Good luck to him hope it works out well
"Good luck to him hope it works out well"
Agreed. I thought he was reasonable in the Championship and am surprised he had no real look in under our current manager. Maybe issues off the pitch or in training.

Tete is way ahead of our other RB's and Odoi is a fixture at this point. BDR, Reed, Tosin or Sess can cover as well in a pinch. Christie just the odd one out.
Nice guy but for me, just not up to scratch with a team in the top 2. Wish him all the best though.
Good luck hope it works out for him
Good luck to the guy - hard worker who tries his best. Hope it works out for him
I think it's been a disappointment for all involved. Not necessarily anyone's fault, but just not a good fit.
Wish him the best of luck elsewhere.
echo the good wishes to him. Shame it hasn't worked out
"Tete is way ahead of our other RB's and Odoi is a fixture at this point"
I agree about Tete but in the many weeks he was unavailable I'd have hoped CC would have had a chance. Odoi has done well overall but for me at least it was far from clear who would be the better option once Tete was injured.
Feel for Cyrus,he had a great game against Leeds in the League Cup...Afterwards the manager said that Cyrus was well in his plans,yet after that game he hasn't even been on the bench...Strange.
His 25-yarder against QPR was a definite highlight. Good luck to him
I think he's a better player than we've seen really.
Good solid pro, genuinely nice fella, hope he does well. If on loan he won't be able to play us!
I always thought he was decent at Championship level and used to enjoy watching him. Probably better going forward than defending and wasn't helped when he had Cav ahead of him on our right, I'd have thought that he might have formed quite a decent partnership with Wilson. Agree Tete number one but I always felt CC was the best choice as understudy.
He did a really good job when he came on for Fredericks for the last 15 minutes of the playoff final v Villa, and for that alone he should always be remembered with affection.
Wish him all the best.

Always best to wait until the move is confirmed on the OFFAL until we react.

Mid Feb then.
It has fell through,I would have thought with 6months on his contract and on "TONYS" wages,Swansea won't be able to compete,your not going to take a drop in wages ,you might as well weight to the summer, nochy is similar but has 2 years more,unless we pay part of their wages which is as I have said before not sustainable at our level.
A big problem, highly paid players are going to sit out their contract. I guess all we can do is loan them out and partly pay their wages but that means we are losing out partly on wages but also on a transfer fee.

Just shows what a balls up it was to give them those highly paid contacts.
Other recruitment teams pick up equally good players for less money on far less wages.
Never got a good enough look in, Cyrus is one hell of a player in my book, in terms of professionalism, energy, and dedication. Wish it worked out... and hope he can jump start what remains of his career at Swansea!

Agree with this. Still can't understand how Odoi got in ahead of him when Tete was injured.
Cyrus was purchased as a replacement for Ryan Fredericks and yet he is nothing like our former right back who gave everything Jokanovic asked for in his last months with us, as he had done before deciding to move elsewhere.
Christie is a reasonable Championship performer, perhaps as a right sided midfielder than full back, but was not a good fit for the job he was purchased by FFC for. That wasn't and isn't his fault but obviously now shackles his ability to find a better fit employer and maintain his wages. Having watched him play for Ireland as a better fit to the task he was asked to perform I rate him as a competent performer rather than anything outstanding. I don't think his time with FFC fairly reflects his potential ability so much as expectations but the four coaches he has worked for appear to have agreed upon his place in the pecking order.
Perhaps Cyrus will be remembered for being one of the nicest people to ever play for Fulham. Unfortunately his ability on the field didn't match his good guy nature off it. Hope he gets a move somewhere decent and finishes his career on a high. He deserves it.
Regarding some of the points made, the problem is the DOF has given very high wages for average Professionals.
If you where asked to take shall we say a 40% cut in earnings for the hassle of moving clubs, with all the settling in issues that would follow, would you?
That is why the likes of Christie,Fabri,Knockaert, Kongolo and others will stay until their contracts expire.
Will the DOF learn from this?
Maybe a UK based DOF would help.
Confirmed loan to Swansea

Good luck to him. A good man, I hope this will lead to better footballing times for him.
Good luck to Cyrus hope it works out. On topic of Fredericks, noticed he is out of contract at end of season and is not playing much for WHU. Would really suit our style and would be good to have him back in my opinion, even though Tete and Odoi are decent, a pacy full back like Fredericks is always a good option.

I don't think he would want to come back tbh. He was very keen to leave!
Fulham incoming then? who we getting

Wonder if we need one or two more gone first. I don't know who is registered to play in our 25, but I don't think Cyrus was one of them.

I don't think there is much in it between him and Odoi as a right back. Odoi was more versatile though and also an even bigger character
...If we had the two best left backs in the division competing against each other, we had the two nicest right backs competing for second place behind Kenny Tete

Agree with this. Still can't understand how Odoi got in ahead of him when Tete was injured.
Because Odoi is far better.

Okay Yokuslu I presume. WSW mentioned one deal already done last week. This would make sense - has Prem experience with WBA and rated by their fans - a 6ft 3 defensive midfielder who has played centre back
Fabri, Kongolo (Loan), Quina (return), Knockaert and Onomah next please...

Far better ? That's a bit of an exaggeration IMO. Odoi is one of those players who seems to have achieved legend status with some fans despite the catalogue of errors that have littered his time at Fulham.

Quite a lot of fans I think - it's just some unfortunates who can't see it ( and repeatedly post their negative view of Denis at every possible opportunity ) Nevermind in Silva I prefer to trust.

I personally think he is underrated. Either way far better than Christie. Our previous managers seem to be on the same page in that respect.
