, Gary has not chosen and currently as there are still discussions going on with us and others Chelsea are putting no pressure on Cahill, or on Drinkwater. The fact that neither even made the FA Cup Squad says they are going but this is a massive game of chicken. We want players now but if we want either of those now the cost will be permanent move ( no space for English loans) at his current salary with no relegation clause. If we wait until 10.00pm on 31st both Cahill and Chelsea get reasonable - the risk is he goes somewhere else, true, but if we settled last week or now it will break the bank.
I also think the people are too harsh on Tony Khan when it comes to closing deals. Gary Cahill is unsigned right now because GARY CAHILL didn't want to sign. Not because Tony Khan didn't want to sign him 3 weeks ago.
If it were about the amount of $$$ offered...why the hell is Cahill still unsigned by ANYONE?
Tony Khan lacks experience...and I think a lot of teams see that inexperience as an opportunity to make TK wait in his deals. I mean, every other team with a player we want comes at Fulham from a position of strength. They don't need a deal with Fulham. Fulham need a deal with the opposing clubs....and the PLAYERS all have contracts and have to agree to the deal. Why wouldn't these players make the Khans wait to the very last minute?
Rumors have linked Cahill with Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Fulham...and yet Gary hasn't chosen to sign with any of them.

If that turns out to be the case, with Babel being the only signing, then a certain person closely related to the Chairman will look an even larger Richard then he has proved so far to be.

So, recapping the current rumours of our hunt for a central defender I've come up with this:
Vida - Besiktas wants to get rid as he's one of their highest earners. Fulham interested but player leans towards a move to Roma or Inter.
Aziz - Fulham ready to pay the €2,4m Galatasaray is asking for but player wants a move to Lazio.
Ngadeu-Ngadjui - Fulham have apparently bid less than his release clause of €4,5m and Slavia Prague stand firm.
Cahill - Clubs agreed a deal but Cahill not convinced.
Have I missed anything?

Here we are one day before the window closes, what does everybody feel is the bare minimum requirement we need, and do you think it will happen ?
For example , I think we must sign a left back, a right back and a centre back (which is basically what we needed in the summer)
No I don't think it will happen, though I do think we will sign a centre back.

Surprised we aren't connected to any Bundesliga players. In a system geared for fitness, one could easily look at any Bundesliga centre-back to be considered. Majority of the formations are 3 backs, so these centre-backs must be very fit and able to read the game well. My personal choice would be Havard Nodtveit, who is playing for TSG Hoffenheim, but previously played for West Ham. Norway international with good size, and 45 caps to his name. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/21742/Show/H%C3%A5vard-Nordtveit . He's 28 years old, and not currently starting for Hoffenheim. Also, came up the Arsenal youth ranks, before being loaned out a couple times, mostly played for Borussia M'Gladbach. Market has him for roughly £4.5m.

Just as an observation, that seems the worst of all worlds for everyone. If true, he sits on a bench and we are short of a CB..... he needs his attitude addresed if true.

The truth is that it is very likely that we won't get anyone in that is both match fit and has vast recent experience of the PL. The reason for this is that we are obviously not a very attractive option for those players at the moment, generally speaking. A good enough player will adapt, but how quickly is very individual.

Bryan and Christie are from English leagues and they are crap. A good player can adapt to a different league.

They are not crap, they are possibly just not good enough to compete at Premiership level. Two of the three players rumoured to be coming in today are coming from inferior leagues.

Can you remind me which league Hangeland came from?
Can you remind me which league Dempsey came from?
Can you remind me which league Saha came from?
Yes these may be exceptions but it proves there are good players in 'inferior' league to the PL. I'd rather wait and see how they perform for us. At worst it gives us more options and depth. Plus they aren't coming in with the low confidence our defence currently has.
Babel came from Turkey and he has started well. A lot on here criticised that transfer.

Both he and Dempsey also spoke perfect English.

with all that said, we've signed so many french/french african players so far, players from that category are more likely to settle quickly in our team than English lads

Depends really. He's certainly be a great squad upgrade. Just speculating here but I'd like to see Chambers in a 3 at the back if we have these types of players coming through. He's been amazing at DM, but correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think he's played in a 3 which I think he would excel in. Slotting him in (predicting it works) and having Drinkwater/Seri slot in DM, could be a great upgrade for this team.

I rather not have a back 5, since I think that our wing backs are not good enough, and neither are the CBs. Would much rather accommodate more midfielders so that we can play both Cairney and Seri since they are our best players except for Mitro in my opinion. In order to do that, we need to play 3 in midfield so that Seri can be allowed to be a little more adventurous. I believe Drinkwater can be a good option and competition for the midfield 3 of Chambers, Seri and Cairney.

Better wing backs would help, but I still believe that it is for the benefit of the team to play both Seri and Cairney, which is easier to accommodate with a back 4. I know that we shouldn't get too carried away by the second half on Tuesday, but what it showed was that both Seri and Tom can be real players at this level.
As for Drinkwater, I agree that the player that left Leicester would likely walk into the team. Not as certain about the player leaving Chelsea would however, at least not straight away.

For all we know, he may not want to sign another contract. Runs out end of this season, so we are most likely cashing in. Doubt we're selling him just for the sake of it.

Burnley swapping Sam Vokes for Crouch seems to be the worst business of the window of all the relegation zone teams for the window.

KAMARA CONFUSION?
Yeni Malatyaspor have announced the signing of Aboubakar Kamara from Fulham on loan, and he is currently being unveiled in a press conference.
However, Fulham are saying the deal has not been completed.
The Turkish club might have been a bit too keen...
Wonder what the holdup could be. Not likely to have other suitors at this point.

I honestly can't get my head around this google translation but I guess it means Djalo's loan has been cancelled. From Extremadura's official site:
"Extremadura UD is pleased to inform you of the finalization of the transfer of Marcelo Djaló as a Barça player.
The player has played a total of 12 games with the Barca elastic since he arrived, on loan, to the club.
From Extremadura UD we wish Marcelo good luck in his professional future and we appreciate the services rendered."

No point in him (at best) warming the bench for the rest of the season, when he could be getting game time on loan.
Then, next season we would have a decision to make.
The move would make very good sense to me, and for the reasons above, I wouldn't be disappointed.

Quote from: JoelH5 on January 31, 2019, 07:54:07 PMIt was our request for him to come here and do a secondary medical. We want him but he failed it in France.

Did we not get shot of Timothy then? If not what a nonsense as he is never going to feature for us again.
No. He's a w@nker. Refused to leave. Literally flipping us
We should have just written off the wages and sent him back or made sure he went missing??? I'm sure the Khans have a way according to Mr Klines comments

As has been said before these deals have already been explored before and in the pipeline, it's just Palace may not chose to push the button until late and as long as particular but if paper is into the FA the rest can be done afterwards

For a big man he moves very well. Hangeland supports him as well. Can play CB or DMF. Good ratings in both positions. Norwegian international. Previously played PL for West Ham, and didn't do well. We want PL experience though, there you have it. We want size in the CB spot, there you have it.
Looking forward to seeing him in action. I didn't watch him at West Ham, but followed Borrusia M'Gladbach quite a bit while he was there.

So following the usual route he will need to be training hard to get match fit, then he has to integrate into the squad and then he has fit into the jigsaw. All things considered his debut will be marking Salah. No problem then.
Why, Babel aside, do we do this to ourselves. Palace, Cardiff, Newcastle and even Huddersfield have newbies who could be starting on Saturday.

Nordtveit was decent at Borussia M but absolutely horrible at West Ham. He's been injured most of this season so probably not match fit. Not even sure if he's still injured (transfermarkt says expected return Feb 1). And probably not even close to PL quality IMO. Very dissapointing if this is our only transfer business.

And noone knew Chambers would be a good CDM...until Scott Parker threw him there.
I've lost my faith in TFM though. He had the physical tools to own the RB spot...but he was too inconsistent.
He's to Ngadeu-Ngadjui hopefully signing. I'd immediately slot him ahead of both Odoi and Ream...and try to build a partnership between him and MLM in a back 4.

Sorry you're wrong.

I'm in disbelief at what I've just read on the BBC transfer update page:
Tim Long: "Manchester United should recall Fosu Mensah to cover in midfield. Never got a chance in his best position, still only 21, excelled in academy, adds energy & bite, would benefit from Solskjaer touch, & will not get any mins at Fulham under Ranieri. No brainer."
No brainer? Tim ... I don't know where to start with this text.
At least we know why hes crap, we've played him out of position ar RB
And noone knew Chambers would be a good CDM...until Scott Parker threw him there.
I've lost my faith in TFM though. He had the physical tools to own the RB spot...but he was too inconsistent.
He's to Ngadeu-Ngadjui hopefully signing. I'd immediately slot him ahead of both Odoi and Ream...and try to build a partnership between him and MLM in a back 4.

I think it was Ranieri himself who mentioned that Parker suggested it as an option to pursue. I am sure it was a passing comment and not a big deal at the time. Somebody will dig up the quote.

FULHAM'S SABALY MOVE OFF
With four hours of the transfer window remaining, Fulham met Bordeaux's £12million release clause for right-back Youssouf Sabaly, allowing the player to move to Craven Cottage.
However, Sky Sports News has learnt that despite a successful medical and repeated efforts by Fulham over four hours to make contact, Bordeaux failed to respond to any emails or phone calls from Fulham.
We understand no deal sheet has been lodged with the Premier League and as such any potential deal for Sabaly is off.
Release clauses are contractual agreements stating that if a club receives an offer of a certain amount, they have to let the player go.
The player may well have a claim for breach of contract with his club Bordeaux. However, Fulham's efforts to sign a right-back in this window are at an end.

AK option to sign in his loan with relationship broken down. Also Johansen is technically free to leave in summer as his contract hasn't been renewed.

But if the information is true that was a 15 million clause. That would be a great deal I believe. Of Johansen I only know it has a club option for a further year, but don't know when the club has to activate it. Is it too late?

Sorry you're wrong.
'A number that may be divided by another a certain number of times without a remainder.'
Incase your maths is as bad as your English, 2 divided by 2 is 1. ;)

We literally rested on our laurels and now look at us: a complete grease fire.

Scouts? Statistics? Manager sign off?
Looks to me that no-one wanted to join a team likely to be heading for relegation so we went back to the tried and tested of recommendations from friends. Brede for Nordtveit and Mitro for Markovic.
May not be a bad thing. A personal recommendation is often best. Shame no-one knew any plumbers to cure our leaky defence.

I doubt if Nordtveit was recommended by Brede as his comment about Nordtveit was something like "will be better than Odoi at CB" and that he should walk straight into our starting line-up because of our defensive problems. Sounds like a diplomatic way of saying he's pretty average. He's also been injured for a large part of this season (expected return TODAY according to transfermarkt!!!) so probably lacking match fitness.
Markovic... did we really need another winger? If we consider Babel as a backup for Mitro and Markovic as a replacement for AK then it makes sense I suppose. But as far as I can tell he hasn't played a single match all season. And when he went to Anderlecht in January last season "his fitness and condition was so poor that he would miss up to six weeks of game time in order to get up to standard" (that last quote is from wikipedia).
Sounds like we've signed two players lacking match fitness. Doesn't make much sense in our situation.
And where's the RB???
Very disappointing window IMO. Probably not enough to avoid relegation and certainly not planning for next season.
I've noticed that TK has started adding "with the support of our manager" when announcing new players. Makes it sound like he's got the next scapegoat lined up already. Not like last season with TK taking credit for our signings on social media when things were going well.
Quote from: grandad on February 01, 2019, 08:27:29 AMi dont feel sorry for them at all. they are bandits, who keep signing contract extensions knowing they will never play for their parent clubs
The Blue Poo have now 39 players out on loan & Man City have 28.What will happen in season 2020/2021 when this will be limited to between 6 & 8. You have to feel sorry for the players they have stockpiled. They have no identity with their parent club.
Quote from: Arthur on February 01, 2019, 02:05:37 AMThank you for that Arthur. I attempted to post same last night but the post disappeared into the ether. It is exactly as you say.
The confidence that empowered you to correct toshes mate is misplaced.
You have given the definition of 'multiple' when it is used as a noun. Despite that 'multiple signings' is a noun phrase, the word 'multiple', in this instance, is actually an adjective.
The appropriate definition of 'multiple' therefore, is precisely as toshes mate has said: many

Transfer left to the last minute falls through? Naturally, this is Fulham and we have Mackintosh in charge of negotiations. Par for the course. Even the player we've just shipped out to Turkey was signed half a season later than originally intended because our first attempt to sign him from France fell through in the same way.

It fell through because the selling club failed in their duties and obligation to honor a release clause met by the buying club.

Bordeaux president:
"We received an offer yesterday (Thursday) at 20:03. There was a clause in his contract that would have made this transfer. Sabaly had expressed the wish to travel to Fulham Thursday. I am very surprised that a club is allowed to contact a player without talking to his club. There are ways, and that's not ways. Unfortunately, beyond the fact that the club Fulham behaved badly, the conditions were absolutely not met, especially since this offer arrived at a time when globally you do not realize a transfer before the end from the window. We told Sabaly our negative opinion."

And that folks is why you don't do your business so close to the window closing. Clubs are't going to suddenly sell players they value without ample replacement.

Quote from: David I on February 01, 2019, 12:55:35 PMWhen they first surfaced I was also of the opinion that CK's smoke couldn't exist without some kind of attempt to start a fire even if it never actually produced flames. He was close to TK and would have heard things, read things, and formed an opinion about them. Of course, he could have got the whole lot most terribly wrong, and, from the manner of his exit he has a mountain to climb to prove otherwise.Quote from: FFC1987 on February 01, 2019, 12:50:03 PMSurely this must be #fakenews as the recruitment team have been working hard all January to secure signings....Quote from: twang on February 01, 2019, 12:48:22 PM

The on and off the field shenanigans are making the club a laughing stock.
Maybe K has a point with some of his clams? Haven't seen a libel case against him.......
