Title: TC to West Ham
Post by: Benny on January 26, 2018, 08:18:37 PM
Maybe this is why we bid to buy Oli Norwood this week.....tried and tested replacement I guess.....

Yep.

And a fully fit player, your captain doesn't rule himself out of games & not travel with the squad if he's not moving on.

Just hope we get top price for him.

The 2 are not linked!! Khan would be more likely to let all of our players go (lol). We have 4 quality mid field players with no real back up, why would we try and end up with 3, perhaps just testing the water with Norwood? If we don't make the play offs we won't bid for Norwood in the Summer.

I disagree.

TC wants a move & Norwood is an obvious replacement for our lazy recruitment team.

Very unusual to make a formal bid for a player we've already secured til the end of the season already

I have no sources to back this up but I've herd from someone who's in the know it's a done deal with West Ham and it will be announced sometime next week.

Please don't have a pop at me, I'm as gutted as you probably are and I'm REALLY hoping im wrong

How can he pass a medical at West Ham when he hasn't been fit to play regularly for us this season?

Graham Carey has a magic left foot like TC's.

Seen him play a couple of times for Plymouth and he'd be an excellent replacement at a fraction of TC's fee.

He's 28 and would fit the bill perfectly IMO.

We have Norwood until the end of the season so he would not have been a replacement for TC

If true the player wants the move. Let him go 15million a dodgy knee hasn't played much this season and is 27 . Let's invest the money in players who do want to be at the club. Norwood for one. Plus a centre half and forward. We are still a great club without him.

Guys, the OP is a Wum.. 70 posts and most of those have been around this single topic pushing the cairney wanting to move story. Cairney has said he loves it here, enjoys playing here, loves the club.. why would that change soon rapidly. Especially for 5 mill less than newcastle offered and a bid that got rejected.

Calm down. Some have even suggested lucas piazon has posted stuff on his social media sitting opposite cairney on way to match.. and what's prompted this... cairneys gf posting a photo on her instagram... no date given.

Since when has cairney ever given any of us the impression that he'd withdraw himself from a match day squad to force through a move. He's much more a gentleman than that.. he's more the type to get on with his job and if something ever got accepted then perhaps go for talks. He's not a baby who does a Martin and throws his toys out of the pram.

We have Norwood...

We have Norwood on loan, that is all, we have far too many players on loan, and that is unhealthy.
What happens if Norwood gets injured, if the squad gets any thinner it will become invisible. 
You wouldn't think we are suppose to be chasing promotion with so much inactivity in a month that could define our season.
Having said that, if Cairney leaves, and I will only believe it when I see it, then we move on, no good worrying about something we have no power over.

Not a WUM at all.

Only a few posts but I have been registered with this site since 2012 more for update reasons.

Nothing wrong with asking the reason behind trying to sign Norwood at this time.

Try thinking outside the box once in a while and not having such a deluded view on things.

Well he's played most games and scored a few goals plus slav has played him in place of TC so a better fit than you think.

What's deluded is trying to pass of an opinion as absolute based on one instagram post where you have made no effort to and shown no intellectual rigour in understanding the situation for what it objectively is.

A post on instagram in its and of itself can be show a picture taken at any time from any time in the past. It is hysterical to create a topic suggesting one of our most popular players and key players is on the move because of a photo his gf has posted... it's not thinking outside of the box in any logical way.

Even more so when if you were a fulham fan you'd know full well that Cairney didn't force through a move last year when a promoted newcastle came in for him and when shahid and Tony publicly came out and not only rejected a bid 5 million more than the 15 million suggested but then proceeded to offer cairney a new contract which he then signed and stated in no uncertain terms that he loved the club, was happy here, was enjoying his life and football and wasn't looking for a move and whilst people were talking said that signing a new contract was all he could do to show how content and happy he was at the club.

He's the best midfielder in the league, is tied down until 2021 in a team that are pushing for promotion and he enjoys being part of and who if get promoted would very likely keep him and play him in the premiership.

Just think.

Dear oh dear you really are lost on this one General, please read my OP again as clearly you are confused......not passing my opinion or anything social media related at all but just highlighting a perfectly valid point for discussion on the attempted purchase of Oliver Norwood and what might be the reason behind it......nothing more.

Wrong end and stick come to mind but maybe you've had a hard day - nevertheless, still deluded and still need to think outside the box !

TC is a Player with alot of Quality, but he wasnt allways at his best this Season maybe because of his injury. The last game he came from the Bench and we were allready up. We still have alot of good Players who want to Play for us. No Player is bigger then the Club, its just sad because i though hes loyal, but when the Agents came along the only have the Money in there mind. Move on, get a replacement and COYW forever.

Players and managers come and go they kiss the badge and all that sort of rubbish and they move on or get moved out by the club,so if he goes he goes.
And so be it.The one constant in any club it's us the supporters.

Post by: Riversider on January 27, 2018, 07:15:51 AM
The bottom line is this, Tom Cairney is currently under contract, a player under contract can only speak to another club with the full permission of his parent club,
So then, If , and as I say If, Tom Cairney has spoken to West Ham or any other club , then it's with the full consent of Fulham Football Club,
I like Cairney, I think he was outstanding last season, with a wand of a left foot , and a wonderful attitude ,
On the flip side though, I think he is a poor captain/leader , with a weak right foot, and a worrying injury record,
At 2 o'clock today we'll know whether he has travelled or not, if he hasn't then it's up to the likes of West Ham, West Brom or Newcastle to come up with the money that Fulham want, if they don't then he stays,
It's a fine line for Fulham though , as Cairney is 27 now and with each birthday and each injury his value drops dramatically,
Do I think he will still be with us on Feb 1st ? Yes I do, do I think Cairney and Sessegnon will be with us next season ? No chance whatsoever.

Oh Corporal, your'e hanging out the window butt naked clinging to the drainpipe with this post.
If he proves to be NOT there today you will be left looking very silly indeed as he will clearly be "On strike" just as Chris Martin before him.

It is called forward planning, something FFC are not very good at! We need to have 4 quality midfield players (at least) on our books at all times, so if we are thinking of selling TC that will leave us with 3 and if Norwood goes back to his club, we will be down to 2. At least our wage bill will be reduced!

I like Cairney, I think he was outstanding last season, with a wand of a left foot , and a wonderful attitude ,
On the flip side though, I think he is a poor captain/leader , with a weak right foot, and a worrying injury record,
At 2 o'clock today we'll know whether he has travelled or not, if he hasn't then it's up to the likes of West Ham, West Brom or Newcastle to come up with the money that Fulham want, if they don't then he stays,
It's a fine line for Fulham though , as Cairney is 27 now and with each birthday and each injury his value drops dramatically,
Do I think he will still be with us on Feb 1st ? Yes I do, do I think Cairney and Sessegnon will be with us next season ? No chance whatsoever.

So let's hope we can gain promotion this season, can someone tell the Khans this before it's too late.
Just sent them a message by carrier pigeon, hope it gets there in time!

Norewood is doing a good job in our midfield and has played more than Cairney this season, if Cairney leaves Norewood has to take over his midfield role, if Cairned stays Norewood has to step in when Cairney is not fit. Norewood is an essential player for the rest of the season and we just cant risk a recall by Brighton, we need to sign him up by Wednesday.

Norwood* might not have an early recall clause in his contract

Maybe this is why we bid to buy Oli Norwood this week.....tried and tested replacement I guess.....

Guys, the OP is a Wum.. 70 posts and most of those have been around this single topic pushing the cairney wanting to move story. Cairney has said he loves it here, enjoys playing here, loves the club.. why would that change soon rapidly. Especially for 5 mill less than newcastle offered and a bid that got rejected.

Calm down. Some have even suggested lucas piazon has posted stuff on his social media sitting opposite cairney on way to match.. and what's prompted this... cairneys gf posting a photo on her instagram... no date given.

Since when has cairney ever given any of us the impression that he'd withdraw himself from a match day squad to force through a move. He's much more a gentleman than that.. he's more the type to get on with his job and if something ever got accepted then perhaps go for talks. He's not a baby who does a Martin and throws his toys out of the pram.


Oh Corporal, your'e hanging out the window butt naked clinging to the drainpipe with this post.
If he proves to be NOT there today you will be left looking very silly indeed as he will clearly be "On strike" just as Chris Martin before him.

If he is announced in the team..... move over on that drainpipe.


Even if TC is not at Barnsley today how does that prove he is on strike?  There are myriad explanations.

Let's just leave Norwood on his season long loan and sign either him or a replacement in the summer. No need to panic or Brighton will have a field day with his transfer fee

Yes.. but in the middle of a transfer furore there are PR gurus at the club clever enough to either prompt him to dismiss rumour publically OR travel for support. Needing to practice his pool at home isn't one of them. What a stupid instagram post by his girlfriend...

If he does go to West Ham he will have to do battle in midfield against the likes of Hazard, Silva and Alli, as good as he is (When 100% fit) he's not that good is he ?

Slav has already said he is fit to play but not travelled with the squad.

Why else would he not go ? he is the club captain so if fit he'd be with the players

The Coach also said we would do our business early, nobody was going and the Earth is flat. He has complained about not knowing anything about transfers so why should his pronouncements on fitness be taken as Gospel. On the other hand he may have known on Thursday about the possible transfer, made the comment to put pressure on everybody knowing the fall out. Or then again he may have just made an innocent remark he thought was accurate.

Don't we as Fulham supporters know that, and that's the problem
