There is me thinking, hang about, I thought he had steared us even closer than we were before he arrived.

Dembele quoted in the French press this weekend that there was a selection of clubs with options. However, he also quoted that he was interested in our 'project'. Might not be the last we see of him.
Quote from: @jolslover on May 08, 2016, 11:38:27 PMThat's true Jols however we would need to take someone from a club who finished higher than us and right now can't see who would want to do that, or we look abroad for better value but again who could we attract. It will be an interesting summer seeing who we get in and who leaves, but also a big summer for Joka as he will need to prove himself early next season. We don't have the benefit of getting Udinese players in on loan like Watford did to get up, although I have faith in Joka to improve us next season.Quote from: westcliff white on May 08, 2016, 10:09:48 PM

OK, you can't.
I take a different view. I'd say we've missed a trick if loan achievements are not taken into account.
A lump sum may be due (for example) if the player makes x number of first team appearances before he is 21. I'd say we would have been pretty slow if they could get round that by sending him on loan till he was 21.
But I don't know. That's why I asked. Alex stated it categorically.

Don't you think it would be madness for Man City to commit to extras on add ons for a player that could go out on loan for 3 years and end up costing the club an extra £x amount of money. The sale will state first team appearances and it'll mean to the club we are selling him to.

As you so rightly say in a later post - nobody really knows. Except the bloke who stated categorically that we got 'diddly squat' - so I must accept I was wrong.
I would put your, quite reasonable, question the other way round:
Don't you think it would be madness for Fulham to agree to add-ons based on 1st team appearances before a certain age only to see that player play somewhere else until he reaches that age? Roberts will be 20.33 yrs old when he returns from Celtic. He is on loan for MC's benefit.

Clubs' accounting dates are generally end of may, june or july (ours is end of june) and transfer window doesn't open until start of july. my guess would be the cut-off is 30 june/1 july.
Thing is, our parachute payment goes down by about £10m next year, other than perhaps amorebieta and kaca there aren't any other premiership-level earners left to go, there are no bigger sales likely than roberts and mitroglou, and the permitted losses aren't going to be raised again any time soon. so if we're still in breach this season then we really will be f^&*ked and i can't see us being out of embargo until there's a fundamental change in our bsuiness model... probably about 2018
i absolutely cannot believe we're anywhere near still being in breach this season. surely not

Fulham will give Jokanovic a significant budget this summer but will still try to strectch this due to losing several players that came through the academy. Priority is the defence with the plan to play 5 at the back next year.
On the shortlist for LB are: Ismail Köybasi, Caner Erkin, Eren Albayrak, Ben Chilwell and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson
CB: A deal for Madl is believed to have already been agreed, another name being considered is Bastos but the rest of the shortlist is being closely guarded at the moment but the aim is to bring in at least 2 CBs.
Also looking at Lamine Gassama for a RB but not as high a priority as the rest of the defence
Ince from Brighton should go through in the next few weeks, Parker's new contract is on the understanding he will be used a lot less next season.
Fulham plan to blood Aron Davies, Elijah Adebayo, Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson and Stevie Humphrys during next season, possibly Ryan Sessegnon in a cup game or two depending on signings.

Caner Erkin would be a top top signing, his left foot is wonderful. Doubt we'd be able to sign him though as he's probably on good wages at Fenerbahce and he wouldn't be cheap.

Clubs report for Stekelenburg
(http://nos.nl/data/image/2015/05/16/158248/864x486.jpg)
Maarten Stekelenburg has put his sights on a new club. The keeper comes out next season anyway no longer in action for AS Monaco, that the Dutchman hired for one season.
The goalkeeper is still to mid 2017 under contract with Fulham, but chooses it up for a new adventure. According to the management of Stekelenburg there is sufficient interest. "Fortunately, we have some options," said agent Rob Jansen.
Stekelenburg ended last season on a dead track at Fulham and had therefore rent to Monaco. Also in the principality, he had to settle for a reserve role. The 32-year-old Haarlem had eight appearances for Monaco.

Fulham are interested in signing Glenn Murray from Bournemouth.
The 32-year-old left Crystal Palace for £4million last August but the Cherries are understood to be prepared to let him go on a free.
Fulham, who had their transfer embargo lifted this week, would take on his £30,000-a-week wages.
Murray scored five goals in 25 appearances this season, including the late winner in their narrow victory against champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but made just six starts.
The former Brighton striker has not made more than 20 starts in a season since 2012/13, when he scored 30 Championship goals to help fire Palace into the Premier League via the play-offs.
But the Cottagers are ready to take a gamble with Moussa Dembele set for the exit this summer.
Murray has two years left on his contract at Bournemouth, while Standard Sport understands they are reluctant to let Callum Wilson depart this summer and will maintain a firm stance.
Quote from: AnEssexFan on May 19, 2016, 03:00:00 PMI'm not too worried about striker speed if the rest of the team has pace. Especially with someone like Murray, who again had a great head on his shoulders both for being in the right place most of the time and heading the ball. However, he and McMac would be awful in the same team. That would definitely be too slow. Murray needs speed around him to get the best out of him.
I don't see this Murray deal being a good deal. Mid 30s, hardly played in last couple of seasons, high wages (by championship standards, no pace. Would rather we look for a younger, fitter/faster, cheaper alternative.

I am 36 years old and find it humiliating that we judge Murray for being too old :D
Age is just a number. Players like people age at different stages, and at a different pace. For example Wayne Rooney and Ross McCormack have the bodies of a more advanced age than the average person or athlete. Whereas others like Ryan Giggs, Scott Parker etc can look fitter and sharper because of the way they are made. To hold Glen Murreys age against him is very unfair.

In his recent interview to Faro de Vigo, Carlos Mouriño revealed that the Celtic had received an offer of six million euros of a club of the English Championship by a major player. Since ElDesmarque Vigo os we can confirm that the footballer is Sergi Gomez and that two computers that negotiate their incorporation are the Fulham and the Queens Park Rangers. Sergi Gomez, present and future for the shaft of the lagging behind the Celtic wants to renew to Sergi Gomez The first to give the name of the Catalan was the companion of your radio, Fon García, in your personal account on Twitter. Once confirmed the information we got in contact with the representative of the player, Francesc Valdivieso, whom we confirmed that Sergi Gomez has an English agent that is responsible for managing its future. This person leads directly the negotiations both with the clubs British as with Celta for its renewal. Despite that Mouriño da by practically closed the renewal of the central, Valdivieso assured us that "can be an intense summer for him because he has already received proposals from Fulham and QPR; and they are not the only ones. We are unaware of the exact quantity of the termination clause of Sergi Gomez, although it could be around those 6 million euros. The defense contract ends on 30 June 2017 and in England is a player with a large poster. Personal Friends as Muniesa, current player in the Stoke City, you have spoken very well of the British soccer. So far, only Fulham and QPR, two clubs of the English second division with a great economic potential, have maintained in serious negotiations with the British agent of Catalan. Sergi Gomez do not see with bad eyes output but only one offer irresistible economically would lead him to leave the Celtic by a team from the Championship. The summer is expected intense in 'Celtic house' with this matter.

Agreed, if they have been released by the Premier League club I would say it's a case of they are not a natural Premier League player. By this I mean to say that just because they played in the Prem does not mean they were good enough to be there, and thus signing a "Premier League" player means nothing if they were released by their club because they could not compete at that level of play.

As posted earlier , Fulham are interested in two central defenders.
One is a 24 year from Spain Sergio Gomez. He plays for Celta Vigo. He joined them from Barcelona in the Summer 2014.
The other one in Grant Hanley from Blackburn. He has played for Blackburn for ten years and is a Scottish International.
Not sure how old he is but must be 30 plus.
Who ever we go for must be able to command the centre of our defence.

If he goes it has to be early, can't deal with a late departure again like Mousa Dembeles!
Yes, sooner rather than later is better. But it's out of our hands.
I'm just hoping the papers are right. If we're going to lose him, I hope that there's at least a bidding war for him.

If Ross has a buyout clause, another club has simply to meet that figure. Offering more than this amount would be utterly pointless: once the buyout figure is met it is up to Ross, if there is more than one suitor, to decide where he wants to go. We cannot choose to whom he is sold, so there is nothing that a potential purchasing club can gain by overbidding.

Quote from: ToodlesMcToot on May 24, 2016, 03:50:22 PMTrue, although it could be contingency planning. Which, although, gutting to lose Ross, suggests planning for the future which may not have been as diligently undertaken in recent years as perhaps was necessary.Quote from: Arthur on May 24, 2016, 01:06:58 PMQuote from: ToodlesMcToot on May 24, 2016, 12:44:12 PMQuote from: Arthur on May 24, 2016, 12:37:43 PMQuote from: Bronaldinho on May 24, 2016, 12:30:11 PM

then I hope they are wrong and we keep him. have to say though that all the strikers we seem linked to (so far) are Ross-like as opposed to complimentary. appears like writing on the wall, if you get my meaning.

Reports claim a £12 million release clause in McCormack's contract. But that was when he signed in 2011 from Leeds for up to £11m. He re-wrote the deal in January when he agreed to stay with the Whites until his near retirement in 2020.
GetWestLondon understands the release is even higher.

He was generally regarded as one of the best defenders in MLS last season at age 20. Tall, good in the air. Could use some strength, so not completely sure how he would hold up in the Championship. Good passer, seems to have good instincts on jumping in to break up attacks in midfield. He reminds me of the Yedlin purchase to be honest. Good buy for money, but not up to the quality of the upper echelon of the Premier League. With a year or two of learning could be at premiership level for sure.
The club should be aiming higher than on loan CB's if their intent is to build toward the premiership though.

I think Miazga has much higher aspirations than the Championship. Don't see any scenario where he would agree to a permanent move there. Now if you are saying a permanent move because FFC are in the Premier League, that is more possible.

I would probably take that deal too, but don't think that Palace would offer that much money. Perhaps a straight swap or Gayle plus £2-3m (as he is younger and in the Premier League). Would you take this deal?

The Turkish international, 25, has spent his entire career at Bursaspor but has "two serious offers" to consider over the summer, one of which reports claim is from Fulham.
Every player has his price and Serdar 'as 'is.
Yes, but we always do. That's the way it seems to work. Players and selling clubs want to see what offers come in and take their pick.
So then we start next season with the squad that finished last season, some of whom are expecting to move on and a few who have picked up pre season injuries. We could well be bottom of the table by the end of August.

Every season it seems as if it's particularly important to get players in early so they can do pre-season together but it never works out that way. Of course, in an ideal world it would. Conversely, some of the player who eventually leave us may well not do so in that timescale either.

Precisely, so even if we want players in early it's not always that easy. And the same goes for other clubs, it's not our people dragging their feet.
Quote from: filham on May 31, 2016, 08:43:23 PMIt could be yes, but how much is a little. Take Man Utd they had to pay 5 million pounds more for Memphis to do the deal early. Now we wont be talking that much for us but if we have a budget to spend of 25 million in total to spend, and then offer 5 Million for a player but are told we have to wait till August do we do that? or do we pay say 7 million to get him now if that's what we are quoted? you go from a 5th of your budget too a over a quarter of your budget being spent.

It would soon get around that we were prepared to pay over the odds then that would become the starting point. We on this forum might not like it but that's the way it is in the real world.
Quote from: BedsFFC on May 31, 2016, 11:18:25 PMJimmy also had a release clause that me met, which meant Wigan could not refuse, hence why we managed to do the deal early, in fact before the season ended I believe. I also think Jimmy missed the last game or two of the season for Wigan.
It is about this time of year in this part of the thread that I remind people of a move Fulham did that I was quite proud of. We announced just at the end of the season that Bullard was joining in July.
It came out that we had had discussions and had said to his agent that if anything was leaked before the agreement was made that the deal would be off. I suppose we had a bit more clout then.
Quote from: colinwhite on June 01, 2016, 05:52:21 AMSome said the same about Madl but he started well and the became consistent.

Not always easy to make sense of translated articles but it looks like Besiktas have offered 3 million euros plus two players for Serdar Aziz today. Looks like Bursaspor value him at 8 million euros
Quote from: Statto on June 01, 2016, 05:00:34 PMI wouldn't say the jury is out on Madl with vast majority of fans. Almost to a man most seem happy with him joining on a permanent contract. I'd be ok with him and getting rid of pretty much every other one of the main defenders who played last season and starting again.Quote from: westcliff white on June 01, 2016, 01:31:42 PM
Woolly the same was said of Madl as well he has turned out to be decent, but I agree with the sentiment that centre backs are usually taller and around the 6'3" height
The jury's still out on Madl IMO. We only saw him for six months, during which he was playing with the clear aim of making permanent a short-term move. Let's see if he sustains that next season, without the special incentive.
In any case, whilst his composure, reading of the game, concentration, marking, timing of tackles etc. are all there, at the end of the day we still don't look any better defending set pieces with him in the team.
I think short centre-backs are like slow strikers. It's not ideal but you can perhaps get away with one of them in the team (eg Ross up front) if they've other qualities. But then it's absolutely vital their partner doesn't share the same inadequacy.

If they're good enough, they're tall enough.
Sanatamaria 5'10
Costacurta 5'11
Desailly 6'0
Cannavaro 5'10
Gamarra 5' 11
Puyol 5'10
Ramos 6'0
any of those would do for me.
The more sophisticated central defenders (liberos or sweepers) tend to come in even smaller packages,
Moore, McGrath, Silva all 6'0. The greatest of all Koeman, Baresi, Scirea all shorter.
now stick two of them together and see how they are at defending lofted set pieces in the second tier of english football

Nothing concrete but I've heard some rumours here in Sweden that a few Championship clubs, one of them Fulham, along with Malmö FF and my local side IFK Norrköping are interested in signing the top scorer of Allsvenskan so far: Kalmar FF:s Marcus Antonsson, 25.
He's been on fire the last 1,5 years, scoring for fun and single-handedly carrying his club.

it doesn't matter how tall a player is as long as they are there abouts.What matters is being able to read the flight of the ball (intelligence), position yourself in the right spot (strength, intelligence) and being able to jump (height plus explosive power). bet you those short guys mentioned above could jump and reach a similar height as the the two inches Dan Burn could jump.

Celtic face battle to keep Roberts
Relegated Premier League teams Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Norwich City are all tracking Celtics on loan winger Patrick Roberts.
The 19-year-old has 12 months left on a 18-month loan deal after joining the Scottish Champions from Manchester City in February. Since being given a chance in the first-team at the end of last campaign by former manager Ronny Deila, Roberts impressed, scoring six goals in 11 league games. (Evening Times)

I just saw on Sky Sports transfer centre that Rickie Lambert would be open to a loan if he is not on the first team plans for West Brom.
I haven't seen him linked with us, but think he would work great with Ross here.

I noted with amusement that the thread started by saying that after Jok had steared us away from the relegation threat.
There is me thinking, hang about, I thought he had steared us even closer than we were before he arrived.
Can we have this one thread without posters moaning about the state of the club or having a go at the manager please. There are are dozens of threads on those subjects for those who still feel the need to vent their anger.
No I am afraid you cannot, I have turned down your application, if you cannot take the rough with the smooth, as the Sandpaper said to the Emery Cloth, then you need to find someone to stroke your head until you calm down.
As for finding another site to vent my anger, I tried the Samaritons, and guess what they recommend I stay on here.
Peace and Goodwill to all Fulham supporters including you, as there ain't that many of us around that you can afford to dig me out on a whim, gates are falling and we are an endangered species.
Plus how boring it would be if we all agreed all of the time.
Thank you and Good Night

Quote from: westcliff white on June 07, 2016, 07:44:43 AMIts absolutely key for me this coming season that the players we sign have some kind of pace about them. Especially to replace Dembele. I've seen people talk about more big Number 9's to go noext to Ross, but that will just slow us down even more.
Dont think we lacked pace through the middle with Dembele, but out wide we certainly lacked pace.
Quote from: MJG on June 07, 2016, 08:20:55 AM100% agree MJG. We need two pacey wide players at least and if Dembele goes we need to replace that through the middle.Quote from: westcliff white on June 07, 2016, 07:44:43 AMIts absolutely key for me this coming season that the players we sign have some kind of pace about them.

Agree with width and pace. I'm hopeful that Williams will get a run, but think we need another two to come in at least who are proper wide men. Yes I know width comes from our full backs, but they should concentrate on defending first.

Whilst I like this thread it's also the most disheartening to read. Every time the club are linked with a good player only to get my hopes dashed. Then when the club gets the blame for not stumping up the inflated fee, it gets worse. I'd rather no rumours but just confirmed signings
Quote from: @jolslover on June 07, 2016, 11:19:37 PMDont want to seem like I am nit picking but I didnt read it as saying we had bid 2 million, i read it as saying SJ knows a bid of 2 million may convince Celtic to sell. And does say SK has told SJ to aim high wit his signings, but does that necessarily mean international targets (I assume by international you mean as in plays for the country)?

As a Norwegian I know Stefan Johansen well. He is really professional and a leader on and off the field (captain on the Norwegian national team). As a player he read the game really well and also plays a physical type of football. I am not too impressed by the level in Scottish football, but I guess he will be a great signing if we get him. Fingers crossed.

Interesting that in the BBC review of the Wales squad they have Richards as their unsung hero. They also have Williams as their young talent. I do think Richards has become a scapegoat, but some of his performances have not been good enough, still that's a different thread and should not be discussed here.

I think Betts will one day be great but just not yet. For me defending begins with the keeper who communicates well with his CB's and if we had someone like Davis from Southampton or Rob Green I can't help feeling we'd be in better shape.
Quote from: Horsfield_No9 on June 08, 2016, 03:34:05 PMI fully expect that to happen. If anything we need to make some room for the younger ones like Norman, and i think maybe Joronen is better bet long term than Betts

Below is an extract from HITC Sport - which probably doesn't mean to be a disrespectful as it sounds.
Can Jokanovic be the type of Manager who can re-install confidence in players; motivate them?
Fulham are tracking fallen Celtic hero Stefan Johansen, according to The Express.
The 25-year-old playmaker endured a miserable 2015-16 campaign with the Hoops, netting twice and setting up four goals from 36 appearances in all competitions.
This came after the Norwegian ace won Scotland's PFA Player of the Year for the following season - a staggering decline all things considered.

I don't think we really need a young keeper who isn't below Betts level but is also unproven at a level to guarenteed being an improvement either. I think Betts has potential but isn't good enough or ready to be the number 1 commanding keeper we need to reach the next level.
We need someone more established I think. But if we lose Betts or had we not already had him I'd have no issues with Bentley because I do agree (football manager based lol) that he will go on to bigger things than Southend.

Quote from: Horsfield_No9 on June 09, 2016, 11:24:48 AMIf Dembele goes we need to replace the pace up front, if Ross goes then we need to replace him with the same quality. We have Cauley there as well, so would not overly bother me if Smith went. I have nothing against him, but for me he isnt a starter and is therefore a plan B to bring on in games that are either tight and we need ot change it up or change the style or in games that are physical and he can use that side of his game, other than that. I would rather give Cauley a chance if either Ross or Dembele were injured (if they stay of course).Quote from: westcliff white on June 09, 2016, 11:03:53 AMQuote from: Friendsoffulham on June 09, 2016, 10:46:51 AMSell

Disagree. Who are we gonna get who is better for 750k? Smith has been under used and never had a chance. He's certainly good enough at this level as proved at Leeds. With Dembele going and Ross being "will he/won't he stay" until the deadline I don't think we should let him go.

He had one half decent season at Leeds (12 league goals and 13 in total i think it was), thats not enough to push you up the table sadly. That seaosn I refer also accounts for around a third of his carear goals to date.

Don't sell from me - even for the extra £50,000 we are reported to be holding out for. This guy is a good target man, something we haven't got & is also a natural goal scorer. Fear he will go, however.

Anyone else thinking Slav wasn't impressed with either keeper and Betts will drop to number 2 with an older experienced keeper coming in as number 1?
I think Betts will one day be great but just not yet. For me defending begins with the keeper who communicates well with his CB's and if we had someone like Davis from Southampton or Rob Green I can't help feeling we'd be in better shape.
Agree with this.
Quote from: AnEssexFan on June 09, 2016, 02:55:37 PM
Don't sell. He's a rare type of player in this day and age. He was going to be an important player for us until his injury gave Dembele a chance. Defenders can't handle him if used correctly, and he's not a goalscorer, he's a target man/battering ram/chance maker - and he's bloody good at it. If he goes to wolves, our current defenders will have a problem when up against him.
Quote from: colinwhite on June 09, 2016, 07:30:59 PM
For me Smith is nt a `target man `. Zamora was a target man that could link up the play ,had an excellent first touch and the strength to hold of players as well as the skill to play other players into the game. He was our out ball when we needed a breather to hold the ball up and relieve pressure on our defense. Smith is just a big guy thet we lump the ball up to in desperation as a plan B. I think Joka ill sell him .
Quote from: BedsFFC on June 10, 2016, 01:04:42 PM
We had to get rid of deadwood when we came down from Premiership, we then had the transfer ban to contend with.
I'm sure that the club is looking to mount a serious challenge this season
Fayed was our benefactor. Khan is about 4 times as wealthy and would probably rank about 3rd or 4th wealthiest Chairman in UK.
We have to be looking at players that are premiership ready, just fading in premiership or will be premiership ready in a year or two. These then need to be gelled with quality Championship players.
Matt Smith is a great pro and a decent player. He is a top Div 1 player and a lower to mid Championship player. If we had been relegated this season, I would have been excited to see him start next season.
On the note of transfer fees. Can I say that I don't care if we sell for £1m or £2m or buy at £3m or £10m. In over 40 years of supporting the club, the transfer fee has had no impact on my life whatsoever. Get the quality of player we need.
For about the first time in 5 years, I'd like to look forward to going to the Cottage and consistently see some attacking intent with pace and skill.

Someone better, like who?. Personally think he'd be worth a punt. Would command big wages but still only 29, great in the air and a lot more mobile than Matt Smith. Could be a good springboard for him to kickstart his career
Quote from: @jolslover on June 09, 2016, 11:38:08 PMYou are joking right?
Also seen us linked with Stokes, Would NOT take Stokes. Huws I would have but Wigan paid 2.5mill and he is not worth more than that, so sadly again a no from me.

Fletcher is a proven scorer.
Would definitely take him on a free transfer any day over Danny Graham or Anthony Stokes!
Nevertheless, reportedly earned silly money at Sunderland (£60k) so that'd be a stumbling block.

This is Turkey's most relaible sports website and they have zero mention as far as I can see. http://www.ntvspor.net/takim/futbol/galatasaray/1
Personally I am being petty and would laugh to see Dembele join Galatasaray and squander his career in Turkey.
Surprised Spurs haven't come in for him considering he underwent a medical last January.
Quote from: Asotosyios on June 11, 2016, 11:32:08 AM
If Fletcher was to join us, he would definitely not get £60k per week. The difference between Premier League and Championship wages is vast and the players (and their agents) know it.
I read recently that Hoilett was on £42k per week on QPR and he has now been offered an extension for £8-10k per week.

Hoilett already held talks with Swansea and rumours were that he asked for silly money. So doubt he'll sign the extension at QPR.

Gutting this one although in a way he's smart as chosen a Prem team where he could get in the side unlike Roberts. Alternative thinking is that it isn't totally impossible that we could be in the same division next year (Champ) with him playing for the smaller club or worse (highly unlikely) they are in the Champ and we in the Prem. Real shame we've not done enough to convince the boy his future is here. Truly think he has potential to be a solid Prem player.

Wonder what kind of compensation we could expect? 2 to 5 million??? Dembele is the only current comparison and I've heard/read a range from 4 to 8 for him.
Again, we come off as our own worst enemy with Hyndman. He's definitely good enough to have played far more minutes than he did and I think would likely have improved our play, if not our results. Had he gotten the minutes, he may have re-considered Fulham but, our compensation would have been better for any PL transfer.
Good luck to him wherever he decides to play next season.

I'm not sure where you get your info on him. He's really not that impressive and most Americans would likely agree. He's pacy but his first touch is absolutely putrid. He's a MLS starter at best. MLS youngsters much better than him have come to Europe and dramatically disappointed. Eddie Johnson, Brek Shea, Juan Agudelo, ect. I would be sick if we spent any sort of money on the "kid". (He's 24)
Quote from: cmg on June 18, 2016, 12:27:19 AM
I think its misleading to lump Roberts, Hyndman and Dembele together as if their cases were exactly the same.
Sure they were all part of the same Academy 'cohort' and they may well all be lost to us but their cases are somewhat different.
We have received decent money for Roberts, increasing to more than decent if he turns out to be as good as we think he might be.
We might not get much for Dembele (if he goes) but we have had one valuable season from him.
Hyndman ( a full international) may be a nil return (or close to) for us - but then he hasn't really done anything for us.
Of the 19 other players who made up the 2012-3 Dallas Cup/PL u18 Cup, 12 can now be said to have not made the grade, at least with us.
LVC and Woodrow (as well as Dembele) have established themselves as 1st team squad.
Tankovic (a full international) has done the same with another club.
G.Williams (a full international), Rodak, Grimmer and Burgess are still with us and we should know next season whether they are pass or fail.
What sort of return does this represent for our Academy investment? I'd like to look into that a bit more, but I do know that many of the FA Youth Cup Final sides of the past have failed to produce a single decent player at senior level. Manchester United-style 'golden generations' are very much in the minority.
Quote from: cmg on June 18, 2016, 12:27:19 AMA good and thoughtful post but the bottom line has to be how have the club benefitted from all the good work by the academy. Only two things are to be counted , money received in transfer fees and first team appearances.
I think its misleading to lump Roberts, Hyndman and Dembele together as if their cases were exactly the same.
Sure they were all part of the same Academy 'cohort' and they may well all be lost to us but their cases are somewhat different.
We have received decent money for Roberts, increasing to more than decent if he turns out to be as good as we think he might be.
We might not get much for Dembele (if he goes) but we have had one valuable season from him.
Hyndman ( a full international) may be a nil return (or close to) for us - but then he hasn't really done anything for us.
Of the 19 other players who made up the 2012-3 Dallas Cup/PL u18 Cup, 12 can now be said to have not made the grade, at least with us.
LVC and Woodrow (as well as Dembele) have established themselves as 1st team squad.
Tankovic (a full international) has done the same with another club.
G.Williams (a full international), Rodak, Grimmer and Burgess are still with us and we should know next season whether they are pass or fail.
What sort of return does this represent for our Academy investment? I'd like to look into that a bit more, but I do know that many of the FA Youth Cup Final sides of the past have failed to produce a single decent player at senior level. Manchester United-style 'golden generations' are very much in the minority.

We received some £10m for Roberts and we have had one good season from Dembele, this is a very poor return for all the talent that has been around and all of the expectations we had.
Quote from: cmg on June 18, 2016, 01:05:30 PMI wrote this late last year about the Dallas squad of 2013
As a sort of follow up to the interesting comments above and, perhaps, to provide a bit of evidence as to how difficult it is to make the transition from junior to senior football. It is a bit easier for players at Fulham's level to make the first team than for those at Chelsea, but still it's quite instructive, I feel:
On 23 Feb 2013 Fulham u18 beat Chelsea u18 5-0 at Motspur Park.
Fulham started: Oberschmidt, Donnelly, Arthurworrey, O'Reilly, Richards, Sambou, Hyndman, Roberts, Dembele, Tankovic, G Williams.
We now know what has happened to them. What about the Chelsea lads?
This was their team. I add the number of 1st team appearences since made for any FL or PL team, and where they are now:
Ben Killip 0 Norwich u21
Fankaly Dabo 0 Chelsea u21
Jonathan Muleba 0 Bournemouth u21 (released)
Dion Conroy 0 Chelsea u21
Kevin Wright 0 Chelsea u21 (released)
Isak Sswankambo 0 Molde (Sweden) [played 1 L.Cup game for Derby]
Reese Mitchell 0 Chelsea u21 (out of contract)
Jesse Starkey 0 Brighton u21 (out of contract)
Ruben Loftus-Cheek 14 Chelsea and a likely future star
Tom Howard 0 Merstham (Isthmian Lge)
Chike Kandi 0 Brighton u21
Quote from: Statto on June 18, 2016, 06:03:58 PMor every other year if you take Roberts fee as 5m because that would pay for two yearsQuote from: MJG on June 18, 2016, 12:28:56 PM
The last figures I saw acouple of years ago are that a category 1 youth system should have spent on it least 2.3m per year. That does not include wages I believe but the total running costs of coaches and everything else related to it.
so you need to be churning out a roberts or dembele every year

If Dunk is going to Palace then that probably triggers a move down a division or two for Hangeland. ?
Quote from: maoconnor on June 19, 2016, 10:20:13 PMThink about it this way, a handful of teams have signed players from Fulham since the season finished. The one familiar theme to those players is that we didn't want them anymore (Hyndman doesn't count).
I know it is early in the silly transfer season, however, is anyone else just as nervous as I am due to our lack of movement in the transfer window as of late? I will admit that I have not been as invested this summer in the ongoings of the transfer market, and I may have missed some big moves by Fulham, but right now I am under the impression that we've done almost nothing except for the Madl deal.

Shows the lack of quality CBs available,also they have to better than what we have and signing madl was a masterstroke by SJ also if amore stays backed up by stearman(as he can only be better next season) backed up by a new defensive midfielder and leader who controls the pace of games we should be better next season.Along with parker getting a run of games,leaves the width of the team to be addressed by SJ to go forward we need wide players so that Fredericks has some proper competition !

Why do you think any defence containing Amorebietta & Stearman is going to better this season??
Both played their part in one of the leakiest defences in England. Stearman I could just about tolerate but Amorebiettas performance against Brentford was borderline embarrassing, he was overlooked slightly only due to Jazz Richards being even worse.
Madl was flagged up by Tony Khans stats team so not sure SJ can take the credit for that. There has to be decent defenders out there, maybe look to Scandinavia, another Hangeland type would be great and a lot cheaper than some of the championship CBs we've been linked with.
Quote from: BedsFFC on June 19, 2016, 10:44:23 PMAbout 46 days before the season starts, surely we should be trying to have all new players in and training with us in about 30 days time at the latest.Quote from: maoconnor on June 19, 2016, 10:20:13 PMThink about it this way, a handful of teams have signed players from Fulham since the season finished.

The fact we have not picked up a few players already is a blessing. There's about 72 days to go before the window closes. I'm quietly excited about this window.

Excuse me for being what some will regard as being a giddy or derange optimist but my assumption would be that those at the club would understand that it would be preferable to get players in early.
The trouble is that getting in a player is not like buying a packet of cornflakes from a supermarket or local 24/7. Currently the players are on holiday or possibly playing in some competition. Then when you get to speak with their club and the player they will want time to consider any offer. That will be complicated if any other clubs are also interested in that player when there will be bidding over the fee before that player and agent negotiate the contract. The selling club may then want to get in a replacement before committing to selling. And both the selling club and player may drag it out until the end of the transfer window to see if a better offer comes forward from some other club desperate because a planned deal fell through at the last moment.
That's just how the transfer window is for all clubs except possibly for a few of the richest who are only looking for one or two players and have the dosh to pay the asking price.

Disagree, would much rather see a calm, composed CB come in who fits Jokas requirements of playing the ball out from the back than someone like Stearman who is technically limited. All teams that play effective possession football start with CBs who are competent on the ball

No, no, no, no, you're wrong, the process is just like Football Manager. You put in a bid, the player tells you how much they want and you confirm via email. The player flies in and joins training the following day.
It's ironic. There are indeed a naive few on here who think the business of football is "like buying a packet a cornflakes" but there are plenty who seem to think it's a hyper-complex world of magic and rocket science that none of us could understand, which is equally naive.
By reliable accounts it's actually very similar to some of the latest computer games. Not rocket science.
Take the signing of Stearman for £2m on deadline day last year. We were reported to be in for him at the start of June. Now I'm sure Mackintosh loved spending the summer playing 'hardball' with Wolves' CEO like a character from 'Suits' but six games into the season we ended up with two centre backs who'd never played together. Ten games later the manager got sacked after yet another shambolic defensive performance. Quelle surprise. Pound to a penny Wolves weren't asking more than £3m in June/July. We should have just paid that or walked away and said we'll rely on Dan Burn until January.

It always amuses me to hear that this or that club is planning a "swoop" for a player. I picture the player in question standing innocently on a training pitch when this ruddy great bird flies down and whisks him off in its talons.
It gives the impression that if a club wants someone it just goes and gets him. Unless you're Man U or Real Madrid that's fantasy and there are many factors to reconcile - the player, club and agent among them.

Millwall are interested in Fulham defender Shaun Hutchinson - who is being released by the Championship outfit.
Lions boss Neil Harris wants to bring in a centre-back with Mark Beevers rejecting the chance to stay when his deal runs out on July 1.
And the South London Press understands that Hutchinson, who impressed for Motherwell before joining Fulham, is on their list of signing targets
League 1 is probably about his level, will do well there

He'll thrive at Wigan I believe.
He's got a similar personality and character to Caldwell and Caldwell was a solid defender over his career.
As for Burn, he's made a good career step - sideways albeit, but he'll learn from a good coach and won't suffer the pressure he'd have at our club.
Wish him all the best, he's a nice lad too.
+1 all of that

Well it won't be 'from Hull' as he's been released.
But, I can't see it happening.
He and his agent were at Motspur last Monday for talks. Whether he signs or not is a different thing. Was told it was looking very positive.
I dont know much about this guy, any good?
That said, he is a pacey winger, the kind of player we currently don't have as an option in games. For this reason, on a free, he would be a useful squad addition.
Quote from: Wearethewhites on June 27, 2016, 11:47:49 AMWhilst you may be right asI dont know much about him or watch a lot of Hull City. He did only make 90 odd league apearences for them over 4 years, 48 of thos in the championshiop out of 92 games, suggests he wasnt a regular for them, did they use him as a sub a lot?Quote from: Chutney on June 27, 2016, 10:49:20 AMQuote from: Hoppus on June 27, 2016, 09:58:39 AMGood backup/impact sub with 20 mins left.

Impact sub with 20 minutes left? Sorry, he's a bit better than that, and will most likely be a first team regular IF he joins. Doesn't score lots of goals, but is a tricky, pacey, winger who can turn defenders inside out. something we certainly don't have, and need more than 20 minutes of.

Fulham want to sign Ghanaian youngster Maxwell Acosty
(https://cdn.modernghana.com/images/content3/240x_mg_6292016125539_acostylatina1.jpg)
English Championship side Fulham are said to be interested in signing Ghanaian winger Maxwell Acosty.
The former Ghana youth international played last season on loan at Latina.
He owned by Serie A side Fiorentina but runs out of contract at the end of the month.
Fulham must fight Italian side Genoa who have also expressed interest in signing him.
Acosty joined Fiorentina in 2009 but has been on loan to Chievo, Carpi, Modena and Latina.

Yes it is ..... last I read. I take it that some of these transfers will be loans. Odegaard was supposed to be the new "next Messi". Would seem odd for Madrid to have given up already.

Quote from: Statto on June 29, 2016, 02:36:14 PMYou could argue that the possible total fees of the 3 players is say 6.5M, so thats paid for 2-3 years of the academy.Quote from: Statto on June 18, 2016, 06:03:58 PMQuote from: MJG on June 18, 2016, 12:28:56 PM

so you need to be churning out a roberts or dembele every year

Sessegnon is going to be something special and given this, we will probably need to bring him along carefully, but not hold him back. We have been guilty of doing this initially with Roberts, Hyndman and Dembele.
There is no way to not be rolled over by the big spending clubs, unless the EPL grows a pair of balls and stop them 'ripping' the less well off members of the pyramid! Now we are out of Europe, or on the cusp of it, does that mean clubs from abroad have to pay a proper fee for 'stealing' our academy stars.

I'm sure that we are working to make things happen for the club but, all this time without anything but a cryptic tweet from SJ makes for a pretty mind-numbing transfer window.
You'd like to have a fairly distinct impression that we are approaching this window differently than we have in past failed seasons. I know there were successful seasons in which we behaved very similarly but, those are so far gone now it's difficult to regenerate the good feeling.

You'd like to have a fairly distinct impression that we are approaching this window differently than we have in past failed seasons. I know there were successful seasons in which we behaved very similarly but, those are so far gone now it's difficult to regenerate the good feeling.

How can we delay it, if the clause was 12m and they met it there is nothing that could be done about it.
Yep doesn't seem to make logical sense, like a lot I've read about this clause over the last few days. Only explanation I can think of, although it sounds unlikely, is perhaps sheffield Wednesday were unaware of the clause and making us offers around the £11m mark

Another year, another total squad rebuild. I hope they're going to get quite a few in soon. Trying to gel an entire first team again could really set us up for a bad start. Especially with our tough start
Quote from: Carborundum on July 04, 2016, 06:04:58 PM
Conservation of energy was never my problem with Berba. Lack of positional discipline was. It all went sour for me when he started dropping back to get the ball because his teamates couldn't be trusted.
He and Carney wouldn't be my recipe for a well drilled unit. When he played with Ruiz it was usually horrible.
Look, I don't mind if we don't go up, just so long as we have a developing team emerging to look forward to in years to come. I'd be really happy to see him against us - he can be quite a spectacle and an opposition worldly is still a worldly. But mostly I'd be happy because the opposition could have played someone more effective on average.

What's this talk about Berbatov. He is the reason we got relegated. No, no, no and no..... Even if he was supremely talented. Just no
I'd say it's easier to argue he's the reason we didn't get relegated in 2012/13 than to argue he's the reason we did get relegated in 2013/14.
But that was several years ago and he was on his last legs then. Plus he was never cut out for the rough and tumble of the championship, even in his prime. So no I don't want him back either.

In relation to Odoi I saw him in a couple of games before he went to Lokeren. I dont actually remembe to much about him, however speaking to a colleague of mine in Brussels who is an Anderlecht fan he hads this to say just 5 minutes ago when I asked about Odoi, i put our conversation below......
Me - Denis Odoi wanted by fulham. ex Anderlecht?
Colleague - ah, he's at lokeren nowadays
Me - any good? (cant remember him)
Colleague - not bad. not great :)
Me - average then lol
Colleague - a bit above maybe :)
Me - ok
Colleague - can play right or leftback
Me - we need some full backs
Colleague - rather small player, not sure very suited for championship football, technically ok
Me - thanks

Although 15 million, woud we as a club take it or would you as a poster take it?

It's hard to say at this point but I'm not actually that bothered about Ross going for 13m. At his age I think that's a good deal and although he is our talisman I don't think he gives the team the balance it needs. I wanna see Cairney in the hole with 2 wingers either side and a goalscorer in front. Although Ross is more than just a goalscorer I struggle to work out a formation that fits both Cairney and Ross into it.
Having said all that if he doesn't go I'll also be happy. As long as these players are replaced and the 13m spent on improving the team as a whole then I won't be upset. But if they cash in and we start the season with Smith and Woodrow then I'll be fuming.
The club have a 2 and a half week window to keep me on board. After that I will be convinced no one at the club knows what they are doing nor do they have any urgency at a time when we desperately need to hit the ground running and get a team to gel

Quote from: Chutney on July 06, 2016, 12:36:33 PMsee you are just reading the headlines and not the contents of the discussion. there is more to this than just anyone wanting to sell Ross. Danny brings up the tactical side of things but lets just ignore that eh? Yes Ross scores lots and has assisted a good number as well. I'm not advocating selling him, but if an offer came along at that total then you need to consider it looking at the bigger picture. Tactical and financial issues come into play. And personally I would not spend 13m on another player to replace him. It would be about building a team and not trying to rely on one star player.Quote from: MJG on July 06, 2016, 12:09:45 PMQuote from: dannyboi-ffc on July 06, 2016, 11:34:47 AMI'm in the same camp Danny.

The club have a 2 and a half week window to keep me on board. After that I will be convinced no one at the club knows what they are doing nor do they have any urgency at a time when we desperately need to hit the ground running and get a team to gel

So, we nearly go down, two seasons running, and your solution to that is to sell arguably the best player in the division. If we have any intention to progress we should be signing players like Ross McCormack, not selling them.
Who could we sign for £13 mil that has a proven goal scoring record that matches McCormack?
Quote from: MJG on July 06, 2016, 12:55:12 PMThe tactical aspect ois a good one, have we see the best of TC yet? no one knows, but he does seem ore suited to playing in the number 10 role behind a front striker. It is also a good quesito n to ask do they both fit in the same team as Ross likes to drop deep and TC would already be there if in a number 10 role. Every team should be about the team and what make sit function best and play the best football. Having said that, Ross has been key ot some of our best football and results, so it is hard to ignore that. MJG is right as well we do need to build a team buand 13-15 million is a lot for a 30 year old, so it could be right to cash in and build a team capable of moving ofeard and taking us up (not saying we wont do that this summer or with Ross in the team just staying thats what we need to do). I am hoping that Kahn spends big and forgets FFP, other clubs do so the rules can be challenged as they have already been. That aside as some have said how do you replace the goals, it isnt just Ross's that would need replacing its Dembele's too, that's45 odd goals last season, how much does it cost to build a team and replace the goals as well?Quote from: Chutney on July 06, 2016, 12:36:33 PMsee you are just reading the headlines and not the contents of the discussion. there is more to this than just anyone wanting to sell Ross. Danny brings up the tactical side of things but lets just ignore that eh? Yes Ross scores lots and has assisted a good number as well. I'm not advocating selling him, but if an offer came along at that total then you need to consider it looking at the bigger picture. Tactical and financial issues come into play. And personally I would not spend 13m on another player to replace him. It would be about building a team and not trying to rely on one star player.Quote from: MJG on July 06, 2016, 12:09:45 PMQuote from: dannyboi-ffc on July 06, 2016, 11:34:47 AMI'm in the same camp Danny.

Sheffield Wednesday have had a £13 million bid accepted for Ross McCormack - @TFS_SheffWed
I'm done, I'm officially done. Shahid Khan, Tony Khan, Mike Rigg, the lot of you F**K OFF!!! :031:
It's hard to say at this point but I'm not actually that bothered about Ross going for 13m. At his age I think that's a good deal and although he is our talisman I don't think he gives the team the balance it needs. I wanna see Cairney in the hole with 2 wingers either side and a goalscorer in front. Although Ross is more than just a goalscorer I struggle to work out a formation that fits both Cairney and Ross into it.

13 million is good business I suppose,but the fact is because of our position last couple
of seasons who are we going to get decent to replace him?
Good players arent chumping at the bit to sign for us.
Id rather we keep our best player(by a mile) than have the money.
Quote from: dannyboi-ffc on July 06, 2016, 03:36:06 PM
Ross has never been in a 'good team'. Leeds were a same situation to us, it's always crap side that would be nowhere without Ross.
That's true in the fact he seems to be instrumental in everything we do in the final third but imo his teams struggle because he is awkward to build the team around.
I'm not saying we must sell but 13M would mean we could sign 4 good players, maybe a Bamford on loan and a winger who can chip in with goals as well as a Mccarthy in goal and a fullback or two.
Surely if we replace McCormack with a team and not another McCormack it will result in us being a better side overall? We could spread the goal scoring burden across the team, and if one of them gets injured we would still be strong. At the moment it's always a case of if Ross gets injured we are f&#&#$. And I don't think any team gets promoted putting all their eggs in one basket.
It would be like having a flash car on the drive but a dated kitchen, bathroom and leaking roof. You could sell the car, fix all the problems with the house and then buy a different car. You still end up with a car but now have a Nice complete house to go with it.

Running with that analogy, If we want to progress we need to buy more expensive flash cars and do the house up at the same time, with high end items, it wont be cheap, but quality rarely is. Or, if we want to level out and become an average side at this level then we can sell our flash car to repair the house, but then you're left with an average car, and an average house and no where to go from there.
Essentially this transfer window comes down to this, are we willing to gamble, spend well and spend plenty in order to get players that are good enough to take us up? Or do we sell our stars, our only real assets, sign 4 or 5 players for a couple of mil each and end up with a team of Richard Stearmans? They might well keep us up, but the evidence suggests they would struggle to do even that.
McCormack kept us up last year, and the previous year, these lesser quality players we sign only drag us backwards.
We need more flash cars.

To all those saying sell Ross for 13 million because it will make us a far better side, I then ask you this, why doesn't our multi Billionaire owner keep the best player in the division AND give Slavisa £13 million to spend (we've already brought in a lot of money) , surely then by your own logic we will be spending a lot of time in the top 10 this season,

Fail FFP and you go up you get a fine.
Stay down you get an embargo for as long as it takes to get back within budget.
Quote from: Statto on July 06, 2016, 07:48:40 PMPersonally do not see how the league can impose any punishment if some teams refuse to pay as they have done so far, every club should ask what is going on and they should then suspend the rules till it is resolved. There should also be legal recourse to all teams, hit with any form of punishment in the interim period, against the league if QPR get away with it as they are nowQuote from: westcliff white on July 06, 2016, 07:38:06 PMQuote from: westcliff white on July 06, 2016, 07:35:16 PMNope your right that is the issue, however he can do it if he wants too.

IMO given the number of clubs appearing to disregard FFP, the football league have two options: (1) scrap the whole system or (2) impose more meaningful sanctions, eg, points deductions, in certain cases. Sod's law we'd disregard FFP and then be the first club the football league make an example of with (2) next year

Hold on, Aluko is a decent Championship player. He's just played and contributed to Hulls promotion season. The Prem is prob a little to much of a jump for him, so not worth Hull renewing his contract, but if he was still under contract, we'd expected to pay a couple of million for his services.

Yes, he's an attacking right winger more than a foward. Bags of pace, strong build, causes defences a lot of problems. Not a 90 minute player though, more impact.

BUT if we gambled and then failed to go up we would be hit with a transfer embargo for as long as it took to balance the books within the allowed budget.
We would not be able to sign anyone (Anyone for cash)as the FL would not sanction the transfers. So the squad you build to gamble on going up would have to slowly be dismantled to help balance the books, while being restricted in new signings (frees or restricted wages).
Now you could argue that we may challenge that, but no team has challenged the transfer embargo restrictions and I dont see anyone doing that soon.

We would not be able to sign anyone (Anyone for cash)as the FL would not sanction the transfers. So the squad you build to gamble on going up would have to slowly be dismantled to help balance the books, while being restricted in new signings (frees or restricted wages).
Now you could argue that we may challenge that, but no team has challenged the transfer embargo restrictions and I dont see anyone doing that soon.
Well yes.... Hence its a gamble. We won't get anywhere if we carry on the way we have over the last two years. If people are happy with where we are, relegation battlers in the championship, then fine lets play it safe and stay.
The alternative is Khan invests whats needed to ensure promotion, and takes the financial hit that follows, which is what I thought was going to happen when we signed McCormack, it was a huge statement of intent to sign the divisions top scorer. It was however nullified by the signings of the likes of Mark Fotheringham....
Quote from: MJG on July 07, 2016, 09:47:59 AMI see your points MJG but with 2 teams blatantly ignoring the rules, an done of triose teams back in the league it would seem that the rules are not fit for purpose, in fact some could say they favour teams as the league do nothing about hose who refuse to pay or abide by the rules.

Whilst I understand the sentiments, MJG is correct. we've done the ffp league thing to death and MJG has kindly done a whole thread in the menu.
Right now, spending with abandon would be the craziest decision in the last 4 years and the last 4 years has been a catalogue of stupendously bad decision making by the club.
All that said. If we were to get to January and be in the top 5 and really competing, I think that may be worth trying to go big on 1 or 2 players. Or, fast forward 12 months and having come off a season where we had just missed out and we felt we had a strong squad, then, yes, it may be worth the gamble.
What I will say is, despite the gloom from many on here, I think we are going about things the right way. What we have done so far, seems to me to have been a sensible build of a new team.
We lacked pace and drive and we had 2 strikers, that whilst great goalscorers, they would not defend from the front and you get the feeling that they could each get a goal in the game but the defenders wouldn't have had a torrid afternoon. With a slow midfield to boot, it just meant that without the ball at any place on the park, we could be on the back foot.
I get the impression that for the first time in about 4 years, we may be able to get at teams and put them on the back foot. That in itself, eases the pressure on a defence. If that is the case, players like Stearman might be seen in a completely different light this coming season.

Quote from: Statto on July 07, 2016, 04:56:42 PMafter the last few years, I'll just be happy if we sign a defender who can actually play as a defender, no more pretenders please
By all (many) accounts I've read, he's a right back, albeit a right back who can also play left back.
Now If I were Rigg/Jokanovic and I wanted someone to play left back, I'd sign a left back.
Not a right back who can play left back.
If I wanted someone at right back we could occasionally play at left back, THEN I might sign a right back who can play left back.

Last 3 seasons:
13/14 LB 34 RB 7
14/15 LB 26 RB 14
15/16 LB 31 RB 7
Does that make him a Left back or a Right Back?
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
He is reportedly right-footed.
Schnellinger, Breitner, Maldini, Breheme, Junior. No, not a list of the greatest ever left backs, although it wouldn't be a bad list. But they were all right footed.
He's more likely to be served Peking style with pancakes than turn out as good as any of those, but I don't think we need to worry about him playing on the left.

On consideration I'll reply to this because, being a bit of an old buffer, I may not know that it is accepted internet etiquette to phrase enquiries in a peremptory, one word fashion such as this. Personally I find it a bit impolite. It is not my normal practice to make stuff up and if I am unsure of anything I say I would normally qualify it.
I got this stuff from Transfermarkt, which I would recommend to anyone interested in the statistics of European football.
It also tells me that Oboi played his one full Belgian International at right back and two of his three u21 games at left back (no info n th other one).
I think it is pretty clear (or, at least, it is to me) that he can perform on either side and that if he is going to be signed as a left back this does not represent any dereliction of duty on behalf of the club management.

It would appear to preclude Denis Odoi Sporting Lokeren will be leaving soon. The wing back has a personal agreement with Fulham, but there may be still a surprising turn in the transfer file in the making.
So knows Het Laatste Nieuws that a Belgian top team on the sleeve of Odoi draws: KAA Gent. Hein Vanhazebrouck would quite like the defender in and sees in him an ideal competitor for right-back Thomas Foket and a back-up for left Nana Asare. That Odoi is polyvalent, thereby naturally plays in his favor.
It is not yet clear what Odoi 's needs: a domestic top club or a foreign adventure. Between 2011 and 2013, the now 28-year-old defender has played two more seasons for RSC Anderlecht, but that was not successful.

IMO given the number of clubs appearing to disregard FFP, the football league have two options: (1) scrap the whole system or (2) impose more meaningful sanctions, eg, points deductions, in certain cases. Sod's law we'd disregard FFP and then be the first club the football league make an example of with (2) next year

It is not yet clear what Odoi 's needs: a domestic top club or a foreign adventure. Between 2011 and 2013, the now 28-year-old defender has played two more seasons for RSC Anderlecht, but that was not successful.
This seems to say that he is wanted by Gent as a competitor for right back and back up for left back. He may prefer to be first choice at Fulham.
Doesn't sound too promising that he would be considered a back up in a mediocre Belgian league team...
Do you mean Gent are mediocre? They won the league in 2014-15 and were third last season.
Or do you mean that the Belgium league is mediocre? Maybe but their system seems to produce some half decent players.

FULHAM, GRIEZMANN, MITROGLOU...
Considering what happened last night, it's worth remembering that Fulham could have signed Antoine Griezmann in 2014.
However, they were quoted a fee of £12m by Real Sociedad and the move did not materialise.
Instead they signed Kostas Mitroglou, for a similar fee on Deadline Day. Fair to say that didn't turn out too well...
How different things could've been...

It would appear to preclude Denis Odoi Sporting Lokeren will be leaving soon. The wing back has a personal agreement with Fulham, but there may be still a surprising turn in the transfer file in the making.

Yes, I know they are relatively good in Belgium, and have historically been consistent, but the league itself isn't of a particularly high standard. If he is considered a back up option to teams from such a league then why should we be considering him an option?
Don't get me wrong I'm hoping he turns out to be a good signing, just questioning the logic behind him being a target, is he perhaps another stats team find?

We are some distance away from this. We don't know much about the Belgium league, Gent, their backs or Odoi.
Just because the translation of some journalist says Odoi is wanted as backup doesn't mean a reasonable person would consider him to be only to be a back up.
Let's welcome him, trust Jokanovic and make our own judgement when we have seen him play a few games.

Still no excuses for the way we absolutely failed during what was one of the most crucial windows in our history. When you look at Hull, Norwich, burnley etc... They all used their competitive edge in the market to invest and keep hold of their best players. We squandered our opportunity to do the same and now look where we are, constantly battling relegation. We no longer have the chance to do the same.
Its depressing to see how much better other teams are run when compared to our own.

Oh, I agree. Newcastle are a massive club compared to FFC.
Doesn't change the fact that Fulham wasted their competitive advantage over the past 2 years. Now they are on a level playing field with the rest of the Championship and due to FFP, cannot buy their way out.

Quote from: f321ffc on July 09, 2016, 10:17:47 PMWhoops it's McDonald not macdonald, link below to Wolves forum thread on this.
Rumour coming from Wolves site that we are back in for Kevin macdonald.
Quote from: Mince n Tatties on July 10, 2016, 10:36:53 AMwell Sone Aluko was born in hounslow so he's probably more closer to a home player than many of the squad already.
Would have liked to have seen us sign a few more Home produce,we are mostly so far going
for foreign players,but maybe the reason is there isnt the talent available here anymore,or they
dont want to sign for us...Beggars cant be choosers I suppose.
But if the imports turn out better than average,I suppose I will be happy.
Just a Sunday moan. :022:
Quote from: Mince n Tatties on July 10, 2016, 10:52:44 AM
The problem with average foreign players is your taking a chance with them.
Players who are plying their trade here every week you see what they are capable or not
capable off...
And I know Sone is from here.
Quote from: Statto on July 10, 2016, 10:21:24 AMWe lost Hyndman, who is more than a decent player. Quite annoyed with his situation in the last couple of seasons.
To be fair to the club, six new players (Madl, Faurlin, McDonald, Odoi,Aluko, Ayite) in with two months left of the window would be good going.
Based on what those posters who know those players have said, All of those would be an improvement on what we have.
The only decent player we've lost is Dembele.
Yes they've been low value deals so far, but you'd have to be crazy to think we were going to sign 5-10 players for £5m each.
If we see a bit more business and a couple of higher value, marquee signings in the key areas, I will be happy.

We went for proven championship players last year and most on here seem to want rid of those players now. I'd much we made our scouts earn their money this time, rather than just picking a bunch of players any of us fans could point to

I share your fear. [Not really].
If we get McDonald it will mean we have four and a half Scotsmen in the squad. Scary.

Brilliant news, if this is real we should be all over this. Class player.
No lie saw him in Belgo Holborn! Never said he was joining us just said doesn't see himself breaking into the first team at Chelsea and would like a loan move somewhere local as doesn't wanna be away from his Family again!

Do we need Hendrick (however unlikely people think that is) and McDonald? Unal wouldn't be too bad if a transfer not a loan unless the loan is with an option to buy.
Do we need any more defenders after Odoi (if he comes? everyone's been on about our back line but is lighthouse right that it may have been a case of too many to choose form

If the club want to add quality then we need as much of it as we can get. There's a big difference between signing Hendrik and McDonald to signing Ohara and Matilla.
If push comes to shove I'd happily move Tunnicliffe on. Imo he isn't good enough and doesn't have the best attitude in the world.
Hendrik/ Faurlin
McDonald
Cairney
LVC
Parker
I think I'd take that if the others moved on. With defence I think we need a better centre half to play on the left alongside Madl. Stearman and Ream are fine for backup left and right but neither proved good enough to take us to the next level. And Amorebieta won't be here come the Newcastle game.
Other than Cairney, LVC, Fredericks and Bettinelli I could take or leave all our squad from last year to be honest. And even then I only feel Cairney is good enough to walk into the team week in week out.
But I'm still positive honest lol. Actually I'm quite happy with the names we are linked with, I just hope we cover all areas and do it in the next 10 days or so
Quote from: FFC1999 on July 10, 2016, 08:43:59 PM
Maybe im being greedy, but wouldn't mind another striker. I think Madl and Stearman could easily work as a partnership so not as worried about the centre of defence.

Quote from: westcliff white on July 11, 2016, 08:04:48 AM
agree Danny, could we see Madl play right back?
Joka seems to favour (or he did at Watford and Macabbi) a 4-3-3 formation, pace widand all that etc. So maybe wont be a 3 at the back. If Madl plays centre then ues we will need a poper left sided Centre back to do the business.
Quote from: dannyboi-ffc on July 11, 2016, 08:15:12 AMYour spot on Danny, for me it would be, I was just speculatingg could he play there, would they play him there or has he played there before, thought someone when we signed him said he could play at right back.Quote from: westcliff white on July 11, 2016, 08:04:48 AM

Isn't that a bit like playing Cairney on the wing?Yes it does a job but does it really make sense to put the best player for their preferred position out of position?
Ţhis is something for a Baird who can't get a looking over Hangeland and Hughes so we fit him in where he can do a job. I don't think it makes sense to do it with your best players. We should build the defence around Madl imo.
I see Stearman and Ream as decent backup. Ones left, ones right.
Quote from: Woolly Mammoth on July 11, 2016, 08:30:51 AMJust checked the offal and it has him at 6'2" and 11stone 9, thats a little lighter than me lol.Quote from: westcliff white on July 11, 2016, 07:41:28 AM
Stearman is what around 6ft 2 / 6ft 3? I know its pahysical league but a lad that size and with his build should be able to cope.
Madl I tend to agree with if he had someone similar build next to him, but with a regualt partner of Stearmans size I think it could turn out ok, as I say I think.
We have what 4 CB's now? Stearman, Madl, Ream and Bourderov thats without the youngsters, where as last year I think we had 6 plus the youg guns, so maybe these guys will gain confidence in the fact that they are first choice and will play like they are first choice. Just hoping as we have not been linked with any centre backs as yet.
Unfortunately Richard Stearman is 6'1" and around 11st if that.

Quote from: bill taylors apprentice on July 11, 2016, 08:39:08 AMNot arguing, just thought he did well at Wolves, everyone was on this board praising the signing when it happend. As confirmed by Statto and the offal he is around 11st 9 which surprised me as that's lighter than me. But he is 6ft 2 (190cm in new money) which is an adequate height for a centre back, not overly tall but adequateQuote from: westcliff white on July 11, 2016, 07:41:28 AM

Firstly Bodurov seems to be out of the equation now and secondly I bought Stearmans shirt when the British Legion were auctioning the Poppy shirts and I was amazed at how small it was.
I appreciate footballers are more athletic and leaner than the past but his shirt was a medium and confirmed to me he was lightweight for this league.

Our manager has just tweeted a picture and saying that he is enjoying a bit of training with the team in Cork. What can we read into this? Is it a dig at the players for not training hard enough. Is a joint signing on the way.
According to his agent the QPR player is not on trial at Fulham but training with us. Mike Rigg knows all about him from his days at QPR so no need for trial. Just....um....training with a view to ...um sign then.

The tweet is very important and deeply significant.
After careful textual analysis by my team that includes trained psychologists and Cold War analysts they have concluded that it means:
"he is enjoying a bit of training with the team in Cork"

According to Belgian press the Odoi deal was done last week, but we have not said anything maybe we are waiting to see if other targets come to fruition or we are having second thoughts. McDonald is apparently talking to clubs, only teams with rumoured confirmed bids are us and Sheff Wed. So that's a hard one for the lad to choose form.
Once Denis Odoi & Kevin McDonald are confirmed, we are already halfway through our target of 10 new signings for the 1st team.

Quote from: Hoppus on July 12, 2016, 08:22:04 AMCould be the case, the trusted belge papers reported on Friday &Saturday that it was a done deal and would be announced on Monday. So it is possible that paper work of some kind could be the problem, although I guess it wont be work permit related so has to be contractual or paperwork registering with UEFA/FIFA being the issueQuote from: westcliff white on July 12, 2016, 07:44:10 AMQuote from: ..FOF.. on July 12, 2016, 07:34:02 AMSurely you mean if they are confirmed.

Denis Odoi confirmed he is coming to Fulham.

Boderov told he will not play, Amorebieta not playing again today as per last game, even though he has been in Ireland. Interesting that Burgess was also ignored. This all suggests to me that we have a central defender lined up somewhere. I would love us to sign McDonald however he messed us about last summer and seems to be doing the same again, I have a feeling he is somewhat difficult to manage although this may not be true, however we should not spend too much time on him as once bitten etc. Wonder if Delaney is still a possibility with the supposed offer for the Hendrick it would suggest we are in for a strong central midfield player however maybe Faulin will take that roll after all central midfield is not exactely our weakest area.

Moussa Dembele making Champions League debut on some plastic recreation ground just off Gibraltar airport.
Things not going too well for our ex-hero. He's already a year older than when he left us and he hasn't scored a single goal in that time. (They've been playing for 9 minutes). 081.gif

I think it just points out that, although Odoi and de Sutter played together at Anderlecht, they won't be playing together at Lokeren, to where de Sutter has just moved from Bursapor, because Oboi won't be there because he is going to be at...little old Fulham.

Yet to sign, Ale Faurlin, was featured heavily throughout our Preston North End game.
He started both halves of the game and according to reports, had a big impact playing in a more advanced midfield role.

Quote from: Hoppus on July 13, 2016, 09:22:52 AMNorwich City have made a £13m bid for Fulham striker Ross McCormack.
Norwich bid for McCormack. Not good :|
Quote from: Mince n Tatties on July 13, 2016, 09:27:49 AM
I dont think we will sell him.
Madness if we do,no matter how much we get,unless we have someone
lined up who can bag 20+ a season..
Quote from: Hoppus on July 13, 2016, 09:22:52 AMA reminder of a snap poll I did last week on twitter. Every player has a price
Norwich bid for McCormack. Not good :|
Quote from: FulhamStu on July 13, 2016, 09:49:42 AMSadly, and I'm a really big McCormack fan, but I think this is the case. £13m for a 30 year old is a cracking deal for a Championship club with ever lessening parachute payments. I think he's gone.
I really don't want to sell McCormack however, £13million and 30 years old says we would be crazy to ignore this. It would sort out the FFP and give Jok/Rigg freedom in the market to get who they want. HOWEVER and this is the thing. I don't think Mccormack suits the style Jokanovic wants to play. I think he wants to play high tempo, pressing, fast on the break with Width. The 2 new guys will give pace and width and Mccormack will not keep up and slow things down. The key is, if we sell, can we replace with this fast central striker required. If you like compare it with Burnley selling their main striker and buying the best striker in the league from Brentford for £9million, they did OK didn't they.
Quote from: HillingdonFFC on July 13, 2016, 10:52:20 AMCOuld have yes, but Delaney has gone to Gala possibly lure of european football swayed him there over us, we dont know if we bid for Gayle but if he really wanted to stay down south surely his agent was seeing who was interested rather than jumping over the forst confirmed bid made as for McDonald apparently bids accepotebd accoridng to Kenny Jackett but he didnt say which clubs hopefully us.
Had a ready made replacement in Gayle who I have on good authority wanted to stay in the South and was keen to come to us.
Love McCormack but 13 million quid for a 30 yr old is very tempting. The only problem is do we trust the present regime to spend it wisely?, thats the problem.
We could've got Gayle, Delaney, McDonald for that kind of money

Ross last season in the Championship: 45 games, 21 goals, 10 assists.
Jerome the season before last in the Championship: 41 games, 18 goals, 7 assist (plus 2 goals and 1 assist in the 3 Play Off games).
That's one good donkey!
And regarding the price: Yes, in the current market I'd say Jerome is worth somewhere between £5-10m.

Camron Jerome has 93 goals in 407 carear league games
He has played 6 season sin the championship (on eof which he only played one game so must have been injured) totalling 196 games and scoring 58 goals so one goal in just inder 3.37 games or so
Ross has 133 goals in 381 carear games.
he has played 9 seasons in the championship (one of those seasons wa sjust 2 games so assuming he was also injured) totalling 303 games scoring 116 goals in those games a goal every 2.61 games
So for me if Jerome is worth 8 million the Ross is worth 26 million, to put it another way Ross at 13 million means HJerome is worth about 4 million
Quote from: twang on July 13, 2016, 01:24:51 PMI get that but I have taken stats from just the championship, a players best years could be anytime, and if Camerons bets was what he showed in the prm then we should steer clear.Quote from: westcliff white on July 13, 2016, 01:05:49 PM

I see where you're coming from, but you're not taking one important aspect into consideration: They are both the same age. And while Ross has played his best years in the Championship and tearing it apart, Jerome has played the majority of his best years in the Premier League, where he's struggled.
So when Ross has played his best football last three seasons all in the Championship, Jerome has played one of those in the Championship and two in the Premier League. The only recent comparable season (14/15), Jerome scored more than McCormack. But then he played in a top team and Ross didn't. So even that might not be a fair comparison.

No they don't but after a few angry emails one year they did reluctantly change my order (which hadn't even been printed yet) I pre-ordered a Dembele shirt and a couple of weeks later before shirt had even arrived he moved to Spurs.
They have a disclaimer somewhere saying they aren't obliged to replace order if a player moves at any time so pick carefully i.e players who only just joined are safest bet.

That's an indication that SJ couldn't get who he wanted on a permanent, but is willing to look at loans. If Odoi and Malone actually happen, we could be all set at back 4. Perhaps one more CB if SJ wants to utilize 3 at the back. He might also like Madl as RB which means one more CB as well. could see Madl one side, Odoi other with Kalas/CB in centre

Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday are both offering £5m for Hanley, while Wolves and Fulham have come in for Republic of Ireland star Duffy with bids of £3.25m.
Blackburn rate Hanley at nearer £6m and Duffy at around £4m and are adamant both will not leave Ewood Park ahead of the new season.

Why are certain names greyed out, some may be changing squad number are other being sold, McCormack No44 is his number but greyed out, hes off I'll tell you and a new number 1 coming in!!
Tunners, LVC and Fredricks too. If they are all off we are truly screwed.
Mystery solved.
The players who are greyed out are the ones with surnames of nine letters of more - whose names won't fit on the back of a child's shirt.
McCormack, Fredericks, Christensen, Bettinelli, Tunnicliffe and Amorebieta.

Do Fulham do the thing where if a player moves in August they'll replace any shirts printed with their name on?
I quite fancy getting a Amorebieta shirt for one of my sons.
No they don't but after a few angry emails one year they did reluctantly change my order (which hadn't even been printed yet) I pre-ordered a Dembele shirt and a couple of weeks later before shirt had even arrived he moved to Spurs.
They have a disclaimer somewhere saying they aren't obliged to replace order if a player moves at any time so pick carefully i.e players who only just joined are safest bet.
Thanks, well I wont be preordering then! Not that I would anyway.
I'll go for one Madl, and the other I'll wait until September for (he has Christensen from last season).

I think it's more that he has been refusing to sign a new contract for weeks/months, and so they had no choice but to go for Bentley.
As for Amorebieta - I couldn't care if he was wanted by Real Madrid.... I'd still want rid of him. Too often near clumsy red cards or penalties. I still shudder about the sheer incompetence of the one he gave away at Reading.

Karanka doesn't want him back (he's seen enough according to my Boro mate (as have the fans), and Zidane (to my knowledge) has never given a public opinion on him. That leaves Benitez (who may or may not have seen him play).
don't get me wrong i'm 50:50 about the guy sometimes
i've no idea if benitez has seen him either but if that HITC article is true then i'd just think it odd that he can't get into our team but yet newcastle (surely the strongest team in the division) are interested
remember boro already took him on loan twice so they must have liked him after the first one. not surprised they're not interested now they've gone up because now theyre probably looking at much higher calibre players than we are

Jokanovic rates Betts and he will be our No.1 this season, so don't hold out any hopes of an experienced goalkeeper coming in. Who ever does come in, will be playing fiddle to Betts, or pushing him, hence the reason we're going for a Button type keeper. Jokanovic just doesn't fancy Joronen as backup.

Then whats the point in signing him? He's no better than Betts really, or not the McCarthy type keeper we all expected. Like I say, I've heard Jockanovic rates Betts, so it'll be intersting to see how this pans out. Like the Malone deal, it makes no sense.

As long as Betts becomes commanding then he should be number 1 for sure, if he doesn't I think its open to debate. Last year he came back in because he and Lonners were much of a muchness but if we got a good experienced commanding keeper then I don't know if Betts would be number 1
Quote from: Riversider on July 15, 2016, 01:23:32 PM
The daft thing is David Bentley is a very highly rated keeper, hence the reason why Brentford are seemingly allowing Button to move on,
So therefore then why didn't we sign Buttons replacement for £500k ? Surely that would have made more sense ,
QPR and Brentford have all done some good business recently at very low cost, Bidwell to QPR £1.2 m Cousins to QPR £1.3 m and Bentley to Brentford £500 k , that's 3 good players who all could have done a job for us and only around £3 million spent ! Good work by both clubs.

Quote from: Statto on July 15, 2016, 02:35:31 PMSee above, I agree a big strong no5 would be excellent. I am just saying I think so far, we have improved the defence and I think Joka is looking to make the hole team quicker, more athletic and better quality.Quote from: FulhamStu on July 15, 2016, 11:04:31 AMI don't disagree mate, I am just saying that I think we have improved the defence. As you say a big strong no5 and an upgrade to the keeper and job done.
We have now signed 3 defenders so those saying we are not improving in that area are really saying we have not bought in the right type of defender. You don't get much bigger than Burn and that was not the answer so I think Jokanovic is looking for players more comfortable on the ball athletic and quicker.
Burn may have been tall but he was still very weak. Add to that he was incredibly slow, and generally just poor all round to be honest. I still firmly believe we need at least one big, strong CB in this division, and i'm not persuaded otherwise by the fact that the last tall CB was relatively poor in every other respect.

It's a weird one as I feel these decisions are what stopped the likes of Hyndman coming through. We already had Parker Tunnicliffe LVC and signed Cairney, then we signed Ohara and that wasn't enough, we had to get matilla and completely block the path through for emmo. And even then we brought in Ince on loan.
This could do the same for Sessengon who looks really classy and good enough to be the under study to odoi especially as we have Ream as backup. I won't include Kavanagh as imo he isn't a contender. But getting Malone makes him effectively 4th choice I'd imagine and I'm not sure that's the right way to go again.
I think you're right that Malone will be backup to Odoi. The only reason I see the deal making sense is personal reasons. Malone was at Millwall prior to Cardiff so he gets a move back to London, Richards likewise to Wales.
Other than that it's a bit of a pointless trade on the face of it. But no doubt Cardiff fans who have seen him play possibly twice or so against us will believe he is amazing thanks to his Wales cameos in qualifying.
I've also been told Jazz is one of the so called bad eggs that were damaging to team morale around the camp, if that's the case it will be a big improvement to the squad if this Malone lad is a good team player with the right attitude. Either way I don't think many will miss Jazz, he was poor for us.

Richards is in Cardiff for the usual. Malone has already agreed terms etc and we are just waiting on Cardiff pushing through swap for Richards.
All a bit odd as Malone will be back up at LB. While Richards is a Euro Cup squad star and our number one RB. Oh hold on. Too late to try and up the price. Oh well a fair swap then if it happens.
It's a weird one as I feel these decisions are what stopped the likes of Hyndman coming through. We already had Parker Tunnicliffe LVC and signed Cairney, then we signed Ohara and that wasn't enough, we had to get matilla and completely block the path through for emmo. And even then we brought in Ince on loan.
This could do the same for Sessengon who looks really classy and good enough to be the under study to odoi especially as we have Ream as backup. I won't include Kavanagh as imo he isn't a contender. But getting Malone makes him effectively 4th choice I'd imagine and I'm not sure that's the right way to go again.

With all the other problems over the last few seasons Richards got away lightly regards his performances for us.
I may be telling you all something you already know but frankly he never played a good game from the start as far as I remember and any time the team needed to stand up and fight and he was on the pitch, he went missing.
So its good riddance from me !

Very hard to find news about us now we're down in this cr@p league but based on what I've read (mostly on here) over the last few weeks my guess is Madl, Ayite and Odoi cost about £4m altogether
Certainly no more than we got for Mitroglou, not to mention Stekelenburg, Hyndman and Dembele
I was expecting a net spend of £10m+ and currently I reckon it's about -£3m
We've made a few canny deals but Khan hasn't put his money where his mouth is yet, that's for sure

Do you ever think that Khan may be investing heavily in the club itself, and that securing decent players doesn't need a big outlay. Look at Grabban, he cost £8m, and is distinctively average.
The guy is a multi-billionaire enjoying the best exchange rate for 30 yrs who's basically f-ed up the club so my expectation is he'll spend EVERYWHERE he can to remedy that, not only on the team or only on infrastructure
However he's shelved the Riverside for at least another year so clearly he isn't spending on infrastructure, so that only leaves the team anyway
Yes of course I accept securing decent players doesn't always need a good outlay but generally if you want quality it will cost you.
Players like that Italian goalkeeper (gollini), grant Hanley and Gayle are being signed right now by clubs who are prepared to pay for them and we are sitting here, no doubt haggling over an extra £250k for Kevin McDoinald
in any case the point is currently we've still signed NO ONE in the key positions.

Why do people act like the amount of money we've spent means anything? We have got in good players if anything its a bonus that we have managed to do it without spending a lot of money.
Because it's less than 3 weeks until the season starts and we're still weak in the key areas, centre back, central midfield, and arguably goalkeeper as well. And we haven't replaced Dembele. So we still need the whole spine of a team and they need to be quality.
If we manage to find high quality players in those positions in the next week or so, without spending a lot of money, then I'll be very happy of course.... seems unlikely to me however

Quote from: Statto on July 16, 2016, 01:52:51 PMI was under the impression that the Chairman Could put into the club an extra 33 million over and above what the club earns over the next 3 years.
@jolslover i could be persuaded regarding bettinelli and macdonald but regarding CB we'll have to agree to disagree because for me that was priority no1 this summer and two more lightweights (madl, kalas) aren't the answer
j.perkins i don't know our exact financial situation but what i do know is this is our last year in receipt of parachute payments, £10m this year, and there are no more high earners to offload now stek and trog have gone. so it follows that next summer's budget will be £10m less than this one. So if what we've spent this summer, -£3m, really is the most khan is permitted to put into the club then i can only assume the business is operating at a huge loss (transfers aside) and next summer we'll have to raise £13m from player sales before we buy anyone, just to avoid another embargo

"Why can´t these greedy individuals be content with what they have been offered."
I don't think "greedy" is fair.
Footballers are best thought of as self-employed folk with a relatively short main career lifetime who contract with employers (the clubs) for mutually agreed periods. Why is it "greedy" to move to a new employer on a new fixed term contract if the terms are better?
The only players with whom I take issue are those who try to force a move, before the end of their contracts, by refusing to play/not giving 100%. I suspect there are only a few of these, though.
It is unrealistic to expect "club loyalty" from players or managers - it is only long term supporters like us who give that!
Is it greedy to want to earn as much as you can? No, not necessarily, because most of us want to do that.
But is it greedy to want more when you're already earning more than most of us can even dream of earning? Arguably, yes.
To give some context, even a normal championship footballer's salary equates to £500k-£1m per year. So even a fairly average player is likely to have earned £10m by their early thirties. For top players, multiple those figures by ten or more.
And yes, they do have short careers as footballers, but there's nothing to stop them continuing to work after that like ordinary people, either in an ordinary job like plumbing, or in another of the relatively lucrative fields they've exclusive access to like coaching, scouting or punditry.

Our owners birthday today.
What's our net transfer spend?
£5m for Mitroglou, presumably a couple more for Stek, Dembele and hyndman combined
Can't have spent more that £4m on Madl, Ayite, Odoi
So it looks like rather than delivering the promised investment this summer, Khan has taken a few million out the coffers to buy himself a birthday present
Ayite was repoerted in France as aropund €2,500,000, Odoi was around €1,000,000 per Belgian press, Madl I have seen othing but guess a fee was agreed when we loaned him.

I can't tell if you're disagreeing because your figures seem almost identical to mine.
Yes they're estimates but they'd have to be Wrong by a very large degree for our net spend so far to be even slightly positive.
So we can say with a very high degree of confidence that we've spent substantially nothing so far.
Of course the season doesn't start for another 17 days and we could announce a £20 million triple swoop this afternoon. But the clock is ticking.

I tend to agree with your comments about being shrewd, I do think that maybe you need a marquee signing (for the want of a better term) at times certainly if you want to find a striker. I do temper the we have done pretty good business part as a lot of people on the board said the same last year and look what happened to us.
Hopefully htis year the managerr has a plan and the lads execute it.

Quote from: hovewhite on July 19, 2016, 10:55:55 AMI agree, but as I keep saying everyone seemed happy last summer too, so for me we need to temper our ambitions and expectations as otherwise everyone just gets on the team and coahcing staffs back after the first game. We have probably the toughest first game we could have got.
Surely it's about quality more than amounts spent and I'm happy with the new players so far as I can be at this stage.

Hard to find a way back for Jazz after his game at Brentford when he was eaten alive. Might as well try another player for no pounds.

If Fulhm sign Rhodes there will be a lot of egg on faces on here. Sadly don't see it happening but one can dream.
Can you imagine the sort of partnership him and McCormack could make.

The money being mentioned now for some transfers is getting rather silly.
That is of course if we are to believe everything we read,Stoke just making 13 million bid
for Joe Allen,lot of money for him but the going rate I suppose.
Think there is better than Dunk out there...

Dead in the water it seems.
Didn't join the pre-season game against Brighton.
Apparently got a knock in training and agent talking to other clubs now as Fulham only take him if he is fit.

On the other hand, isn't just as likely that Ross' injury is one that will last longer than the trip to Portugal and that is the reason he hasn't travelled?

He just doesn't get injured. Guarantee he's off.

Why do people think we will spend the money. We have a proven goal scorer so letting him join a rival in the hopes we find someone else who can replace his goals is a huge risk. I for one really hope he stays or goes to the prem at least
Khan has always spent since he's been here so no reason to believe he won't spend.

Defoe is a really good striker but he isn't worth £6m or anything like it. He can play alongside almost anyone and will score goals but there is a realistic price for him and it is much, much closer to £1m.
Quote from: Tooting legend on July 22, 2016, 10:15:31 AMSums up most of twitter
Defo rumour has no legs, there's nothing on any sites, its just yet another made up rumour just to get attention. if someone can provide proof that we are lodging a bid then i will be the first to aplogise.

Anyone paying money for Defoe is insane. He's at the end of his career. I wouldn't want him on a free given his wages that are disproportionate to the rest of our squad.

Still need that holding midfielder who can defend, lead and support the back line, while comfortable on the ball, this even more important than a quality CH IMO.

Sessegnon would be a really good signing although he isn't prolific in terms of goals.
My Albion mate is really surprised they let him go, apparently he worked hard under Pullis as is also very creative.
He can play wing or number 10 but my Albion mate says he's best out wide.
Quote from: river phoenix on July 22, 2016, 04:19:51 PMYou know about the lad good? So do I having watched him live numerous times for Genk and Anderlecht when I was living out in Brussels, I would not say it was a coup. He is a very good player in a weak league, I would say in our league that he would be decent and solid but not outstanding. He is no Kouyate the man he basically replaced at Anderlecht.
We are linked with Kara Mbodj from Anderlecht. Now that would be one heck of a coup, Senegal international, defensive midfelder/centreback, 192 cm tall...

He is no Kouyate, sure... but Kouyate is amazing player and one of the most important players of a very good Premiership team. We are now level below so no comparation here.
Kara Mbodj is a good player for the level we are in and he plays positions of our need - a physical and tall defensive midfielder/centre back.

A far better player than he was credited for by many on this board. Off the field I followed him on Twitter and he came across as an articulate, intelligent, family-orientated man keen to make the most of his time in an unfamiliar country and to integrate himself into the ethos of the UK. It was quite clear from his tweets that he really cared about the cli and was always one of the first to congratulate one of his teammates from an individual achievement such as an international call-up through to a birthday or anniversary. There were also many messages with the COYW hashtag before an important game. I thinks his splendidly graceful, farewell to the club, his teammates and supporters show the measure of the man. Good luck for the future Nando and thanks for you efforts on behalf of FCC.

Quote from: Statto on July 25, 2016, 10:11:01 AMI can see that as we then dont have to accept any fee at all, however then we could be in a position where Ross forces a move with poor attitude behaviour and we accept a lot ledd than the 15 million, so bette rof keeping the clause without a date, especially for a soon to be 30 year old.Quote from: westcliff white on July 25, 2016, 09:47:30 AM

it's only ever the player that would seek a min fee release clause in the contract, not the club. so if there is one, presumably mccormack asked for it and we compromised by saying, ok we'll put it in there but let's say it falls away after 30 June

That could happen with Ross as well could it not? date or no date of the amount is met we have to let him speak to them if he wishes too
I am just trying to understand the logic of having a date the clause expires or not having a date. My initial feelings are release clauses at a value are usually asked for by the player, but I can also see a club suggesting it to entice a player to sign a deal.
If the clause has expired then you reject the offer. So If Dembele 1st's clause had expired in June then Spurs bid £15m at the end of August then we could have said, sorry chaps you're 2 months too late stroll on

From what I can tell, he's more of a central than attacking midfielder, but at least it would solve the height problems!!!

Quote from: rusty shackleford on July 27, 2016, 09:07:51 PMno one has said that he is crap? And stats are the first thing anyone looks at when you buy an attacking player. Doubt Norwich are after Ross because he is a good egg in the dressing room
The 4 stages of being linked with a playet on FoF
1. Have never heard of him
2. Go on wikipedia and look at his goalscoring record and what league he plays in
3. Paste said stats here and say hes crap
4. Patiently await the next link to write off

Apparently they second richest after Man City.
They're not rich; their owner is rich
But then if you rank all clubs by how rich their owners are, we're also right up there, "richer" than most of the big premiership clubs and far "richer" than we were under al Fayed
And look how it's turning out for us: likely to spend a third successive season with the only realistic objective being (based on signings so far) to avoid relegation to league one 090.gif 051

He is highly rated by Montpelier, He playe don loan at Nimes last season and scored a few for them. Young Gabonese player. Similar to MD

Steve Mounie, interesting. I cannot see single word about him leaving for Fulham on Montpellier forum, though. Montpellier is my favorite french club, btw.
He is a talented player, tall and reasonably quick (so he has a right physical characteristics for english football, imo), recently signed a new contract and is being touted as their starting striker for the new season. On the other hand, I don`t see him being valued at 6M pounds since he hasn`t played in League 1 yet.
Montpellier have a couple of interesting young players like Morgan Sanson (attacking mid), Casimir Ninga (forward) and Jerome Roussilon (left back).

Quote from: howitis on July 28, 2016, 10:49:11 AMYou tube clips are what they are, but the 3rd goal the first header was very impressive, showing desire and a I will get that beofre anyone attitude.
Well if the you tube footage of Mountie is anything to go by he looks to have a few good attributes. Good close control, awareness, strong in the air. Doesn't look the quickest is certainly the right age and paying 6 million for an up and coming striker is positive news. We would need another 2 strikers in addition when Mc leaves.Would still love to see a really quick goal poaching forward to compliment what we have. I thought Gayle would have been perfect for us. Is anyone aware of any players like this in League 1/2 worth a punt ? Nakhi Wells from Championship ??

What could possibly go wrong?

So Ross goes with his goals, and we get an unknown in to
replace him.
We will have to wait and see, has worked before, lets hope so
again.

Montpellier chairman Laurent Nicollin confirms contact with Fulham but denies that a deal is struck between the clubs, claiming Fulham's bid to be way too low:
"If there was an offer not refusable, it looks like" yes ", but it is not. It is very far." And adds: "We received an offer from Fulham but far short of the 6 million promised by the player's agent and I find it ridiculous that I think we ride and, for me, Mounié. will stay."

This sounds like Fulham. There is no way we will be spending 6m on a player. More likely we offered 2m which is probably more like his true value. Ligue 2 can't be as tough as the Championship and this kid has only scored 11 professional goals, sounds like the agent is all over trying to make this happen so he can get paid.

KERALA LAND HUGHES
Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters, co-owned by Sachin Tendulkar, have announced the signing of former Newcastle and Fulham defender Aaron Hughes.
The 36-year old started three of Northern Irelands games at Euro 2016 and turned down an offer from Oldham to join Steve Coppells side.
Quote from: rogerpinvirginia on July 29, 2016, 12:57:27 AM
I can't see how 10-15 million is a good deal.
Who are we going to spend it on ?
With an improved defense and midfield + some added pace (and perhaps more to come)
Ross is our best chance of promotion, which is worth how much ?

Fulham headed by Slavisa Jokanovic aims at placing in the Premier League, the famous club wants to return where it belongs. Therefore, Slavisa Jokanovic largely seeking reinforcements, special wishes of his attackers, and one to be singled out. It is the top scorer of the Legion Warsaw, Nemanja Nikolic (28), as the "Sport". Serbian footballer who currently plays for the national team of Hungary in the forms of life, has so far scored four goals in a Champions League qualifier and impact the needle club in Warsaw.

Ross McCormack set to complete £12million move to Norwich as Fulham finally accept bid for their star striker
Norwich City will sign Ross McCormack from Fulham this week in a £12million deal.
The two clubs have been negotiating for weeks over the structure of a deal with two bids for the Scotland international turned down. However, they have now come to an agreement on the fee and are discussing how the payment is made.
McCormack has been keen to leave since the collapse of his move to Middlesbrough in January.
Though Norwich are in the Championship he believes they are better equipped to make a return to the Premier League.
The 29-year-old is one of the most prolific strikers in the Championship.
He has scored 42 goals in two seasons at Craven Cottage following an £11m transfer from Leeds United where he had scored 58 in 131 starts.
Alex Neil saw his Norwich team relegated from the Premier League last season, their lack of a regular goalscorer coming back to haunt them.
Neil has Steven Naismith and Cameron Jerome available to him for the season ahead and with McCormack added into that mix, he will have a strike force likely to be the envy of every other Championship side barring perhaps Newcastle United.
Both sides are the overwhelming favourites to win promotion in the campaign ahead and bounce straight back into the top-flight at the first time of asking.

Quote from: Finnegans Wake on July 31, 2016, 10:22:27 AMid imagine that players remain friends no matter what happens. i still go out with ex work colleagues from time to time, as i imagine footballers do too. plus its just as likely that we want to cash in as it is ross wants to leave. at the end of the day if ross wants to stay that bad he can just refuse to sign for anyone forcing us to retain him or pay up his contract. and like wise, if the club dont want him to go then they can just refuse to sell him unless there is a clause that has been activated. the fact that neither ross or the club have commented on the situation speaks volumes to me, plus what i have heard, ill be amazed if ross is still here come september. whatever happens, the sooner it is sorted one way or the other the betterQuote from: Mince n Tatties on July 31, 2016, 09:44:48 AM

It does all seem very odd to me. Especially with that photo of half the squad at his for the BBQ over the summer. If he, as the media have said, asked to leave because he doesn't believe we`ll be good enough this season then surely it would make it quite awkward with the other players.

Real Murcia are my local club & are League 2, League 1 at best. Eddy could not get in the 1st team & was sent out to Cordoba on a season loan. Very much a squad player. Real Murcia are in the 3rd tier which is split into 4 groups. They have misses out in the play offs for the last 2 seasons for promotion to League 2. Not much money in the club so €200k is a windfall. Nice modern stadium & only costs €15 for a seat.

Well, I would say he was above Real Murcia current level so they were sending him on loan to Primera clubs (Granada and Eibar) and Cordoba, which was one of the better Segunda teams (5th place last season).

Regarding Steve Mounie, it looks like we offered 2.5M€ (which is probably his value right now), not 7.5M€ like Sun said. Montpellier is not interested in selling him for that price.

Personally I think the current team has a better balance, remember last season how slow we were getting the ball forward, and we were all moaning. Now look at the current team and you are a massive difference we are actually frightening teams with our pace plus we are scoring goals all this without Ross in the team. I think this season we will see more players scoring as a team rather then one player banging in 20 goals. Yes I think a replacement is needed and I believe we wouldn't sell Ross without having this inplace. Here's to a great and exciting season.

If you're using his goal against Barcelona as a make weight to back him up as anything more than a League 1 striker then you're nuts. Tap in from a mistake that anyone on this board would have finished. He's scored 12 in three years for Wolves in League 1 and became 'prolific' when we went North, which pretty much anyone could be.

The Nastajic rumour was tweeted by 'transfer rumour bot' which is a bot that makes up rumours. Not sure why it is being discussed.

Its all speculation and rumours but some people close to Villa are suggesting its 12 with add ons. If that's the case I think we've got to take it.

Apparently we got rejected by Slobodan Rajkovic, big and strong left-sided central defender, who opted to join Palermo instead. So I guess it's fair to say we're probably still in for that type of defender.

There are so many great players that nobody had heard of before signing at clubs - so that is not a reason to discredit Mounie (if he comes). Signs are that most of signings this summer are more astute than recent years.

A few thoughts here....
If he wanted to stay, all he ever had to do was come out and say it. Even if the club were looking to sell, they wouldn't have stopped it as it would only make his sale price more firm..
SJ has said that he wanted to build the squad around Ross.
Matt Smith said in an interview just released today (I believe) that the club wanted Ross to stay.
All of this is, admittedly, fairly circumstantial but there is more evidence that the club wanted Ross than there is that Ross wanted the club.
Aaaaand if he's wanting to move to pastures new on top of us getting a reported 14 million for him, it's high time to say 'adios muchacho'. Very good business on our part for once. At least in the rumor mill, we had a league leading goal scorer for a while and we profited on the transfer business to boot. Can't do much better.
Time for Khan and Fulham to put up or finally shut up about "doing whatever it takes". You have the money for two or three very good players. Go make believers out of us!
Quote from: Statto on August 03, 2016, 12:21:12 AM
Ok so comparing back of a fag packet calculations with a more 'pro-club' poster on here the other day, he guesstimated our remaining budget at £8-10m. I thought more like £15-20m.
So adding this sale, if Khan really is funding the club to the full extent FFP permits, we should now have £20-30m to spend this month.
Let's see how much we actually do spend.

Quote from: howitis on August 03, 2016, 10:00:19 AM
Let's be clear on this. McCormack did not request a transfer and did not force himself away from Fulham.
Indeed Fulham decided that it was good money considering his age and were very willing to trade at the right price.
We could have very easily kept mc but decided not to.
What happens next is anyone's bet but like many I'm not confident that we have either the scouting network or the desire to spend the sort of money that will provide us with replacements that can harness the same amount of goals as Dembele and McCormack.
Let's give the club a couple of weeks to prove us wrong otherwise I think it's time the fans at matches let mr khan and the directors know exactly what we think.

I have seen clips of Steve Mounie and he certainly better than Frank Large, and maybe the teams he played against in those clips were of a lower standard, and maybe not. He is certainly not rubbish. He looks about 6'3", around 22, he looks quick, strong with good upper body strength. He scored his goals from outside the box, inside the box, in the air from a standing position, also whilst attacking the ball from a running position, and in flight running with the ball, he reminds me of a young Louis Saha.
But what do I know.
The 4 players you mentioned, of course they are the kind of players we could do with. But historically and recently we tend to go for the ones that will cost two sheep and a goat.
But rubbish Steve Mounie ain't, and we have done and could do far worse. ⚽️

I don't think Cauley Woodrow should be written off. He's needed more time to develop, it's true, but given the same amount of game time as Dembele got last season, I'd back him to bag 15 goals - maybe even match Moussa's tally for us.

And then we can sell him the following summer and replace him with someone who is probably out hunting pokemon right now on their summer holidays

Everton manager Ronald Koeman appears to have signalled his intentions regarding his squad after five players were not given a shirt number for the forthcoming season.
Strikers Oumar Niasse, Conor McAleny and Leandro Rodriguez, winger Aiden McGeady and defender Luke Garbutt were all left out of the initial allocation confirmed by the club.
Niasse, Everton's third most expensive signing for £13.5m, only arrived in January from Lokomotiv Moscow but managed just 152 minutes of competitive football.

Official Comment on the FFC site, we have accepted a bid from Aston Villa. Good Riddance, of course he did well for us over the last 2 years but i do not like a guy who signs several contracts then leaves.
Think Ross might have been forced out so to get funds to
bring players in...But thats not what it was supposed to be
Was it?
I will miss the best player we've had in a while.
You're having a laugh !
Why is that then ?
Only way we are going if that to get so called promised funds
But of course you know everything that goes on at the club
dont you know all.

Niasse and mcgeady might be worth a loan although I highly doubt we would be able to get the former

Odd for Fulham to announce a transfer before it is complete, even before a medical ? Wonder what has changed and why they have done this ?

Who is complete and utter rubbish, and before anyone says it, yes I have seen him play.
To replace Ross we need garunteed goals and assists at this level:
Jordan Rhodes
Cameron Jerome
Charlie Austin
Chris Martin
Are we realistically going to sign any of the above? No.

Better player than Tunnicliffe I would suggest and he's played at a much higher level than Cairney so difficult to compare, though I think the latter is probably more skilful.

Which makes me wonder why he would want to come to the Championship - all the more so to a club that finished where we did last season.
And herein lies our problem. He seems as if he is exactly the sort of player who, with a further addition-or-two, would transform us into a team with genuine play-off aspirations. But even if we can afford him, we can't force him to sign for us.

Quote from: copthornemike on August 03, 2016, 07:07:48 PMThis is it. Last year only Cairney weighed in from midfield to any extent. Looks like this bloke could (albeit unsure he and Tom would be playing simultaneously) and you'd fancy Ayite to do so as well. The overall effect might compensate to the tune of a dozen or so of the goals we'll be missing from the two departures.
Jozabed looks very interesting - scores with either foot and with his header
If Jokanovic could get a couple of the midfielders to score 10 or so each a la Derby then things post Ross might not be so bleak after all!

What repetitive replies are you making that aren't funny nose, and who says they aren't funny ?
the 'repetitive replies' phrase as you may or may not know, is nothing to do with me but an auto correct feature of the MB. So if I dare to make reference to the ridiculous appauling nature of our leadership, then unless I use new words each time I get my post ammended. Its a kind of cencorship that i discussed with mods. they apparently stop it happening but cencorship is nonetheless what it becomes because I am unable to freely restate what needs restating.
on a separate note, I heard on the BBC how wooly mamoths supposedly died out through lack of water.... i think they might just be hiding.
Yes, let me reasure you, Woolly Mammoths are hiding, and waiting for my signal to return, which will be as soon as fulhambeg admits he was completely and utterly and unreservedly wrong about Matt Smith.

So you would have prefered he didn't sign a contract and left on a free like Dembele?
Get a grip. Him signing a contract has potentially made us £12 million..
Quote from: toshes mate on August 04, 2016, 09:19:44 AM
I am betting that a) Jokanovic was pretty certain Ross wanted out all the way through; b) the idiots with the purse strings thought they could persuade him to stay because no one would offer the release clause fee written into the new contract; and c) Ross didn't get the anticipated vibe after the Villa bid that he was essential to Fulham's future because it never actually existed in the first place.... In other words the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing because neither are connected to a head.

Should we go for Pritchard?

ridiculous fee for Pritchard, not even sure he's completed a competitive 90mins since his injury for ENG u21's

Great news. For the first time in a very long time we finally look lime we may play an attacking style. With the other signings and ones to come, we are starting to look like the sort of team that pushes the top end of table. I think villa fell into the same trap we did.
I can't help but agree with you, think there are quite a few unmotivated players at Aston Villa - and they may find it hard to get back up...
We badly needed an overhaul and it looks like Joka is doing that very well.
Quote from: toshes mate on August 04, 2016, 09:19:44 AM
I am betting that a) Jokanovic was pretty certain Ross wanted out all the way through; b) the idiots with the purse strings thought they could persuade him to stay because no one would offer the release clause fee written into the new contract; and c) Ross didn't get the anticipated vibe after the Villa bid that he was essential to Fulham's future because it never actually existed in the first place.... In other words the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing because neither are connected to a head.

According to L'Équipe we've returned with an improved 5m offer (excluding add-ons) for Steve Mounié, after our 3m bid was rejected out of hand.

McCormack's record seems to show that he is a restless soul, a serial collector of signing on fees and improved contracts, moving sideways from club to club, never making progress up the ladder to the PL for example.
Do you therefore think that when Ross returns to the Cottage with Villa, some Fulham supporters will chant the same as Leeds supporters did when they played here, "Whose a greedy b@st@rd".

I think so many of you are hoping we allow Ross to leave that you are desperate enough to make up anything from.. Well anything !
Crazy supporters gone mad
Couldn't resist bringing this chestnut up ^^^^
IMO £12-14m is very good business and arguably in the realm of offers you just can't refuse
This issue now as we've already discussed at length is whether the £12-14m (and all the other money swishing around our current account) will be used to complete the job of building a top 6 team
Unfortunately we've already missed the first target which must have been to build that team before the start of the season

He's gone. Players go, and we got a fair price for him partially because of these contracts.
He was the shining light in a pathetic 2 seasons and is the only reason we're not in league 1 right now. He scored spectacular goals which sent ourselves screaming along with gentleman Jim and was as trusty as Berbatov from the spot. If you ever want to see two great penalties then watch the highlights of our 4-3 against Boro in the 2014/2015 season.
He didn't force a move out publicly and always gave his all on the pitch. He's motivated by money? Who here wouldn't jump at the offer of a better wage?
The bottom line is that he's left us in a place far better than we would be without him. He's left us with £12m to spend on a few decent players who may take us to the next level as a team, with more pace and balance - two essentials in the championship. So if anyone wants to boo him, then boo him, but I won't be joining you.

No, not when they arrive and not until they do something such as do well as a team in the cup or get picked for the their national squad. They need to get their heads down and do some work. There are to many in football in general who think that they have made it and go astray.
You don't publicise the arrival of the new office boy because one day you expect him to become managing director.

Last season was a blip for Matej, didnt get the service needed and many Reading fans still rate him highly as his overall play was good. He scored 6 in 4 in the cup which many people leave out when talking about last season. He played at Reading with massive pressure (He was their record signing even tho he was only a loan, and many thought he would guarantee promotion, so some fans and pundits were very quick to get on his back.)
He has had 2 prolific seasons in the champ with Watford (16 and 20) and is a very pacy player that I think would fit right in here. Also Slavisa knows how to get the best out of him.
I think he would have been/ is one of the first names on Slavisas shortlist when it comes to strikers.

But how much did Vardy cost LCFC ? Having said that, can you imagine the uproar on this forum if we bought a Protégé ? The club considered to be scrimping I would suspect.

Jokanovic was impressed with his new signings as he gave competitive debuts to seven players, but he wants the £12m earned from the sale of Ross McCormack to be reinvested.
"We need to make investment and generally it's £12m more. It doesn't make sense to spend less than this £12m," he said.
"Matt Smith is part of my team but I expect to sign four or five more players that will be ready to come into the team."

No one else rates Cyle Larin, the young Canadian Intl that is tearing up MLS in the US? I realize the competition isn't as strong, but what do think of some of his goals? I think many are very well taken and there is no doubt he will be moving to Europe in the near future. I imagine he'd be available for next to nothing.
Not to mention he's 20 years old, 188cm, deceptively fast, very strong, and very good in the air.
No one else thinks he'd make a great prospect to get before his price rises?

I understand that, and I'm not saying he's the next Messi.... but if you can get a 20 year-old International for probably less than £500,000, I think he's worth a punt.
He broke the rookie scoring record by 5-6 goals last year and is amongst the top scorers this year at 20 years old, and none are penalties, as Kaka take those for his team.
Oh well, I'll stop, as I'm sounding like the lad's agent, but I really think he's going to make some team very happy they took the chance on him.

In accordance with FIFA Regulations, international clearance is required for any player over the age of 10 who is seeking to register for a club in England and has previously been registered for a club abroad (including the other Home Associations), or who is a foreign national seeking to register for the first time in this country.
You would think it would not take very long in the modern world, but it does sometimes seem to.

But only if the budget stretches, for me a better option than Vydta who has been pony the last 18 months
Not particularly hot on Mounie but there does need to be a sense of urgency in our search for a striker. It was clear even in a very good performance against newcastle that with matt smith up front we are reliant on cheap goals. It's quite criminal how we've been allowed to start the season in this position.
With regard to CBs looking at our fixtures I can see Madl and Kalas handling beckford perhaps but a better test will be a big boy like chris wood when we play leeds (16th) or zorhore and gounongbe when we play cardiff (20th). IMO we want a strong CB stepping in for one of those games
you'd hope mackintosh and rigg are looking at the games ahead of us and thinking the same thing but you can bet a pound to a penny they'll drag each signing out to deadline day if it saves £250k

In the other 10% of cases maybe the selling club/player genuinely aren't playing ball but those cases you identify quickly, walk away and look at other options instead.
This may be the reason why we haven't added a striker to the squad, but it's not the only reason; there are several other possibilities....Quote from: Arthur on August 07, 2016, 02:58:51 PMFine if they're hugely better. But more than 10% of the season happens before transfer deadline day. So if you get someone 10% better (or 10% cheaper for that matter) you haven't benefited by waiting.
It may consider that, in biding its time, it stands a chance of bringing in somebody of a significantly higher calibre towards the end of the window.
I'll leave it to others to go through the other cliches but to get the ball rolling...
- other clubs manage to sign players before the season starts
- we don't seem to have had a problem selling players before the season starts
etc etc...

For me Vydra has been poor for 18 months his record since his break through seasons is 22 in 100 games, away from Watford he has 6 in 54, so for me replacing 40 goals with him will be very difficult.

Agbonlahor has wasted himself last few seasons and lost his way, but does have pace and maybe something to prove. We have had a few of them over the years and a new challenge might work.
I'd not write off either, and if we got both we would be better squad for it.

This transfer wasn't even a closely guarded secret , the links to him and QPHa have been knocking about all summer, why we're getting linked with the likes of Wells and Nugent etc when there is still talent like this about in Europe is beyond me,
Earlier on this season they also bought the much lauded Jason Cousins from Charlton for £1.3 million, a very good player that I would have been delighted at if we had signed him, so they've got Cousins and Ngbakoto for less than £3 million,
In the same way that we got Odoi, Madl and Ayite for great money I really hope that we don't sign a journeyman now for silly money.

Trouble with Nugent is he seems to dry up, he scores a few
when he moves to a club then struggles...2011-2015 Leicester
54 goals and Boro 8 from 38 games, not the greatest of averages.
In his favour is he does create for others with his style of play.

I just don't understand this at all.
If you are prepared to forget the baggage with which he would come, which would be mighty charitable of you seeing as he comes, as I have recorded above, with more baggage than the cargo hold of a cruise liner, then OK. But the idea that he would come to a second tier outfit just to sit on the bench defies any kind of logic.
At his best - if he were ever able to recapture that - he would be a top class International striker.
Modest self-evaluation is one of the myriad of good qualities he lacks.

Slavisa Jokanovic has opened up on the final plea he made to just days before the ex- Fulham striker joined Aston Villa.
The Whites head coach failed, and so did the £12 million forward when he missed a decent chance to put his new side ahead against Sheffield Wednesday yesterday and was subbed straight after on 77 minutes.
Joka had set his stall on the hope Mac would allow a Fulham side to be built around him - but the Scotland international was having none of it.
"I was very honest with him and he was very honest with me," Fulham's gaffer added.
"I started working with the team while I was waiting for the solution of this situation, but I spoke with him a few times and supported him to stay with us and he simply decided to press for the different way.
"A few days before I offered him to build a team around him but he didn't accept.
"I didn't want him to be stuck so having decided to stay with him I also supported the decision to sell him. He is a fantastic player so it is a killer and I'm sure he going to score the goals for other clubs he scored with us."

Quote from: @jolslover on August 09, 2016, 02:15:45 PMare you putting him ahead of Smith and Cauley though? And who ever we get in to replace Ross too. He will be fourth choice so what's the point. Would rather give what little game time that is available to one of our own.
Because James Wilson is clearly way ahead of Stephen Humphrys. A man who wasn't even given a squad number. (I've watched him number of times for 21s and vs. Crawley, dont get me wrong think hes got the potential to be a good player, but lets not be silly.)

If we can get Wilson, with an option to buy I'm all for that. He's looked a good prospect for years and will never play under Mourinho.
On the Kalas subject, I doubt that he'll stay at chelsea. He's at an age where he needs to be playing, and although he's good, I dont think he's at an aspiring Champions League club level

Deary me, read the whole sentance... Great player TO HAVE IN THE SQUAD. Becuase he can play in several different positions. Positions barely have any backup in atm. Don't think anyone is touting him to be a world class player, but he did a decent job for a very good Brighton side last year.

Because we're getting a player that can fill in for the new striker, Aluko and Cairney. So a great player to have in the squad.
And what evidence is he a great player as you say?
Deary me, read the whole sentance... Great player TO HAVE IN THE SQUAD. Becuase he can play in several different positions. Positions barely have any backup in atm. Don't think anyone is touting him to be a world class player, but he did a decent job for a very good Brighton side last year.

And those comments are as likely to be driven by the "well he's not coming back to us. he's crap then." attitudes that happen everywhere as they are to be accurate assessments of the player.
Funny how attitudes change when a player leaves....sometimes anyway.

What premier club is going to want Mournie?
Good question. If he's well advised at all, he'll know that if any PL club snap him up he'll almost certainly be loaned out to a lower league or play U21's. And if that's the case, then he's just after the larger paycheck. Understandable but, is that the kind of player we want for Fulham? Might be time to move on to the next on the list.

Why not? Easy enough to wait until midway thru the window, pop open the ol' twitter acct, search #ffc, and start compiling. Simples. No need to waste time planning prior to the window. Twitter knows and rates all. Just cherry picking left to do the last week of the window.

Liking the Clough rumours but can't help but think that it may be at expense of Cairny. Naki Wells has always impressed me too. Both would be good signings.
Gabby and Nugent; not for me thanks.
Weren't the Clough and Wells mentions just wish list targets from posters rather than rumours and even if rumours weren't they from some time ago?

He might work well with the quickness on display on Friday but he is a little squirt.
The little 'squirt' scored twice against us last season in the 2-2 draw at Bolton.

Wilson can play through the middle or wide and is quick. He is still young and is part of the Man United squad, although maybe being pushed down the order so must be worth a squad place for us. My only reservation would be his attitude, which I have no idea about however he is a young lad and Parker is more than capable of keeping him in his place if necessary.
I just went through the Champoinship ins and outs and apart from the exe Prem clubs, nobody has spent anything of note. Interestingly the current report shows us as having a current surplus of nearly £13 million. Looks to me like the bigger deals are waiting, expect a rush towards the end of the window when agents will have maximised their demands and everything will kick off. I would not be suprised to see us spend another £20 million, which we could easily do without impacting FFP.

Paredes is a top rb. Odoi prefers to play left back. Malone is decent but a squad player. Sess is still young. Kav and Grimmer are not good enough. Fred is an injury liability but a good sub.
After doing the maths I think this transfer makes a lot of sense and would make us better. He knows Joka and how to get promoted through Watford so all round quite excited about this if true

Seville are in for Jozabed, who originally came up through their youth ranks (2010-13), before going to Ponferradina.
http://www.estadiodeportivo.com/sevilla/2016/02/20/deseado-jozabed/63279.html
Not only that Éver Banega can go and Sevilla need, in that case, one or two parts for next season is that Jozabad Sanchez 's house, is very talented and only 24 years (he turns 25 on 8 March). Moreover, by subtracting just one year contract, it is presented as a market opportunity for any team.
In fact, their agents know that it is common to go 'scouts' to follow in his footsteps on the steps of Vallecas every Sunday and have already received calls from Italian clubs, English and German.
Playing behind the tip (now Miku, before Javi Guerra), the Mairena del Alcor has become the new Alberto Bueno de Paco Jemez. No, in fact, a Spanish midfielder highest scoring across Europe. Jozabad also has made Trashorras when the 'brain' of the Madrid team has failed because it has qualities (standard, speed and accuracy) to organize the game a team.
In the Sanchez Pizjuan are no strangers to the evolution that is experiencing the Sevilla squad, for whom already spoken on occasion this season informally, but their agents (Juanma Lopez, Enrique Rosado and Jose Mari Romero) declined to comment to respect.
The future, in short
Anyway, the future of Jozabad is out of Rayo Vallecano , where only detracts a contract year, and stakeholders are moving fast to tie the player, so the Seville , of wanting the attacking midfielder was back to his house, you must make a decision about it soon. For now, the playmaker continues to attract scouts every time you play a match.

Anyway, the future of Jozabad is out of Rayo Vallecano , where only detracts a contract year, and stakeholders are moving fast to tie the player, so the Seville , of wanting the attacking midfielder was back to his house, you must make a decision about it soon. For now, the playmaker continues to attract scouts every time you play a match.
Wouldn't be too surprised if the hold up was due to other offers and/or late interest from other clubs.
However the date on that article is back in February.
So what happened to last weeeks medical and the Twitter boys saying he'd signed...
Tune in again for another episode of this highly acclaimed soap opera...Hilarious.

Seville are in for Jozabed, who originally came up through their youth ranks (2010-13), before going to Ponferradina.......

I'm sure it's a spot on accurate account of the situation as it was on 20th February but things have probably moved on by then. I know this one has been a slow mover...but not this slow.
Quote from: HillingdonFFC on August 10, 2016, 02:17:03 PM
Definitely something going on with this Jozabed business, surely would've been announced by now ?
Quote from: Horsfield_No9 on August 10, 2016, 02:26:30 PM
Spanish tweet from 5hrs back says he is training with Fulham while small details are worked out. I'm not gonna hold my breath but at least slightly promising that he's training. Feeling like this is a Riise Liverpool situation and a lower half Prem team will swoop in.
Quote from: Nero on August 10, 2016, 09:36:03 AMMaybe I am being a bit harsh, but Bamford still has to prove it for me. I am only really going on what I have seen, and to be honest I didn't see much different from Woodrow. Assombalonga does not add anything in the way of finesse, but has scored a few and is a bit of a beast if I recall correctly, but worth £7million? especially with his injury problems?Quote from: Mince n Tatties on August 10, 2016, 09:05:51 AM
This morning's news..Wigan 3million bid for Bamford.
Norwich in 7 million deal for Assombalonga.
Id take them two for 10m, think Forest will want more then 7m

What is the tally we've spent this summer? £2m ish on 4-5 players? A few were on a free, right? Seems like all we have done is sold. Also, how much has the club made from our player sales? £15m?

Approx £21.5 m I would estimate.
To be fair we paid for Madl, Odoi, Button, McDonald and Ayite... must have spent £5-10m
I was expecting us to spend a good £10m net, which with player sales would mean £30m gross... can't see much chance of that happening now
even if we did spend that much now it would be pretty stupid because a substantial portion of the season will be gone by the time any more players have integrated

yes i often why all these other clubs buy and salary 25 players when you only need 11. mugs
but another 3 quality players could still cost another £20m anyway

Why 'spearhead'? We play a different type of formation now, it's not all about the target man up top, but a quick centre forward who can put the ball away. I think Vydra and Deany we only around 5' 11'. Wells is a bloody good player, short, but fast, and if I could compare him to anyone it'd be Defoe.

I suppose a rumour is just that an can be taken or left according to taste.
However, a fraction of a second's consideration shows that the second part of the so called reason just doesn't make sense:
FFC - "Our transfer system has identified your client as an excellent player ideally suited to our needs and we would like him to join us."
Agent - "Blimey. If your system shows that, it must be crap. No thanks."

If he's been training, perhaps it's just a formality of paperwork reqd to finalise the deal.

We all really need to understand Fulham will keep us guessing until it is official, done and dusted. And Slavisa is just too clever to let the media have a field day on anything other than little spats over stats.

Joka's castle is no distance and there are many in his family who prefer the moon to the sun.
This is extremely worrying, and precautions must be taken. From now on I propose that every new player " fresh blood " should be vigilantly checked to ensure they have no bite marks on their necks, and they are not suspiciously pale and anaemic.
Furthermore to reasure supporters, the club should present to each person coming through the turnstiles a Crucifix, a plate of Garlic, a Mirror and a Stake, and advised to stay in the Sun, to ensure their safety.

One year ago, Sporting signed Bryan Ruiz from Fulham for €1m.
This amount was never paid completely, so the clubs are now in talks to reach a friendly deal about the debt, O Jogo reports.
Instead of paying what's left, the newspaper reports that Sporting offered Fulham one of their youngsters on loan.
The strongest name for now is Wallyson Mallmann. The 22-year-old isn't considered to be ready for the Sporting first team, and after having a loan spell at Nice, he could end up landing in London soon.
The Brazilian made 20 appearances for the French side last season, having played both as a central midfielder as a number ten. Fulham are now considering the possibility of signing him, as they reportedly like the idea of having a player on loan instead of receiving the missing amount.
Wallyson played for City's U-18 and U-21 before signing permanently for Sporting in 2014 for €500k.

It was 4 or five wasn't it ?
Was that before Jozabad or after Jozabad's signing ?
We can all interpret whats been said about building a team etc however we like but does anyone think we have anywhere near enough signings for a good season ahead ?

Did he score with a bicycle kick? Were Madl and Kalas in problems with him throughout the game? And I'm really asking, as I was only listening to GJ. If they were clearly struggling, I'd say it backs your argument naturally. But can't see, how a big CB could have prevented the goal, if it was really a bicycle kick in after corner mayhem. I think that in those situations the errors have been done before (and I'm not referring to transfer market, necessarily... ;))
I get your point. The ball was at head height right in front of kalas and he didn't even challenge for it. So arguably it was just a poor, somewhat cowardly moment from kalas. But if you wanted to be kinder to him you could say wood's muscle gave him the space, or perhaps the height difference is so great wood can get his foot higher than kalas can get his head.

He has insisted in recent weeks that the Whites still need to make new additions if they are to mount a sustainable promotion challenge, despite bringing in nine new faces this summer and is understood to have identfied a number of suggested targets
Sky sources also understand that Fulham's recruitment team are working hard to back Jokanovic in the transfer market and expect to sign three or four new players before the deadline.

Maybe this will calm the reports of dissent or Khan not wanting to stump up the cash?
Anyone who's watched the club for five minutes this season sees the promise and sees exactly what "3-4" positions still need improving/better depth. Of course, we have to make the signings, but I'm going to assume the people at the club see what everyone else sees.
Quote from: Newry FFC on August 17, 2016, 06:42:59 PMLet's see where hull and borro end up. The problem with loans is you have to replace them and who ever leaves as well in the summer. You end up rebuilding your squad every year. And sometimes that can end up disastrously.
Because maybe some players are best suited to the championship and wouldn't survive in the prem, hence a temporary deal. Or alternatively we may want the player but the other club may dictate it's only temporary.
And also, Middlesbrough had 9 loans last season, hull had 3, loans can work for both sides

Quote from: Mince n Tatties on August 17, 2016, 09:19:50 PMHe is proven at youth and u21 level, at Brighton they loaded him wide which is why his record of goals to games wasn't too good. he can play there but he prefers to p,at through the middle. If we sign him I would hope it is s a squad player and we still sign another striker, he would offer good speed and give us more options as he can play 2 positions
Love the way they say impressed at Brighton.
5 in 28 games...I want a striker in who is going to do a lot
better than that.

Quote from: TimoFFC on August 18, 2016, 01:36:07 AMnot saying we shouldn't sign him, or that he isn't very good, but everyone has looked good against us in previous years. Everyone was raving about stearman and pringle because of how they played against us,and look hoq that turned out
Ben Marshall would be a good signing for us IMO. Has looked good whenever he has played against us.

It will be the last week of the window for this deal, then.
I can't envisage Blackburn selling him to us next week, for him to line up against them a few days later.

If they want him then they need to pay even more than they paid for Roberts.

The guy from Oostende is interesting as he looks quite sharp when I have seen him play, however he (if signed), Ayite and possibly Aluko could be lost for up to 6 to 8 weeks when the African Cup of Nations comes round that would be 3 of our frontline missing for an important period.

Have we been watching completely different games? Every game we've played thus far, our left side has been causing all kinds of havoc, and he's got some of the best footwork we've had in a winger in ages.

Had a cracking game v Newcastle and hasn't had a bad game yet. He has great ability, has been fantastic on the left both in attack and helping out the team tracking back and defending - don't underestimate the difference he ha made to our team balance.
He helps the shape of the team and has fantastic work rate. Links up really well with Sess / Aluko and epitomises the sort of attitude our team has been missing for the last few years.
In short - you must be high.

Wish I was high but sadly no.
I'm not denying he is not full of beans and has done well I'm just stating that out of the front 4 he is my weakest link and if we had some one with a final ball It would be great.

Decent passes and accuracy but not an assist yet. However I don't dismiss your point about a striker yes we do someone else up top.
I have found a good app which gives you every stat going.
Called goal+ on android.

When he turns 17 next May we can offer a max 3 year contract with no options.
At 18 we can then offer another contract. I'm not 100% sure on max length due to different rules in PL and FL, but at least a 3 year year one could be offered.
as it stands hes here till next summer

Good player that Hyndman is, he is yet another small, technical central MF player. Who would you play him instead of ? If anything we need more height and strength in central MF to play next to MCDonald. I have a similar question about Jezobed, where will he play ?

I have a similar question about Jezobed, where will he play ?Quote from: Ols_S on August 19, 2016, 11:27:08 AMQuote from: MJG on August 19, 2016, 11:21:54 AMI figured as much. Especially the way we had to play last season. Didn't really work out.Quote from: Ols_S on August 19, 2016, 11:12:35 AMHe would have done and SJ wanted him to stay but he had already made his mind up. Too many managers and broken promises.Quote from: MJG on August 19, 2016, 11:11:05 AMWould Hyndman have fitted in better this season? I was hoping to see more of the lad.Quote from: hopper on August 19, 2016, 11:04:28 AMQuestion is did any of them make a bid? One thing being chased and another actually fronting up some money.
I remember for a while Will Hughes was being chased by big clubs but stayed on at Derby and hasn't kicked on.
Did Moussa have options last summer?
Was told that despite all the talk, Dembele only had the one firm offer of Celtic. Just as Hyndman with Bournemouth.

I then assume another wide man / striker?Quote from: Ols_S on August 19, 2016, 11:37:06 AMAgree although at ?3.5 and with his pedigree, I would have thought he was bought as a starter. No way is Cairney going to be dropped anytime soon.Quote from: FulhamStu on August 19, 2016, 11:34:17 AMI don't know enough about Jozabed. Although I understand that he is a number 10.

Quote from: Jamie88 on August 19, 2016, 10:08:40 AMI'd like to see a rule whete, if the bigger club wants to buy them and send them out on loan they can only be loaned back to where he came from, for players like sess he is so young and it would not benefit him to be bounced around the country. if they have been developing well enough in the smaller club and not going to get first team games at the bigger club it would be a fair deal for all involved.
This talk about Sessegnon has got me wondering - has there ever been a case in recent times of a very young player turning down the chance of moving to a much bigger club knowing they can get matchtime at their current smaller club?
We always talk of the benefits of a youngster completing a few seasons in say, the Championship, before moving onto bigger and better things but does it ever happen whereby the player in question has actually said "No, I wont move to a big club just yet, I'll get my move in the future but for now I am getting valuable first team experience at a smaller club"
It would be refreshing to see this happen with Sessegnon but if previous talents that ourselves and other clubs have had are anything to go by, I feel it probably wont.
Quote from: FulhamStu on August 19, 2016, 11:46:01 AMIf you look at some positional maps as to where he has played it tends to be down the middle, defensve-central and attacking midfield
Could Jesobed play next to McDonald ?

Looks like we've been linked with the likes Wilson, Cyriac & Ben Marshall recently.
Personally, I think they could be good options and definitely an improvement for the squad in comparison to previous seasons.

Without a shadow of doubt.
A fit Essien, despite his age would be outrageous in midfield.
Alongside McDonald would be devastating.

Sky reporting Bassong to Fulham from Norwich as 7th in their football whispers list this afternoon. With a 4.3/5 likelihood of happening which seems pretty high, ahead of deals like Mustafi to Arsenal and Schlupp to West Brom which seem pretty likely. I would be happy with this as he would be a great back-up for Madl and Kalas and could step in when up against a bit more power upfront. This one seems pretty likely to go through then.
He was a big part of Slavisa's Watford side that went up on loan from Norwich if I remember rightly so there will already be a link there

Not overly, Slav joined in October that season and by Jan Bassong was recalled . 4.3/5 on a rumour, does this actually mean anything? They rate a rumour on the amount of people talking about it yet it remains a rumour?
He's been involved in 2 promotions, Metz and Norwich, and could possibly do a job but surely there's bigger priorities

I have a sneaky feeling they will be wanting to bring in another striker who is a big name. Maybe they will offload to save some money. Seems wilder transfers

Unless (and here's my paranoia) sess is sold, Odoi goes to left back and he wants more cover down the right

Twang -dont know how much you know about swedish football or Allsvenskan (which is a poor league by championship standards ) . As a swedish residant who watches alot of swedish football on Tv ,trust me, if we are after the likes of Tinnerman, even as a squad player, then I am worried.He makes fredricks look good on the ball.
We need considerably better players than him.
Quote from: Bronaldinho on August 20, 2016, 12:21:44 PMI saw him play for Charloi he is quite quick and powerful, scored a fair few goals for them if I remember rightly. AN Attacking midfielder.
Linked with Genk midfielder, Neeskens Kebano in the Belgian media.
Rumoured 4-5m euros.
Quote from: Mince n Tatties on August 20, 2016, 01:11:03 PMI agree, there is a left back at Southend Ben Coker, he looks very decent at that level (league 1), can defend (first job of a full back for me), can attack and can cross, seems decent. Would cost 100k plus no more than 200k. As a back up or to push Malone and Sess would be quite worth it for me. Saves money for elsewhere too
Do our scouts ever take a look at players in lower leagues, some of
these guys can actually play given the chance, continuously hearing
about foreign players none of us have really heard of.Just
a thought.

My opinion is that Rhodes is, indeed, an impressive goalscorer and, on balance, would welcome him here. I have always had a very slight reservation about him in that he doesn't always look the most sylph-like of figures.
I post the stats because stats are a (un-)popular topic right now and these are the facts and would produce a downward trend graph.
Your interpretation is interesting, but doesn't really hold up. B'burn finished 17th in Rhodes' first season, then 8th, then 9th and were 17th when he left (they finished 15th). As for the opinion that Middlesbrough paid 10 million quid for a player they didn't really need (each of his six goals affected the points M'boro earned in that match), you'll excuse me if I pass on that one.

Vydra sounds like several players we have had over the last several season. Good squad players if played in the right way by a manager who knows how to get the best out of them I.e. Pringle for examble.
If Joka wants him and can get the best out of him for FFC then let's get this done! :033:

Comparing Vydra to Pringle is a bit insulting to Vydra in my opinion. Ben Pringle had clear faults for all to see- He had very little pace, and very little skill, being unable to beat a man and his only real asset being a 'decent' cross. Ben Pringle career highlights are an average season where he somewhat stood out in a very poor Rotherham side.
Matej Vydra is pacey, skillfull and possesses a great shot with his only real weakness being his height. But this is not a problem when he is put in a team that keeps the ball on the floor, and plays him balls in behind defenders.
Ben Pringle is nothing more than a squad player for most championship sides, Matej Vydra could be viewed as a squad player for most premier league sides and a very good player at this level.
Quote from: FinFFC on August 22, 2016, 08:33:31 AMThis
I kind of understand people opposing loans compared to permanent signings. Multiple loans, if these players were to play important part in our team during the season, would leave us in a situation after this year, where we would have to find someone on their place next summer - again.
But what if we actually do get promoted? How many of the current crop of players would be good enough to play in the PL - and keep us up? Now, if we had, say 3-4 players of our this season's starting eleven / regular match day squad loaned, it would leave us in a situation, where we could
a) buy those players next summer, if we deem them good enough for PL (and their teams would let them go of course... and sure, they could cost us more if they helped us promote than they would cost, if we buy them now)
or
b) decide not to buy them, but use the increased income that PL status brings and buy much better players in their place --> we wouldn't have to worry about getting rid of them, since they would anyway go back to their own clubs leaving more money for us to pay salaries to those "better players"
And, if we can include buy-out clauses to the loan deals, we'd be in even better position, as we would pretty much have "best of both worlds" from the two options above.
Quote from: Chutney on August 22, 2016, 08:38:58 AM
You can tell which signings are stats team based by watching Tony Khan's twitter, he only retweets certain signing announcements, presumably the stats ones.
I could be wide of the mark here but it is odd that he doesn't retweet them all.
Quote from: Slaphead in Qatar on August 22, 2016, 09:53:03 AMwhich would be a huge own goal for miss brookes, who rubbished a report that the ross money would not be used.
Sadly I think loans are what we will get in the remainder of this window - hope i am wrong.
Quote from: MJG on August 22, 2016, 09:24:15 AMKalas provesd the point of has to be better than what we have, and he certainly is. Maybe he is playing for a full deal as maybe he wants to leave chelsea and play regulally.
Dont get me wrong, I'd always prefer full signings and we only have Kalas on loan..anyone doubting his effort?
But no you dont want run of the mill loans, but if it's someone we could not afford fully I'd take that. And for me any loan should be looked at almost as a guaranteed starter in the XI. They need to be that important.

Imo a guy who is on loan with an option to buy, has to prove himself if he wants to stay.
Not only was Garbutt disinterested last year but we also played him a lot. All to no avail.
I wondered at times if we had an agreement in the loan that we had to play him for a set number of games.
Personally i couldn't see why he kept getting picked.

Karacan not good goals ratio for 8 years at Reading 11goals.

No joke...So if a player gets in a position to score he shouldnt
because he central midfielder..Like someone said tell Frank Lampard
Some Goalkeepers have scored what he has.

Colleague says could be a good signing if 100% fit
Deal reached for Neeskens Kebano. 4,5m euro + another million if we get promoted.

Quote from: sipwell on August 23, 2016, 08:59:12 AMMerged this in as already mentione don this thread.
Belgian press is claiming that Fulham have bid for Congolese striker Neeskens Kebano. He is a very talented player with a lot of goal scoring and assist giving potential. He was very successful in his two years in Belgium. Interestingly, the discussion about the statistical analysis of the player can be brought into it too: he has a good chance-goal ratio, ...

Quote from: Hoppus on August 23, 2016, 09:01:28 AMagree he is more of an attacking midfielder / winger
Not a striker .. :-|
Quote from: Woolly Mammoth on August 23, 2016, 09:18:01 AMthis is one of the issues I have as well, its a critical part of the season too. Under Sir Alex I think Man Utd tryied to avoid signing african players due to this very reason
I don't see the point of signing players who will then go missing during the middle of the season due to the African Cup of Nations, absolutely pointless.
Quote from: westcliff white on August 23, 2016, 09:26:02 AMthe kids 20 with zero experience. He will not be a starter. And such is the gamble that he will probably end up in our under 23s.
if we do sign Pereria on loan from Man Utd, where will he play, who will he replace?
will be an interestingone this as like some I believe if you loan a player he has to be better than what you have, so maybe can be seen as a first choice starter. He is an attacking midfielder, so can he play a wide role as well, or does he have to be central say in the number 10 role.
Good to have options but not thiose that cause problems (not saying this will just thinking out loud)
Quote from: westcliff white on August 23, 2016, 09:26:02 AMIve seen him live once and was very impressed. But I do find it odd that this has blown up over him. I dont see him as a full time starter if I'm honest

This, we have top youngsters like LVC and Woodrow, if we are replacing them with youngsters on loan from other clubs that are not massive improvements then what is the point?

Very good point! Wilson has a much worse goals/games ratio for England youth teams than Woodrow too... Not saying that Woodrow > Wilson, but that it's certainly not obvious to me that it's the other way round. Think Wilson looks OK as a squad striker, when we already have 2 decent ones in Woodrow and Smith. We do need a good number 1 striker ahead of these guys

FULHAM INTERESTED IN GYAN
Fulham are interested in signing Asamoah Gyan on loan from Shanghai SIPG.
The former Sunderland striker has found his game time limited following the arrival of Hulk at the Chinese side, and it is thought he would welcome the opportunity to play under Slavisa Jokanovic.
There is still plenty of work to do to get this over the line, but sources claim the player could fly in this week for a medical.

There's a whole thread on here from people on this board who have emailed the club and registered their worries and support for Joka. They've recieved replies, and their concerns have been passed on.
They're never going to release press conferences every few days being like 'guys we're doing this, this and this don't fret'. The amount of statements and clarifications on every little issue would be insane.

Certainly knows where the goal is and certainly of the calibre finisher we should be looking at but I have concerns over his workrate / ability to fit into our pressing-from-the-front style we play at present that the whole team currently buys into. All it takes is one weak link for the whole system to collapse and he would be a very expensive gamble wage-wise i'd imagine.
Has a huge ego too if memory serves me correctly, which although isn't always a bad thing in a striker, has been one of the key issues with certain players in our squad over the last 3 seasons. Something just doesn't sit right with me over this rumour so hoping it's just that.

I think Gyan was a very good player- dont really know now to be honest. But if he plays how he did in 2010 he will walk the Championship.
Quote from: @jolslover on August 23, 2016, 02:00:10 PMyou are correct, he failed to score in his second season at Sunderland and was shipped out early, presumably for an offer to big to refuse. Collins john scored more than him and I wouldn't want him back. That said, his goal record was good after he went to Abu Dhabi, but he is 30 now and I'm not a huge fan of old players. Plus he is meant to be on 220k a week, so if we use up a large chunk of our budget to get him for a year, I'll not be overly impressed. Let's get them young so that we have a player for years or a good resale value, that's what I sayQuote from: fulhamben on August 23, 2016, 01:54:00 PMQuote from: twang on August 23, 2016, 01:48:25 PM?

It was 10 goals in 1 season. Which is very good for the premier league. And considering he was at Sunderland.

Flying in for medical.
Named after Dutch legend neeskens apparently - hope he plays like him.

Quote from: maoconnor on August 23, 2016, 02:29:34 PMhe only made 3 appearances for PSG think your thinking of his time with Charleroi
Kebano seems a quality signing, 22-24 goals or so in two seasons with PSG as a midfielder. Not a bad peg on the lad and he's still only 24 years of age.

Glad we're finally linked to a striker. Personally dont care about his wages, especially if its only a loan. If Slav thinks that he's the perfect guy for the system, then get him in. I have 100% faith in everything Slav does. Smith and especially Woodrow are not the answer for a team looking for promotion (as we should be).
Bring in whoever it takes to get promoted. We need to be competing with the Newcastles, Villa's and now Wolves if we want to go up and milk that PL cash cow.

I presume you missed the interview this week where Slav said he was categorically not getting the players he wants because the final say rested with Mr Kline.

Deal for Gyan is Slavisas idea, Ordar is right
Quote from: AnEssexFan on August 23, 2016, 03:56:37 PM
I'd rather have Rhodes or Bamford instead of Gyan, as they are both proven goalscorers in the championship, would probably be available to buy, and are fairly young.
Quote from: bobby01 on August 23, 2016, 04:00:25 PM
I am at a loss with all this talk about signing Rhodes. He is a goal scorer in the championship as was Ross, but both very slow so would not suit the current style I think. No thanks for Gyan from me.

[/quotee]You say that, but even against Orient it was acknowledged that his touch of a brick wall was an issue against even lowr opposition.
Thing is I like him and watched him the 18/21's. Unlike some i have never seen him as more than a 10-15 goal a season man. And that's if he plays nearly all the games. Think hes a better player off the main striker. Still has a chance to do well but for me has to improve his touch or hes going to find himself stuck in L1 & L2 in the future.
Exactly right!
One assumes he does work at his game on the training ground but by now (22 in Dec) there's little sign he has improved his individual skill and the lack of games is a red herring on this subject.
It might be stretching it a bit but when I started playing over 60's 5 aside this year, over 30 years since I last played a proper game it only took until the 2nd week until I felt comfortable controlling a ball fired in at me from most angles.
You either have it or you don't!
Once we have signed the elusive new striker he should go on loan to prove to himself as well the the club what he's capable of.

Id be pretty Happy with Gyan to be honest. Big name, decent record. Attitude suspect but that doesnt really bother me if he does the job
Quote from: corbs83 on August 24, 2016, 10:54:16 AMkebano first, Id still be very surprised if we signed Gyan. Then maybe another 2 after the weekend.
im going to bet we announce him signing on Friday. in my opinion, i dont know too much about his attitude issues but cant say he isnt a goal scorer when presented with chances. i really like Matt Smith but cant argue that this would be an upgrade on ability
do we now think business is concluded if we get Gyan and Kebano?

what would be the stumbling block with Gyan, wages? what is your opinion on him for us and who do you think is in the frame next week? marshall?
whos outgoing? bodurov, grimmer, kavanagh, ream or stearman?

Certainly was an element claiming Woodrow>Dembele last season. Based upon a dislike of Dembele's playing style and the grass always being greener.

I cant remember old age and too much wine. Even after Kebano think we still need two maybe 3 if the money is there.

This genuinely baffled me. No way was Woodrow anywhere near Dembele, and Dembele 2 years younger. Was it a racist thing cos Woodrow is white and english? Was it cos Woodrow runs about a bit more. Who knows.

How is this Gyan deal possible with wages? Surely we wouldn't pay over 40k.
Can't see a club paying 180k a week while he plays elsewhere or someone taking a paycut to that amount to play in Championship.
Can't get my head around this one at all

We don't have to automatically pay half his wages, we basically pay an agreed contribution, which might be 40K a week, which McCormack was surely on at Fulham. For his parent Club, it puts him back in the English window if they are looking to offload, if he has a successful loan period. We won't ever be able to afford him, but he may help fire us back to the Prem.
Quote from: Jonaldiniho 88 on August 24, 2016, 11:42:37 AMIf new players come in. Can't believe we still haven't got a striker yet
We always gave ross the benefit of the doubt early season, he is not close to his class i know but i wont right him off just yet. What he has in common with ross imo is he plays best in a top two. Think he would be good with Smith tbh but if his first touch is poor (can't remember that being a problem for him in the past) then he is a dembele without as many goals. More assists in him I think. I hope we get to see but with average to not good enough ratings so far and with new players coming in he may have missed his chance. Still scored two in two starts

Woodrow isn't good enough for us.
There is no recognition in this about the type of player he is and the stage of his career. He is a hard working lad rather than one with an abundance of raw talent who has not yet had a good run in the team.
For me if he is going to progress he needs to play regularly and get a chance to score regularly. If we do bring in a first choice forward then maybe a loan out to a club like Sheffield United would be good for him.
The thing is if a player is lazy but talented you just need to motivate them. but you can't motivate talent into someone who doesn't have it. IMO any player needs at least one strength you try to take advantage of. For example fredericks--not a great player but you can make something of his pace. For woodrow, what is it?
pace? no.
strength? no.
aerial ability? no.
dribbling? no.
playmaking? no.
finishing? no.

While I'm not happy with the sluggishness of our dealings I think some have grabbed a conspiracy and run with it. Everything good we do is despite them, everything bad is part of their master plan. I'm sure your comment was tounge in cheek as is mine. In a business where no one seems to be accountable, or have the use of their vocal cords to keep fans in the know its not surprising we have jumped to (in some cases) very exreame conclusions

For me its not money though Gyan could move to a mid to low table prem side, of maybe somewhere else in Europe thats why I think is it realistic that we can get himQuote from: westcliff white on August 24, 2016, 11:56:38 AMQuote from: fulhamben on August 24, 2016, 11:54:59 AMDont think he was in London, fairly sure he was photographed outside of the British Embassy in China.

Anyone else thinking Gyan might be headed to West Ham? He was photographed in London yesterday but surely the wage makes a deal impossible for us.
Does anyone really think we are going to sign Gyan?
Don't get me wrong would love too but just cant see it happening
Would never have thought that we could sign Sigurdsson either so who knows.
Really? I think it's an amazing signing as he's a player that could easily have gone to a PL or Bundesliga club as there was plenty of interest. But something made him chose us and maybe the same could happen with Gyan?

London is an amazing player magnet. People earning silly money a week can afford to enjoy the lavish things the city has to offer without worrying.

Couple of comments:
It looks like RVP is looking for a new club although he is still training with Fenerbace (photo on his Twitter account from 9th August). Stoke are very interested in him so that could be his final destination.
A Ghana football site says the Chinese want to ship out Gyan because he has been frequently injured and has proved poor value for money because of this.

Woodrow isn't good enough for us.
There is no recognition in this about the type of player he is and the stage of his career. He is a hard working lad rather than one with an abundance of raw talent who has not yet had a good run in the team.
For me if he is going to progress he needs to play regularly and get a chance to score regularly. If we do bring in a first choice forward then maybe a loan out to a club like Sheffield United would be good for him.
The thing is if a player is lazy but talented you just need to motivate them. but you can't motivate talent into someone who doesn't have it. IMO any player needs at least one strength you try to take advantage of. For example fredericks--not a great player but you can make something of his pace. For woodrow, what is it?
pace? no.
strength? no.
aerial ability? no.
dribbling? no.
playmaking? no.
finishing? no.
Top post.
His finishing is great though. Everything else perhaps not, but he knows where the net is
I agree with most of what you say Hopper but it isn't quite that simple. It probably is more so with strikers but if you have a bit of everything then you can make a very good supporting forward. I've always felt Woodrow's hold up play and assisting has been good. It needs to get better to make him any use to us in reality. The one thing I've felt he lacked was finishing but against orient he did what he isnt best at (however good that maybe) and scored two good goals. The point I was trying to make is we forgive some players a so so game but not others. Dembele had two worse games on the bounce but started the third. I don't think cauley will get that chance as I hope improvements are coming in, I'm just not writing him off is all. If we bolster the squad a loan move until Jan may becthe best for both sides. I think playing off smith he may be very effective

"Because of the failure of Thomas Buffel we do not have much surplus in the offensive compartment. That's why we asked him to stay for a while. He has prepared and approved the interest of the group. That's very clever."
"Kebano has always worked hard for this team and lies well in the group. His transfer? As I understand, he explains today's medical tests and is back tomorrow with us."

They need a victory (or a draw) so it is likely they want to keep their player for this last game, especially since Fulham had not qualified for European football!

Even if kebano signs, i still think we need 3 more players to chase for promotion.
A right defender, what if odoi gets injured...cant expect Fred to be fit for much of the season.
The top goal scorer we keep hearing about...
Another midfielder, attacking or deffensive depending on where he intends to play jozabed. We need 10 players for these 5 position. At the moment i can only ses 3 def, 4 attacking + joza. With ayite injured, this will b very clear when u look at the bench this coming weekend...
Quote from: twang on August 24, 2016, 04:25:37 PMSJ said Jozabed plays best in a 4-3-3 but against Leeds said they put him behind the striker for a few minutes, which suggests to me he can't play as one of two in our formation.Quote from: mlangstrom on August 24, 2016, 03:53:06 PM

I honestly can't see the huge need for more additions than the striker we will get. The squad seems pretty complete to me:
Goalkeeper: Button, Bettinelli, Joronen
Right back: Kalas, Fredericks (Odoi)
Central defence: Sigurdsson, Madl, Stearman, Ream (Kalas)
Left back: Odoi, Malone, Sessegnon (Ream)
Central midfield duo: McDonald, Jozabed, Parker, Tunnicliffe (Christensen)
Attacking midfield trio: Cairney, Aluko, Kebano, Ayite, Christensen (Jozabed, Sessegnon)
Striker: XXXX, Smith, Woodrow

You might have a point that the defence i deep enough, altough i can see him using kalas as a wing back unless both odoi and fredricks are injured, he did not try him there at all during preseason and i would be sceptical about his attacking skills.
I really hope that jozabed can be used in tge midfield duo once used to the championship pace, he might only be played more forward initially. Could be wishful thinking, but i think he said in an interview that it was only in the last year he was played in a more attacking rolw.
Still think we need one more for the AM trio, its the most common position for injuries and subs are generally used as well. two per positon feels like a minimum.

Complete bull, they're actually friends, think Fredricks is a friend also, they've all done time somewhere at a club I think, was a bit of banter that went wrong, was pulled because it was homophobic comments, players have been done before.
Ryan Fredericks tweeted earlier today a picture of himself and Patrick Bamford out for lunch in London, and later tweeted "obviously Ryan Tunnicliffe wasn't invited" just lads banter?
Quote from: AnEssexFan on August 25, 2016, 11:01:46 AMthe rumour was that the deal was never for wages to be included, we would pay them a fee of between 1 and 2 million and that was it
So the supposed deal for Gyan is off.
The suspicious part of me wonders if this story was concocted by Gyans agent to try and get a move to the premier league by getting his players name into the media spotlight? I can't believe fulham were ever truly considering a player on his wages.

"You kinda have to laugh on here at everyone slating Kline and the stats based approach when the first thing everyone does when we are linked to someone new is go on wikipedia and judge them on their stats"
No incongruity here. Quite reasonable, with a striker for example, to be interested in his strike rate in previous seasons. But if a competent manager like Roy or SJ signed someone whose rate seemed very low we'd assume they had their reasons and look forward to seeing what contribution the player made.
IF the reports about Kline are accurate, he is able to veto signings SJ would like to have achieved. That is a very different matter.
No one would regard stats. as wholly irrelevant. The mistake is to assume that they tell the whole story or should make a determining contribution to decisions.

Fulham make ?3.5m offer for Eibar forward Sergi Enrich - Sky sources
Fulham have made a bid in the region of ?3.5m for Eibar forward Sergi Enrich, Sky sources understand.
Enrich scored 11 goals in 41 matches for the La Liga outfit last season.
The 26-year-old grew up on the Balearic island of Menorca and came through the ranks at Real Mallorca. He made his debut for the club in 2010 before joining Numancia three years later.
After a prolific spell with Numancia, where he netted 26 goals in 76 Segunda Division matches, Enrich joined Eibar in 2015 on a two-year deal.
The 26 year-old forward, who came through the youth team ranks at Real Mallorca, scored 11 goals in 41 appearances for Eibar last season. He scored nine teams in La Liga last season, including two in Eibar?s last two games of the season, as they finished in fourteenth place, five points clear of the drop. Enrich played twelve minutes as a substitute of their opening game of this campaign, a 2-1 defeat by Deportivo.
Enrich, capped by the Spanish under-19 side during his youth career, only joined Eibar last season after scoring 26 goals in 76 league games for Segunda side Numancia. The Spanish side are thought to be open to doing a deal that would lead to his departure, but it remains to be seen whether Fulham?s opening offer comes close to matching their valuation.
Slavisa Jokanovic has made the recruitment of a striker a top departure having lost Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembele during the summer, but his rumoured pursuit of former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan was called off yesterday afternoon.
Slavisa Jokanovic has revealed Fulham are ?very close? to signing a new striker.
And speaking in his press conference at the club?s Motspur Park training ground this afternoon, Jokanovic explained just how close he was to adding to his squad.
The Fulham head coach said ?Generally we haven?t covered the position of striker and we don?t have enough people in this area ? we are talking about a position that we still have to cover and I think we are going to sign one or two strikers.?
?Actually right now a player is in our building and is very close to becoming part of our club.
But while it is unclear who the mystery man is, whispers suggest it is unlikely to be the ex-Premier League striker Gyan who bagged 11 goals in 35 games for Sunderland between 2010 and 2012.?
What do you think, this could be a good signing, has experience at la liga last season

So according to Joka's Blackburn preview, Sarah said that there are 2 players currently having medicals. Who are we predicting? Kabano and Bamford?

Good call. Now that Celtic have qualified for the Champions League group stages, they will receive extra revenue and can invest in their squad in the coming week. If this rumour is true, the timing suggests that, for this reason, Celtic are prepared to release Johansen to us - a deal that has likely been in the pipeline for some time.

Quote from: DeuceBigelow on August 25, 2016, 08:22:53 PM"Serbian Supremo"? I like it
Fulham have agreed a deal for attacking Genk midfielder Neeskens Kebano.
The two clubs have agreed a ?3.8million initial fee for the Democratic Republic of Congo international but this could rise if the Whites get promoted.
Kebano was expected to fly to London on Tuesday in order to undergo a medical before tying up the loose ends of his transfer from the Belgian team.
His arrival will come as a relief to Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic, who has become frustrated with the Craven Cottage club?s lack of activity in the market.
The Serbian supremo vented his frustrations after Saturday?s stalemate with Cardiff and pointed the finger squarely at data analyst Craig Kline for blocking deals.
"It generally depends on this guy [Kline] who is going to sign for us or not," Jokanovic explained. "The last decision is in the hands of this man. It is not my business."
Get West London

What is your weird obsession against loans, If there are better options available on loan than on a permanent deal why wouldn't you pursue those options? Do you hate Kalas?

Quote from: @jolslover on August 25, 2016, 09:13:51 PMand thats another thing. if a player who hasnt had a decent pre season takes ages to get up to speed, then how long does it take a player who hasnt had a decent pre season, or played much in a whole year? we need a striker now. not one who may be ready within the month. and yes stuff loans. we have spent too many years thinking short term and we nearly ended up in the third division. slavisa is building a good young squad who can go from strength to strength in the next couple of years, and i want us to have to just fine tune in windows, not rebuild your first 11 every yearQuote from: fulhamben on August 25, 2016, 09:05:02 PMQuote from: @jolslover on August 25, 2016, 09:02:21 PMi dissmissing him because he hasnt scored for a year and a half. but you didnt want to take that into accountQuote from: fulhamben on August 25, 2016, 08:57:38 PMQuote from: @jolslover on August 25, 2016, 08:46:22 PMlol, so are you saying bamford is the best player we can get in the whole wide world.

Nah obviously there are better options, but a good option nonetheless, I think hes going to Burnley anyway. Kalas is very good in my opinion and fair enough, But dont dismiss players just because they would be signing on loan that is stupid
Original quote was "stuff loans" and you always seem to be negative about them. Bamford won championship player of the season 14/15 season. Has had 1 bad (didnt really play so dont know if you can call it bad) year in the premier league. He is great at this level.

Sorry if this has already been posted but Neeskens Kebane came on for Genk in the 74th minute as they were cruising their tie. Isn't that extremely weird on their part to risk the whole deal for nothing?

Quote from: Statto on August 25, 2016, 09:53:26 PMyes id imagine the main part of the medical is to pick up on really dodgy stuff through scans and xrays, the type of thing that wont really get effected by one game unless something obvious happens during that game like a big impact injuryQuote from: twang on August 25, 2016, 09:49:02 PM

I posted about this yesterday and said I assumed we'd have to do the medical all over again. But now I've thought about it I'm going to completely contradict myself and say it's not really much different to signing a player and then loaning him back to the selling club for a short while, like we were hoping spurs would do with dembele in january. Albeit in this case we've only loaned him back for one game (well, 16 minutes it seems)

The reason/rumour I heard why he returned to Belgium was because when he arrived we tried to change terms of what was agreed with him personally & his current club...
They got peed off & called him back apparently.

Great to have so many options in the attacking MF role, which will be extremely important if we're playing 3 behind the striker.
By my reckoning, after Stefan Johansen, we will just need a couple of strikers.
I'm very happy with the window. We've actually bought players that fit Joka's system

Right!? The famed Fulham medical looks as difficult as we could have all imagined... No way could you move 3 blocks on aided tracking in different directions with one foot in succession!!! And lifting your leg 18 inches TWICE!
Quote from: Bracken White on August 26, 2016, 04:29:23 PMTunni and Malone (at least for me) are not fringe players as it stands they are squad players, for Malone that wont change, for Tunni it may do as if Johansen comes from Celtic then wondering how many we need it that position, however for me he will still be a valuable squad member.
Good comment re the 'fringe players.' Tunnicliffe, Malone & Ream played really well on Wednesday night & Stearman, too. Latter constantly encouraging and advising the youngsters throughout.
It really is quite encouraging to have a decent squad & looking forward to the Johansen announcement. A top Norwegian in the team - always a plus (ETG)!!

Fulham were never ever going to announce all their signings today, contracts have been agreed and hands have been shaken, but if Fulham had allowed all the presents to be opened today I can guarantee you 100% that somebody would have been on here moaning on deadline day that "we haven't signed anyone"
At least another 3 will be coming in but they will be stage managed as the club sees fit,
But wow, what a transfer window, thank you Mr Khan and all, an amazing job done 082.gif :yay:
Best window for many years and not yet done (we assume)
Well done Mr Khan and the rest of the board and well done Slavisa - a proper coach!
Have people gone mad?! How can a window that starts with mccormack and dembele up front and ends with smith and woodrow be good?
As noted on another thread our net spend is still zero.

I can understand what you mean. What have we gained up front compared to what we've lost? For starters SJ has demonstrated that matches can we won from deeper on the pitch, via defences that are mean, and midfields that are spiteful and creative. Forwards or even midfielders have much better chances of scoring when openings are created via different routes in every attack. Fulham are, or have become, in other words, unpredictable. The Club still have time to show us the strike force signings but there is always a scramble for strikers and look at some of the rubbish Fulham has signed in the past.
SJ is a top coach and Fulham are giving him a chance to show just how good he is. That is the first good news the Club has given me since Khan took over.
Quote from: Lighthouse on August 26, 2016, 07:00:27 PM
We have improved in every part of the pitch except up front. But in attacking players we have a far better bunch than we had. Until the window closes on Wednesday we will have to wait and see before a final statement can be made. However let us say we brought in a quality forward then we would still like more. But everybody must see the vast improvement in the quality of players coming in. I know it is frustrating but nearly all the business is done from here on in and not weeks before. Just the name of the game.

Bit harsh, no? I think we've seen 10 players in, 10 out and a much better end product on the field. Transfer have gone fairly well, and it's going to be impossible to get all transfers in 2 months ahead of time. That's when the "products" are likely the most expensive. I do agree with needing a new striker, as does everyone (perhaps not Wolly) on this board.

Have to say I agree.
But at the same time I wouldn't complain if we showed extreme ambition and signed two strikers (Cyriac and Enrich for example) and let Woodrow leave on loan.
Quote from: f321ffc on August 26, 2016, 08:51:35 PM
So from all those linked over the last week still outstanding are.
Enrich
Cyriac

The other one I can think of is Gyan but I think we can dismiss that one happening,
So out or those three if two sign does anyone know enough about them to pick two.

Good comment re the 'fringe players.' Tunnicliffe, Malone & Ream played really well on Wednesday night & Stearman, too. Latter constantly encouraging and advising the youngsters throughout.
It really is quite encouraging to have a decent squad & looking forward to the Johansen announcement. A top Norwegian in the team - always a plus (ETG)!!

He is in the match squad for his team and if we would have made a bit and are in talks surely this put doubts up. - anyone any idea what the latest is?
Also the Chris Martin says that we JUST inquired, which means that we missed out on the striker we were very close to last week.... Or am i wrong?

Not sure why a lot of people seem against Martin, we need someone to be the focal point up there. It's not like last season where Dembele was the only person with a bit of pace, we've got a lot of pace out on the wings now so we need someone in the centre of the park ready to bring balls down and hold the ball up and play around them.
If we can get him for >6m, I'd be very happy with it.

Not a fan of Chris Martin to be honest. Want a pacey striker who can make runs in behind.
I also prefer a pacey forward, a pacey powerhouse would do us fine I think.
Unfortunately hes not a pacey powerhouse ;)
Derby signing Kodjia and Vydra is incredible. 2 of the best strikers at this level. 8 mill and 14 mill. Madness. They've pressed the panic button.
I wouldn't be complaining if we done it next week
Certainly if we get their fat, ugly reject Chris Martin I won't be happy
ahaha fair agree

Not sure why a lot of people seem against Martin, we need someone to be the focal point up there. It's not like last season where Dembele was the only person with a bit of pace, we've got a lot of pace out on the wings now so we need someone in the centre of the park ready to bring balls down and hold the ball up and play around them.
If we can get him for >6m, I'd be very happy with it.
dont you mean < less then, just being picky but i thought i would before someone else did
Quote from: PaulJ123 on August 28, 2016, 09:21:39 AMstyles of play. He is very similar to Smith, slight upgrade, although I'm sure Smith could match his 14 goals from last season if he matched his appearances.but point is, yesterday Smith was largely in effective due to the way Blackburn defended, so surely we need a striker who brings something different to the table. What happens if Martins isn't getting a sniff? Bring on Smith to do exactly the same? A few times this season Smith and woody have failed to keep up with the speed of attack and it would be no different with Martin. We have a battering ram, don't see why we need another

Quote from: b+w geezer on August 28, 2016, 10:47:05 AMzamora wasnt that slow
From memory, youtube and Derby messageboards at e.g. http://dcfcfans.uk/topic/23524-chris-martin/ (http://dcfcfans.uk/topic/23524-chris-martin/) Martin is more of a Zamora than a Smith in playing type. I'm presuming readers of this messageboard will appreciate that there is a difference. That's the type of player we still need in the context of all the other changes that have been made. The better of that type the better, but the very best won't be in this division and we need someone available within the timeframe. (Whether they are facially pleasing or aimiable doesn't enter into it for me. Zamora was a right old whinger and that only bothered about half of us).

zamora wasnt that slow
Failing that, it's about considering what's above all missing from the forces at our disposal upfront and it's not another Matt Smith as one will suffice. It's a centre-forward who can look after the ball if it is played up to him (better than Smith or Woodrow can) and can play others in. They don't need to be the one running in behind any more than Bobby was (AJ did that). And they must have at least a reasonable goalscoring record.
I'd like the best currently available of that type please.
Quote from: Mince n Tatties on August 28, 2016, 11:14:21 AMthe only thing with that, is we bought a lot of players last year under the mantra of we know what we are getting, cairney is the only one left who can get in the team.
Martin is a bit deceiving, he got more pace than you think, his
touch play for a big man is quite good his lay offs and
Sees a pass..Needs a new club to kickstart things again.
I'd be ok with Martin instead of foreign signing, you know what
Your getting...This is my opinion of course it because I like
the old fashioned type centre, Martin is a bit like that.

Just saw this, now trying to keep my hopes down
Quote from: HillFace on August 28, 2016, 02:15:00 PMWe wouldn't be paying his wages, we would be pay a fee of between 1 and 2 million for him, in fact it seems any club taking him on loan for the season will do the same
Not too keen on the Gyan rumours. Bit of troublesome character from what I've heard. Was once embroiled in a weird sacrificial killing scandal. Very bizarre.
Also done a quick search on his estimated wages at his current club. Makes a cool 11.5millionGBP a year. That's a whole McCormack. He would have to take a wage cut, obviously, but I reckon it would still be pretty high.
Quote from: TrexFFC on August 28, 2016, 02:59:00 PM
is Gyan really a team player though? I don't want selfish players. I want players that play as a team. I feel like that is what we are trying to build. Gyan's quality may be above any of the other strikers we've been looking at but will he sacrifice for the good of the team, will he complain/moan?, will the team suddenly need to be centered around him? There's no denying he has some talent but to me I think the risk is greater than a potential reward. All this being said I wouldn't be depressed if we signed him. I would just hope he buys in and works hard.
Quote from: Deeping_white on August 28, 2016, 03:41:51 PM
Personally I wouldn't mind Martin and Cyriac, because you need two different types of forward and that's what they provide. in some games, we're going to need Martin's Physical presence, and against other teams, having a pacey striker like Cyriac who can get in behind defences will be a better tactic. We can't be 1 dimensional and have 2 pacey strikers; we need one of each. The people saying Martin isn't that much better than Smith must be joking, he's consistently scored goals in this league and would do a good job for us.

On Trial you said, hmmm, is it in a Crown Court or a Magistrates, what has he done.
He is innocent.

Liverpool will rebuff any further interest in Danny Ings prior to Wednesday night's transfer deadline after Sunderland became the latest Premier League club to try to sign the striker on loan, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Thats one I would have liked off the list.

The word " Jigsaw" as defined in the English Oxford Collins Dictionary....is a puzzle consisting of a picture printed on cardboard or wood, and cut into various pieces of different shapes that have to be fitted together.
Also it is a machine saw with a fine blade, enabling it to cut curved lines on a sheet of wood, metal or plastic.

Didn't notice him, sorry. But most of the rest are, apart from Di Natale, Salpingidis and Berbatov. The only one I'd consider is Robson Kanu, but apparently he was very average at Reading.

Surely Villa are breaking FFP at this rate
A little known rule on FFP for ex PL clubs is they can lose £35M in one season (hence Villa & Newcastle splashing)
That means they can show a total of £61m loss over a 3 season period, one of which would have been in the PL last season.
Given that Villa pretty much ran their team down over last few years, good chance they made a profit last season, so can spend
Hope that sort of clears up how these clubs can do what they are doing, unlike other teams that have been relegated before.

If Wikipedia is to be trusted, these free agents can be signed any time in the season, so their desirability probably increases later this week if things go wrong on Wednesday and / or a current player gets a long term injury.
Of those listed, the one that catches my eye is Victor Anichebe. He's only ever played in the Premier League and at Championship level he could be a handful. When I have watched him, I've been impressed by his back-to-goal strength. Moyes' Everton played with an emphasis on defence and nippy wingers so he would understand the role. Thorough medical and short term prove yourself deal wouldn't be the worst plan.

From Spanish media this afternoon.
Who now awaiting their future is Sergi Enrich Minorcan. The player Eibar is considering an offer from Fulham, offered four million euros to the club Guipuzcoa. It is not the first time that the English Second Division team intends to sign the striker. Already tried it last season. Add to that the fact that just joined Eibar Tenerife striker Nano, a move that can mean goodbye Sergi Enrich.
Quote from: hovewhite on August 30, 2016, 09:29:24 PMI wouldn't say brilliantly, I would say we have had a good to very good window, certainly our best in a few seasons. However, we certainly need at least one striker preferably two, so we can kill teams off.
It's been a brilliant window and would be great to get another striker in but if it doesn't happen so be it.

Get them 3 and we'll probably almost definitely maybe be in the top 4 come the end of the season...

FULHAM IN ADEBAYOR TALKS
We understand Fulham are in discussions over signing Emmanuel Adebayor.
The striker is a free agent after leaving Crystal Palace at the end of last season.....
Thoughts?

if this is true then desperation stakes and i fear for what we can do this season, the man is past it and only had it for 2 seasons. PLay Humphrys instead

Quote from: stevehawkinslidingtackle on August 31, 2016, 10:08:04 AMa few years back maybe but his last couple of seasons he was terrible. At palace he showed nothing of what you say, just a lazy player walking around and moaning. (Sound familiar?)
Totally disagree. Quick, great in the air, skillful, a brilliant shot and COULD rip up this league, even if just for a season.

Got to agree with that.
Personally will be very underwhelmed if we get Adebayor
Quote from: hovewhite on August 31, 2016, 10:41:42 AMNot sure it is hear say or rumour when both the BBC and Sky are reporting it, but I hope your right

Quote from: westcliff white on August 31, 2016, 10:17:24 AM
Not a bad shout riversider, especially given as who we have now been linked to by Sky.
Might as well go for Wickham and Campbell, neither are worse than Adebayour, in fact I think Wickham kept Adebayour out of the palace team in the end
Quote from: Statto on August 31, 2016, 10:44:25 AM
chris martin, gyan, now adebayor... are we determined to someone lazy and toxic?
i look forward to us being linked with pol pot and harold shipman next
never thought i'd say this but i'd rather stick with smith and woodrow at this point

We do not have to sign him today because he is a "free agent" and he could be signed after the window closes so I think that it is agent talk
Quote from: Nero on August 31, 2016, 11:51:26 AMWHile I get the logic of nothing to lose on a pay as you play deal, there is infact a basic with that (Michael Owen had it at Man Utd got a basic and the rest was a top up) as no one would train all week then to play and get nothing. Then on top of that you pay extyra even if he makes the bench and doesnt get on, for me thats a waste, he is a waste, it in my mind can only go sour, he has been toxic for a couple of years, there is a reason no one wanted him.
We want a Big Name forward, oh but not hat big name forward, he have to laugh.
If we do Get AA make it a pay as you play deal, no lose situation then, we can then flog him to Sunderland in January when they are desperate to stay up for 5m

I seem to recall that Stearman was instrumental in Kmac joining us.... it seems odd that he's left on loan in the same window. He must have realised that all wasn't well with his place in the team when he recommended us. As others have said, i hope he does well and commands a good fee when we sell him eventually.

I don't think we will sign anyone today. If we can't get the right player we will wait until Jan. It's a bummer but feel that's the way it's looking.
Quote from: HamsterWheel on August 31, 2016, 01:16:49 PMProblem is we have known for over a month that we needed one and did nothing about it. Apparently we are the only ones who go by the you can only try and sign players on dead line day rule. Still we probably made a tiny profit in this window
Problem is every man and his dog wants a striker. And a fair few of the teams seem willing to pay over the odds for average players. I think we can just about cope without another one, but it'll be hard to win matches by more than the 1 goal we seem to be doing.

But i dont buy this "maybe we have surprise up our sleeve" talk. The vast majority of signings are leaked at least a little beforehand. Hopefully im wrong. The only 2 I can think of this season who were out of the blue were Ragnar and Kalas?

Quote from: Toby Ward-Smith on August 31, 2016, 01:24:17 PM
For me we need to look at the permanent options today like Cyriac, Enrich and Martin and push everything for these deals. Or maybe make last minute bids for Wells or Assombalonga and splash the cash on a striker like every other Championship club seem to be doing. Then if we don't pull through on a deal we then start talking to Adebayor and bring him in once the windows shut. Whilst the window is open for me we need to avoid Adebayor unless he is the last option which I don't think he is.

I will save judgement for the end of the season, yes we seemingly have invested well but we all thought we had a great summer the year ream, stearman etc joined.
I think we need to manage expectations in this regard, we are not going to get automatic promotion and the play offs would be amazing, but anywhere in the top 10 would still be a success.

And herein lies the problem.
Personally, I think this has been a fantastic window and I think we can look forward to a much improved season over the last couple. This does not mean we are about to clock up over a hundred points again and waltz back into the Premier League however, and some people need to hold on to that thought before getting too carried away just yet.

This, exactly this. My post wasn't meant to be negative, but more point out the progress we have made, the very thought of top 10 was ridiculous over the last few seasons and now I'd consider it achievable.
What we need to avoid is a backlash against the players and staff if we drop out of the promotion places, because chances are we will but that doesn't mean we haven't progressed.

To return to Grandad bashing for a sec. I reckon he is one of Klines PR men, and is on a mission as part of their propaganda machine. Whose object is to spread ill informed propaganda to enhance their status and help them succeed in becoming the Great & the Good at Craven Cottage, and to brain wash us all into being commanded by " Stats ", and Grandad has been sent ahead to clear the way for the main task force. However, we have rumbled him, and exposed his true identity. Grandad obviously thought that behaving like a simpleton, and making odd suggestions and outrageous comments would allow him to sneak under our radar undetected. He hoped by talking cobblers he could orchestrate his cunning plan, without coming under suspicion. But he underestimated our Inteligence Unit, and he has been rumbled.
Obviously this will now be passed on to our Investigations team, to deliberate and debate and decide his fate, and with such overwhelming evidence, there can only be one decision. It's just a matter of deciding how heavy a forfeit he will be instructed to carry out I would imagine. As we can't let him get away without applying the full force of the rules, in the name of Justice and Honour.

Its time for a confession. My real name is Kline and I have been running the stats and have found that the Hairy Elephant has a high propensity to write negative posts about me and the rest of the deities at Fulham and that in fact, he is a sock puppet for Statto. Therefore, I am closing out his contract and sending him to Chelsea where he will have much fodder for his negative comments. Grandad has been promoted to Wisdom Specialist and all questions about future promotions and general optimism should be addressed to him.
Carry on.
That would make him about 105, which surely makes him the senior Fulham fan.
Your more likely to be Grandads son.
