Hello You Whites, I was just wondering if you were happy with the wheeling and dealing in the window. ?
I've got to say i am well happy with Moyes this summer ...
Pienaar £4m winger/attacking Midfielder.
Mirallas £2.5m Winger / attacking Midfielder/ Striker.
Oviedo £2-5m plus add ons Fullback/ midfield/ winger.
Vadis Odjidja Ofoe Loan, defensive midfield.
Dont usually praise Moyes but every Blue supporter would take those four in a swap for Rodwell any time. They have the versatility that he likes, and the last 3 are under 23years old, and he hasn't even spent all the Rodwell money.
I think we have a chance of top 4 this season.
Bill.
PS ... Good luck today lads and stick it on the Wet Spammers.
No offence mate, but ain't you got your own website to populate???
Yep go away
Yes, I can see Fulham scoring more this season. Losing Dempsey and Dembele has knocked a big hole but Berbatov is absolute class and will do well.
A bit odd but he was trying to be nice, maybe Fulham is his 2nd favourite team,
Yes very happy. Didn't expect anymore except a creative MF. Overall we have done well. Glad I am not a LIverpool supporter, getting a lot of grief off my mate who is. Ahh Shame
Ah !! Ferny you skally _ wag !! :038:
Don't be mean to Licker he is a good guy ...............except when he mentions sour graps 064.gif
and probably did not realise that Vadis Odjidja Ofoe was at our training ground yesterday and
failed our medical/no work permit
To answer your question, for me Demps NOT going to Pool was a result

And i'm not offended mate, but just check my number of posts against yours.
PS... Thanks Jarv
Yeah well my posts are BIGGER than yours. So there.
Mr Fernhurst has millions of posts. The total shown is since he rejoined the site after his work saving lost Evertonians from themselves. He failed sadly.
No we are not all thrilled at losing our best players and many squad players and bringing in only a few. But the quality at least is there.
I'll come back when things have settled down, i dont want to cause any upset but it seems a few peeps got out of bed the wrong side this morning.
Take care and have a nice Day.
Bill.

Don't goooo. Nice to mix with fans from other clubs. Always respected Everton and their fans.
Once again Moyes has done well for you but you nicked our much needed central midfielder so a bit gutted.
What do you think of Fulham's business this window?

Why should he know/care about your history on here?
Judge people on the quality of their posts, not the quantity.

1-0! 064.gif
I think it's been good business for us really. Before it happened I struggled to see how we could even survive if we lost both of the Dems, but I have seen enough to think that we can actually do something this season.
Another CM in would have been good, but we'll get by for now if we have too.
I also agree that the biggest result of the window was Liverpool not getting Dempsey. Classless, is what that club have become.
Don't worry Licker
some of us old heads know your on the level
and Fenhurst is a good guy,he's just been away for a bit
as you can tell they are a hell of a lot of newbie's about
as well as some pointless attention seeking miserablists
Everton have had a very good window,possible top 6 if things go your way
We have had a good window,mid field is a bit light,but we have options down the flanks and up front we have a proven class goal scorer
maybe top 8 for us
Clint's ego got the better of him I'm afraid and he's gone to warm a bench in North London
Dembele has been honest and clever,and he'll be at Real Madrid in under 3 years in my opinion.
COYW'S
REally worried about the lack of cover in central midfield. If Sidwell gets another of his long-term injuries we will have to play Baird out of position or rely on the comparatively untried Kasami. Would have been happy had we retained Ethuhu or, better still, Gercov, who I think will develop into a first-class player.

Totally agree about Dembele and am only sorry he couldn't be persuaded to spend a couple more years at the Cottage before making his dream move to Real Madrid or Man Utd. As I said before on this board I think he is the most skilful player the club has had since Johnny Haynes. It's been a rare pleasure to watch him.
If we'd have gotten a new CM like that Belgian lad in, I'd have said it was a good window, or at least as good as can be when you lose your two best players. As it stands though I think CM is now the weakest area for us in terms of our first 11, and then we don't even have that much cover there which is pretty worrying with Diarra and Sidwell and their injury history. If we can last til January with those two or whoever else Jol puts in in whatever system, we'll have done well and then we can put the money from this window into a good, well scouted, and long term CM.

Thanks Syd, i went to bed last night about 10.30pm after we signed Oviedo thinking that was it, i got up this morning and we had signed obladi obladah or whatever his name is, i had no idea he was linked to you.
I can see how peeps are a bit upset, because Dembele and Dempsey are a massive loss and its easy to see why you needed to strengthen the midfield.
But Berbatov at that price is a steal, he should provide you with some goals.
Bill.
yeah it has been a good window, will have to see how Dejagah does as well. Disappointed you got Odjidja Ofoe as we were reportedly in for him, and really in need of another CM. Will be gutted if he turns out to be a star and we missed out!
But have a lot of respect for Everton and would love to see them finish ahead of that red lot
With our failure to resolve our midfield issues no. I have a feeling this could be our downfall to a poor season. The squad looks very thin and old.

Agree, not happy this morning as you can probably tell
I know people believed that we wouldn't lose both Dems beforehand,but I couldn't see us letting them see out their contracts.
This means that we should have been ready for the 2 to go.
We have replacements for Dempsey, but no replacement for Dembele is weird.
OK so we might end up with Reo Coker but we are still too weak in the centre.
I am pretty happy. Jol's interview he needed a few midfielders, some one dropped the ball behind the scenes, Jol didn't get what he wanted and now he has a job on, hopefully people will have a bit of patience with him. Good luck to Everton this season, no doubt you'll get one over on the red side of Liverpool this season.
Hello Bill,
Yes, I'm pretty happy thanks.
It was a shame to see Dempsey and Dembele but the writing had been on the wall so this was not a surprise.
We got a good price for Dempsey and we rightly took Liverpool down a peg or two. Bit annoying to see Dempsey claiming it "is a dream come true" to play for Spurs, but that's part and parcel with any new signing.
I'm really pleased with Berbatov and Petric but our midfield could be more muscle than brains until January.
As others have pointed out Bill is a long term, although infrequent visitor to FoF. Doesn't hurt to mind your manners every now and then.
Licker is a long time friend of Friends of Fulham and yes he is a Toffee supporter. BE NICE to him!
I'm getting embarrassed with all this good Karma, thanks lads i'll try and make it to the Cottage this season, hope to have pre-match drinks with you whites. Have to get LB to get me a ticket.
Cheers
Bill.
Bill,
I won't apologize for some of the posters on here, that's for themselves, but at least there's a bunch of us that know your history with this MB, and for those of you don't know, Bill was a regular poster here and, for not being one of the faithful, he has always been a Friend of Fulham in the truest sense possible.
In answer to your question, I'm neither happy nor too sad. Sorry to see Moose go, but that's about it, the rest were on the cards.
Got a couple of nice replacements, just need the time for them to settle down and get us back to playing well again.
Best of luck with the rest of the season ('cept for 3/11 of course).
