I don't want Sess to leave either, however, 30-40M investment in the Team can't be borked at.
Quote from: Woolly Mammoth on November 27, 2017, 08:44:58 PMI would love to have been in that conversation you had with Khan when he told you he was not interested. As far as I can recall and please correct me if wrong, but I have not heard anything about Khan refusing money to buy players.
If we had the misfortune of selling Sess, whatever money we got for him, most of it will be trousered by Khan, let's not kid ourselves. He is not that interested or is ambitious enough to launch us into the Premier, unless it's by accident. Otherwise he would never have mentioned sustainability, instead of ambition.
Other clubs will immediately inflate their prices to squeeze as much out of our inept and comatosed recruitment team who could not sell a life belt to a drowning man.
What small percentage we do get to spend on players will be squandered on drift wood from Division 2 of the Timbuktu League. Plus the odd free transfer, and a hand full of loaners that we will have to replace every year.
Best to keep Sess, we are better off with him, and anyone of our other prize assets.

Quote from: Mince n Tatties on November 27, 2017, 03:29:44 PMI hope you are right but history proves you wrong. A bid at the right price from the right club will almost certainly mean a player will go. If Sess goes he will no doubt double his money if not more and will be playing at a level we could never offer, in domestic and european competitions. This will also increase his chance of wearing the national kit.

Sell him for £30 million and then use it all to buy Dembele back from Celtic 😉

Well, I don't want Sess to leave but then if we are to continue playing him at left back we could do a lot worse than selling him and with the mega bucks we get buy a replacement left back, a centre back and a striker, all three up to top Championship standard.
That is of course if we were capable of bringing in good layers, but thinking of all of our transfer failures we have made we had best stick with Sess.

There is a cap on players over 28 unless Tony Khan overrides it, which means there is really no cap.

A Greek friend alerted me to the following article relating to the AEK Athens goalkeeper Anestis:

My friend is an AEK supporter and said that he would not be too upset to see the keeper leave. The keeper appears to be angling for a UK move as he has recently signed with an English agent. He is refusing to sign an extension to his current contract. AEK is currently top of the Greek league and managed two 0-0 draws against AC Milan.

Fulham's interest in Anestis
The Gospel of Cat (this is a column in a sports newspaper) has the latest reports re whether Yiannis Anestis will renew his contract with AEK Athens, why the negotiations have been put on hold, the role of his new agent and the prospect of playing in England. According to the column, the 26-year-old keeper, who has not yet had an official offer for the renewal of his contract from AEK Athens (note: his contract expires in June 2018), interests two Championship teams that have played in the Premier League in the past. Anestis has been offered to English clubs by Steve Wood (his agent in England) with specific financial (and not only) terms for a 3-year contract. Significant detail: there is a minimum release clause in the contract for the first two years, if there is interest from a Premier League club. The column concludes that one of the two teams that is interested in Anestis is Fulham.

You miss the point. Obsession with a sell on value will not see us progress.
The main reason we went down was Magath, any half decent manager would have had enough time and matches to save us.
Try and forget this obsession with age for five minutes. A player or players say 30 or there abouts come in, say a centre back, striker or keeper for example on a limited contract even, and their performances and the strikers goals contribute to get us into the Premier, then it's job done, Millions will come into the club anyway and it's job done.
Because the current policy that you support is not working and never will.
How many of these players you talk about having a sell on value have made the team, the ones that have are loaners. What have they contributed that a better 30 year old proven player could not do. It's lack of experience that's holding us back.
We will probably take a big hit when trying to sell players who have failed and we will take a financial loss.
By having these ridiculous policies introduced by non footballing people only interested in sustainability as opposed to ambition will cost this club money and our best players who will leave one way or another, so we end up worse off on and off the field of play.
They couldn't run a bath. They would just let it over flow.
Both Fonte and Kamara for example are worth less now, than when we bought them.
You couldn't make it up.

Quote from: Statto on December 15, 2017, 08:28:28 AM
We absolutely must make at least one key signing in January.
The club will have to replace Ojo (who's becoming an increasingly important player), Kalas, Norwood, Piazon and possibly Sessegnon and Cairney in the summer. That's literally half a team. If all of those players leave (rather than having their loans/contracts extended) then the 2018/19 will be a write-off before it's started because you cannot quickly integrate that many new players into the starting XI. So the club is already facing a massive uphill struggle just to resolve that in a non-fatal way.
If you add to that the longstanding major signings needed at CF and CB, arguably GK as well, that's just not even remotely possible to achieve in one summer, not for any team. And it's not as if our negotiating team have shown themselves to be the most effective and shrewd people in the last few years, is it.

I really don't expect anything this Jan Mike, but I wonder why did the club told you targets have been identified if they are unlikely to buy anyone ? Frankly 2 players could make a massive difference. Striker and centre half.

Would agree with most of this Statto, but did Wolves bring in a load of players in the summer or was that an established squad already? I cant recall.

If you add to that the longstanding major signings needed at CF and CB, arguably GK as well, that's just not even remotely possible to achieve in one summer, not for any team. And it's not as if our negotiating team have shown themselves to be the most effective and shrewd people in the last few years, is it.
Quote from: MJG on December 15, 2017, 09:30:32 AMI don't play numbers but I do play quality. If I leave Aluko's replacement out of the equation decent replacements for Malone and Martin were unmet summer requirements, and our weakness in defensive cover still lingers on. I wouldn't go for broke (as in the Gayle farce) but we do need to be looking to rebuild for next season and that means running the rule over which summer additions are worthy of retention or replacement. If SJ has been seriously consulted (and that is a big 'IF' with Fulham's recruitment team) then I am hopeful we may get at least one quality signing and a couple of seriously beneficial loans, but little else.

Quote from: MJG on December 15, 2017, 09:53:04 AMI'd say the need for quality is going to be more serious in the summer if we do not see success this season, and by success I mean at least a top six finish. As Statto points out the between season window then becomes an issue of who we lose as it was, even on a slightly lesser scale, last summer. I just want to see an end to the perpetual need to keep rebuilding the core by building cover into the equation now. If we are seriously not going to challenge for promotion this season then the whole issue of retaining Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon seems to highlight the myopic vision the Club's owners have. Our head coach has to employ a game by game approach since he can do little else but our owners need to have a much longer term interest in what breeds success in any football Club. I think they allowed 2016/7 to go to their heads and that problem still hasn't been sorted.
I dont disagree with the quality angle, but you know full well even if we signed '2' quality players another argument would say we need another 5.
Fact is nothing club do in January will keep everyone happy and history shows we dont really go big in January.
If I was a betting man it would be one permanent signing, a loan cancelled and two more loans/free in

My friend is an AEK supporter and said that he would not be too upset to see the keeper leave. The keeper appears to be angling for a UK move as he has recently signed with an English agent. He is refusing to sign an extension to his current contract. AEK is currently top of the Greek league and managed two 0-0 draws against AC Milan.
How much does a Greek keeper urn?

Quote from: JoelH5 on December 30, 2017, 11:46:53 PMGood. I don't rate him
The Gayle rumours have reappeared. He's only not featured in 3 of Newcastle's games this season and the fact that it looks like they could be coming back to the Championship makes it highly unlikely in my opinion.
Quote from: @jolslover on December 31, 2017, 12:29:36 AMYes for me. Whatever Strikers that are not featuring and are bigger bodies should be what we look for. Enough speed in the team, need big body that can control ball, take on defenders, pass and shoot. Mitro is close in that department
Mitrovic is the man I want to see here.

Fulham 'agree' to sign Wolves and Leeds United target in January
Fulham have supposedly agreed on a deal in advance with Newcastle United that will bring striker Dwight Gayle to Craven Cottage in January according to the page 46 of the printed edition of Monday's Daily Mirror, as reported by HITC.
The striker had been rumoured to move to Fulham in the days leading up to Deadline Day but a move for the striker failed to materialise with Newcastle failing to sign a replacement for the striker.
Supposedly, the two clubs finally settled on a deal worth £15 million that will take Gayle back to London after he moved to St. James' Park in 2016 from Crystal Palace.
Gayle gained plenty of admirers in the Championship as he managed to score an impressive 23 goals in 32 games for the Magpies last season, following his £10.8 million move from London to Tyneside.
So far this season, Gayle has struggled to implement himself as a focal point of Newcastle United's squad with Rafael Benitez seemingly opting with Joselu, Ayoze Perez and now Alexander Mitrovic ahead of Gayle.
Fulham themselves managed to bring in Yohan Mollo and Jordan Graham on Deadline Day but if a deal has been agreed with Newcastle United, they will have replaced striker Sone Aluko who departed for Reading for a fee of around £7.5 million.
Gayle would be an excellent acquisition for Fulham and after a transfer saga that seems to have dragged on, Newcastle United should have the time to find a replacement in January if Gayle is to move to London and there should be no reason why a deal can't go ahead.
Gayle had been linked with a move to Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers during the transfer window, but with a move to Fulham looking like it could be on the cards, both teams are likely to look elsewhere should they still need a striker in January.

We just need a Left Back that is proven in the leagues so, if we keep Sess, he can play up front. After that, we need some depth at CB. Once those items are addressed, we can look at boosting the strikers to backup Kamara. I want a proven decent sized player such as Ulloa, or a Serbian named Mitrovic. Maybe a fellow countryman like Slav could settle the young man down.

I would take Mitrogoal in a heartbeat.
He is a handful for Premier defenders, let alone Championship. He also tracks back and creates turnovers.
As for goalies, I wonder what the process would be if a guy like David Ousted was to come here from MLS. He's been a great goalie in Vancouver, and would seem to be an improvement on both Betts and Button.
Quote from: Tonywa on January 02, 2018, 10:36:35 AMi dont remember anything coming out of FFC about this, or NUFC to be fair. I thought it was just a newspaper report. Although I am sure there was some truth in there as we have apparently been after him for a couple of years, even before SJ arrived.
Without starting a debate about either the quality of Gayle or his suitability for our needs, I seem to recall that it had been confirmed by both Fulham and Newcastle in the summer that a fee had been agreed for the player, but that Newcastle had pulled out at the last minute as they could not find a replacement in time. It was also inferred that the deal would still be valid in January if all affected parties still wished it to go ahead.

Quote from: westcliff white on January 02, 2018, 03:30:19 PMyou can have five max in matchday squad. Forget Soares that's not happening. So space really for one more matchday squad player if we say other four are always in it, which I think they should be.
not sure we can loan anymore now Piazon is back, graham was signed as cover till January so guessing we are at the limit. Not sure how many we can have in a match day squad, but think it is 5. We would have that with Ojo, Piazon, Kalas, Norwood and Soares (assuming he gets a look in)

Fan's favourite Diego Rolan has 3 goals in La Liga for struggling Malaga, but has had a load of injury problems.
The bloke I (and one or two others) hoped we'd go for, Namanja Nikolics, took the almighty Dollar and ended up with a MLS-leading 24 in 34 for Chicago.
I have no idea if we were ever in for him or if there was the remotest chance of him coming to us even if we were. I also don't really know what 24 goals in MLS are worth, but he obviously had a decent season (David Villa was second top scorer with 22).

Curious. Is this because he's just not cut out for this league/level? Or, is he suffering Slavisa making a point about recruiting as some have suggested where other players are concerned?

From a report I believe I read (Cant find it unfortunately) I remember the reason being quoted as defensively he was lacking. Supposedly very good going forward and whips in a good ball but just isn't a defender. In my eyes similar to sess in that he is better going forward than defending. This lead Jok to take the decision to stick with Sess to develop him as he is our player. No point playing Soares as an attacking winger when we can play sess there and Odoi LB or play Sess at LB to keep developing him over Soares, especially if Sess defends better.
Fair play to Fulham for sticking with the youth (if indeed I haven't made all this up and it is true) but also a shame as I, like most people, were very excited when he signed for us and were looking forward to seeing him play in a white shirt.

Thank you. So, basically, we are paying to get him in shape for his summer vacation and follow on season with Porto. Woohoo!
Quote from: MJG on January 02, 2018, 05:23:16 PM
Fredericks has improved his stamina, call it fitness if you like but to me it's different.
But even now Fredericks still struggles late on in games at times. He loses both stamina and concentration.
It's just all players have different levels of stamina, some look ok all game long, others you can see physically tire.

Forget who it was that was stumping for Cyle Larin (Orlando City FC) as a possible Fulham option at striker but, it appears he's headed to Borussia Munchingefiltefish (close enough).

That is a very good point, and something to consider as teams loan out their players. Surely we'll find a WC player who is riding the bench somewhere.

Another transfer that needs to be looked at because of Mendes. Don't get why you would trade a new contract at Valencia, an offer from Real to make your dream move to Wolverhampton. Something smells fishy in the midlands
agree with your general sentiment about wolves/mendes here but isn't this just some youth player who was playing in the B league?

FK Kauno Zalgiris of Lithuania have been identified as the only club in Europe not currently interested in signing Ryan Sessegnon, although they have said that they may change their mind if they win the Euromillions lottery this weekend.
Quote from: simplyfulham on January 04, 2018, 04:17:23 PM
I feel like we need to return to the classic Fulham transfer profile. Players who have performed at a higher level than us and are down on their luck, out of form or who are recovering from serious injuries.
On this basis we've had players like Van Der Sar, Zamora, Murphy, Duff, Diarra and Berbatov.
In this vein, there are a few strikers in the division above who could fit the bill:
Aleksandar Mitrović
Connor Wickham
Saido Berahino
Danny Ings
And the wild card - Peter Crouch
Just feel there's some easy value out there to be had and we don't need to look too far to get it.
Quote from: SuperFulham323 on January 04, 2018, 04:37:01 PMThey must think we are a Div 2 club. Their offer is insulting and I hope the Club has told Stoke to put their offer where the sun doesn't shine. They can wait until the summer when his contract is up and then why would he want to sign for a Championship club.

Would I judge you if you moved to a better job for more money and prospects? I think he has already shown tremendous loyalty given what he was offered last season.
He stayed last Jan in the hopes of promotion, of playing for us in the top flight and again over the summer for the same.
I know what I'll say if he goes: "Thank you for staying with us as long as you did, I hope you have the career you deserve".

A £6m fee for a guy who's 30 next week is a bit ridiculous. There will be absolutely no sell on value and surely is dangerous to just throw money away. Surely there's a younger version than him hiding somewhere. Wolves have the right idea trying to get him on loan.
Plus for him to personally ask to cut short a loan smells a bit like Chris Martin.

Quote from: hovewhite on January 06, 2018, 07:56:56 AMno, it a policy that can be broken if the right player is put forward and it's accepted what they offer. But it would be fair to say that over 28's are not the main player targets.
Have we binned our over 28 policy,any ideas?

Quote from: Holders on January 06, 2018, 09:16:17 AMOne of his many abilities was to foster good relationships wherever he had managed and Hangeland was a really top purchase (i.e. not a panic buy).
Even Roy had to bring in key players like Hangeland.

Not if you look at his record at Norwich and Reading over the last 2 years. He's playing and scoring at the moment but is very inconsistent.
Quote from: snarks on January 06, 2018, 10:27:14 AMThe only time I can recall watching him, he seemed underwhelming and missed a penalty. I'll resist the obvious conclusion.Quote from: Tooting legend on January 06, 2018, 10:00:04 AM

Talksport....Fulham considering move for Peterborough striker Jack Marriott.
Quote from: Arthur on January 06, 2018, 05:27:31 PM
Based on what I remember of Kelechi Iheanacho at Manchester City, he would be an excellent striker in the Championship.
Looking at Leicester's team selection for their tie today, he's seemingly fifth-choice there now. I wonder whether a bid in the region of £10M could land him; he may be prepared to drop down a league for first-team football.

Is this the guy from Peterborough?
Can't say I've heard much about him so just googled him. He's having a decent season this year in league 1 but before that, his record is about 1 goal in 4 games for Luton & a similar ratio at the other lower/non league clubs he's been at. People suggesting £4m??? Transfer markets gone absolutely nuts!

Disagree, since Martin went we dont play with a big target man, Kamara only 5ft 9 & Fonte when he plays not an out & out centre forward.
Marriot looks to be a finisher, remains to be seen if he could step up but didnt Jokanovic say something about a poacher? This lad looks one to me

Let's bring Harlee Dean back to West London , tough no nonsense centre half that would hit the ground running, and a centre half that takes responsibility, I'd like to think that yesterday's goal wouldn't have happened if somebody like Dean had been playing yesterday.

Grabbans 12 goals were very much in the McCormack ilk in terms of everything goes through him, team built around him and to his strengths. And him asking to cut short his loan is very Chris Martin-esque.
Making same mistakes with different players in my opinion.

Its a clever move. Most likely, Sess will be leaving in the summer. We need a LB to compliment Sessegnon, which Targett supposedly will do. Our approach in the summer could be different, as a more attacking full back may be necessary. So long as Targett takes away defensive duties for Sessegnon for a few months, its a good idea to revisit the whole situation in July.

Although I said I'm fed up with Slav being unprofessional in the media about it I fear you are correct and we are in for another disappointment.
I'll give it until the end but if we do end up with another loan and "miss out on our top targets" by chucking a stupid bid at 11:50 on deadline day then we need an organised response for Khan and the board as this is getting behind a joke
Quote from: deano_632 on January 08, 2018, 09:54:10 PMMaybe Stephen Sessignon gets his opportunity after all? Not sure Slav is that keen to sell Freds, nor him keen to move to Swansea, if he didnt like Bristol wait til he gets over the Severn Bridge, sheep and not much else...
Swansea City are interested in signing Fulham right-back Ryan Fredericks, according to Sky sources.
The Welsh club have prioritised a right-back and a striker in the January transfer window.
Fredericks, 25, arrived at Craven Cottage in the summer of 2015 from Bristol City and is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Tottenham product has featured predominantly at right-back under Slavisa Jokanovic at Fulham and has clearly caught the eye of Swansea's new boss Carlos Carvalhal.
Fredericks came through the ranks at Spurs and made his first-team debut against Hearts in the Europa League in 2011.
Carvalhal will be desperate to shore up his defence with his side bottom of the Premier League with 16 games left in the season.

His agent will push the Swans deal for sure, like you say, even if 6 months if he gets a contract at £30k a week he might put up with it, maybe 2 years more mature he can deal with small town life. He certainly had emotional issues in Bristol away from London and family, he only lasted 3 months.Quote from: YoungsBitter on January 08, 2018, 10:09:23 PMQuote from: deano_632 on January 08, 2018, 09:54:10 PMMaybe Stephen Sessignon gets his opportunity after all? Not sure Slav is that keen to sell Freds, nor him keen to move to Swansea, if he didnt like Bristol wait til he gets over the Severn Bridge, sheep and not much else...
Swansea City are interested in signing Fulham right-back Ryan Fredericks, according to Sky sources.
The Welsh club have prioritised a right-back and a striker in the January transfer window.
Fredericks, 25, arrived at Craven Cottage in the summer of 2015 from Bristol City and is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Tottenham product has featured predominantly at right-back under Slavisa Jokanovic at Fulham and has clearly caught the eye of Swansea's new boss Carlos Carvalhal.
Fredericks came through the ranks at Spurs and made his first-team debut against Hearts in the Europa League in 2011.
Carvalhal will be desperate to shore up his defence with his side bottom of the Premier League with 16 games left in the season.

I can see this one happening
For Fredericks - he could get a run in the Premier League - even if only 6 months . And a pay hike
For the Club Fredericks is holding off signing a new contract and only has 6 months left on his current contract . And the have a "Sess\' waiting in the wings .
Joka though clearly prefers Fredericks to Sess currently so would I am sure be against this

Quote from: Hoppus on January 10, 2018, 12:30:39 PMJust the possibility that we may lose a couple of our best players. You know looking back to the last window we lost Malone and Aluko and the best of the new signings has proved to be Kamara. So could be two windows in a row where the overall quality of the starting eleven has fallen.
It's possible that the club is working on anything in silence, but I'm afraid that Slavisa is right that nothing is happening here?

Pay the 7m and move on, will we do that, statistics show we probably won't! There must be another Rui Fonte, the real Rui Fonte (the striker) that we can get for 9 million, almost forgot we have been there and done that. Why not try and sell him for 2.5 to 3m and add that to any bid that we might have made already (lol), not going to happen!!!!!

Quote from: Fulham76 on January 10, 2018, 07:30:15 PM
I think pretty much all fans agree, whether they are pro Khan or against him, we need to add to the squad if we have any chance at promotion/play offs. A striker, a central defender, (would love an improvement in goal too).
SJ has said he wants, and more importantly needs additions to the squad, & he knows the squad better than anyone.
Unfortunately, the owners, or their advisers don't agree with us or SJ, he's come out publicly many times & said so. That's our problem, and it's a big problem.
So all this talk of us signing this player or that player is a waste of our energy. The important people here i.e. the fans & SJ have zero say in transfers, it's the non football people making the decisions (the wrong ones in my opinion). We've been told we're not in the market this window & it doesn't look like we are. SJ wanted business done early & he's been overruled, so that's that.
We may well bring in a loanee or two or a 2nd/3rd tier unknown from somewhere in Europe but we're not being ambitious & I'll bear that in mind when season tickets go on sale again & Khan over promises.

Just to make a point that they would be better than other fullbacks. And really, they would be able to play LB and be better than Soares and Odoi. Even if that's not why we would be getting them.

They both have said that they ask questions that they want to ask regardless of how uncomfortable it makes the Club. The recent meeting is not the only time they have raised the fan's general concerns over the transfer policy and each time they get an answer.

Why does it bother you that some posters express their disappointment?
SJ wanted some business done early, (as did most fans), but the club have gone against him, or just ignored him, or think they know better than him & 95% of our fan base - it's one of those.

I agree business should be done early and it is annoying but to be fair, the club said a lot of it depends on other clubs selling etc and so if that is the case, they can't just decide to 'do the business early,' there is a chain.
Quote from: JoelH5 on January 11, 2018, 11:16:31 PMAnd yet other sides are buying players and have been doing so for 10 days! So clearly this 'CHAIN' only applies to certain clubs! Not every player we are after would come under the 'chain' rule, as there are plenty of players being told they are surplus to requirements.

Quote from: Statto on January 12, 2018, 11:35:27 AMThis post says just about all you need to know about FFC and transfer business whether they are in the winter or the summer. My only additional comment would be that even if you marginally overspend your budget in one year you have another two years to adjust and sort it out. Of course if you get to the PL a slight overspend will not matter much anyway.
We must have bid £10m+ For Gayle in August so that level of money is there.
So let's just find a striker worth £8-9m and give his club £10m to do a quick deal.
I'd rather that than let another 10% of the season (January fixtures) pass by purely for us to have a 50:50 chance of signing a marginally better £10m striker on deadline day, with the obvious risk (in fact I should say likelihood) that the deal falls through and we get no one.
£10m sitting in the bank won't score any goals in the coming months.
Also as I've said before, IMO you're just as (if not more) likely to have to pay an inflated fee at the end of the window as you are at the start, because toward the end of the window the seller knows you're desperate and have no time left to go elsewhere

Realistically we're not in the financial position to get deals done early unless they're loans.

Quote from: MJG on January 12, 2018, 10:10:17 AMThats probably because the real promotion chasers did most of their business in the summer. Wolves have made one move but they are locked on for promotion so could spend big to lock that move and their relationship with Jorge Mendes makes them unique. The other real candidates: Derby, Boro did their business well in the summer and Pulis is still evaluating the squad. I dont think Cardiff, Preston or Bristol City will try and spend to get over the line so they will compete with us and Dirty Leeds for loans which tend to be back ended in the loan window.
Its been a slow start in the championship compared to last year.

I said before the window was open that Oliviera would be a great signing for our club. He's hungry and would be a real force. His attitude is one with a chip on his shoulder, but that has worked for a lot of our goal scorers in the past (Clint Dempsey as a great example).

Agreed, his chip was highly visible at our first game of the season. We had that game sewn up until he came on as sub and chewed up our back line before getting the equaliser late on.
Made a huge difference in that game, he certainly put in maximum effort, could Slav motivate him to do the same. The holding up shirt thing proves he might be a difficult character to handle.

Oliveira is a very well rounded striker, he is technical, strong, skillful and quick. I will show you a video of his best goals in the champ last season. Some great strikes on here.

If the team is playing badly he can create a goal out of nothing, Which is something I admire in a striker, Rather than just a poacher.

Swansea City target fullback Ryan Fredericks gives an update on his Fulham future
The fullback has been linked with Swansea and Stoke, but Fredericks insists he is happy at Craven Cottage
Ryan Fredericks has insisted he is happy at Fulham, despite speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
Stoke City and Swansea are among the clubs who have been reported to be interested in the 25-year-old who only has six months left on his contract, but so far there's been no movement on that front, with Fredericks playing a key role in the 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough.
Fulham are adamant that none of their key players will be leaving this January, with Tony Khan already issuing a statement stating that Ryan Sessegnon, Fulhanm's 17-year-old wonderkid, will not be sold.
There's a contract on the table for the full back, and Fredericks has revealed that his people behind the scenes are dealing with that, and although he's not sure what is going to happen, he wants to end the season with promotion to the Premier League with Fulham.
He said: "I'm happy here, I've said it all along.
"My contract situation is getting sorted behind closed doors and the relevant people are trying to sort that now, I'm not too sure what is going to happen, but whilst I'm a Fulham player, be it one year, two years, three years, whatever it is, I will give my all in the shirt whenever I step onto the pitch.
"You couldn't get any better than that [ending the season being promoted with Fulham] promotion with any team is amazing so it would be my third season here, so hopefully third time lucky."

Apart from us the following have also failed to sign anyone yet as far as I can make out: AV, B'ham, Burton, Derby, Hull, Midboro, Millwall, Norwich, Nottm F, QPR, Rdg, Shef W. Any corrections welcomed.
Ipswich have signed a 19 year old from Waterford and Norwich have confirmed East Anglia/Irish solidarity by signing a teenager from University College Dublin -not really the big time.

West Brom boss Alan Pardew makes £15million move for Fulham skipper Tom Cairney - Mirror Online
West Brom are in talks with Fulham over a move for Tom Cairney.
The Baggies are ready to launch a move for the ta lent ed midfielder this month and are prepared to pay up to £15m for Cairney.
They are understood to have tested the water with an opening approach of £12million.
Cairney, 26, was the subject of a £20million bid from Newcastle last summer which Fulham rejected.
But the Cottagers are weighing up the latest interest as they consider cashing in on Cairney to raise funds to buy a striker.

Cairney was only on the bench for the win at Middlesbrough on Saturday, having been struggling with a recurrence of a knee injury.
The Cottagers skipper has made 17 appearances in the Championship this term, scoring just once.

The Baggies are ready to launch a move for the ta lent ed midfielder this month and are prepared to pay up to £15m for Cairney.
They are understood to have tested the water with an opening approach of £12million.
Cairney, 26, was the subject of a £20million bid from Newcastle last summer which Fulham rejected.
But the Cottagers are weighing up the latest interest as they consider cashing in on Cairney to raise funds to buy a striker.

Cairney was only on the bench for the win at Middlesbrough on Saturday, having been struggling with a recurrence of a knee injury.
The Cottagers skipper has made 17 appearances in the Championship this term, scoring just once.

Quote from: hovewhite on January 15, 2018, 06:12:52 PMWhen he did his disappearing act he signed a new improved contract with Derby with extra pies as an incentive so I guess he's not that fussed about moving.
Martin is on a nice fat contract so think he couldn't care less!

Why do we need £15/£20M to buy a striker? Understood we had funds available & also weren't going to sell unnecessarily this window. Unnerved the bid hasn't been rejected.

i don't think he would, but if he gets the chance of Prem football, why not? Unfortunately Money talks..... Players walk :(
Quote from: Tooting legend on January 15, 2018, 08:37:08 PM
I would sell for £15 million if true. Last season he was great injury free. This season a dodgy knee that's kept him out quite a lot of the season. Use the money on a decent striker we still have a great midfield.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is no mug, we cannot afford to turn our noses up at his kind of talent, despite what went on at Wolves and Leeds.
Can't say I know much about him, but in Aug 2016 he joined Wolves and only got 5 games (I think) before they sent him back to M U. In Aug 2017 he joins Leeds and has had limited game time and now they, allegedly, want rid. So if he's no mug what's the problem? Do you know any more?

There is no problem that cannot be overcome, as he would not have been on Manchester United's books since he was six.
He has played a couple of times in their first team, and represented England at u/20, u/19, u/17, and u/16 level. He was in and around the Wolves first team regularly until Paul Lambert came along, who it appears did not fancy him. So he was phased out.
As for Leeds it obviously did not work out for one reason or another.
He is a 6ft plus defender and an orthodox left back, with a decent future if he plays his cards right.

Probably want to make sure they can find homes for these players who aren't getting a look in before bringing in more and then finding out we have an over-bloated squad of unhappy players. Seems sensible to me. These players aren't getting a look in and nobody can say we are weakening our matchday squad by clearing out appendages.

I haven't seen a lot of him the last 2 years and only remember him from his United games when Van Gaal was the manager. No idea why it didn't work out at Wolves and Leeds; perhaps he's not good enough or perhaps their tactics didn't suit his style or perhaps the managers didn't like what they saw in training. As Woolly said, he is a 6ft defender that can play as LB and CB, fast, likes to attack and good with the ball on his feet - sounds like a Jokanovic-made full-back.
Regardless of Borthwick-Jackson, these are the kind of players that we should always be interested in buying. Young enough with a lot to prove and, if everything goes well, that they can make us some money in the transfer market after a few years. Also, having grown in the environment of a big club, they will be comfortable with the ball on their feet and playing possession football, which suits our current style just fine.

3 Players who haven't featured are being shipped out, I think the club has done the right thing as it frees up space for other loans to come in if necessary.
No championship club has done much real business so far in the window so I don't see what the panic is, let them do their job :54:

Not convinced about Gayle. Similar to what we already have though slightly more clinical in finishing. Bit of a sick note lately. At 1.77 metres tall it does not address our ability to score from corners & set pieces.Big gamble for £13 mil. Been down that road before.
I would be devastated if we sold Cairney at a cut price to get Gayle. We would then also have to replace our engine room. Where is that money going to come from, and don´t say Sess.

Have to disagree. Gayle is faster than Fonte and Kamara, has experience in this league and is more clinical. He was also the top 3rd scorer in the league last year, both 1 and 2 now playing in the Prem.

I would be delighted if we signed Gayle . Be remarkable if we could find better .
However I do agree I would not sell Cairney to buy him . Unless of course Cairney's knee if never going to be fully healed ( then surely he would fail any medical )

There is Fulham in the future of Sebastian Leto , Argentinian striker already seen in Serie A with the shirt of Catania . The '86-born footballer, currently released after the experience at the Emirates Club, has in fact become a more than concrete goal for the club of Craven Cottage, interested in the arrival of the player. That after Serie A and the Greek championship (with Panathinaikos) could live, in England, his third European experience, wearing the shirt of Fulham.

Please no Leto. He is a winger and not a striker and has always had injury and attitude problems.

Sounds like Iker Duran from Levante is either undergoing his medical this week or on trial. Did a little look up. He's from their academy system, Bolivian and at least twice called their academy's "Messi".
So there you have it......this window's possible "Who?!!" signing. Just a couple of loans to be completed and our window will be complete.

There is Fulham in the future of Sebastian Leto , Argentinian striker already seen in Serie A with the shirt of Catania . The '86-born footballer, currently released after the experience at the Emirates Club, has in fact become a more than concrete goal for the club of Craven Cottage, interested in the arrival of the player. That after Serie A and the Greek championship (with Panathinaikos) could live, in England, his third European experience, wearing the shirt of Fulham.

Sounds odd. This week , Norwich have sold Jerome and Pritchard, then loaned out Martin and Wildschut.Doubt the door would be open for more departures especially their joint highest scorer, with the other one gone too. Think Derby signing someone means the door is open for Chris Martin, don't see any reason in stockpiling strikers. Then again Slav rarely sees the reason for strikers 😂

Good news from the Birmingham Mail .... Looks like TC will be staying here
West Bromwich Albion face an uphill battle to land Tom Cairney, if the Fulham midfielder's comments about his future are anything to go by.
The Baggies are said to have approached the Championship side with an opening offer of around £12million and are willing to pay up to £15million.
Alan Pardew wants to add a creative spark to his side this month as he bids to guide Albion to safety and Cairney is regarded as one of the brightest talents outside the Premier League.
The 26-year-old, however, says he is happy where he is having signed a one-year contract extension in July which runs until 2021.
When asked recently by FulhamFCTV if he wishes to stay at Craven Cottage beyond January, he said: "Yeah, of course.
"I had it last summer (transfer speculation).
"I signed a contract extension in the summer and I can't do much more than that to commit my future to the club.
"I'm happy here, I love it here, and I want to stay here."
Fulham rejected a £20million bid from Newcastle United for Cairney in the summer window.
The Scotland international has made 17 appearances in the Championship since, scoring once.
"You can't put a price on happiness," Cairney told the Evening Standard last month.
"Last season I was extremely happy on and off the pitch and that's when you play your best football. I wanted to show my happiness to the fans, let them know that I want to be here and try to take Fulham forward
"I love playing football here. That's what I want to do.
"I feel a responsibility to Fulham. It's been great ever since I arrived. I enjoy playing football, I really enjoy playing it at the Cottage and long may it continue."
Cairney joined Fulham from Hull City for around £3million in 2015 and has played 108 matches for the Whites.

Report: Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and Norwich City enquire about Edwin Gyasi - available at initial £600,000
Aiden Cusick @aidencusick55 minutes ago
Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and Norwich City are the latest English clubs to be linked with a move for the Ghanaian international.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton gestures from the sideline during the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion at St. James Park on December 30, 2017 in...
Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and Norwich City have enquired about Aalesund winger Edwin Gyasi, according to the Daily Mail [live blog entry 16:49].
Championship trio Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday are said to have already discussed signing Gyasi.
Chris Coleman, manager of Sunderland during The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Middlesbrough and Sunderland at the Riverside Stadium on January 6, 2018 in Middlesbrough, England.
However, it is claimed that Sunderland wanted the Ghanaian on loan, while Aalesund favour a permanent deal.
The report adds the Norwegian club are willing to accept £600,000 up front for Gyasi, who is out of contract at the end of 2018, with add-ons which could take their potential earnings to more than £1 million.
That asking price is said to have 'alerted others' to the possibility of signing the 26-year-old, and Brighton, Fulham and Norwich appear to have seized the initiative - making contact with Aalesund.
Though only capped twice by Ghana, Gyasi, who scored or created 10 goals in 27 league games last season, would not require a work permit to move to English football, having been born and raised in the Netherlands.

Leeds United and Fulham 6/1 to sign Ipswich Town's David McGoldrick, behind linked pair
(http://cdn3-i.hitc-s.com/842/david_mcgoldrick_of_ipswich_town_take_the_ball_around_goalkeeper_677654.jpg)
Both Leeds United and Fulham are believed to be in the market for strikers this month.
David McGoldrick of Ipswich Town take the ball around goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald of Leeds United during the Sky Bet Championship match between Ipswich Town and Leeds United at Portman Road...
Leeds United and Fulham are in the running to sign David McGoldrick, after bookmakers Bet Victor opened a market on the Ipswich Town striker's next club on Wednesday.
The pair are 6/1 to secure McGoldrick's signature before 3rd February, behind Cardiff City [2/1] and Birmingham City [4/1], who were recently linked with moves for the 30-year-old [the Sun].
Both Leeds and Fulham are believed to be in the market for strikers this month, while McGoldrick, who has scored eight goals in 21 outings this season, is out of contract in June.
Despite his impressive haul, however, McGoldrick has only started two of Ipswich's last six league games since his return from injury, and the Tractor Boys may be open to cashing in with Joe Garner and Martyn Waghorn having equalled and bettered, respectively, the Irishman's goal tally this season.
Martyn Waghorn of Ipswich Town during the Sky Bet Championship match between Ipswich Town and Leeds United at Portman Road on January 13, 2018 in Ipswich, England.
McGoldrick, who scored when Ipswich were beaten 3-2 by Leeds last September, has had permanent spells at Notts County, Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Town.
Despite his six Irish caps, the versatile striker hails from Nottingham, and may favour a move closer to home, which could put Leeds or Birmingham in the driving seat.

Jerome great value at 1.5m
Oliveira of Norwich would be another Potuguese disaster. Not rated by either Notts Forest or Norwich fans. Surely FFC wouldn't follow up Fonte with him ??
Gayle would be a very positive statement and would get us goals. Proven and British -good combo.
Would welcome some young current champ players or lower league players who could make the step up. They are definitely there, we just don't have the scouting or desire to make these things happen.
Would also like some experience within the ranks.

He's scored 7 goals in the last two and a half seasons (1 last season and 6 the year before) and is yet to score this season, why does everyone think he'll be the missing piece of the puzzle? Yes he's scored at almost 1 in 2 in the championship but he's also not played in the championship in 3 and a half years, added to the fact he's hardly played this season so won't be match fit or be overly sharp to drop into a team chasing promotion.

Buy a player from the lower leagues - can he make the ste up?
Buy a player from abroad - can he adjust to the new country and league?
Buy a player from the same league - will he actually improve us?
Buy a player from the league above - hasn't played much or hasn't performed
There will always be question marks no matter who we sign but Ulloa has proven himself in the Championship and was an integral role player in the Leicester side that won the title. But the fact of the matter is that he's not good enough for a team with Leicesters ambitions since then.
The most important thing, for me, is that he's exactly the right type of player for us and of course the fact that he was a beast at Brighton. He's big, strong and can hold the ball up but he's also a poacher.
Gayle, for example, might be a better player and have a better record but I'm not so sure it's that type of striker we need.

He wasn't integral in their league win. He scored 6 times and started 7 games. He's played 19mins all this season and is 31. I am delighted it doesn't look like we are going there.

If he is
1) nothing will happen until Tuesday earliest as he will be with the Jags Sunday .
2) we could have a real problem if the Jags win on Sunday as the Super Bowl is not until 4 Feb . ( I would hope though he would come for a couple of days if he was needed to sign off something ! )

Not being an insider, I have no idea about this sort of stuff. But I believe the electric telephone is available in this part of Surrey and, provided Mr Marconi's cable has been connected, fairly rapid communication with the New World is not an impossibility.

If you really want to feel depressed, read the economic forecasters in the 'Shahid Khan' thread....On second thoughts, don't. I started to and it's taken two cups of strong espresso to unfreeze my brain. :dft012:
Melancholy is my middle name. And I'm not a cat person so as long as I steer well clear of the Shahid Khan thread I'll be able to get on.
But seriously, Ulloa is everything we need and now is the time to 'do everething it takes' to help the team to kick on. So if Ulloa instead goes to a rival it would mean that he was available and would be a huge missed opportunity by the people running the transfers.
He's scored 7 goals in the last two and a half seasons (1 last season and 6 the year before) and is yet to score this season, why does everyone think he'll be the missing piece of the puzzle? Yes he's scored at almost 1 in 2 in the championship but he's also not played in the championship in 3 and a half years, added to the fact he's hardly played this season so won't be match fit or be overly sharp to drop into a team chasing promotion.
Buy a player from the lower leagues - can he make the ste up?
Buy a player from abroad - can he adjust to the new country and league?
Buy a player from the same league - will he actually improve us?
Buy a player from the league above - hasn't played much or hasn't performed
There will always be question marks no matter who we sign but Ulloa has proven himself in the Championship and was an integral role player in the Leicester side that won the title. But the fact of the matter is that he's not good enough for a team with Leicesters ambitions since then.
The most important thing, for me, is that he's exactly the right type of player for us and of course the fact that he was a beast at Brighton. He's big, strong and can hold the ball up but he's also a poacher.
Gayle, for example, might be a better player and have a better record but I'm not so sure it's that type of striker we need.
He wasn't integral in their league win. He scored 6 times and started 7 games. He's played 19mins all this season and is 31. I am delighted it doesn't look like we are going there.
Personaly I would love us to sign Ulloa. If not then Crouch for a season would be ok.

Crouch? Complete lack of imagination on this board. Grabban - yawn. Ulloa - yawn. Crouch - zzzz. These arent forward thinking options, we need the next Vardy, Gray, etc not the old ones.

Thanks for the insult. We may differ but until now I wouldn't have dreamt of suggesting that you were a deluded, arrogant fool. Ulloa was superb for Leicester in their Prem winning season and has only featured less often because he is not the best fit in the Leicester team. Given his ability he has found it hard to accept not getting regular starts but there is no suggestion he has an attitude problem, just a healthy desire to play. He is very powerful, has an excellent shots to goals conversion rate, is good with his head and works hard. Crouch is someone who is grossly underrated by many who are less well informed (such as yourself it would seem); he is far more than just a tall man, he has excellent balance, quick feet and skill with a superb nose for goal. He is also a personal friend and I can tell you that he is extremely fit and could easily slot in and cope with 90 mins in the championship.

I'm not sure we've seen enough of Kamara and Fonte on the same pitch even. Fonte needs a hold up player so he can be on the end of things. I think it would bode well for Fonte to have Oliviera as a direct competitor though.

Well to be fair to Joka in the last 20 minutes of games we are the top goalscorers in the championship and in last ten minutes joint 3rd best. So could be argued we are playing exactly the right way and just need to have faith in the style and process that wears teams down.

This is a very good point. If Jokanovic wanted a "plan B" striker he could have used Matt Smith. He clearly doesn't want that. And his persistence does seem to work. We often get a late goal when the other team is worn out from chasing the ball for 90 mins. The high pressing tactics many teams use against us is exhausting and not many can do it for 90 minutes.
We need a striker that Jokanovic actually wants! (I just hope it's not Chris Martin...)

Quote from one of todays newspapers
"Brighton manager Chris Hughton is expecting another manic end to the January transfer window, Hughton has yet to add to his squad since the turn of the year despite having been searching for a striker since the Seagulls were promoted last May. A centre-half also remains on Hughton's wish list this month. "There are no updates at this moment" he said " The business is mostly done at the tail end of (the window) more than the beginning"
Going by the above we've got no chance with what we want, we're way down the pecking order with anybody decent.

Reference to Crouch. We can´t cross a ball & we don´t play hoof ball so what use would he be to us. Wouldn´t want us to change our style just to justify having Crouch.
Exactly. Player suggestions that don't match our style does not make sense.

@MJG how does this compare with last year? I seem to recall we did a lot of damage to opposing teams last season at the end of the second half. How does it match up, last season versus this?

I may not be MJG, but I can certainly give you the answer (albeit I record the data in 15-min blocks as per Football Manager).
After 27 games last season (i.e. at the same stage), we had scored 9 in the last 15 minutes (20% of all of our goals).
After 46 games last season, we had scored 17 in the last 15 minutes (20% of all our goals). After the play-offs, this stays at 20%.
This season, after 27 games, we have scored 12 in the last 15 minutes; 30% of all of our goals.
Compared to the full season (inc. play-offs):
1st-15th: 7.5% (+1.7% on last year).
16th-30th: 12.5% (-1.5%)
31st-HT: 17.5% (-5.8%)
46th-60th: 10.0% (-8.6%)
61st-75th: 22.5% (+3.9%)
76th-FT: 30.0% (+10.2%)

That's not a bad shout actually, if you could get him on loan with a potential deal at the end.

Fulham keen to send young midfielder out on loan
Fulham are looking to loan out youngster Mattias Kait this month.
The Estonia international has impressed for the Whites' Under-23 side and the club want him to gain first-team experience. League clubs have been made aware that midfielder Kait, 19, is available.
He is under contract at Craven Cottage until 2019.

Report: swap deal for high-scoring Championship midfielder in exchange of Newcastle striker
According to the Northern Echo, Newcastle United could suggest a swap deal with Fulham for their midfielder Tom Cairney and Toons striker Dwight Gayle. A similar deal was reported on summer transfer deadline day, and it looks like it could finally materialize this time around.
The Championship outfit want to renew their interest in Gayle after failing to land him last summer, while they are also open to sanctioning a £20million sales of Cairney. With West Ham keen on Jonjo Shelvey, securing the signature of the Fulham man means Newcastle will be free to cash in on the £15million-rated England international.
Cairney brings goals and assists to the table – something Shelvey has struggled with in the Premier League this term. The 27-year-old Scotland international has scored 21 league goals for the London club since arriving in 2015-16, 16 more than the Toons man has managed within the same period. Getting a quality striker to replace the misfiring Gayle from the cash realized from Shelvey's sales, and adding a goalscoring midfielder like Cairney to the squad will be perfect business done for Newcastle this window.

be careful for what you wish for.. our team on form may be dominant in the championship but teams that steamrolled the league last year or got promoted have struggled making the step up.
If we do go up we really have to consider our players and take our squad up another level. Not a single player in our squad is a proven or successful premiership player.

I care because I want the majority of the squad that I support to be Fulham players. I have no objection to a sensible number of loan players and I recognise the obvious benefits. However I am slightly concerned st the current balance and do not want to see it pushed ever further.
Sorry if that is an old fashioned view and not terribly pragmatic but it is the way I am.

https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-04/matt-targett-new-deal-southampton-announcement
But I am still happy about this loan .
Watching Saturday it was clear that though excellent in defence Odoi does not offer the attack down the left that Fredericks does down the right enabling Piazon to play more centrally and linked up with Fonte to great effect .
If Targett can replicate Fredericks enabling Sess to play more tucked on upfront I think we address out biggest issue in the starting 11
If Targett could replicate Fredericks he wouldn't be out on loan but playing in the struggling Southampton team.

Sess has scored more goals this season than Hugill, also he didn't play well on Saturday against Birmingham and was subbed in the 57th minute. Perhaps his head was in the wrong place with FFC on his mind!

Still think Martin would be a great signing. With Kamara, Fonte, Martin you'd have strength in depth in that position and 3 different player types for different situations and tactics. Ok Martin isn't the top quality marquee signing we may have wanted but let's be honest, he's as good as the other two I've just mentioned. The only reason I can't see happening is Derby won't want to strengthen a rival.

But that's the problem, Roger (or one of the many problems as I see it). In the 1000+ minutes he has been on a football field since returning to Derby he has banged in a total of ONE goal. Assists? He has managed one of those as well.

Totally agree with you. For all his faults Martin did a good job last season and offers something different from our current strikers. He knows our style of play so he could fit in straight away.and he's highly experienced in the Championship. OK he's only scored one goal this season, but hadn't only got one in twenty plus games before he joined us last season and he still managed to hit the net fairly regularly?

I always want people to judge me by what I can do when I'm fired up, not the points in my life when I've been unhappy or couldn't be arsed with whatever I was doing. We know Martin has it in his locker. He hasn't suddenly become a less inherently talented player

So you want us to sign him so that he can sit on the bench , same as he does at Derby !

We sign Targett on loan & suddenly the media put 2 & 2 together to make 5 regarding Sess. They all are saying this puts his future with us in doubt. Don´t they realise that bringing in Targett meant Sess will be able to play in his best position. These articles have been at the request of the "big" clubs who want Sess. Tapping up by the back door.

Let's look at this from another angle, for those advocating Chris Martin, who would you leave out for him ?
For those supporting the return of Martin, who would be in your front 3 ?

Quote from: Riversider on January 23, 2018, 05:08:52 PMwasn't exactly twelve months ago now was it? Yes leading up to his strike I certainly would have paid the extra on top of the loan fee for him. But as I said when he went on strike I would have let him rot in the reserves.

Dembele is arrogant, but he is one of our own and a fantastic striker by all accounts. He's done very well for himself with Celtic, a proper stepping stone for his career and development. I'd take him back, but understand that I also want Fonte and AK over him. They want to be here, they are seeing the fruits of their labor, and they will stick with us so long as we don't throw them to the way side.
Quote from: Tabby on January 24, 2018, 04:26:03 PM
Javier Hernandez wouldn't go down to the championship, and I don't think Dembele would either. Dembele would want to progress with his move, and Chicarito would likely go to Mexico before he dropped to second division football in Europe.
It'd be kind of like if we lent Berbatov to Leicester instead of Monaco.
Quote from: Bracken White on January 24, 2018, 01:11:02 PMSo right Kebano, Ayite, Ojo, Piazon, and Sess. should be capable of seeing us through the remaining 18 games and play offs.
Do feel, that we should be seeking a target man CF to compliment what we have. All rumours about forwards who are wingers, for me, do not fit the bill. Equally, it is a solid strong & aerially adept CH that we need at the back. Apparently a Belgian CH has been rumoured.

Ruben Rochina in action for Rubin Kazan against CSKA Moscow
West Ham United, Fulham and La Liga side Girona are weighing up moves for former Blackburn Rovers forward Ruben Rochina from Rubin Kazan, HITC Sport understands.
Rochina could be available before the close of the transfer window due to Rubin Kazan's ongoing financial problems.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Russian side in summer 2016, has not been paid for several months and could follow ex-team-mate Yann M'Vila by requesting for Fifa to terminate his contract to allow him to become a free agent.
A number of clubs have been alerted to Rochina's possible availability as they look to strengthen their attacking options before the close of the transfer window.

Ruben Rochina playing for Blackburn Rovers
West Ham's attacking options have been badly hit by injuries, with Andy Carroll facing up to three months out after undergoing foot surgery, while Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic face spells out with hamstring injuries.
With doubts also surrounding the futures Javier Hernandez, Diafra Sakho and Andre Ayew, West Ham are considering bringing in a new forward and Rochina is thought to figure on their wanted list.
Promotion hopefuls Fulham are also in the market for a new striker this month as they look to maintain their push for the Premier League and they are keeping tabs on Rochina.
Girona are also ready to offer former Spain youth international Rochina a return to his homeland as they look to strengthen their squad before next week's transfer deadline
Rochina moved to Blackburn from Barcelona in January 2011 and scored 11 goals in 54 appearances, although almost half of them were from the substitutes' bench.
Rochina spent the second half of the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons on loan at Real Zaragoza and Rayo Vallecano respectively, before he made a permanent return to Spain in the summer of 2014 when he signed for Granada.

Quote from: Jimsbeerbelly on January 24, 2018, 09:45:27 PMBrighton are doing right thing in the fact they will need him next season if they drop back down.
Norwood is not worth 8M - 4M max.
They are being shrewd here, and I don't blame them.
If they are relegated, they will retain his services, as they know he's a proven Champ ready player, getting game time.
If they stay up, watch them offer him to us for 4M in the summer.
They are basically pricing him out of a move, for now.

We can sign 8 players on loan is it as long as only 5 are named in a team? Mollo and Soares are still named in the squad? I am wondering if they will go or are gone by the end of January.
As for a forward and defender. I think we really need both if we are serious about pushing on. But then as usual we have tried but failed to find the right players in the Summer.

Don't really think bringing back Martin would be wise. After his scandalous behaviour last time, a lot of fans will be looking for one poor performance to get on his back. Puts a lot of pressure on him.
Would be good if we can't get better in but could rock the boat.
Quote from: Deeping_white on January 25, 2018, 12:40:20 PM
Offer Derby a derisory £1 million and tell Martin he's got to take a £15k wage cut to join us if he's so desperate to play and see what they say. In all honestly I'd rather stick with Kamara and Fonte though, Kamara has Martin's strength but is about 10x fitter and faster, and Fonte is also more mobile, works harder and has better movement than Martin did so I'm not really sure what he brings to the team if we do get him back. Arguably you drop Fonte of the two strikers to accommodate him, but he's just cost an absolute fortune and I don't think the club would take that hit, and Martin has scored 1 goal and definitely won't be fit so it just seems an odd one to gamble on.

a bid for Norwood - just dont understand why we would do that now. If we were fortunate to be promoted he would be surplus to requirements and i'm still not convinced that he is championship promotion material. Great dead ball striker, good penalty taker under pressure but limited mobility and rather prone to losing/giving the ball away in the wrong areas.
Bringing Martin back is an insult to the fans. His strike action last year was a disgrace and his performance in the play offs dire. He wasn't good enough last year and I don't want him anywhere near our club. Love to know what his fitness levels are like having sat on that fat rear of his for 6 months. I dread to think of the match day atmosphere is he arrived and continued to underwhelm. Nor good for him, not good for the team and a bloody disgrace for the supporters.
Fulham for crying out loud, pull a couple of rabbits out of the hat and sign a 2/3 quality players whether on loan or perm who can really make a decisive difference in our push for promotion. Last year we had a great run but ultimately we were let down by a lack of firepower. There is a chance that history will repeat itself unless we look to be more ambitious.

If we fail to sign a top striker and a top CB Jok may well leave. That would be a huge loss as he's done brilliantly this season despite our awful summer.
He just hasn't done brilliantly. Gary Rowett is an example of someone who has done brilliantly.

Has the season ended already? If not there's always time for you to switch your allegiance. You could then switch back to Fulham when Slavisa finally leaves (which may not be for some time yet).

Don't really think bringing back Martin would be wise. After his scandalous behaviour last time, a lot of fans will be looking for one poor performance to get on his back. Puts a lot of pressure on him.
Would be good if we can't get better in but could rock the boat.
You've literally described Button.

I'll get behind anyone Joka puts in a white shirt. Life's too short to hold a grudge against someone who did not want to relocate his family.
It's a pity no one at Fulham had the presence of mind to give Martin back to Derby for Vydra when McClaren did his de-stabilising trick; he was not enough of a wally not to realise we were a big threat last yr to their playoff place.

He knows our system and players, he is mates with Cairney, Joka likes him. He has scored in this division and complements what we have in Kamara and Fonte. Compare that to some unknown Belgian or Serb that comes in or blowing £15 on Gayle who still does not give you a hold up player.
I would want him on a permanent move so he moves his family south and we do not deal with that distraction, which was part of his issue last time.

Centre back is my biggest concern closely followed by securing Piazon on a permanent deal. Think we have the firepower with sess hopefully now moving forward on a permanent basis. Pay what City want for Flint

CAIRNEY WANTS HAMMERS MOVE
Fulham captain Tom Cairney wants to move to West Ham but Fulham are refusing to sell their star man, Sky Sports News understands.
The Hammers are ready to pay £15m for the 27-year-old but the Whites have not intended to sell any of their key players in the January transfer window.
The west London club are also in a strong position after Cairney signed a contract extension just last summer until 2021, following interest from Newcastle United.

Yes I agree, we have to have more options, that is imperative if we want to achieve promotion. It will be a result to get both on board if we are serious about attempting to make a top six spot, although I wouldn't rule out second place either, and to achieve that we will need players of their ability and experience to make it happen.

Are either good enough for the prem? There's no need to fill the team up with championship players only to have to sell them in 6 months. Bit more forward planning would be great.
Not talking about them being good enough for the prem, we are not in the Premier.
I am talking about players who are good enough to get us there first, that's what matters. Both those players are as good as what we have, if not better. If we ever get promoted, then we will know if there good enough. If not then we have a few million after Khan has trousered as much as he can to purchase Premier players.
Let's just get there first which will be a hard enough task anyway. Then worry about how we stay and survive and consolidate, and those extra millions will no doubt reinforce our ability to attract the better players.

I think at 23 and 25 both these targets have the time and ability to improve as Cairney did. Id rather we looked closer to home than Belgium, France and Portugal etc.....

They wouldn't consider 40 million solely because 40 million hasn't been offered. If it had been, we'd be discussing Tom's replacement right now, as well as composing songs for our new CB, celebrating making Norwood permanent as well as Targett. Nevermind the medical bills to pay for the arm that was ripped off when we snatched up the offer.
Unless I'm mistaken, that'd be a record signing for a Championship player....at 28 years old....with recent knee issues.

They wouldn't consider 40 million solely because 40 million hasn't been offered. If it had been, we'd be discussing Tom's replacement right now, as well as composing songs for our new CB, celebrating making Norwood permanent as well as Targett. Nevermind the medical bills to pay for the arm that was ripped off when we snatched up the offer.
Unless I'm mistaken, that'd be a record signing for a Championship player....at 28 years old....with recent knee issues.
I think you're missing the point somewhat - we're deliberately pricing him out of a move because he's invaluable to us, nobody in their right mind would pay £40m and if they do then fair play because it's a stupidly large amount of money.

Nick Powell is forever going to be that promising youngster who is the next big thing, but before you know it he will be 29 having gone from championship to L1 and back again every few years and in the end nothing more than big standard midfielder.

From Sky Sports transfer centre:
CAIRNEY KEEN ON HAMMERS BUT STAYING PUT
Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney wants to move to West Ham but accepts he will not be sold this month, Sky Sports understands. West Ham were told Fulham would not even sell Cairney for £40m when they offered £15m last week. Cairney is aware of West Ham's interest and would like to play in the Premier League but Fulham have told him he will not be moving, and the player and his representatives have accepted the decision.Fulham are in a strong position because Cairney signed a contract extension last summer.

The Club said "Not even £40 mil." If Wet Spam offered £50 mil or more I would still tell them to blow some more bubbles from their rear end.

Our transfer business post-stats has been better than pre-stats.
Sorry but you cannot just say that based on mitroglou.
If you want to propose a definition or measure of each player's relative "success" at the club, balance that against the fee paid for them, then apply it to a broad dataset (eg last 5 or 10 seasons), and then after all that you can demonstrate a higher success rate in the last 2 seasons since we started using stats, then ok. But personally I do not think that analysis would show any improvement, potentially the opposite it fact.

We've done some great business since stats - Malone, Aluko, Kebano, Ayite, Johansen.

ATM 30% seem to be about TC.
5% were about the JAGS, but their season is over now so that will reduce.
11% are based on 'other' non transfer issues.
So overall one third (or 33%) are actually about transfers.
Compared to other club websites, we are in the top 15% for transfer threads with a transfer to stats ratio above 30%!
See what you would be missing out on!!

Yeah. I get what they're doing by saying they wouldn't accept 40 million for him - stating a ridiculous amount to keep clubs away. I'm also stating that they would never expect anyone to come in with that valuation. And, I am saying that if that stupid amount was offered, they wouldn't even take the time to blink - he'd be on his way.

The La Liga club are keen to boost their midfield options and believe the England U18 international would provide a significant boost to their ranks.
Man City and Arsenal have previously been linked with the teenager, who has made two first team starts and is eligible to play for Norway, Denmark and England.

We don't have any cups to play the kids in, and Edun is ahead him in the pecking order. Would be good for him to get some first team minutes.
You are so right - the place to continue their footballing education
The place to .........'Ponce '
In Joka we trust
With Joka we ponce

la liga is also the best place for them to go and learn our tippy tappy style of play
Quote from: Allestree andy on January 29, 2018, 05:03:07 PM
Levante want to sign Fulham's highly-rated 17-year old central midfielder Matt O'Riley on loan until the end of the season.
The La Liga club are keen to boost their midfield options and believe the England U18 international would provide a significant boost to their ranks.
What do you think, would do him no harm.
thoughts anyone?

I'm calling this one for the tiger.
I saw a fight between a polar bear and a walrus on Planet Earth the other night. The walrus parked the bus and the polar bear couldn't break him down. If the tiger spends any time at all in the tape room, he'll see that the bear is pretty predictable and can be beaten on the counter.

Shocking if true, and would really, really question our boards intentions, if this one went through. Yes, it was 8 years ago, but, Okaka is absolutely bang average, and his goal scoring record is poor. Wouldn't mind if he was technically gifted, but he isn't. Would rather we continued to develop Kamara.

Watford fans like him. General reactions from other championship clubs fans on twitter as well as Watford fans is that it would be a huge deal for FUlham and they doubt it will get done

Mate, do yourself a favour, and try dropping the whole facts not fiction attitude thingy, it ain't good.
Quote from: Jeroen on January 29, 2018, 08:36:40 PMCouldn't have put it better myself!
The way I see it is that after spending money on Kamara & Fonte in the summer the club is not going to spend +£10M for a striker - we are the 2nd highest scoring team in the country, less than £10m will get you a bang average striker and the money is better spend on a CB, So.....
A Loan it is - who would you prefer;
Martin or Okaka?!?!
I know who I would prefer!!
Quote from: Lighthouse on January 29, 2018, 08:50:19 PM
Okaka is a disappointing signing on loan until we sign him and he scores and plays well and then we will moan that he should have been bought on a permanent deal.
Quote from: Tabby on January 29, 2018, 08:55:45 PMDid he play under Joka?
Okaka might be a Slavisa recommendation, seeing as he probably still knows some people around Watford.
Quote from: OMalleyCat on January 29, 2018, 09:02:07 PMNo. But I assume that there are still a couple of coaches around that he knows at the club.Quote from: Tabby on January 29, 2018, 08:55:45 PMDid he play under Joka?

Telegraph today say that West Ham have increased their bid for Cairney to £18m. Seems as if they are not prepared to take no for an answer.
Quote from: howitis on January 30, 2018, 10:33:27 AM
Quick question to you all.
With West Ham seemingly throwing out interest in Cairney and Shelvey and Newcastle having historical interest in Cairney would you consider the following:-
Trying to negotiate a player and cash deal with Newcastle allowing Cairney to move to Newcastle and bringing Shelvey + Gayle to Fulham ?
Newcastle definitely bring to bring in other forward power (tried Sturridge) they may let Gayle go if they can use funds towards another player. Shelvey never seems to be quite first choice for Benitez (trust issue it appears) and Shelvey keen to return to London.
I very much doubt Shelvey would be prepared to drop down a division (personally I think he is capable of getting back in the England set up. Midfield very weak) but think he is a great player and certainly a match for Cairney.
Cairney + £10m ??
Quote from: KJS on January 30, 2018, 10:38:26 AMAll much to complicated for our transfer team to handle, they seem to be locked into simple loans and will want to just repeat the Martin deal they set up eighteen months ago.Quote from: howitis on January 30, 2018, 10:33:27 AM

Grabban - def up for grabs
Walters - Burnley - experienced head, great work rate
Tammy Abraham - Swansea - Swansea now have Bony and are looking to get 2nd Ayew brother in from West Ham today for £18m. Abraham proven in Champ.
Berahino - Stoke - been misfiring for a long time but would the drop down get him back on track
Connor Wickham - physical
Solanke - game time very limited at Liverpool.

Interesting
At first glance it appears to be saying he is not for sale
If that was the case there was no need to say anything at all but just to sit on their hands
More likely they are advertising his availability and saying that they will wait to see what's going to be offered

we started the transfer window looking at flint and dwight gayle, we are 48 hours from the end and we are looking at Okaka loan, martin loan, norwood permanent. Good grief !!!!
Please is there nobody working at fulham who recognises what we need and has the ability to get a deal done.
Fending off interest in Cairney and Fredericks is great (though not 100% concluded) but we need to show some real intent. We need 4 quality improvements right across the team.
Goalkeeper - let Button move on, have Betts as number 2 and get in a genuine number 1.
CB - need a powerful CB who is strong in the air and a leader of the backline vocally. Needs to help pose a threat in opp box at corners where we are completely inept.
MF - Hopefully Cairney injury will clear but lets get another creative force.
ST - how long do we have to wait. We really need 2 in this position. Big man and goal poacher. We currently have neither. Gayle would have been the goalscoring threat bot sure what hold up/link up play strong CF's are available but yes the Ulloa and Huguil type would be perfect.
I see Derby linked with McLean of West Brom. Proves there are players available in the Prem who can do a job despite him not matching any of our current requirements.

ST - how long do we have to wait. We really need 2 in this position. Big man and goal poacher. We currently have neither. Gayle would have been the goalscoring threat bot sure what hold up/link up play strong CF's are available but yes the Ulloa and Huguil type would be perfect.
I see Derby linked with McLean of West Brom. Proves there are players available in the Prem who can do a job despite him not matching any of our current requirements.
It has become obvious that there is no intent on the part of our Chairman and 'football expert' son of doing anything for the club which involves actually spending money on players. Now you wait for us to make a couple of big signings;-) Seriously, don't hold your breath.

we started the transfer window looking at flint and dwight gayle, we are 48 hours from the end and we are looking at Okaka loan, martin loan, norwood permanent. Good grief !!!!
Please is there nobody working at fulham who recognises what we need and has the ability to get a deal done.
Fending off interest in Cairney and Fredericks is great (though not 100% concluded) but we need to show some real intent. We need 4 quality improvements right across the team.
Goalkeeper - let Button move on, have Betts as number 2 and get in a genuine number 1.

I actually would like to commend the club on how well they run the shop. There's literally no fat, it's all good contracts and they actually care about getting rid of players for some sort of fee if they're not going to play. That's just smart business, regardless of the "net spend" position.
I know as someone who runs a business that I'd be in deep doodoo if I ran the shop the way some fans want us to run Fulham. Believe it or not, the management of our team is topnotch.

However one has to wonder what would happen if you had spent huge amounts of money on failed items. Then decided that instead of growing your business you had best stop making huge gambles and just were lent items from other business that all cost money but were never used. It really isn't very smart to be given an opportunity to pay 2 million pounds for a loan item. Or have somebody decide what it is best on the shop floor when the shop floor manager doesn't use them. :dft012:

in all honesty there's not really any need to discuss this, it's not a matter of opinion, the data is there for anyone who wants to look across the leagues, whether it's championship, premier league, la liga, look at the relationship between clubs' spending and league position, there will be a correlation and it will not be subtle... simple irrefutable fact really
(for a start the club that's currently in every one of those leagues i've just mentioned is also the club that's spent the most)
Quote from: filham on January 30, 2018, 04:34:18 PMCertainly agree, you could get Chris Martin for a whole season (almost) for that even though he would probably only want to play 1/2 the time.
£2m to loan a player for less than half a season, that just cannot be true, Slam the door on that one quickly before the window closes.

How about Club C - spent £30million, got promotion, did not comply with financial fair play, got relegated again and then in dispute over a £60 million bill with a risk of demotion to bottom tier.

Look lets not keep talking about how much money we should spend, that really is not the point. The important thing is that we need to sign players to cover certain areas of weakness in the squad to help maintain a promotion push.

Not interested in success - sustainability is the name of the game
I'm sure all those supporters who think the club is well run must be getting such enjoyment out of balancing the books
Far better than investing in the team for a promotion push isn't it ? That warm glow of a queue of loanees and intermittent sales of our best players

Absolutely that is the important point. My point was, however, is that already have a high number of players on loan so any further additions to the squad will involved paying for them and I just have a nasty feeling we may have reached the limit of our spending of this season with our purchase of Kamara and Fonte in the summer. I really hope I'm wrong
Quote from: Tabby on January 30, 2018, 06:02:01 PMAbsolutely unlikely unless we are going to play a 5-3-1-1 system with 2 left full backs to confuse the opposition as well as all of us, I think we need more wingers (lol), or perhaps Targett's loan deal was only for a few weeks?Quote from: mkras99 on January 30, 2018, 05:59:45 PM

Looking at his profile on Wiki, 25YO , good scoring ratio. For £8 mil he must be the Plan B we are looking for. Got to be worth a serious bid although I think Leeds are favourites.

Just had a peek on the PNE messageboards, seems hes practically gone but no-one seems to know where. Not sure earlier Palace link is true, Stoke & Newcastle rumours but nothing concrete. Apparently turned down an offer from Reading.
Wouldn't surprise me if we were trying to do something , was linked with him last window

This is just a rumour now but Rafa Soares is expected to terminate his loan with Fulham and move to Portimonense, on loan for the rest of the season. This according to several publications in Portugal.

Buy we aren't looking for a plan B are we? At least not that sort of plan B.
Oh dear, egg on face if SJ signs him tomorrow!
Quote from: @jolslover on January 30, 2018, 09:48:20 PMWe don't we need him as a plan A, it would take the stress out of things!
The plan B myth is exactly that, We have scored more goals in the last 30 minutes than any side in the league, and we have scored the second most goals in the league. So Why do we need a big striker as a plan b?

But the fat has been caused by their own incompetence in the first instance. I can recruit people to add to the wage bill and then get rid. That is just stupid and wasteful, not cutting the fat and means that monies that could be invested in better players has been pissed away wastefully

You could argue that with Targett freeing up Odoi CB has more cover now .
I agree though that we need more depth - I would rather an non loan upgrade over Kalas rather than a loaned back up player .
Unless Djalo is making the grade . We haven't really seen him and have no idea how he is progressing in training .

Hmmm, agree we need another cb, but i still think we need a proper goal scorer. Someone who is capable of 20-25 goals per season. As much improved AK & Fonte have been, neither are really strikers and I don't think can be relied upon to score regularly. The trouble is acquiring such player.

We are scoring lots of goals and the back line are doing a great job too.
I agree the squad is good I expect us to be top 6 but I do believe we need another CB of a good level to help get us over the line will be a little disappointed if no CB comes in today by I agree if we keep hold of Cairney & Fredericks overall it's a success

Galatasary as well as Malaga in for Okaka. With the Hugill deal to Palace apparently ficticious, do hope he's still in contention - again a CF type striker which is something we don't have.
The Liam Moore rumour appears to have amounted to nothing - only hope that whoever arrives is someone SJ wants! Let the day unfold.

Watford striker Stefano Okaka has rejected a move to Fulham in favour of a switch to Spanish side Malaga, according to HITC.
The Cottagers had been in pole position to secure a deal for the Italian on a loan deal until the end of the season, but Okaka has opted for a move to the relegation threatened Spaniards.
Okaka spent a short loan spell with Fulham whilst on the books at Roma, but the 28-year-old is not keen to drop down to the English second tier at this stage of his career.
The forward only moved to Watford in 2016 but has found himself on the periphery at Vicarage Road this season, with new boss Javi Gracia keen to move the player on this month.
Okaka is reportedly travelling to Spain today to undergo a medical and complete his move to Andalusia.

Fredericks is out of contract in the summer and has been discussing a new deal since December. We have previously reported he was of interest to Swansea this month.

It's just your opinion we aren't showing ambition. I agree we need a ST but at the same time, we are top of the form table 2nd highest scorers and in the play-offs. Maybe they dont want to risk bringing in a new player and upsetting the apple cart. Because of past failings we all look at this in a pessimistic way. We said the same in Jan last year and we made the play-offs. Let's just see what happens.

Humphrys and Williams have joined Rochdale and St Johnstone respectively on loan for the rest of the season.

Cant believe we are not going to plug the gap left in the back four by Signessonn and Madle leaving. We have Odoi covering all back four positions, without super luck with injuries that is going to hurt us before the end of the season.

Do the club come out and say no further business to be done? I can't remember from previous windows.
Quote from: Bracken White on January 31, 2018, 02:05:32 PM
Read that Galatasaray interest in Okaka has ceased as their window shuts at 9pm & there's no time for a medical etc if he flies to Istambul. So could it be back on for us? Feel the £2M Loan fee for 6M is oppresive - here's a novelty, a complete transfer?

tbh, which player would come to this club?
The owners have shown zero ambition.
In comparison look at Villa & Wolves.
A player who is happy to take the risk that he may get Prem football next year.
If I were looking to get into the Prem but wasn't quite at the level, the team who are currently top of the form table and in the play-offs would be a good shout.
But, my point is, we are not a club showing intent that it WANTS to get promotion.
It's not a good signal to players on the market for a move.
It's just your opinion we aren't showing ambition. I agree we need a ST but at the same time, we are top of the form table 2nd highest scorers and in the play-offs. Maybe they dont want to risk bringing in a new player and upsetting the apple cart. Because of past failings we all look at this in a pessimistic way. We said the same in Jan last year and we made the play-offs. Let's just see what happens.

But by the time our squad had reached the play offs we could all see they looked tired and jaded. We never really threatened to win either legs of those matches. The same could easily happen this year if we fail to strengthen.

Sigurdsson wasn't here before he got sold, I'm not sure why he keeps getting brought up as a loss of personnel when he was practically already gone.
That being said, I hope that a defender gets signed before the end of the window. Other than Steven Sess I don't trust the youth to step up cover in a crisis.

I would think that Slav now has a bare bones squad - if he adds two more he will have his squad. Literally all the fat is gone. Only thing left is Cisse or Edun to go out on loan and then we have a THIN squad. Add another 2 names and we're lean and mean and ready for promotion.

Lets hope not.
He'd never get in the side for a start. Wouldn't want to see a real talent ruined like that. Although they do have youth team players buying £3.7m houses so at least he'd do well financially.
Also, how stupid would Khan jnr look if he did leave after him coming out publicly to say he's going nowhere.
Quote from: JoelH5 on January 31, 2018, 03:27:52 PM
Why would we let a loan player go back on the last day of the window? Surely we could have done that weeks ago if he wasn't needed. In my view it's to open up a space for a new player.

Soares I can only presume was a stats signing so I would be surprised if he wasn't on his way out the day he arrived. Manager gives stats department another kick-in.

Quote from: Chutney on January 31, 2018, 03:04:16 PMWe have Ayite, Fonte and Kamara so we can't really say we are badly in need of another striker. All of the desperation should be channelled to a new centre back . At the moment Odoi alone is covering all back four positions.
so are we signing the desperately needed striker and CB or repeating the mistakes of last January? We could really push on and go all out for an automatic promotion challenge, but its looking really unlikely with every passing hour, so frustrating.
Quote from: grandad on January 31, 2018, 05:20:37 PMI agree, there are some ridiculous amounts being paid and yet other teams in our division seem to be signing good players for up to 8m and also getting loan deals from Premier League clubs and what are we achieving.....NOTHING!!
I am astounded by some of the fees being asked. Leicester wanted a package of cash plus player amounting to £95 mil for Mahrez. Don´t blame Man City for walking away even with all their money.
Quote from: filham on January 31, 2018, 05:22:59 PMAyite is prone to injury, Fonte is definitely not a striker and AK is a young man with some promise but cannot be compared to some of the quality strikers that our play off rivals have! Odoi is flexible, if he wasn't we would be even more vulnerable, our transfer team are going to leap into action within the next hour, otherwise I would prefer they jump off Putney Bridge (if they know where that is).Quote from: Chutney on January 31, 2018, 03:04:16 PMWe have Ayite, Fonte and Kamara so we can't really say we are badly in need of another striker.

I am astounded by some of the fees being asked. Leicester wanted a package of cash plus player amounting to £95 mil for Mahrez. Don´t blame Man City for walking away even with all their money.

Leicester know they wouldn't get a replacement in time, so they quoted a very high fee to put off Man City. Exactly like us with Cairney.

I'll say one thing
IF there is anyone on their way in Fulham has learned how to keep a leak tight ship .
Deafening silence .
Though of course that is partly being a Championship team rather than a Premier Team with a host of "journalists" sniffing around for Gossip .
The Okaka rumour would have come out of Watford not us.
I don't believe nothing is happening .
Though I do believe there is always a chance of no deals being sealed .
Who knows how to price players in todays market ?

Has anyone tweeted the club asking whether anything is happening? Sometimes they may say yes, activity still ongoing

What good is Djalo now, we are suppose to be challenging for promotion, not fannying around with other clubs throw outs who may or may not come good.
That's no use to us now, we need players who good enough to cement a place in the team right away, he is another summer stats failure. Slav has realised he is another stats signing that is a Dud.

Not going to be fussy about any other position but, it makes little sense letting Madl leave without replacing him. Very risky leaving ourselves so thin in that position.

Is he
As far as I remember SJ has brought him on in more than one game to counter the hoof-it-up to a huge forward game
So he can't be a total dud - maybe just not good enough to displace the three player ahead of him
I think this would also be the case for anyone we brought in - would they ever get off the bench?

Actually don't feel we have as big a need re our current squad, just feel a real upgrade somewhere, esp central defence could give us that push to the majic land, so to speak !
Totally understand and accept Khan will not splash the cash. What is dissapointing is that he COULD IF HE WANTED TO.
He must want us to succeed but my guess is that it's just not a big deal for him.

Christie has been brilliant whenever I've seen him but there surely must be a reason why first Derby and now Boro have let him go?
Also kind of odd by us to bring in a good right back when Fredo has made that position his own. Why trade Boro's bench for ours?
However it would/will allow Odoi to only be needed in central defence and maybe left back, as opposed to the whole back four.

We've signed 2 players in those full backs that ensure depth and provide more tactical flexibility (having Sess and Fredericks/Christie playing further up as necessary).
Add Mitrovic as a proper target man and again we get a lot more tactical variance.
Would, in an understated way, be a decent window, and one that could indicate we have an overarching strategy to our off-field operations.

Quote from: grandad on January 31, 2018, 11:40:13 PMI agree that he is a great signing and strengthens the squad, but our weaknesses in identified positions remain. You must agree with that, every Saturday like me you are suggesting substitutions before or just after half time.

If I am one of the "moaners" then I stand by that concern. And in my view the area of depth most lacking is at CB. Is Targett a CG? No. Is Christie a CB? No. Is that part of the squad still thin? Yes.

Mitrovic is a last minute panic that they are trying to push through in time. Madness that we wait until a cancelled loan to another club before we move on a striker.

Well I'm off to bed. Perhaps I will wake up and discover these rumored signings have been confirmed but I won't hold my breath. Still rather surprised we didn't go for a CB though. Can Christie plat LB as well as RB? Perhaps Odoi is to focus on CB only if we get Christie??

Give me the name of a CB who was available, within our fee band & wage limit & wanted to come to us & fight out a 4 way start for 2 places.

Thanks mJG
The only one that has me, and others, slightly confused is Christie. As I understand he is a RB & therefore not a CB replacement for Madl. He also looks to block Stephen Sess route as backup to Fredericks. It reads to me that Fredericks is going in the summer. Of course who knows what division we are planning for when the next window arrives

I support fulham and quins. You don't have to only support one or the other.
I also think you're being a bit ott if I may say so.
Reasons for me thinking this is that whilst I tend to agree we do have a few areas we're light in I do think the three signings we've secured this window are all solid ones. We got rid of a lot of dead weight, which was our depth, but as a club the owner does seem to support the bringing in of new players and in his time, whilst admittedly learning the hard way and convoluted way, has also stood firm for the best interests of the club for the most part.
What I mean by that is he's shown a tolerance for slavisa, who the fans are hugely supportive of and who gets results and the players want to play for, despite his outbursts.
He signs our top players down to long term contracts and holds a strong stance regarding not selling our best players and has also put his son in a senior role at the club...
Now some may question Tony khan and previous transfer windows.. a lot of players have been shown the door this Jan who were brought in and deemed not good enough, but there are two things I want to acknowledge..
Firstly to have the piece of mind to bring in players and acknowledge they aren't working out and take that hit within 6 months because it is the right thing to do, is good business.
Secondly, when the chips were down regarding kline kicking up a fuss and the whole transfer saga came to a head he got rid of kline it seems and has kept the manager which again is the right decision and shows in my eyes he has the best intentions for the club first and foremost... especially when kline was so close to his own family in being tonys friend and having done work with the jaguars.
All in all it may frustrate to see the man take 4 years to get to this point and we may not find the exact way he does things as perfect he does seem to be slowly doing the right things for the club's interests.
If we get to the premiership I hope he can take what he's learned and do it there and to the necessary standard required too.
I have huge admiration and respect for all fayed, but when it comes to the clubs stance on players value to the club, not selling our best players and showing a willingness to go into the market and buy players shahid pips him here and long may it continue.
Plus if you look at our squad we arguably now have two options for each position and in some places more. I agree we should have 3 keepers and I'd have preferred Madl over Djalo, but Madl wanted to leave.

Good additions - I feel i t's been a productive last 10 minutes of window... Hoped you'd do it much earlier Fulham but where's the fun in that?!
Shame about no additional CB as many have said, but one perceived deficiency in our team has been addressed with these new guys:
- Mitrovic 6 ft 3 and strong as an ox
- Christie 6 ft 2 and also strong (was Boro's MOM in my opinion when they came to the Cottage)
- Targett 6 ft and also looks pretty solid for a LB
Hopefully gives us more presence in both penalty areas for set pieces (so long as Mitro keeps his elbows tucked in!).
Well done Fulham overall - you (just about) got there in the end!

Yes, he was a backup to Gayle because Rafa for some unknown reason don`t like him, even though majority of Newcastle fans think he was their best striker.

He seems very pleased with how the transfer window went. Let's hope he can get them to gel quickly and hit the ground running.
Be interesting to see tomorrow's line up!
