Sorry guys
:slap:
I don't make the rules
Not even a day! I think you need to see someone about this worrying addiction mate.
:slap:
Meant to be a good player that we will of course never sign ::thumb:: 😂
Pepi will surely be on the radar for the summer....
Reed will probably be off, but the big movers and shakers could be Wilson and Silva.
Why haven't we signed someone yet, ::angry:: TK its all down to you
Welcome back old friend, it's like you never went away.
From memory, last year's edition ran to 300+ pages, so there's work to be done. Doubt we will get quite that high this time round, not because the season will be any less silly, but because there must have been a dozen pages of speculative references to Oscar Bobb. Of course, a new cause celebre may yet be found.
Bring it on.
Pepi will probably bang in 6 goals, get 3 assists in the World Cup, PSV will up his price to £80 million, we will haggle them down all window till we end up paying £79.5 million on deadline day.
He'll play his first game for us, tear his ACL and break his leg...........
#Fulhamish
Bidon would be a phenomenal signing

Seems positive in that regard although very possible he's a target regardless and club dont want to risk world cup tax and a bidding war. Clubs clearly aligned on him and fits the profile of what they're now trying to go after (younger prospects with high ceilings)
FFN reporting the player really wants the move sorted before WC and is flattered and impressed by how much constitant interest and willingness we've shown for the move.
Also saying that he thinks psv are willing to honour the agreed deal of £32m
Saying this was made out of alot of add-ons some which are hard to achieve. Uo front cost much more modest. DSTM

Interesting Bidón plays for Corinthians Paulista that is named after a team Corinthians FC founded in the London postcode W14 that played at Queens Club. Corinthians is an incredible team with 86 England Internationals before effectively closing.
Fulham FC (St Andrew's Fulham) was also founded in the tiny bit of Fulham that is the W14 postcode. People assume Fulham FC was founded in SW6, but only Chelsea has that honour.

Seems he's saying it's getting there to me, likely last few details to settle I would think (finer elements of deal structure potentially) either way it sounds like they're open to an agreement before summer which hopefully is good news
Who knows what Rik means, but he does live in a country where a yellow light only precedes the red.

Muniz and pepi challenging for first team with kusi as backup (maybe a year on loan as we still have Raul) and our CF looks very strong! For some years too if everyone stays fit and at the club.
Can we please sign a keeper in the summer!
How strong is the Dutch League compared to the Championship here.
How about Aleksandar Stankovic? He turns 21 this year. Can play as a cm or dm, so would be perfect for our double pivot and he provides more goal threat than all our current options at the 6/8. 4 goals and 1 assist in 23 games for Brugge in Belgian league and 3 goals and 2 assists in 12 Champions League games. He's the son of Dejan Stankovic (Serie A fans remember him from his time at Inter when they won 5 league titles in a row, CL, etc.)

To be fair even Palhinha had more goal threat than all of our 6/8 options.
Quote from: demeant0r on February 11, 2026, 01:57:26 PMTo be fair even Palhinha had more goal threat than all of our 6/8 options.
It's different. Stankovic doesn't only score screamers and headers from set-pieces, like Palhinha pretty much exclusively does. He can take free-kicks and he makes late runs in to the box. Find the clip of his debut goal for Serbia vs Latvia for example. I really think he has a lot of what we are looking for in that position.

Dragging up Sterling again, he's signed for Feyenoord.
We always need at least one Arsenal signing each summer...so i think it will be Nelson in as our 4th winger (Kevin, Bobb, Chuk, Nelson) after Wilson opts for a (well deserved) large signing-on fee somewhere for his final big pay cheque.
Then, for good measure, Willock as the new nr 8.

According to the BBC's Gossip page Spurs, Arsenal, Manure and Chelsea are keeping tabs on him. Lukic, Mitro and Serbian Lad get your fingers out and get him to Fulham.

He probably would,but I think we need to spend big on a midfielder in the summer. We desperately need a new midfielder, and we should have got one in the summer or at least in the January window, however we didn't get anyone.
It's not the sort of thing that our so called recruitment team would do but they should be looking at Yan Vipotnic at Swansea.
Scoring lots of goals in the Championship, and very similar in style and stature to Mitro.
No doubt one of our more progressive
rivals will get him in the summer window

Had a very decent game thought the cross for their 3rd goal was better than the goal he actually scored. How do you defend against that quality. Would love to see a player at Fulham with that quality at set pieces. First time I had seen him live in a game and quite impressed definitely has a bit of a swagger the way he plays.

Of the four Bill we might have missed the boat with Robinson high value though he would still if sold be good profit. Bassey & Lukic don't see either if sold being high value especially the latter. Muniz is the one potentially who could go high value but when fully fit he is going to have to take his game up more than a few notches hopefully he can but I have major doubts that he won't?

Cant see Lukic or Bassey going for any high value. Robinson maybe £15m, similar for Muniz, we missed the boat with both of those players in terms of cashing out. Id probably keep AR given we wont get a decent fee, and for £15m he is a good back up to Sess. Muniz I would be more tempted to offload and bring in Pepi plus another top striker

Agree, well I would bring pepi in, Sell Muniz and get a decent extra striker. If we are going to insist on playing one up top, we need a decent return from two strikers, so my pref would be to have two decent strikers
I think from that list Bassey is actually the most likely player to attract a high value bid we'd accept. He was arguably the best defender in the AFCON and he had some stellar performances against "big teams" in the league and the cup. His age is good enough and his physical profile is excellent.
Muniz would obviously be an even more obvious choice, but I can't see us selling him no matter how high someone bids(unless it's some crazy 70 million bid or something).

I think the most probable high value sales would be Kevin, Bobb and King. Young players with high ceiling and can imagine top clubs taking them on. Agree with Muniz, but think this injury has been a major setback for him - he was on a great trajectory.
I personally never felt Robinson could or would go for big money. He has a low technical level, but was absolutely greenlining for a period of time. On his day he's just a very good and capable mid table PL player who can be influential, and at this stage of career will have diminishing returns potentially. The top clubs will always demand a higher technical level than what he offers, he does better transitionally rather than in teams that dominate the ball which is why he's looked better in PL than he did in Championship.

Those rumours came from teamtalk though who have never been right about anything but nobody seems to care.
Bassey is far too error prone to merit a move to a top club I feel. He makes too many mistakes at a mid table club like us.

Id probably keep AR given we wont get a decent fee, and for £15m he is a good back up to Sess. Muniz I would be more tempted to offload and bring in Pepi plus another top striker
High value was not a good choice of words but a player or two sold for a combination of around a total of £20/30 million would help ease the SCR situation, especially if on a high ish salary.
This to allow younger signings to continue.

There was one in January. He will be a free agent in the Summer but he's playing so well we probably won't be able to meet his wage demands.

Doesn't sound like us p1ssing around here really at all.
Sounds like they just didn't really want to make the move in January and couldn't find a better available option themselves, so didn't exactly push for it...but evidently they accept the money was already very acceptable, hence seems likely this one will happen before summer
I hope I'm proven wrong on this one - but I think the Pepi deal is a risk. He's going to be a lot of money if the fees are right, and while he can develop, you would expect a higher seasonal return in that league in a very good PSV side.
The flip side here is that our American owners would want the American number 9 at their club, and merchandising opportunities offsets some of that cost.

Definitely a risk and I have my doubts about his ability to succeed in the PL but his goalscoring rate is extremely good. He just hasn't got a ton of minutes due to circumstance and injury that have kept the totals down.
As for the price, it's in line with what other strikers go for, maybe even a bit cheap. The market is for strikers is just silly.

Yes, since moving to PSV he's averaged a goal every 75 minutes both domestically and in the Champions League.

Very this
His goals per season have been more about circumstance than anything else
His goals per minute stats are one of the best in Europe , and it's carried over to champs league too.
Every time he's broken into first team he's had an unfortunate injury, or come back to the team just as luuk de Jong was bang on form for them. This season being another example, where he finally emerged as their main striker in absence of others, scoring well, only to break his arm.
There are of course always concerns at that price tag but he's certainly been very impressively efficient with his minutes in terms of output. Will it translate to the prem? Well have to see. But with the wingers we have we've got players capable of providing a poacher with chances

Muniz was a risk, even Mitro and Jimenez were risks.. come to think of it, bar Berbatov, I don't think we've ever signed a striker who didn't come with risks. But you have to take them, and you have to have a transfer policy and insights to know what works.
Given Marcos ability to get the best out of so many players, and our increasing ability to target young players with potential, both through the academy and also in the first team, I think we're getting a lot better at understanding how to take a healthier and more calculated risk, and feel Pepi would come good for us.
He's one of the best strikers in Europe in terms of minutes per goal contribution, and that includes CL games too.
I trust Marco to be able to get the best out of him, and alongside Bobb, Kevin, King, ESR.. I think he could definitely find him form for us
Quote from: General on February 19, 2026, 11:24:58 PMMuniz was a risk, even Mitro and Jimenez
Muniz and Jimenez were brought in for very low fees, so definitely not that big of a risk and Mitro originally came on loan and when we bought him permanently, he was still significantly cheaper than the quoted Pepi fee and he was more PL proven(had a 9 goal season in his first year at Newcastle as a teenager).
I don't see how any of the three are comparable to Pepi.
That being said, I think we've stabilised as a PL club, and we can take more risks. I wouldn't be against moving on from Raul and giving Pepi a go, as it seems like he's our top choice for the striker position.
Apparently Juventus are interested in Sess, Fulham are in talks to activate the 1 year extension. I would assume they're in talks over a new contract but will activate the extention if they don't find an agreement, can't see sess leaving.

I don't see it happening. After what he's been through at spurs and finally finding his feet again would be very surprised

I suspect that is the thing. He tried a move to a, slightly, more glamorous club and it went horribly wrong. I think Sess and his family are pretty sensible grounded people and so I doubt Sess would be angling for another move any time in the foreseeable.

That he doesn't play for his beloved Brentford, I would guess.
Pepi coming on for psv for 30min appearance
Aaaand he's scored
Absolutely sitter from a terrible goalkeeper error
Edit*
VAR ruled it out...the guy who intercepted the kick out from the GK encroached on the penalty area during goal kick.
....and hes scored a belter
https://x.com/i/status/2025293171484213501
I'm sure that goal he scored is very necessary to PSV winning the title. The same PSV that was 14 points ahead of second with 11 matches to go before today. 🙄
Doesn't matter. It's their right not to sell and we should respect that.

TBF I don't think we wanted anyone else regardless. It was Pepi or no one it seems. So wether they sold him in January or by the summer it seems our hearts set on this one. We tried to push them to sell sooner but they didn't go for it even though theyve accepted the money was clearly good enough.
This one does look like it should get done before the summer. But if he goes on an absolute tear scoring at will again they may well hold out and hope he has a killer world cup. That really would be gutting.
Looked brilliant today coming off the bench. Not just the goal, he was dropping and linking play well too and looked a cut above most on the pitch
Liam Delap apparently on the way out. 30m being a mooted fee Everton are considering. His style would be perfect for us bit question whether wages would be within our budget.

Think were all in on Pepi and clearly have him down as the target the club and manager are aligned on wanting. Doubt we go after anyone else unless Muniz were to randomly depart aswell as raul which I think unlikely
Sell Muniz and bring in Delap as well as Pepi
As suspected could happen...
Nwaneri reportedly struggling a bit over at Marseille with all the disruption, di zerbis departure etc.
If we lost Wilson I wonder if we'd consider making a move there. If his season at Marseille doesn't work out perhaps he could be picked up on a similar deal to ESR cost wise. He's still very raw but another who could find themselves in an ESR/Bobb type situation, good player, lots of potential not quite getting a path to regular games for their boyhood club.
I know, it's alot to spend on a position we've laid out alot on recently. And yes rather the money first and foremost goes to CF then CM and RB if Castagne goes. But...one of those that fits the Fulham approach of recent years.

Disagree about his style fitting us. He excels in route 1 and counter attacking football. His holdup, heading and in structure play is pretty poor which are the areas we needs the most out of our striker. He likes a long ball into space that he can get onto and carry into the box to shoot or create. That's when he is at his best. We don't really do that under Marco.

Yeah but route 1 football often requires a target man who is good at holding up the ball or an I completely off? If that's the case then Delap not being good at holding up the ball would mean he's not good at route 1 football
Quote from: demeant0r on February 24, 2026, 09:52:27 PMIsn't that how we played with Mitro?
Not really. Mitro dropped back, similar to how Raul does now, and contributed a lot in the build-up of attacks and then he arrived in the box in the end of attacks. We did sometimes go route 1, especially against the best teams, because he was capable of doing that too, but it wasn't the only way we played.
His last match for Fulham is actually a good example of it not being route 1 football actually. He created the winning goal with a great "hockey" assist when he dropped a bit deeper.

It's weird, why on earth would he do that? Especially when he's running into great form!
Someday in 2034 we will go a week without drama
Wasn't Iwobi in a bit of trouble with the club a few months back, posting stuff on his social media that they didn't want shared? Guessing it could be to do with that.

What can ya do, he's gonna do what's right for him and his family. Likely can end of his career at a team potentially in champions league, good wage, hefty sign on fee and closer to home.
I'd have been very suprised if he stayed to be honest. Good news is we have Oscar Bobb and Chukwueze already for RW. So will need to look for an LW most likely come the Summer. Another reason we won't be able to keep on Raul I think, we'll need the wiggle room with wages to make signings at CF, LW and CM
Shame if he goes, but going to Villa just feels like a bad move for him to be honest.
Villa have a habit of handing out exorbitant contracts so wouldn't surprise me if that's where he ends up.
Be gutted to lose him but not surprised. He would certainly leave with my best wishes for his future (as long as he doesn't go to Chelsea!).

Great positioning to be there for the goal, something we have missed this season
Reports Arsenal are looking to sign Samual Amissah
"- Fulham are expected to "accelerate" their efforts to sign PSV and USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi, according to Fabrizio Romano. Pepi suffered a broken forearm while in action for PSV in mid-January but made a scoring return to action this weekend and is keen to move to the Premier League for next season. Fulham were close to agreeing to a fee in the region of €37 million ($43.9 million) in the January transfer window, but the deal was contingent on PSV finding a replacement, which they could not do."
ESPN carrying these reports in the States.
And, FWIW, reports here are that Liverpool and maybe United are looking at Jedi for 25mm. We will see.
Stating the bleeding obvious but we need a forward who will score us 15+ goals a season and a top quality midfielder who can dictate and drive the team forward.
Maybe then we will see the talents in the team at their best as well.
It will take a lot of money and persuading to sign such players and I doubt it will happen.
Disillusioned ?
You bet!

Fulham were close to agreeing to a fee in the region of €37 million ($43.9 million) in the January transfer window, but the deal was contingent on PSV finding a replacement, which they could not do."

Perhaps we could offer them Muniz?

Disagree about his style fitting us. He excels in route 1 and counter attacking football. His holdup, heading and in structure play is pretty poor which are the areas we needs the most out of our striker. He likes a long ball into space that he can get onto and carry into the box to shoot or create. That's when he is at his best. We don't really do that under Marco.
I know that these attributes are important, but they are not what we need most from a striker. What we need is someone who can find the net on a regular basis.

Quote from: bill taylors apprentice on March 09, 2026, 02:58:55 PMStating the bleeding obvious but we need a forward who will score us 15+ goals a season and a top quality midfielder who can dictate and drive the team forward.
Maybe then we will see the talents in the team at their best as well.
It will take a lot of money and persuading to sign such players and I doubt it will happen.
Disillusioned ?
You bet!
We have midfielders that can do that at a high level already, but MS is more concerned about their defensive qualities. We can buy a top notch £100m attacking midfielder and he won't play until he becomes more defensive, therefore negating their core skill, Kevin, exhibit A.
I'm happy with our business this year but we've still a lot to do IMO. I hope there's more cash in the bank. We need almost an entirely new spine IMO (CF, CM and ideally GK) plus a long-term replacement for Tete and a winger if we lose both Wilson and Chukuweze. At this point our business prior to 2025 doesn't look so good. Berge and Castagne were probably overpriced and not young, and we've been papering over the cracks up front since Mitrovic left. That underspending and short-termism is coming back to haunt us. We still need a couple more strong, punchy windows to fix it.

Pepi with another game winner tonight
Great positioning to be there for the goal, something we have missed this season
Not a great defence. He was completely unmarked in the 6 yard box.

Not a great defence. He was completely unmarked in the 6 yard box.
Indeed, decent anticipation to get into space though, and last week he scored a belter from outside the area, so he can do both.
Anyway! Who are we taking from the carcass of Spurs? :slap:
Djed Spence back for next to nothing?
VDV is out of our range.
Maybe Archie Gray?
I honestly can't think of any others that we would need or who would improve us, I would rather keep Raul for another two years than I would pay out anything for Solanke or Richarlison.
Kulusevski if he can stay fit enough to pass a medical, maybe?
Over to you lot..

Definitely not that thug Romero..
Bergvall for Reed?
Would Solanke bring anything to the table for us?
Bergvall will go to a big club. I wouldn't touch Spence. I rate his ability but he seems to have such an attitude. Feel like Archie Gray will stay even with relegation. Gallagher I once rated but again, wouldn't go near him now, looks really slow. Don't think I'd touch Palinha, Tel or Muani, despite the last two looking lively, just lacking final product.
I'd like Richarlison.

If Marco stays I would love to see Richarlison up front. I know many don't care for him, but he is the prototype front man for Marco's style.
I think if Richarlison becomes available, Silva will try and get him, he's bought him to 2 previous clubs thus far. Personally I don't have an issue with this.

Tend to think his a tad inconsistent and quite injury prone nowadays let alone the type of wages he'll demand. I like him because he has an edge to his game but they would likely cause further issues down the line with suspensions? We seem to be looking at players now within a certain age group with the hope of decent sell on value?
Richarlison, Paulinha, and Haden Hackney
And Marco and Harry re-up

No but that Vicario is a good keeper imo
Why do people talk about taking relegated players?
Are these the same people that say we have no ambition?
Even if we liked a certain relegated player they still might cost a packet!
And why do we think that just because they've been relegated they want to jump to us?
Sorry, but I think it's a dumb question- who would we take, like we can pick!

Because they are generally available whereas getting a Prem player is otherwise very difficult unless you are a big 6 club. They may choose another club over us, but almost all of the time they will choose us over the Championship. Yes, they can still cost a good bit of money but generally less than they would have cost normally.

Vicario is a walking blunder, I hope you are just kidding. Leno is miles better.

Kinsky had a bad day for sure, but would like to see more of him, Leno has consistant bad days now, so in terms of replacements he could be one, as could Vicario.

Is he a PL player? This is the only season so far he's played well in the Championship with 15 g/a so far. He's had one other season with 17 g/a but that was in League 1.

Leno is much more solid. They don't compare in all honesty. Leno's been a reliable PL and international level goalkeeper at the top level for years now. Kinsky is 22 and made his spurs debut? in the CL and made two errors.
What I would say about Kinsky, is whilst he was only on for 16/17 mins and he did concede three, he was at fault for two maximum, which given the nature of the game and goalkeeping recently isn't that bad.. I say that aware that had he played longer it could've gotten a lot worse.
Oblak in the same game gave the ball away to spurs in the lead up to Solanke's goal, so on the face of it Kinsky only made one more mistake than one of the best and reliable gk's in the world.
VDV also slipped leading to Madrid's second goal, suggesting either studs of pitch could've led to something more significant in terms of what happened on the pitch.
Pape Sarr also essentially headed straight at Vicario in the spurs goal, requiring quite a good reaction save to keep the ball out from being an own goal just before one of Madrid's goals too.
The game was littered with errors beyond just Kinsky's.
Donnarumma let Real's first goal go through his hands when he could've saved/touched it - he withdrew his hands whilst still in the box.. Even with Donnarumma in goal and a decent strength team Pep's side still went 3-0 down, the same difference between their scoreline and the spurs one, and the Chelsea one.
Jorgensen in Chelsea's goal gifted PSG their third goal by passing to a PSG player..
Think Kinsky needs to be given a bit more of a benefit of the doubt given those high profile mistakes in the same round from other keepers, especially given the opponents (3rd in la liga with spurs potentially up for relegation), strikers (Griezman, Lookman, Llorente) and all else
I think we'd be better off with Nastassja Kinski 🫣 ::thumb:::slap:
Apparently Kinsky was so devestated that he went to the dressing room, sat down and put his head between his hands.
Sadly, that fell through them as well
Lot of talk about Wilson and his contract ending but I reckon Robinson will be off after the WC.
It's just my gut feeling but since his comeback from injury I think his game has lost intensity and its more than just getting back to match fitness.
I think he's taking it carefully to ensure he's fit for the WC (a home WC for his team) and good performances there will attract interest.
Fulham on verge of signing ex-Arsenal youngster Casey
Latest from Sky Sports News' Adrian Kajumba:
Fulham are on the verge of signing former Arsenal youngster Dan Casey.
Casey has completed a medical with the Craven Cottage club and is expected to sign an initial two-year deal.
The 18-year-old will begin his Fulham career in their U21s setup.
The move to Fulham will end months of uncertainty over his future for Casey.
The attacking midfielder left Arsenal last summer after turning down a professional deal to explore other options. He firstly saw a proposed move to Crystal Palace break down and has also spent time training with Manchester City and Feyenoord.
But Fulham have now managed to agree a compensation package with Arsenal to sign the teenager.
Casey joined Arsenal aged seven and shone for their U18s last season, scoring 18 goals in 21 appearances. He also featured for their U19 and U21 sides and trained with Mikel Arteta's first team.
Casey was born in London but is also eligible to play for Italy through his mother.
Sky Sports News understands he is expected to be in contention for a call-up to Italy's U19s squad once his club future is finally resolved and he has settled into life at Fulham.
Casey another good signing from the gunners get him in.

I just hope we dont then spend 3 months watching him sit on the bench
Anyone interested in possible striker Tolu Arokodare of Wolves? I was kind of hoping FFC would be looking at him past summer. If Wolves go down, maybe he would be available? Only 25 years old, big, strong kid. Not sure if he's getting starting assignments, the few Wolves games I've seen he's come on as sub. But seems to be contributing. Anyway, just a thought....
We've been linked with Aygemang (sp) the Derby forward. Watched Portsmouth Derby last night. No idea whether he can score goals buy by God he is fast and built like the proverbial sh1thouse door - another AK47??
FWIW

Love that. Ricardo Pepi is going to be a joy to watch. Surely this is a good sign for Silva's contract? I doubt a player joins us without hearing the plans of the manager? Maybe I'm naive.

That's the hope. Rarely have we signed a played mid season and outside of the transfer windows. Fingers crossed it all goes ahead and is just a formality. Would be refreshing to have him signed before the end of the season, especially with all the ambiguity that's been going in around Wilson, Silva, Raul and our form

Gives Fulham the chance to look for any preexisting or chronic conditions which might put a kibosh on the deal. Good for all parties to know now instead of waiting till the summer.

I hope the contingency being if he gets a long-term injury between now and when the window opens we can cancel the deal.
Delighted with this. Still annoyed PSV didn't just do this in Jan as we could do with Ricardo really.
But hey, great to have him tied up. Hope he has a screamer or a world cup...but only once he's 100% confirmed of course.
Siliva must be leaving as he wont be able to moan about not getting early signings
