Title: The Official Silly Season 2014/15 Transfer Thread
Post by: Admin on May 14, 2014, 03:23:03 PM
And so it all starts again Ladies & Gentleman. The 2014 season has barely finished, but the silly season for 2014/15 looks like it has started, with rumours of so and so leaving, so and so going there, so and so refusing to sign a new contract, and so and so coming in.

As the rebuild is likely to start early this season, I thought this would go hand in hand with a new Official Silly Season thread for 2014/15. Please post all your rumours / inside information here, but please keep try to keep on topic.

FM specifically said Sunday's team was chosen as it removed all players who's contacts can end in July, except for Heitinga and Sidwell. He wouldn't have put in Chris David if he could leave.

I think this is scare-mongering. David will be here next season..

Seems he has wanted to go for a while. Unless he moves somewhere lower than us and gets first team football it's an odd move if orchestrated by himself.

Bryan Ruiz will not play for PSV next season. The Dutch powerhouse took him over on loan from Fulham, but the player out of Costa Rica is considered too expensive and PSV already has several players like Luciano Narsingh and Zakaria Bakkali.

I hear fulham are in for prolific goal avoiders van wolfswinkle and hooper from Norwich. Inside sources say that due to our leaky defence we are looking to sign players who have a natural ability to divert all threatening balls away from goal and the Norwich duo fit the bill.

It would be surprising if he did after the interview he did recently....However I recall a certain Moussa Dembele who claimed he was staying to see the club to a top 6 spot....followed by a transfer to Spurs....

If Spurs come in for David with a 15m price tag I would sell him too AND reinvest the funds this time.

Former Fulham forward Berbatov signs new Monaco deal
By talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) | Friday, May 16, 2014  
Former Fulham man Dimitar Berbatov has penned a new deal at Monaco.
The Bulgarian left Craven Cottage in January and helped the French club to a second-place finish in Ligue 1, while his former side were relegated to the Championship.
Mega-rich Monaco have now opted to hand fresh terms to the 33-year-old, who also counts Tottenham and Manchester United among his old sides.
"With AS Monaco, Dimitar showed all his talent and has put his qualities at the service of the team," said Vadim Vasilyev, the club's vice president.
"This is a great player and we are proud to have him here for the next season. "

From Bild:

Kutschke, the Wolfsburg, despite the contract is allowed to leave until 2017, exclusively told BILD: "Yes, contact with Felix Magath still exists. And England is an option in any case. "

And England Kutschke has already obtained information. "I was on the phone with my buddy Stefan Maierhofer," says Kutschke on. "He plays for the English second division Millwall. He has raved about the 2nd league in England. Since each duel is acclaimed, each won a header duel. He said: This is exactly our cup of tea "

However Kutschke also says: "I have many requests of the German second division."

Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome linked with Fulham move
By Kyle Jones ⋅ May 18, 2014

Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome is at the top of recently relegated Fulham's summer transfer targets according to the Sun on Sunday.

Jerome, who spent the season at Crystal Palace is targeted by the championship new boys as they prepare for life in the second division since 2000. The 27 year old was a regular in the improved Palace side under Tony Pulis and can only see his future is away from Stoke.

This could be a replacement for Konstantinos Mitroglou, the 26 year old Greek international who arrived at Craven Cottage for 12 million pounds and never made the impact that sacked René Meulensteen hoped for.

Roberts is 36 and has scored 8 goals in 26 games for Reading, Koumas is 34 and currently plying his trade back at Tranmere and as for O'Hara, no one, and I mean no one sniffed at him when Wolves got relegated twice on the bounce. No thanks.

Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome linked with Fulham move
By Kyle Jones ⋅ May 18, 2014

Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome is at the top of recently relegated Fulham's summer transfer targets according to the Sun on Sunday.

Jerome, who spent the season at Crystal Palace is targeted by the championship new boys as they prepare for life in the second division since 2000. The 27 year old was a regular in the improved Palace side under Tony Pulis and can only see his future is away from Stoke.

This could be a replacement for Konstantinos Mitroglou, the 26 year old Greek international who arrived at Craven Cottage for 12 million pounds and never made the impact that sacked René Meulensteen hoped for.



No way. Every year this rumour comes up but I still worry in case it happens.

Why do people keep on posting that we can or should be in for Rhodes? We had our chance last year and blew it. It's a sideways move for him now and we are not going to pay 2x whatever we offered (7m?) for him. Please move on with your lives and get over it.

I'm not sure all of your statement is completely factual. So if people think we should sign Rhodes, there certainly entitled to that opinion.

Why, he's 24 and still has lots of years ahead of him. You shouldn't just give up on a player because you have been knocked back last year.

Blackburn have their own financial issues and are still paying high wages and the parachute payments will be stopping soon. I would say the time is right to go back with a decent bid for a player who has scored 51 goals in 89 league games.

I was getting the impression in the last few games that he was beginning to come into his own within the team and PL. I'm in agreement that it would be a shame to see him go. I think he could become at least a good/versatile squad defender for us, if not a starter in the Championship.

I'm also hopeful that we can convince Heitinga to stay with us. Closest approximation we've had to Hughes role in the defense.

If Amorebieta stays then I would like to see him in the defensive midfielder role. He seems to me like David Luiz, not disciplined enough to keep shape and mark his man but good at anticipating trouble and a decent or better passer of the ball.

Fernando Amorebieta is said to be weighing up his options after learning that clubs in Germany and Russia are interested in him.

The Venezuelan defender only made the move to Craven Cottage last summer when his contract with Athletic Bilbao expired but he has struggled in his first season in England.
The 29-year-old was part of a Fulham defence which conceded more goals than any other team in the Premier League and was subsequently relegated.
While Amorebieta is said to have settled in London he is considering his options as he will now have to take a pay cut due to the Whites' drop into the Championship.
According to reports in Spain, Zenit St Petersburg and an unnamed German side have offered the South American the chance to move on, while there are clubs in La Liga who would be eager to sign him.
Amorebieta has two years left to run on his current contract and Fulham could expect to get a reasonable sum for the defender if they do decide to let him go.

Personally think that the 'Official Silly Season Transfer Thread' is a good idea. What is the point of posting that you dislike it. If you dislike it, simple ... scroll on.
Take whichever with a pinch of salt - but good fun for many.
The only two 'incumbent' rumours of any note are Lansbury & Jerome. A firm yes & no from me - but are these the footballers that Magath would choose? Strongly doubt it,

Chris David admits there have been discussions between FC Twente and Fulham over a possible move
More on the Chris David story. - Viva El Fulham

After an incredibly disappointing season, one of the few positives was the opportunity for some of the younger players to make more appearances for the 1st team. After watching Chris David on various occasions for the U21's, he was one the players I was looking forward to see if they could step to be a 1st team regular.


After Kakaniclic had to come off injured after 30 minutes against Crystal Palace, Chris David took the opportunity to show what he could do with both hands. He was causing the Palace midfield and defence big problems all game and he topped this off with a fantastic strike in the last minute of the match.


The disappointing news this morning from Dutch publication Voetbal International, is that he admits conversations have taken place between Fulham and FC Twente over his possible transfer. David joined Fulham in January 2013 and was no doubt hoping to have made more 1st team appearances by now, even if on loan. Players of this age should be getting regular games at a competitive level, not sitting on the bench or playing U21 games.


David obviously feels similar although hasn't said he wants to leave Fulham but that "The important thing is that I'm going to play a lot of minutes next season. If that's going to happen at Fulham good, but otherwise, I will look further."


He continued "There is contact between the clubs, but I'll wait to hear from my agent or intermediary as to what comes out. I'll keep all options open. Twente is a beautiful club and I know the trainers very well and I have a lot of friends and family members in the region".


All of these comments seem very fair to me but a player of Davids talent should flourish in the Championship and the club would be crazy to let him leave without giving him regular playing time next season.


Come on Fulham, if anything good is to come from this relegation, it should be the giving the likes of Chris David and our other younger players, a platform to succeed in the 1st team.

Fulham scout link boosts Finnish swoop chances

Fulham have targeted Ajax central defender Niklas Moisander to help them back into the Premier League.

The 28-year-old Finland international has been identified by Felix Magath and his staff as the man to shore up the Cottagers defence next season after helping Ajax to the Dutch title. Moisander joined Ajax for £2.5million in July 2012 after four seasons with AZ Alkmaar but could be available again as his club are looking to bring through a younger central defender in Stefano Denswil. He signed a three-year deal on his arrival in Amsterdam and, with only one year left on his contract, is in a strong position to dictate his next destination. Whether he would opt to play in the Championship with Fulham next season remains to be seen or whether he would prove to be an astute capture at under 6ft tall. Moisander is good friends with Finnish teammate Tim Sparv - whose father scouts for Fulham in Europe. The central defender started in Finland's 2-2 friendly international draw with the Czech Republic on Wednesday night in Helsinki but came off at half-time.

Fulham have targeted Ajax central defender Niklas Moisander to help them back into the Premier League.

The 28-year-old Finland international has been identified by Felix Magath and his staff as the man to shore up the Cottagers defence next season after helping Ajax to the Dutch title. Moisander joined Ajax for £2.5million in July 2012 after four seasons with AZ Alkmaar but could be available again as his club are looking to bring through a younger central defender in Stefano Denswil. He signed a three-year deal on his arrival in Amsterdam and, with only one year left on his contract, is in a strong position to dictate his next destination. Whether he would opt to play in the Championship with Fulham next season remains to be seen or whether he would prove to be an astute capture at under 6ft tall. Moisander is good friends with Finnish teammate Tim Sparv - whose father scouts for Fulham in Europe. The central defender started in Finland's 2-2 friendly international draw with the Czech Republic on Wednesday night in Helsinki but came off at half-time.

I know nothing about Niklas Moisander.   If Felix is bringing him in then where does that leave Brede and Burn?

Burn could play right wing or in goal the week after, who knows. Crazy formations so don't expect players to actually play where they've played for the majority of their career.

Moisander is a pretty good CB, especially his build up play.  He would deffo be a voor signing for us. The only problem is his height and the fact that he plays Champions League football.

Many players dropped a division when we were in the Championship last time, purely due to wages, but also the possibility of us becominh a big club. Maybe the temptation is there again, well, the money anyway..

I think the real question is, where does this leave Brede'

Think what people need to remember is there are going to be a lot of games next year in the Championship, and fingers crossed a cup run we will need depth in the squard and with Bredes back waiting to play up at any time I think its sensible to have some experience centre backs especailly the way we leaked goals last season

Tall centre backs are not always the best. When Richard Money played for us he didn't do a bad job. So timing is everything and a better balanced centre half would be good.

That, is the cold hard truth and the outcome of a really pathetic season in the Premiership. Yes, we are now referred to as the like of Charlton and Millwall, unfortunately. Hence the reason why I couldn't even give a damn about what Stoke were doing next season as they are not even in our league.

The striker who pledged his international allegiance to the Republic of Ireland will start pre-season training in a few weeks after being ruled out since February with a knee injury.

Cracking another with a knee problem. Can we just sign someone who not coming back from an injury

Sounds like a rerun of the last two seasons -- once great players now too slow to play in England and on large wages = season long loan to Fulham or one year contract.

Oh, and I doubt that even QPR can match what the MLS will be willing to pay Lampard. I think the smart money is on his coming over here. I'll be stocking up on air freshener just in case.

Indeed, solid signings too. Think they must have accepted their fate long before the season ended really.

As another poster put it I think they are doing a "Spurs" signing players now while they have "no" cash before they get labelled as rich from the sales I expect of Caulker, Medel, Marshall and potentially Campbell. Would expect at least 5-7m for the first 3 and 2-3m for Campbell.

Sorry to disappoint his many fans here, but he has already signed a year deal with Monaco after being voted their player of the year. He would love to be joining us in Burnley next year but unfortunately the breaks went against him and he will have to be content with Champions League football and life on the Cote d'Azur.

Exactly. My only worry was we'd have to selling at a cut cost price compared to what we bought him for. But turkey and italy look interested and are willing to splash the cash it seems, so it seems he will go down it Fulham history as the most expensive flop we ever had.

Isn't that what we did last summer, signing Stek and Amorebieta and Boateng all very early in the window?  Even Parker was well before the deadline.  It's more important to sign the right players than to sign players right away.

Yes. You are right. We did act earlier in the window last season. I'll qualify my admission with the recollection that I didn't consider either of those except Stek and possibly Parker as any great statement of intent. Something we all tend to forget when times are tough is that continental players often take almost an entire season to acclimate to the league ( I think Amorebieta was just beginning to come into his own a bit in the last few matches ).

What I was referring to (and communicating poorly) is signing players who are talents in our current league who could be assets in the future if we do happen to get promoted. Realistic or not, some examples I was considering were Rhodes, Cresswell, Landsbury, etc.

To me, what would demonstrate our intent to get promoted is flexing our financial muscle within our own league and begin cherrypicking the talent from it.

Isn't that what we did last summer, signing Stek and Amorebieta and Boateng all very early in the window?  Even Parker was well before the deadline.  It's more important to sign the right players than to sign players right away.

Yes. You are right. We did act earlier in the window last season. I'll qualify my admission with the recollection that I didn't consider either of those except Stek and possibly Parker as any great statement of intent. Something we all tend to forget when times are tough is that continental players often take almost an entire season to acclimate to the league ( I think Amorebieta was just beginning to come into his own a bit in the last few matches ).

What I was referring to (and communicating poorly) is signing players who are talents in our current league who could be assets in the future if we do happen to get promoted. Realistic or not, some examples I was considering were Rhodes, Cresswell, Landsbury, etc.

To me, what would demonstrate our intent to get promoted is flexing our financial muscle within our own league and begin cherrypicking the talent from it.
I agree with most of what you said, but I think "statements of intent" are a worthless media construction.  Signing the right players for a team's budget and needs is so much more important than making a splash to attract media attention and placate supporters anxious to see the team improve.

Isn't it the case that Magath likes to bring in his own team to clubs he managers? Seems to favour giving youngsters a chance - but how canny is he in bringing players in - especially for a Championship side? Guess just a case of wait and see for the moment.

The phrase is overused and can certainly be meaningless. Like I tried saying, I just want the club signing successful players - from our league - with potential of further growth and I want them signing those players into positions of need. LB and Cresswell is an easy example, though that doesn't necessarily make him the only candidate. A signing like that would be a "statement of intent" for me - risking little while signing a player who can continue improving.

Our somewhat intemperate friend may not be far from the mark.

It seems that the New York City FC may be clad in some combination of light blue, dark blue and orange.
More alarmingly they seem to be owned jointly by Manchester City and the New York Yankees. I suppose it would be possible to imagine a more ungodly partnership but I don't think the Taliban is interested in football and the Gestapo is, hopefully, defunct.

From Loe's stats on whoscored.com, he looks to be a defense-first player more so than a box-to-box Sidwell type.  He's one of the alternates to Cameroon's World Cup squad.

I quite like Orlandi having watched him at Brighton. Good set pieces and would add creativity, but I'm not sure he's the level we need to come straight back up. Nor the age. Would be a reluctant no from me, he's essentially a less good Ruiz, but does play well at this level. I think we need players who will be able to step up to the PL as well.

It all depends where we as a club are going. If we are looking to keep players like Trotta then we are not really hoping for a quick return to the Prem but hoping that a player that is no longer a kid will be good enough to do well at Fulham. He hasn't been considered good enough up to now so why keep him?

He played in less than half their games and when I watched one their home games in which he appeared last season he looked OK The player that stood head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch was Linguard who they had on loan from Utd. Lewis Dunk looked a solid marauding defender, interesting to see how he fares against us. Orlandi was often injured which is why I suspect they let him walk away.

We are probably looking too, maybe but unlikely we have signed someone or more than one and will announce them all on the 1st ;)

"Sky Sports sources understand Norwich City are the latest club to show an interest in Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban. Cardiff City have already met Grabban's release clause, and Middlesbrough have held talks, while fellow Championship clubs Nottingham Forest, Derby, Fulham and Wigan are also thought to be monitoring the situation."

Norwich sign Bournemouth's Lewis Grabban for an undisclosed fee. Cardiff had met the release clause but I'm guessing chose against signing Grabban after getting Adam Le Fondre. Grabban grabbed 22 goals for Bournemouth last year.

Nut's isn't it. They've already offered Green whose god knows how old and Clint Hill new contracts and they want Lampard and Ferdinand to push them closer to an average age of 40. Straight back down if they carry on.

OK, but that doesn't prove anything other than that he's vacationing in the Greek islands after a long season.  And if he's on a beach in Mykonos with Petric (per the hashtags on the Facebook picture) then he's not in Athens signing a contract with Olympiacos.  Not saying it won't eventually happen (and if he's buddies with Petric and Petric is happy playing for Panathinaikos then that might help convince him that moving to Greece would be good as well), just that the Twitter rumors we've seen so far seem to be fairly meaningless.

Cardiff are a different animal to us. We had a poor team and good youngsters coming through. Most of our poor team has gone already and more will follow. Our current squad is on par with theirs at the moment even after all our departures and we will make 5 or 6 signings of better standard than they have.

Cardiff are different because they were a poor team who will lose their 4/5 decent key players and be lumbered with the rest. Marshall caulker medel mutch and campbell will leave, bellamy retired and the signings they are making suggests they wont spend any money. We are in a better position than they are, its norwich i feel are the one to watch.

The difference is cardiff have 5 players good enough for the prem and without them they are awful.

We have lost virtually every player we wanted to lose already and will rebuild.

Norwich dont have any real quality players to lose. Maybe one or two but the squad they are left with is better than cardiffs. Basically norwich have the least rebuilding to do so they are in the best position at the moment although im very unsure about their manager.

Im excited about our potential project but if i was a cardiff fan i would.be very underwhelmed by their signings so far

Just read on twitter that Fulham are in talks with Newcastle Jets forward Adam Taggart. He's only 21 and has 21 goals in 44 apps with the jets. Not sure if there is any truth in the rumor or not.

Was going to suggest this but thought maybe I would be showing a little too much patriotism.  Was the A Leagues top scorer last season.  Has progressed remarkably and would be a cheapish signing....unless he comes off the bench tonight to score a brace vs Netherlands.....yeah I can dream.

Little different scoring goals at that level than in the Championship. Can't see it being true if we've got the likes of Woodrow and Dembele' waiting to step up.

Its not that much different at all really.  The league is rapidly improving.

Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has been offered to Sevilla for next season, according to reports in the Spanish press. The Dutchman could be available on a free transfer following Fulham's relegation from the Premier League and Sevilla are known to be keen on signing a new keeper

Fox sports don't usually make up rumours, they called the Villa and Duff signings before they happened. This would be a good signing, he's a selfish striker who can finish. He's the next best striker Australia has at the moment behind Tim Cahill. Hard to say how he will go in Europe as its a big step from A league. However the advantage of the A League is its very physical as most aussie sports are, so hopefully he would suit the championship.

Free transfer? We'd have to be really desperate to get shot of him and/or his wage packet to be touting around as a freebie. He's got three years left on his contract. I know he hardly covered himself in glory last season. But he was first choice for Holland not long ago and must be worth some of the £5m odd we paid for him.

I can see what the club are trying to do, they are trying to build a base of players around the 21/25 year old bracket, players that will naturally hang around the first team, and hopefully break through, if not, they are then sold. This is something we've failed to do for a while, more so over the last 3-4 years, and that gap from players like Demebele' and Woodrow, up to say the likes of Hangerland was really noticeable. I wouldn't worry about these type of players replacing the likes of say the MacCormaks, these type of players will still naturally be brought in, but it's important for us to build a balanced 'squad'.

Taggart deal is said to be close. Medical already done out in Brazil. The deal is worth less than a couple of hundred thousand so I think we can see that this is no replacement for a striker we will have to bring in who will be a definite starter.

Fair enough. I'd rather Joronen or an experienced oldie (like Zuberbhuler a few years back) competing for the no2 slot. But if the scouts know more than me about this young lad (which is likely, as I know zilch!) then he could be a good pickup.

Bring this lad in and get Bettinelli out on loan, developing further to become number one. Not sitting on the bench for years until he gets a shot like Stockdale - I think that has stumped his growth.

I think you hit the nail on the head, we need 4 goalie's, one for the U21's, 2 for first team but we need to develop a keeperto become No 1 which means going out on loan.

GK for the (disastrous) England team in the U20 World Cup last summer.  Spent the second half of this past season on loan at Doncaster Rovers in the Championship and played well (according to the ratings on Whoscored.com, which calls him man of the match in 4 of the 18 matches he played for them), but couldn't keep them from relegation.  Not sure how it makes any sense to take him on loan, if that's actually what's happening, but an interesting prospect if it's a permanent signing.

This information really isn't that hard to find, but I suppose just typing "Who?!" is even less effort.

That's disappointing.

Funny how he trumpeted on about being too good to be loaned to lesser teams (saying: "would Zlatan go to lesser teams?"), but now goes to Alkmaar?? I hope he realises he's not Ibrahimovic, but could be a decent player if he improves his attitude.

Without being pessimistic being linked with a young Australian (who to be honest barring one burst of speed against Chile (i think it was) hasn't impressed me that much at all) and another Aussie who seems to move clubs as often as I change my socks inst inspiring me at all. Admittedly barring the WC i have not seen much of these guys but surely we need to be getting some solid players in with Championship experience or if we a lucky some prem experience who doesn't mind a season (I can hope) in the championship.

They will not respond to any speculation and will only announce when something has been agreed.
I can only hope that's true, because at the moment, even with no one else leaving, we are 4/5 players short.

Seems we're being linked with if and maybe kinds of players who aren't necessarily guaranteed of being a success. I know all players aren't but I don't think now is the time for low investment risks.
I wonder if the plan is partly get a handful of senior established players to go straight into team.
And then sign a good few cheap ones and hope one or two turn out good. The old throw a load of mud at the wall and hope some of it sticks plan.

Khan & Mackintosh have some serious work to do before the 9th August. Perhaps we will have to get the first few games postponed as we may not have 11 players able to start the games.
Title: Re: The Official Silly Season 2014/15 Transfer Thread
Post by: FPT on June 24, 2014, 01:15:04 PM
We're not going to replace every player that's gone out though... We had way too big a squad last year, and need that opportunity for a young player to step in for a couple of games if someone is injured/suspended.

It's quite difficult to sum up (barring the obvious lack at left back and central midfield) what we "need" to do. Shahid Khan said "It's trying to fix a place whilst it's still flying" and that's how it must feel.

However, so far, I'm impressed. We've brought in two young players in Taggart and Hutchinson to make up some squad numbers; in Hutchinson's case, more likely to start, very experienced at such a young age. As well as that, we've pretty heavily targeted a proven goalscorer at Championship level, whilst also not bowing down and kissing the bottom of a certain Italian chairman.

Volz is all of two months older than Riether.  On the other hand, he's spent the last three years playing sparingly in the 2.Bundesliga.

English Premiership side Fulham is set to sign Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric, daily newspaper Novi List reports.

The club from London is allegedly ready to pay 7 million Euro for the player at Rijeka FC.

Andrej Kramaric arrived last year at Rijeka from Dinamo Zagreb.

Andrej Kramaric arrived last year at Rijeka from Dinamo Zagreb.
Turned 23 just a few days ago.  Second highest scorer in the top Croatian league last year.  Perhaps notably, given our history of up futility against lower tier teams, scored 8 goals in a first-round cup match against a third-tier team.  (Also scored two goals in the cup semifinal; his team went on to Croatian Cup although he did not score again in the final.)  Not called up to the senior Croatia team yet, but 4 goals in 8 appearances for the Croatia U21 team.  

My take: seems like an interesting prospect if you're into players who have had success in weaker leagues and might be able to make the jump to a higher level, but 7 million Euros seems like a lot.

Here's a highlights package. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbS1Ajkp3Jo)

Edit to add: from watching the video, he doesn't seem to be much of an aerial threat (there are three headed goals in the mix, but with no defenders near him on any of them), but dribbles well in tight space and scores and sets chances up with both feet.  The back-heeled goal at around 4:18 is pretty neat.

From his Wiki page:

Style of play

Kramarić has been described as versatile striker who is mobile enough to run behind defences and rather than waiting for crosses or ball to come to him, tends to run towards the ball, engulfing his opposition with an air of unpredictability about his play. Although naturally a lone striker his versatility makes him able to play well as winger or second striker.

I expect a few signings but not as many as the outgoings as surely Roberts, G Williams, Donnelly,  Dembele can be promoted to the 1st team along with the likes of Christensen & David from the U21s

Going to be a very exciting few weeks for us transfer wise.

Riether, Dejagah, Ruiz, Mitroglou will surely be on there way.

I expect a few signings but not as many as the outgoings as surely Roberts, G Williams, Donnelly,  Dembele can be promoted to the 1st team along with the likes of Christensen & David from the U21s

Riether is on his way to SC Freiburg ... Sounds like a done deal over here in Germany !!!

bit of background :

Shortly put, because he didn't want to sign a contract with Dinamo president Mamić that owned (eventually still does) most Dinamo star players. He can't "own" them directly nowdays but he has his ways via other people. So he was treated badly, was sent on loans where he always managed to prove himself but was still not counted on seriously. Then he was sold to Rijeka and was league player of the season in his debut year for them.

fear not, those kids have excelled at every level they have played at.whether it be williams against holland, roberts for the all conquering england youths or the others in there cameos for us, they have all done well. i really dont see what else they can do to warrant first team squad status. we are happy to get excited about spending over 5 mil on a kid playing in croatian leagues but have doubts about playing our successful kids. not for me, and i would have thrown them in even if we had of stayed up.

+1

He seems to be an absolute goal machine! Plus, at 23, there's a real opportunity to get an increase in value.

I know Khan has said "sustainability is on hold" but, with the young signings we're making, a return on investment is pretty likely. So refreshing from the ageing "names" we've been picking up in recent years.

Kramarić does not look like the kind of player that a club in our situation could hope to get hold of.

He's had quite a puzzling career to date. Everybody seems to have loved him...apart from Dinamo Zagreb, the team he played for ever since he could walk.

Looks like thats the end of McCormack then, he pledges future to Leeds;

Earlier this month we ran a couple of articles that covered Fulham`s apparent interest in the Leeds United forward, Ross McCormack.

We mentioned that Fulham had, apparently, offered £7 million for the player but had been gazumped by a £9 million offer from Cardiff City.

At the time we assumed that would be the end of the matter and that the Welsh club would get their player.

However, it appears that the 27 year-old Scottish international who scored 29 goals last season has decided that Yorkshire really is the place for him and has decided that he will stay with Leeds United pledging his future to them.

Some you win and some you lose I guess!

According to a couple of journo's on twitter that's not true, in fact he came out and said the opposite. Don't think we'll get him though, Prem teams are interested.

When you're one of the better players in the Premier League at your position at 18, £30M is, I suppose, a reasonable price tag (albeit obviously an absurd amount of money in any real-world sense).  None of our kids have (at this point) anything close to the combination of youth and proven success at high level to fetch anything close to that.

According to a tweet by prominent Bulgarian journo, we've signed young (17) CB Stefan Velkov from Bulgarian side Slavia Sofia. He's been described as a "bulgarian wonder kid"...

The randomness of the signing - to me at least - suggests it could be true. Also, apparently his dad has confirmed the transfer.

Supposedly CSKA Moscow, Zenit, and Manchester Utd are after him too, so would be quite a capture.

So not one for the first team?

I don't know; he's 6'4'', plays on the right-side of defence (an area we're short in), has been playing first team football for the season, has been linked to bigger clubs than us, and the video I linked shows a player good in the air, confident to make a tackle, decent passing range, ability to read the game (I know, I know; youtube isn't a great indicator of ability nor a substitute for actual scouting).

On the other hand, he's only just 17 (birthday was yesterday), has only got experience in the Bulgarian League (his home country), and is probably a couple of years away from being a proper choice..

So, on balance, yeah, you're probably right. He'll be sent to the youth setup and in 4 weeks we're only going to have 6 players!

It's a mistake, someone doesn't know what they're doing; they'd have been a big hooray about this especially if it was our first signing. I mean, it's got Larnell Cole going out on loan to MK Dons which was like Feb.

Looked on the Ipswich fan forum and they weren't too bothered about him leaving as long as they got at least 4m. They said he was pretty average for a lot of the season and that a lot of clubs would over value him because of his crossing stat and the fact that he managed to get in the team of the year. I know I sound like im contracting myself with that last point but they weren't too bothered.

Read a report linking us with FC Koln midfielder Adil Chihi. (have to scroll down a bit to read about Chihi)

Also, read on twitter that Hangeland might be heading to FC Copenhagen. Someone saw him on a flight there with his gear bag.

The article's a bit wrong about Chihi, he's out of contract so obviously we won't be getting him on loan.

Ya, I saw that but you would think Hangeland wouldn't want to play in the Championship. Would be kind of odd playing against Hangeland.

Just read a piece about Chihi actually. He came through as a huge talent at a young age and was seen as Podolski's successor. He initially did well, but along came the injuries he has been plagued by ever since. As soon as he's been able to play and train fairly regularly he got injued again.

But I guess it says something about his abality that Köln has kept him for this long despite his injury hell.

Is the team staying in Scotland this week in between the friendly at East Fife and the one at Motherwell this coming Saturday?  If so, is it possible that this impedes the process of getting transfers finalized?

All transfers are done at MP. I don´t think MacTight would have gone up to his homeland. He would have been told to look after the petty cash box in case there are any transfers that need to be paid.

Sorry if it was a stupid question - I don't really have any idea what standard practice is in situations like this.  I mean, I know it's a foreign country (sort of), but it's not like they're in Costa Rica; it's barely more than an hour flight from Edinburgh back to London, so it seems feasible that they could have traveled back yesterday and trained at MP all this week if they wanted.

But yeah, that hotel looks pretty nice.

the fact you say it surprises you fans do not know who the players are, the ones i could not name are u21's or youth players form what i can tell,  i could pick out 4 youth players (by that I mean u21 and below) i reckon and those would be the ones who played last season.

On paper, one of our best summers so far. Got rid of almost everyone we needed too and signed some great players with a month to go. Very excited at the moment.

Few more players and we will be in for a good season!

Cant get more solid than the player himself uploading a picture.

If this guy can stay fit he'll be a fantastic signing from what I've seen. Good to see we're getting our business done early.

The Daily Star reporting........Fulham are lining up a £3m move for Sheffield United defender Harry Maguire.

He was very good when we played them, although if we were going for another CB I would have thought he would have more experience

Actually, some of us do watch games from other leagues around the world and have seen him play. For 20 years old he is a very mature, energetic, and skillful player. Then again, nothing will ever appease you it seems so what's the bother in pointing it out.

He would be a great signing - I've been banging on about him for ages. But, supposedly, Sheffield only want £2m for him, so where's the extra £1m come from?? Nonetheless, £3m for a young, English, right-footed CB - we'd be crazy not to go for him.

Maguire's experience at his age is amazing and he definitely sounds a talent, but with Burn, Amore, Hutch, I think one of Voser and Hoogland can play there, and the likes of Grimmer and Donelly coming through, do we need him? It is a long season though and I don't really know the make-up of a championship squad.

I understand your point.

However, an injury (or lack of ability) from Hutchinson, leaves us with just two recognised (first team experience) centre backs (in Burn and Amore) who are both strongly left-footed. Grimmer or Donnely may be able to be backup to RCB, but Grimmer was used as an RB whilst on loan (so may be better suited out there), and Donnely - whilst very impressive at youth level - is a completely unknown quantity in the adult game, and may benefit from a year on loan. Hoog and Voser are both full-backs and probably wouldn't be cover for CB.

Ideally I'd like us to get Maguire but if £3m is all we have left, you're right, we do have *some* cover along the back line, and a CM is what I think we need more urgently.

Hoogland has played centre back in his career but Voser is a short and pacey full back, I doubt he'd do well in the centre.

According to Transfermarkt, both players have played LB, RB, LM, and RM in the past 3 years. Hoog has also played CM and DM in that period. Neither have been deployed at CB.

But, if Burn can play RB, who knows where anyone will be used!

I'm not sure how many of the 8 matches he played for the Leverkusen's first team last season that you watched, or the one match that he played the season before, and I didn't realize PAOK was regularly featured on television ANYWHERE, but sure ... lots of people have plenty of evidence to show that he'll be our top player at that position this coming season.

I really must spend more time on Youtube and learn to play FIFA computer games. My education is sadly incomplete.

Um PAOK aren't on tv anywhere? Not quite right. Greek Superleague is easily streamable online, and there are some channels in Europe where you can watch it. Highly possible for someone to have watched all his performances and form an opinion.

Others have said the same about a new CB. I was wondering why? I don't think the players we have are going to be good enough at CB. The players brought in at CB so far, are they really good enough?

Yes, he was #3 on Iran during the World Cup and is a very well rounded player. Fast, technical, and strong with good vision, shooting, and a great work ethic. He is only 24 years-old and can play as an attacking-minded left-back, playmaker, or left-winger. Would be a solid signing to replace Richardson but I think he will end up in Hull.

Apart from the fact he's more likely to get game-time with us. Too many young englishmen rot on the benches of premier league teams..

If he's smart, he'll negotiate a "premier league" get-out clause that'll be triggered if we fail to achieve promotion and another premier league team comes in.

Still, as you say, getting another premier league target to join us in favour of a "bigger" team would be quite a coup.

What does he have to lose... we are without doubt a bigger and better team than Hull. They are also probably going to be tipped as relegation candidates.  We just had a shockingly bad season when we changed owners.
He would play every week, further his career and be in the Premier league within a year.

Hull won't get relegated this year, there are to many poor teams in the Premiership. Plus, under Bruce, he's added a good few additions and made them very hard to beat. If anything, Hull would be a good for Maguire, he may just chose us over them simply for playing time.

Bruce would also be a good role model for a young centre back.  We also have an absolute TRUCKLOAD of young centre backs, so it'd be interesting how he felt about facing more players his age for the same roles.

We are definitely a bigger club than hull but leeds are an even bigger club than us, that never stopped mcormack. Prem football will be a big factor but he may still decide we are the better suited option for him

great point about bruce, look at what hes done with curtis davies. Also europa league games until xmas I would imagine. And that europa league may make their prem survival very edgy but bruce has done well with his signings so far so who knows.

My guess is he will sign for us on tuesday

What does he have to lose... we are without doubt a bigger and better team than Hull. They are also probably going to be tipped as relegation candidates.  We just had a shockingly bad season when we changed owners.
He would play every week, further his career and be in the Premier league within a year.





Hull won't get relegated this year, there are to many poor teams in the Premiership. Plus, under Bruce, he's added a good few additions and made them very hard to beat. If anything, Hull would be a good for Maguire, he may just chose us over them simply for playing time.

We are definitely a bigger club than hull but leeds are an even bigger club than us, that never stopped mcormack. Prem football will be a big factor but he may still decide we are the better suited option for him

great point about bruce, look at what hes done with curtis davies. Also europa league games until xmas I would imagine. And that europa league may make their prem survival very edgy but bruce has done well with his signings so far so who knows.

My guess is he will sign for us on tuesday

In what way are we "definitely" a bigger club than Hull? Almost identically sized ground, both haven't really won anything in our history. We may gave spent longer in the PL recently, but they're the team there right now. I'd be wary of calling ourselves a "bigger club". Don't want to start going down the Leeds route of thinking we're better than we are. I'd say we're about level-pegging with them all things considered.

So leeds arent bigger than hull then? Of course we are, more years in the top flight, more established/big name players over our history, a european final which only 16 other english clubs have achieved. Same size ground and fanbase. Hull have nothing that can be bettered, apart.from they are in the prem and were not. What about the 10 years out of 13 we were and they werent. Stoke however would be more of a debate but not hull.

Danny, you risk sounding like the delusional Leeds fans; dining off former glories.

Currently, Hull are in the Premier League, we and Leeds are in the one below.

Talking about "bigger" ends up being heavily subjective. I get your point, but not sure it's as clear-cut as you think... Just my two cents, though!

If you look at history, Burnley and Preston are arguably bigger clubs than Leeds, Hull and ourselves.

BUt as craven says its subjective. tight now there are 20 clubs (all in the prem) bigger than us and able to attract players that maybe we cannot.

Okay so I was just trying to make a point  that it would be more attractive to come to FFC than go to Hull.
I do think Hull will struggle this year and its more appealing to win a few rather than get battered each week.
We are on paper a bigger team than them, but yes other teams around or below us could be classed as bigger. No illusions from me on that.

Isn't it every players ambition to play in the Premiership? I'm sure thats also McCormacks ambition, but it's how you get there that counts. How many times have we seen players of a young age take the jump to soon, and then fall flat on their faces? Maguire may see Fulham as a platform to the Premiership, or the next best thing, so I'd say we are definitely in the mix for him.

Yeah agreed ideally a left footed winger who can cross. If we are going to play two up top I'd like to see us getting to the byline and whipping some balls in.

Ball playing midfielder with an eye for a pass to share the load with David would be the other priority

I had the pleasure of watching a lot of Burn when he was on loan at my local club yeovil and was very impressed by him. Think he deserves a shot this year and wouldn't want another centre back pushing him further down the order. Burn Hutchinson amor and Grimmer would do me just fine

Maguire dropped the biggest hint by saying he'd love to test himself in the Premiership and the Europa League, which doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that's Hull. However, I was leaked information that a deal for Maguire would be completed this Tuesday, which has now passed. Having turned our interest to the Yank, tells we've been snubbed by Maguire, and are looking else where.

What CBs do we have now?

Hutchinson, Burn, Amorebieta, Burgess? I feel like I'm missing someone but if not, we could do with another one as Burgess won't be ready. Amore can also cover at LB I suppose.

None of the above, yes I know some don't agree, but none of these IMHO will be good enough for a promotion chasing season in the Championship.

Really, non of them?

Personally I have every confidence that Burn is up to the task, and would be disappointed if he's not a regular.
Hutchinson can be hit and miss, but a top defender in SPL shouldn't be too out of place in the Championship?
Amore might still do a Coloccini and actually come good after a year of settling in and poor performances, but I don't hold my breath on that one.  However, if we're going to play 3 (or 5) at the back I think he would be great on the left side of centre back.
Based on age, maturity and experience on loan, Grimmer should be ready for a 3/4 choice role.

So yeah, we could do with a first choice centre back and possibly sell Amore, but I wouldn't be disappointed if we start the season with Hutch-Burn and have Grimmer-Amore as backup.

Rio Ferdinand has apparently passed a medical at QPR.  Could be a disaster, could be a fantastic signing for them.

That's an interesting point you make as allegedly since then 5/6 other players have missed their test and never been punished. They never found anything in his sample, so you could say that's because he missed the test but it would be speculation i guess. Either way missed test aside Rio did a fantastic job for his clubs and his country, he should of been at the last Euros but the FA's obsession with John Terry stopped that.

My mum works in a primary school in the peckham/camberwell area which is where rio is from. He refused to visit the school as a local role model to encourage kids to believe they can achieve anything. He refused because the school couldnt pay him the 1000's he demanded, this was a few years back when gilberto silva played for arsenal.

I say that because the same year as rio's ignorance, gilberto visited the school and rather than take a fee, he gave all the kids a goody bag of arsenal bits and bobs with a signed card each and asked for a small donation to his charity. Rio is an arrogant mug who isnt a good role model, the only big name england star of that generation who was a role model is beckham and possibly gary neville.  The others for one reason or another have been twats during their careers.

Rio will be like berbatov for us, a whale in a bath doesnt work let alone big fish in a small pond. He could single handedly destroy any team spirit they have, imagine if he is awful for the first 8 games, would harry dare drop his mate? It really stinks of a jol/berba scenario.

And in my opinion rio was no longer good enough for england and was rightfully not picked. The situation with terry was a joke from both players and neither deserved to play, I cant believe they were both england captains!!!!! Evra will probably leave united because its time to be replaced but has the likes of juventus in for him whilst rio has gone to qpr. Talk about fall from grace, you've gotta ask yourself why no one else wanted an old injury plagued money grabbing p****.

Berba was the worst signing we ever made because of how jol allowed him to destroy the team, hopefully rio does the same to them

Agree with your points about role models; speaking of which, Gilberto Silva is now one of mine.

It doesnt seem like hes learned anything. I dont see what different from signing bosingwa and park to signing rio. Yes rio's a big name but bosingwa signed on the back of winning the champions league. They just seem desperate to sign the name rather than the player. They dont appear to know what a scout is

That's interesting Danny, I saw him at 3 charity functions inside 6 months back in 2010, and on the 3rd he smiled and said we seem to be in the same circles, which was a joke as I was there with work. Anyway we were chatting and I mentioned I coached a local kids team in my area and that we had a charity ball with auction every October. I was angling for a signed shirt or something when He said and I quote thats great, tell you what I will give a box at Old Trafford and meet the box guests after the game, gave me an email address and said email him in September and he would sort it all out. September came round, I emailed thinking I would hear nothing back, with in a week, a reply saying a box for a game the following February (think it was a villa game) with full hospitality. I didn't bid on the prize as could not make it but the guy who won it said he was amazing, came to the box after the game with Fletcher and Evra, signed autographs and gave them out some merchandise.

Maybe it was just a bad time when he said no to his school or I / the club I coach at just got lucky.

That could be said for anyone famous or not. Two people could meet someone on different days and one day their nice, the other their grumpy. Then two completely different opinions start.

That was nice of him but as nice as it was, i would imagine it didnt cost him anything as he probably owned the box anyway or got it for that day for being a.player. Still.he didnt have to so fair play to him. I think asking a school for 1000's to come in for half hour and chat to the kids is bang out.of order considering it was his local school and would of taken alot more effort.

That aside my opinion of him is judged on his whole career and attitude. Ive never been a huge fan of him as a person or a player. I think he was over rated  and Id have terry over him all day long as a PLAYER. I thought id make that bit clear as terry's a mug too.

Am I allowed to rate terry as a fulham fan or is that against the commandments???

Danny for me you can rate any player you like. Personally i like ball playing centre backs and terry doesnt fit into that as for me he is slow and terrible passing the ball. However he does get more goals than rio. probably a good combination together.

Just replying and will now stick to transfer rumours etc on this thread. Many apologies everyone.

Im getting a bit frustrated at how quiet its gone. Only seem to be linked to that american fella. Ive been waking.up everyday hoping to see us sign someone unrealistic but very exciting like that naismith rumour. I think we need a right sided centre half, a centre midfielder and a winger of top quality for that level. Achieve that and I think we will go up

Post by: FPT on July 18, 2014, 10:29:26 PM
I wouldn't say Fabio Borini is quality, I know he's only 23 but his goal record is really, quite poor. He scored 8 League goals last season, and 3 were from the penalty spot! It's not even just basing it on his goal record, I see very little in his general play that would make me want to pay £7m, let alone £14m!

Anyway, this isn't a "FPT have a moan at players being overrated thread." £14m is a ridiculous sum of money to spend on Borini, I think their Geordie neighbours have had a wonderful transfer window:

Emmanuel Riviere (who I think is next seasons' "dark horse striker" he's a talent) for £6m. Then you add on top:

Remy Cabella for £8m - One of the best Ligue 1 players outside of PSG and Monaco.
Daryl Janmaat for £5m - Decent replacement for Debuchy, has promise too.
Siem De Jong for £7.5m - He'll do well. Consistent goalscorer from attacking midfield. An imposing Ruiz.
Jack Colback for nothing - work horse and consistent.

That's with an expenditure of just about £13m considering they sold Debuchy for £12m, plus a couple more could go, i.e. tubby Ben Arfa.

I wouldn't say Fabio Borini is quality, I know he's only 23 but his goal record is really, quite poor. He scored 8 League goals last season, and 3 were from the penalty spot!

Bear in mind Borini spent most of last season out on the wing. Eight goals really isn't a terrible goal return for someone in that position, especially when you factor in how poorly the team were doing in general for large portions of the campaign.

Has he truly moved? Or, is this wishful thinking on your part?

If true, then we need both a left footed CB and a right footed CB. No one (not Noone) really behind either Hoogland, who is inexperienced in this league, or Burn.

Championship trio Watford, Wigan and Fulham are all chasing Leicester midfielder Andy King, Sky Sports understands.

King is entering the final year of his contract at the King Power Stadium and a number of clubs are thought to be monitoring his situation.

The 25-year-old found himself down the pecking order in Nigel Pearson's starting XI during the second half of last season with Danny Drinkwater and Matty James the preferred central midfield partnership and his suitors are hoping he could be lured away with the prospect of regular first-team football.

The former Chelsea youngster has established himself as one of the best midfielders outside the Premier League in recent seasons and helped Leicester win the Championship title last term.

Watford, Fulham and Wigan are all keen to bring in an attacking midfielder and they see King as someone who could boost their promotions bids next season.

It remains to be seen if Leicester would be willing to cash-in on Wales international King as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.

Andy King would be a very useful signing. Consistently good in the Championship, very good with the ball at his feet and a set piece machine. Also, still only 25 and a Wales international. Would be a very, very wise signing. Wigan have just added Emyr Huws on loan to their squad, so that perhaps puts them out of the running. Scored 15 goals from central midfield about 3 years ago; getting him into the PFA Team of the Year.

As for the Chelsea point, yes, they just buy the best 16-22 year olds that they can and loan them until either A) They're good enough, or B) They give up on them, but by that point, they're 24 and not much better than they were when they were initially signed.

Alternatively maybe it means that the plan is to have three goalkeepers and it depends on the interest shown and the bids made as to who leaves or goes out on loan.

As is often said "Every player has their price" and if there is no interest in Stekelenburg and Brighton meet our price for Stockdale then the club might sell.

Last season they weren't the Stoke of old, and since adding the likes of Diouf and Bojan, it'll only further them from Pulis' Neanderthal ways. They were enjoyable at times last season, but as normal (after so many years of long ball) they would slip into old habits, and into Sparky's second season, we'll see less and less of it.

Just goes to show how far we had fallen in those 3 years.

Couldn't agree more with both posts here. Hughes will do exactly what I'm sure he would've preferred to continue with our club. As it was, he saw what was about to happen with Fulham and, I presume, didn't want to "go down with the ship". We (that includes me) gave him quite a bit of grief for the things he said and did - wrongly so, looking back at it now.

Just a terrible set of circumstances and decisions, ultimately speaking.

Having said all that, I'm more excited about our upcoming season than I have been in quite some time - and most likely I'm not even going to be able to watch a very high % of our games.

I do think had Kahn taken over 2 seasons prior he would have backed Hughes to the hilt, he has his ideas about the premier league and with football looking like it is about to take off on America he is already one step ahead buying us up. I think he will do what ever it takes to get us to the league we belong, I just hope we try to push on once up and not settle for bottom half mediocracy

In fairness, Bojan has fallen pretty far from the days when he was regarded as the next big thing for Barcelona.  4 goals in the Eredivisie last year isn't exactly awe-inspiring.

Agree, when you consider Roma payed €12,000,000 for him for 2 seasons (effectively a loan) and then had to pay an extra €28,000,000 at the end of that period if they wanted him for longer it doesn't look like he progressed at all. In fact if you look at his time at Roma, AC and Ajax it is very poor. But he did and still does have bags of potential.

No shock that I think Rodders deserves a chance. But if he goes we need another replacement. It would leave us very light again. Woodrow and the Aussie are untried and the Greek doesn't look to rely on pace.

Alongside McCormack obviously

Surpised to see the reaction. It's like the Ruiz discussion in the other thread, it seems like things come in waves. I'm find with Roddy going. Like westcliff white said above, support him and I've loved his emotions on the pitch. But he just hasn't been very good during his time here. A fresh start would be good for him.

It also is funny that we go from "WE'VE GOT TOO MANY STRIKERS" to "WE NEED ANOTHER STRIKER" all over the course of one sale.

Best of luck Roddy.

I just don't think he offers us anything that we couldn't find amongst the youngsters. And it would free up a space for the young ones to learn off Ross up top

Derby County's main summer signing George Thorne has been ruled out for up to nine months with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Thorne only joined last week but was hurt in Tuesday's pre-season friendly loss to Zenit St Petersburg in Austria.
The 21-year-old former West Brom player was a transfer target all summer after impressing while on loan last season.

Now confirmed Cardiff City striker Fraizer Campbell has joined Crystal Palace.
The London side triggered the forward's release clause, believed to be around £900,000, along with Premier League rivals Leicester City.
However, Campbell, 26, has decided to join the Eagles and bring to an end an 18-month stint in south Wales.
The fee for the one-time England international, who scored nine goals as Cardiff were relegated last season, could rise to close to £1m.

2 weeks ago I would have been very disappointed as I believe on the wing he would be great in the Championship.

But now I have convinced myself that Feliz will be playing a midfield Diamond with the width provided by the full backs. I like this formation as it means not having 2 in the midfield being overrun all the time as we did last year ( expect for the few games when Rene was on his own and played 3 in the midfield ).

So Dejagah really does not fit this formation . Therefore the cash ( I heard £5 million at one point ) and salary saving make sense .

Dejagah was one of the very, very few of last year's train wreck crew who might have been interesting to have kept hold of. He looked quite useful on one or two occasions.
However, with one year left on contract, it would be unwise to reject an offer in the region of £5m.

In all seriousness, I can't blame him for making this move. He's presumably from humble beginnings and he has a chance to move closer to home and make a bucket of money. More power to him.

Losing Dejageh does leave us light on the wings. I would love to see us bring in a skillful young winger on loan.

Not everybody, footballer or otherwise wants to make yet more money over and above everything else. Some would say, like to play in a top league for a top side and not be forgotten outside of some rich mans wallet.

Certainly not, but I can't fault a player for leaving a championship side to make money that will set him up for life. Lets not forget that he's 28. If he didn't get a call from a top European club after last season and the World Cup then it probably isn't going to happen for him.

Why do some feel the need to poke a player who has done nothing but perform admirably for Fulham and appears to be leaving under amicable circumstances.  Beyond me really.

They've signed Bafetimbi Gomis who we were linked to in better times. They must have plans on keeping Bony as well, pretty formidable with Sigursson in behind them. If they didn't have Garry Monk at the helm I'd tip them for a good season.

Fulham have bid 6.3m for Leeds RB Byram, although interest was shown from Swansea, Liverpool ect. It's Fulham who lead the chase for the defender and have made their intentions clear to Leeds.

The whites are still in talks with the Garanite Xhaka and Nzonzi.

David Stockdale may still stay but Maarten Stekelenberg will leave with Boruc joining as his replacement.

Ashkan Dejagah (now obviously not) & Mitroglou are likely to stay as Ruiz is close to joining Besiktas for 7m.

Dejagah has gone for the money.
As soon as he come out and said he wanted to play for Fulham but not in the championship I was happy to see him go.
He performed well in spurts last season, mainly coming off the bench. He would perform ok(which last season was the best we got) for 15/20 mins. If he started he would vanish on the pitch and didn't have anywhere near the same effect.

Maguire and Byram would be very welcome additions to the team, and probably realistic too.

Maguire has only been proven in L1, and the jump to the prem may be too soon. Byram, despite Championship experience, has gone off the boil slightly; most Leeds' fans still think he shows promise beyond being the talented Champs RB that he already is, but has lost his way slightly in a shoddy team.

French publication L'Equipe are this morning linking Fulham with a move for their 27 year old Senegalese centre back, Lamine Sane.

As well as naming Fulham, they state West Hamas have interest in the centre back who can also play as a defensive midfielder. Sane has made 190 appearances for Bordeaux, scoring 10 goals and is entering the last year of his contract so they may look to receive money now, rather than allow him to leave on a free in a years time. With West Ham being able to offer Premier League football though, and presumably better wages, if they do make an offer, you'd assume he'll opt for them.
- See more at: http://www.vivaelfulham.co.uk/news/fulham-linked-with-lamine-sane-13-444.html#sthash.tZfVQdrI.dpuf (http://www.vivaelfulham.co.uk/news/fulham-linked-with-lamine-sane-13-444.html#sthash.tZfVQdrI.dpuf)


Doubt if he'll go to West Hamas, who'd want to play in Palestine?  :028:

Another no shock comes from the Kostas too Much Greek. He has announced to the Greek Press that he wants to play in the Prem or the German Bundisthingy. But he wants away from Fulham. I doubt anybody will want to touch him now but he seems to be making it clear he wants a move as much as some of us would like to see the back of the sad moment in Fulham's wasted last season in the Prem.

Meanwhile Ruiz has travelled with Fulham to Austria but is unlikely to want a future at Fulham.


He has said in an interview in Spanish that there has been no concrete offers but he would like to play in the top league. He wants to get back to training.

£5million for a guy with only a year left is decent business.  It's a shame cos he can be fantastic, though we saw it too inconsistently over 90 minutes towards the end of last season.  Financially a good move for all concerned.

Very good player but not the consistency we need.

Happy with 5 million if we get a good replacement in with less injury worries. Dejagah clearly thinking about the money but in all honesty I do the same in my line of work so who can blame him, really.

Well if we get £5 million for Dejagah, £6 million for Ruiz, roughly £5 million for Kasami, a small fee for Richardson that will be a decent amount, and if you subtract McCormack's up front fee it should be just under £10 million to invest.
Plenty to get what we need.

Appareny we received nothing for Kasami, his fee paid the balance of the mito deal off. So altho we received nothing we cleared a debt. Richardson. Was around 2 mill I read somewhere

Our summer. They're winter.......well at least for that portion south of the equator. And, for that portion near the equator, it never really matters what the season is so much.....cept for dry and rainy.

He'll only be sold if we've got an adequate, or better replacement coming in. One of either Joronen or Bettinelli will then take a place on the bench.

Definitely is bizarre - first choice keeper for much of second half of last season, and one of the only players in our squad to have played in the Championship previously and therefore has invaluable experience that the rest of the squad could feed off. Couple that with the fact he loves the club and has constantly shown passion and fight while in a white shirt, this transfer really disappoints me. Can't see us getting any more than £1 million for him either, and it will be near impossible to find an equal or better replacement for the same money, in my opinion.

You say that, but if a good replacement did come in, and it was an upgrade on Stockdale, you'd be signing about it from the rooftops. Bottom line is, Stockdale isn't anything special, this is the 3rd manager now that doesn't fancy him, and was only used by Magath because we didn't have any other options. As before, if we can afford to upgrade in this position then we should.

Let's be honest, we all thought Steklenburg was going to be a significant step up from Stockdale but look how that one turned out. Stockdale might not be world class but he's certainly good enough for the Championship, not to mention the fact he loves the club and wants to play for us. There are other positions that need more urgent attention than our goalkeeper. If we had started the season with Stockdale in goal there wouldn't be many people too upset by it. Now it leaves another vacant position with no guarantee any possible replacement will perform any better than Stockdale has done. To me his departure seems unnecessary and bizarre.

What are you talking about? Hoogland, Voser, Stafylidis all have CL football under their belts, so in a real world, Fulham is a step down. There is no reason why we can't go and get a tried and tested keeper from abroad, someone who is after regular football.

Lets not let our hearts rule our heads here.
Stockdale would not let us down for effort but he is not the medium/long term answer.

A good lad who deserves a chance somewhere to play regularly but he is not going to get any better than he is now.

As we are rebuilding the whole squad, apart from his personality there is little to say he is worth sticking with long term.

Van der Sar was also joining a Premier club. He also cost us 7.1 million and that was 13 years ago. So I guess if we are willing to spend a fortune, we can pick and choose who we get to replace Stockdale.

Coming slightly off topic, he joined a club that he thought was going to be the next Manchester United of the South, only to end up joining the real Manchester United a fews years later when things didn't work out. To be fair to VDS, he did sign a 1 year extension so that we at least got some money for him.. My point was, we all jumped on the Maik Taylor love-fest train back then, said he should have a chance, and we wouldn't get much better, but we still managed to replaced him. Back then, we had a Premiership team in the Championship, which won't happen this season, but there are better goalkeepers about than Stockdale.

doesnt have to be long term, just long enough to get us up. we will be able to get a better keeper if we go up, and stockdale has already proved he is good enough for a promotion winning team in this league

Not the greatest of keepers.
In terms of ability I think he is easily replaced however he brings a lot to the team in terms or moral, passion etc.

I think Stockdale is a very decent keeper at this level, and easily one of the best in the league... I would look for a new number 1 if we went up, but this is terrible business all round, even more so if we sell to a promotion rival.

Brighton won't be coming anywhere near promotion challengers this season, not to say that we will either, but I guarantee you'll be one of the first to congratulate the club if we bring in an upgrade. Trust the club, they've been sensible all season, they're hardly going to sell Stockdale without brining in a better option.

I think Hypia could do a job at Brighton, and think they will be close to the playoffs.

You are silly and I must be too.  Very sorry to see Stockdale go.  If rumour is true

I suspect that Burn is also for the door and that is just as disappointing.  But unsurprising if Felix thinks our best CB prospect is best played as a RB, aka Stoke away last season

There is no positive tactic, for playing a 6ft 7 left footed defender ar rb against one of the trickiest wingers in the league.... Sorry JMH FM got it so very wrong.

On a side note I would be dissapointed with Burn leaving, I have called it for a while that he is not FM's first choice, and that is fair enough but he can do a job at this level as he prooved last season.

I missed any tactical explanation jmh.  Whatever it was it did not work and we ended up with Parker there I seem to recall.  Shambolic tactics to start with and substitution to correct it was even worse.  New season so give Felix the benefit of (my) doubt

Burn has hardly featured pre-season though which is why I am speculating he is not one for Felix.  Unless of course anyone can shed any light on his absence

There is no positive tactic, for playing a 6ft 7 left footed defender ar rb against one of the trickiest wingers in the league.... Sorry JMH FM got it so very wrong.
But the point was that the coaching staff expected Crouch to be playing and drifting out to the offensive left a lot, and used Burn there to counteract that specific threat.  They presumably didn't expect Assaidi since he hadn't started a match for three months and had played all of 40 minutes since suffering a serious injury.  Now of course we know it didn't turn out that way and Assaidi tore us a new one, but don't act like it was a completely random idea like Magath just suddenly decided that maybe Burn's best position was right back and the idea was that he should be isolated against Assaidi all the time, because that wasn't the case.  It was a decision based on assumptions that turned out to be incorrect, not a decision without any reasoning behind it.  

Now, personally, I thought the obvious fix was to push Heitinga out to the right and I don't really get why that isn't what happened.

Dejagah officially gone:

http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2014/july/29/dejagahs-qatar-move (http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2014/july/29/dejagahs-qatar-move)

Dejagah's Qatar Move
Tuesday 29 July 2014 15:00

The Club can confirm that Ashkan Dejagah has joined Al-Arabi on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

The winger departs Fulham for Qatar following two years in South-West London, during which time he made 49 appearances and scored six goals – several of which were spectacular efforts in last season's battle against relegation.

Upon Dejagah's departure from the Club, Manager Felix Magath said: "Having spoken with Ashkan, we decided in the best interest of both Fulham and himself, that he would leave the Club. During his time with us, he made some good appearances and scored some memorable goals. However, we decided to part ways. It will always be our policy to have players who are committed to the Club and have a desire to work for the common goal.

"We wish him very much luck for the future at Al-Arabi."

Everyone at Fulham would like to thank Ashkan for his efforts during his time at the Club, and wish him the best throughout his career.

Seems far-fetched.  Sane is going to leave his hometown club, where he's winning trophies (2013 Coupe de France) and qualifying for Europe to play in the second tier in England?  And, for that matter, from the Fulham perspective, we're going to sign a guy who doesn't speak English, barely a week before our season is going to start, after the past month has been spent building chemistry with the guys who are already here?

I wasn't being pedantic, it read like his name was huddlesfield. And I've heard a lot worse names before anyone says anything. Plus this sounds like an underwhelming target, the huddlesfield fans think he is lazy and won't track back. Can't believe we would go to town on a striker and then skimp out on a decent cm. especially when we was a lot weaker there than we was upfront before the window opened

Dean, in all due respect, you lost faith in our manager last season, and before a ball has even been kicked this season, you're on his back, regardless of what ever he does. The guy is no fool, yes he made a couple of mistakes last season, but people need to drop the Magath bashing and give the guy a bloody chance. I'm sure winning the Bundesliga 3 times, the German Cup and saving 4 teams from relegation really doesn't count for anything in your eyes, but again, it'll all come back to playing Dan Burn at right back and selling Stockdale.

Atletico Madrid were after him plus a whole host of other clubs, would say that no chance of him coming whatsoever. Probably West Ham or Palace

Where do these ITK posters get their ideas from?

Another report has:

The player's agent Christophe Vecchioni told La Nouvelle Republique the following:

"There are several foreign clubs that are interested: in England, Belgium, Spain and Germany. There is a lot of interest. Andy has not yet decided but he has another two years of contract with Tours and there is a fee to pay... and until an agreement has been reached between the clubs, I can't discuss a contract with other clubs. Once the fee is agreed, things will move very quickly indeed..."

Atletico Madrid is a big possibility, but Schalke 04, Standard and Anderlecht have not given up. Leeds United are set to have a meeting with Tours shortly and Southampton have been in touch also.

The one thing we have in abundance is strikers.... If we bring in another before a defensive midfielder I will lose more faith in our manager....

Dean, in all due respect, you lost faith in our manager last season, and before a ball has even been kicked this season, you're on his back, regardless of what ever he does. The guy is no fool, yes he made a couple of mistakes last season, but people need to drop the Magath bashing and give the guy a bloody chance. I'm sure winning the Bundesliga 3 times, the German Cup and saving 4 teams from relegation really doesn't count for anything in your eyes, but again, it'll all come back to playing Dan Burn at right back and selling Stockdale.

Please, start giving the guy some bloody credit and wait to see what happens, otherwise I will be forced NOT to buy you a beer next time we meet for being a douche!!


You two meet for a douche? I don't know that I would say that in public.  :033:

Surely no Stockers was the next Gordon Banks reading how highly some people rate him on here, there must have been kryptonite behind the goal, oh and havent Southampton sold all there players don't hold up much hope for Brighton this year.

Team Litex can make their next big move.

According to "24 Hours" Nikolai Bodurov is very close to passing the former team of Dimitar Berbatov Fulham. Currently "Cottagers" compete in the second level of English football Championship once relegated last season. The news was reported by fan site team and argued that the Bulgarians had already joined the training camp of Londoners.

Bodurov expected to sign his contract without going broke. If this happens it will debut on Saturday against Turkish Rizespor

Steve Davis was one of our greatest unsung cock-ups, wasn't he?
Bought by Sanchez in his NI-or-bust phase and then used in a system in which he was totally unsuitable and quickly shipped out. Everytime I have seen him play since, whether for Rangers, Southampton or NIreland he has been either impressive or MoM. Just the sort of player we lacked these last few years, too.

Reports from Bulgaria are stating today that Fulham have signed 17 year old Bulgarian centre back, Stefan Velkov. There have been rumours over the past week that Magath has been pushing hard to sign the 6'3" defender and a deal looked close until some outside influences tried to derail the deal. In fact, the report continues that "well wishers" from Bulgaria contacted Shahid Khan stating that he had "health problems" which delayed the deal.

Velkov had a trial at Manchester United in December and at the time, Utd had asked for 1st refusal on the youngster who has already made 23 appearances for Slavia Sofia.

Although the deal hasn't been confirmed on either clubs website, the Sofia chairman confirmed that he's signed a deal for 5 years for a fee believed to be worth EU 650,000.

Are you Brede's agent, by any chance?

Brede isn't world class either. It's complete speculation that 3 premier league managers have been after him. If he gets signed by a club, it'd be because of his reputation and not because of his performances. He was rubbish for us last year and was unreliable the year before.

Pulls may be able to get something out of him, but your arrogant posts make it seem as if they've lined up Chiellini, not Hangers..

Brede Hangerland will sign for Palace Friday.
According to today's press he has agreed a 2 year deal

He will get ripped apart if he remains in the Premiership, his days playing at the top level are finished.

Bollocks, he will do a marvellous job for them. Unfortunately, for as much as you can dislike him Pulis knows how to set up a defensive team and grind out results unlike many of our past managers.

For a start, please leave the swearing words at home, it's not tolerated here on FOF. Secondly, Brede will not cope with the physical side of Pulis and the way he sets up his teams, that I can assure you of. He's recent back issues will not cope, Brede is far from the player he used to be.

Well, he will definitely be an upgrade on what they have at the moment and let me add that it's quite bizarre that three premier league sides were interested in a finished player. But surely you know better than those three managers.

An upgrade on the players who conceded the least goals after Chelsea in the league after Pullis took over? Doubt it.
Delaney, McCarthy, Scott Dann and Mariappa: not exactly world class players, are they?

They may not seem like amazing players but obviously work very well together, so why change for a guy who is old, serious back problems, well past it, and who's team conceded the most goals in the league by a fair bit and got relegated?

Well Arry watched the world cup and thought the back 3 was a terrifick idea and is gonna to try it at QPR this season, but he a few player short of quailty in that position and has a few targets in mind and been looking at that young fellow Butcher who was at hibs and has offered him 135k a week to join

Obligatory youtube post of newly-linked bloke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwB-CW3rgew (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwB-CW3rgew)


Looks like he prefers RCB - competition for Hutch?

Other info lifted from Transfermarkt [as I have no idea about this guy, at all!] - 28 years old; 182cm tall; right footed; can play RB, but predominantly CB; played in the Europa League qualifiers; capped 20 times for Bulgaria.

Uninspiring 'highlight' clip, consisting of easy defensive headers within a very deep-lying defense. There was no indication of tackling ability, or his speed. They showed him missing an open goal from a free hreader about 6 or 7 times! I hope there is more potential than shown in this clip, Felix obviously sees something.

Maybe he'll look better in Pulis' system, but as we all know Brede's been poor for a while now, and if it's more the system that works, surely there's better (and younger) out there.

David Stockdale played a full 90 minutes tonight as Brighton were beaten 3-1 by Southampton, just over 7,200 saw the game.
Talking to a neighbour who watched Brighton he said Stockdale was Ok but at fault for first goal being beaten on near post but Brighton were played off the park could have been 6-7 in the end, Davis(ex Fulham) was MOM

Surely no Stockers was the next Gordon Banks reading how highly some people rate him on here, there must have been kryptonite behind the goal, oh and havent Southampton sold all there players don't hold up much hope for Brighton this year.

Nobody on here said that Stockdale was the next Gordon Banks, just that he was better than Schwarzer in his last season with us and better than the Dutch china doll we got last season.

Steve Davis was one of our greatest unsung cock-ups, wasn't he?
Bought by Sanchez in his NI-or-bust phase and then used in a system in which he was totally unsuitable and quickly shipped out. Everytime I have seen him play since, whether for Rangers, Southampton or NIreland he has been either impressive or MoM. Just the sort of player we lacked these last few years, too.
I thought this as well.  He was really good for Villa before we signed him, one of Rangers' top players before their implosion, and has been a useful (if not headline-grabbing) contributor for Southampton for a couple of years now.  It's strange to me that LS would spend the money on him and then not use him effectively, but, even more so, strange to me that Roy didn't see any use for him.

Talking of Bulgarian centre-backs, did we sign the youngster, Velkov, as was being widely reported a few weeks ago?

Reports from Bulgaria are stating today that Fulham have signed 17 year old Bulgarian centre back, Stefan Velkov. There have been rumours over the past week that Magath has been pushing hard to sign the 6'3" defender and a deal looked close until some outside influences tried to derail the deal. In fact, the report continues that "well wishers" from Bulgaria contacted Shahid Khan stating that he had "health problems" which delayed the deal.

Velkov had a trial at Manchester United in December and at the time, Utd had asked for 1st refusal on the youngster who has already made 23 appearances for Slavia Sofia.

Although the deal hasn't been confirmed on either clubs website, the Sofia chairman confirmed that he's signed a deal for 5 years for a fee believed to be worth EU 650,000.

Always thought the criticism of Davis was a bit harsh. Hard for a central midfielder to make much of an impact on the game when he's just watching the ball be hoofed over his head over and over.

We just completely bypassed him for the most part.

All quiet !

Do you think we are done or what is still to come ?

I still expect Trotta and Steks ( if anyone will take him ) to leave
I think Ruiz and Mitro may leave

And I think a host of youngsters will go on loan once we know the final squad .

And I still expect another 2 or 3 arrivals .
For me the one real need is a DM . Ideally an upgrade on Parker or at worst a very strong youngster who could overtake Parker as the season progresses .

Yes, just like we waited with Dempsey and Dembele' last minute and seriously shot ourselves in the foot. Plus, what does selling these 2 have to do with signing a goalkeeper?

Might not have anything to do with it unless we are using the 'selling to buy' strategy.

wasnt really thinking about goalkeepers. my main concern is the midfield. if we play the diamond, the 2 on the side i have no clue. ruiz could potentially fit in(hope not) if he stays.

maybe khan is relying on funds coming in to buy new players.

what happened to sane who you said will sign by saturday?

I personally didn't say Sane would sign by Saturday, I copied the quote from someone else, but I reckon the Bulgarian was our "look what you could have won" type signing. As for not signing a keeper, I think we're absolutely mad going into the season without an experienced one.

Jordon Mutch on the way to QPR. Great to see Cardiff losing him and Medel.

We still need a goalkeeper, central midfielder and winger - I reckon we're going to have a busy deadline day.

He looked reasonably competent, if not awe-inspiring, in the portion of the friendly that I was able to watch.  Seems like he'd be a reasonable depth option in central midfield if we're unable to sign more accomplished targets.

On the other hand, there's gotta be a reason why Werder Bremen let him go for free, and then Bolton let him go for free, and then Grasshoppers let him go for free.  Hopefully we've thoroughly investigated that and established that there isn't a cause for concern before bringing him on board.

No thanks on Frimpong.  He's alright but we could do better.

That's what "the word" was, sure, but "the word" is often wrong, and even if that was the case, it could certainly be that once that word got out, interest from bigger clubs materialized and then he was no longer interested in joining Fulham.  I just don't think you can simply say "we should've signed him" as if it's that simple.  It takes two to sign a contract.

I thought Boateng really shored up the defence in the games he played, and his composure on the ball was surprising for a player of his type.

Think he got given a few unfair yellow cards based on a bad reputation.

Costa Rica centre back Gonzalez has interested Fulham and they have apparently had two offers declined by his MLS side Columbus Crew. Fulham will need a bid of £3 million to secure a deal.

Rodallega keen to leave Fulham and go back to South America - if reports are to be believed it would be difficult for him to remain at Fulham as he has made it clear he would like a move away from England. He has been involved in pre season games but Fulham could cope with his departure especially if Mitroglou stays.

Ruiz future at the club still in the balance and there are rumours he might leave for football in Holland, Italy or Spain.

Fulham will only do more business should Rodallega, Mitroglou or Ruiz leave the club.

Stekelenberg also expected to leave before transfer window ends.

Sena interest seems to be cooling as other clubs move in and his price and wage demands increase.

Ruiz future at the club still in the balance and there are rumours he might leave for football in Holland, Italy or Spain.

Fulham will only do more business should Rodallega, Mitroglou or Ruiz leave the club.

Stekelenberg also expected to leave before transfer window ends.

Sena interest seems to be cooling as other clubs move in and his price and wage demands increase.

Another twitter feed that says what we all know, repeats old news and then comes to a conclusion about no new business unless players leave. Which is hopefully not true.

Hertha Berlin insist they are not interested in signing Fulham striker Konstantinos Mitroglou. The 26-year-old joined the Cottagers in January for £12million, but he started just one game for the club as they were relegated and has been linked with a possible loan.

My views on the keeper situation is a bit torn. I think if they are indeed ready, there is no better way to get them matches then with us. I sense something special coming with this squad, that if done right could be the basis of our club for the next decade or so. Imagine something along the lines of Bayern (but on a lesser scale) where they have 6 (or 7) of the World Cup winning squad on their books.

Back to the keepers, if Felix says they are ready, then why not. Yes, there is more pressure on them to succeed early and with little error as there is a bit more pressure on them than lets say an outfield player. I would be more secure in my mind if we were to bring in a Brad Friedel type, someone who is towards the end of their career and can a kind of mentor to them, take a match or two between the posts if need be. This way in effect we get another helper for AL but some assurance if we need a more experienced player between the sticks.

Fair sure this is a thread based on rumours of incomings and outgoings not a thread to bang on about the goalkeepers we already have!

From Get West London:

The manager said: "It's not his fault. It was totally the wrong decision to take a player like Mitroglou; he was the most expensive signing, and he's not used to the English way of football. 

"He would like to play in the Champions League, and it was my wish to sign Ross McCormack, who is the right player for us and the right player for the Championship."

Fulham will attempt to either reclaim part of their massive outlay on Mitroglou, or offer him on loan.

Seems as tho flux is happy with free signings and players like fotheringham.

Watching the Premier League Countdown show on NBCSN and they just mentioned Southampton raked in 161M in transfer fees so far.

Now that....is a good business model. You can spend 25% of that on some bright new prospects and some Prem quality journeyman and pocket the rest and start over. They may get relegated but the will have a huge heap of dose to rebuild. Not sure what their debt situation looks like but they've done good building with youth and then selling them on.

Southampton easily know what they are doing when it comes to transfers and youth players. If the rest of the football league at least followed their youth structures then we could possibly have an exciting few teams to watch rather than just one.

Voser and taggert were nominal fees but guess they are still fees.

As for eisfield that's a million or so well spent for me.

From what I have seen, he is very much a box to box player, he is strong, excellent in the tackle, fast, skilfull, comfortable with the ball at his feet, very energetic and a decent shot.

He is the midfielder we so desperately needed last season, and would be the best player in the league if we signed him... Surely it must be a massive bid from Fulham though.

Xhaka moved for £7.5m to Monchengladbach 2 seasons ago, has been immense since then, and they finished 6th in the Bundesliga last season. He's seriously one of the top young players in the world right now. I really don't get why you'd drop from a top Bundesliga side to a Championship side.

Granit is one of the best Swiss midfielders of the current emerging generation. Was world champion U17 with Shaqiri and co if I am correct. Very highly rated in Switzerland.
I am a bit puzzled by the rumor as Lucien Favre, the Swiss manager of Moenchengladbach, knows him well and rates him. So it will take some money to have him come over. But it could be a massive statement of intent and signing.

"being asset stripped," even if true (which there isn't really any evidence of) has nothing to do with it.  Even assuming we were willing to spend the huge transfer fee that it would take to convince Moenchengladbach to sell him, why on earth would he leave a top Bundesliga club playing in Europe to scrap in the Championship?

forgetting that he won't join, selling your better players and replacing them with inferior freebies and loans is what if not asset stripping. Especially when you are very weak in certain areas. If mo had of done this, this season we would be more up in arms. Yes window isn't shut yet but I expect more to leave than arrive. So far we have saved millions in wages and made millions through sales.

forgetting that he won't join, selling your better players and replacing them with inferior freebies and loans is what if not asset stripping. Especially when you are very weak in certain areas. If mo had of done this, this season we would be more up in arms. Yes window isn't shut yet but I expect more to leave than arrive. So far we have saved millions in wages and made millions through sales.

We've made millions in sales? Most went for free aside from a small fee for Stek and Dejagah? Can't think of many more?

Many of the players who were sold (or allowed to leave on frees) were major parts of the abysmal team from last year, and deserved to be run out of town.  We've got all of one player on loan and it's obvious that we're trying to build a team of young, hungry players rather than the complacent, declining veterans of last year.  What's wrong with that?

and don't get me wrong, I can see the need for cutting wage costs, but making money on sales when certain postions are so bad? Why hav a billionaire investor owner who talks about promotion when a tramp could have spent or made as I happens the same amount of money

It is now reported that Anders Lindegaard is still under contract with Man Utd, and the article from smp.no is not correct says his agent Michael Stensgaard.
However he confirms that Anders Lindegaard would like to leave and is on the lookout for first team football and would like to stay in England but is open towards other options.

Brighton fans are telling us not to be silly, he's worth more than 1.5 million, no chance of getting him.

can see him getting a game against brentford in the league cup, no one really wants him. 12 mill and he only good enough for our reserves, dont think  run of games in the championship would harm our chances of a getting some goals from him and secondly generating some interest to get a decent fee

lol only good enough for our reserves? When fit he will be our best striker by far. And the only question will be, is do we play him on his tod or alongside someone with pace like dembele or Hugo

By the way, the Evening Standard are linking us with a move for Albert Adomah. He wants to return to London and also linked are Watford and West Ham. The article in the paper quotes "Standard Sport understands that Fulham have made buying a wide man a top priority to provide service for their main summer signing Ross McCormack. They are also looking at Watford's Ikechi Anya but Adomah is their first choice as things stand."

Then it goes on to talk about how West Ham have made an enquiry whilst Watford would struggle to avoid him, Middlesbrough have previously rejected £3m from Nottingham Forest and want to keep him as they have high hopes for promotion. Adomah was part of the Ghana World Cup squad.

Adomah was the best attacking player (12 goals, 6 assists) for a pretty decent Championship side last year.  Played in 42 league matches (38 starts, 4 times as sub)so I suppose he can be counted on to be durable.  Seems like a good option to have.  On the other hand, I'm not sure how he fits in tactically if (and I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but if) Magath is committed to playing a narrow diamond.

Post by: SouthWest6 on August 17, 2014, 12:08:00 PM
Fulham are in talks with former German international goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand reports the Daily Mail.

Hildebrand is a free agent following his release from German side Schalke at the end of last season.

The 35-year-old once held the record for not conceding a goal in the Bundesliga, which stood at 884 minutes during the 2003/04 season.

He began his career at Stuttgart and was made number one by now Fulham boss Felix Magath in 2000.

He left Stuttgart in 2007 and moved to Spain to sign for Valencia, after spending just one season in Spain he went back to Germany and signed for Hoffenheim.

In 2010 he moved to Portugal to sign for Sporting but failed to make an appearance for the club, an unsuccessful trial with Manchester City followed before he moved back to Germany to join Schalke.

Hildebrand has played over 300 games in his career, which includes seven caps for Germany.

It might sound daft to most people, but I think a team like Arsenal would really benefit with a loan move for Mitroglou, I think he would be a good replacement for Giroud, if he were to get injured.... Not got many other big men up top to play that sort of role. Thoughts?

Bryan Ruiz to Werder Bremen for 3m... I say we tell them to shove it and keep him. I know he did shite in the Premiership but I seriously think he could fit into this team a lot better! he never really got a proper chance without Berbatov being there, so I say give him a chance now and see if he can link up with any of these fast kids, we all know he is incredible at passing when given time so maybe players like Dembele, Woodrow and what have you will suite him better.

Walsh, it is clear that you are a Ruiz fan. I am as well and I agree with your comments. Ruiz needs runners and the kids can fit that bill. I think he could do a job. I'd even put him in in place of Parker. Be dangerous but the back four is starting to gel. A solid attack would help keep the other team back. The counter might kill us but we can't win without goals.

Fear not, the nimrods will be out. That is, unless they have burnt themselves out banging on Felix. Its ok to follow players you like. That's how I got here. McBride has been gone a long time and I've stayed. Best decision I ever made when it comes to football. Consider staying with Fulham.

I agree as well. It's easy just to remember the period when he played with Berbatov; the previous season he linked well with Dempsey and I'd love to see him play with these youngsters, except that he's being frozen out.  Notwithstanding his contract and understandable preference to play at a higher level, who wouldn't want to leave if they're being frozen out?

I expect him to be sold so that we can fund a transfer for Fotheringham's dad.

The amount on twitter that was mooted was £7... Not much for the future of England!

Still waiting on the midfielder weve lacked for going on what, 4 years? I know we would never get Will Hughes, even if we were in the Premier League, so I would settle for Danny Holla or Grant Leadbitter. Though even Holla would be a bad call since he just joined Brighton.Doubt we could get Holden after Bolton have stuck by him and Cohen is doing well for Forrest. Guédioura of Palace might be a shot.

to be honest, if I was a player and Fulham wanted me, if I knew a player at the club already then I would talk to them. If they said we run for most of the session and use training form 20 years ago (if it is true that we do, i don't know so just saying if that is what they said) then I would think twice about the move. I am really worried we will struggle to get what we need if Felix stays in charge this window. I do believe it is very doubtful we will get rid of felix in tome for any new manager to do anything worthwhile in the window.

Bout time we focused on players who've shed the "let". I don't mind us continuing to fill the youth ranks with promising players, but someone needs to find a game changer or two for the first team.

With Dawson going to Hull, wouldn't mind Harry Maguire from them, though this would more likely have to be on loan.
He may be quite young, but has a lot of Div 1 experience., looked good against Prem teams in league cup last year, and is a leader.

I am surprised we did not make more of an effort to sign him before he went to Hull. Although with Mac and Magr making the decisions that was probably expecting too much.

It's certainly seems like we should have more money to spend and not be signing trialists and bargain signings. Makes me wonder if some of that money is going toward the riverside stand.

Honest question: How much have we spent on transfers, and how much did we receive from parachute payments?

It's certainly seems like we should have more money to spend and not be signing trialists and bargain signings. Makes me wonder if some of that money is going toward the riverside stand.

3 times the salary too, for me I would not have signed him. He was a great player to watch though, saw hi a few times in the San Siro for Inter, top quality, but age catches u with you and for me it has him sadly. Hopefully for Leicester he can still put in some performances.

He 24, has over 60 caps and played at the WC last month.  He's got age and experience on his side.  Doesn't sound like too bad a signing really.

We weren't too excited about Riether when he first joined, turned out pretty well in his first season.  Conversely Ruiz got most peeple excited and didn't really work out, same with Stekelenburg.

If that excuses is offered this year, it'll be a poor once since the players concerned haven't been involved in competitive matches at all (save for Rodallega, I guess) and shouldn't really need replacing.

What do you mean?  Most of Magath's "ridiculous foreign signings" (as if the football played in other countries is somehow a different game from that played in England) have been playing a significant amount.  Hoogland, Stafylidis, Bodurov, Voser all look to be significant first team contributors.  Eisfeld too, but he came from Arsenal so I'm not sure whether he counts as "foreign" through your provincial glasses.  Taggart it's too soon to say because he's been injured.  True Fazlic and Chihi haven't, but they were trialists brought in to add depth and hardly major financial commitments.

That's one way to look at it.  Another way to look at it is getting rid of players who were past their best or didn't want to play in the Championship and bringing in younger players who have the potential to improve and eventually be competitive in the Premier League.  But in any case, "asset stripping" imparts an insidious motivation to what's gone on, and one which you have absolutely no basis to believe is accurate.

So were about even in terms of sales and buys (especially since they list McCormack at 11m). Surely then we have money to spend. From FM interviews it sounds like clubs are quoting us inflated prices. Makes since everyone knows we have money from parachute payments. Hopefully we will bight the bullet and get a couple more players in.

He won't come cheap if he comes!



The Tata to England: there's Fulham
After four seasons in biancoceleste, Alvaro Gonzalez prepares to leave Lazio. On him the Fulham.
The farewell with Lazio is very close, the Tata is on the market and his 30 years led him to want to make a change of direction in his career.
The player's agent has established the first contacts with foreign countries and flew to London this weekend where he will meet the manager of Fulham.
The National Uruguayan midfielder has several admirers in England, and the idea of ​​being able to play in the Premier League attracts a lot, even if the England team will play in the Championship, because relegated. The idea is to build a team capable of go back in the Premier League and we want to entrust the Cottages midfield a player with the experience of Gonzalez.
To convince the Tata, however, will have to submit an offer remarkable, that can attract the player, especially in economic terms.
Fulham will then prepare a contract that will be presented to the player's agent, and decide what will be the amount to be invested for it.
Lazio asks between 5 and 6 million euro.
