Tete to Everton merged

[Craven Mad]

Sounds to me like he's planning to stay.

Fingers crossed.

Hypothetical Right Back Scenario?

Would you want Tete to re-sign on a 3 year deal?
Take KWP on a free?
Sign Djed Spence let's say £10-£15m

Of the three options and taking everything into consideration of each player who would you sign?

Personally I would favour Spence.

I can't see him being available for such low fee. I'm not sure Spence is better than Tete in anyway apart from his age.

Tete for me definitely of those options you've listed. KWP the worst option. Not a fan of his at all.

Being that it's Spurs and Levy you might be right. Wan Bissaka went to Westham for around £18m and he is better than Spence that was my line of thinking.

Literally zero chance Djed is available for that price so mute point really.

As mentioned by others Spence won't be available for that price. Personally I'd prioritise re-signing Tete. He's absolute quality and he was doing well this season before injury. Certainly losing him to a club like Everton would be a bitter pill.

Yeah used Everton to get a bit better deal, as long as we didn't go bananas then I'm good with it.

Equally he could be using us to get a better deal.

Not likely, it was reported that it was Tete's agent who leaked the Everton commitment, to create urgency at Fulham and drive a better deal. Leverage like this is a one-shot move. Doing it twice could easily kill the deal and burn a bridge, not smart, especially for a player leaving on a free.

If we've thrown a 3 year deal and a big pay rise to Tete that's a big mistake on the part of the club. If he wants to stay then no more than a 1 year deal for someone who is very injury prone. If he doesn't want to stay then he can go.

Was his injury this year a recurrence? No. He's been unlucky with injuries but there's no reason to think this will continue. He's absolute quality and isn't reliant on sheer pace so should be good for the next three years. Giving Kenny a new contract saves us spending millions on a replacement (or cover for Timmy) so I can see the sense in it, although I would be happier with a 2 year contract with a further 1 year option.

[Thailand Mick]

We don't know what Tete has been offered, he was reported to be on 50k a week and over the 5 years he has missed about 2 years of games. The problem with giving him a high wage is that the other players like Wilson and Muniz will also want a high wage. Our wage bill to revenue is already too high at 85% which is causing us difficulty. After having some time to think about it I believe it would be best to let him leave as we have Castagne and sign someone on a lower wage. Unfortunately players these days are bleeding clubs dry with their demands and unless we can increase revenue significantly we are about at the top of our wage bill. Would be sorry to see him go but at some point you have to draw a line.

[Bassey the warrior]

I'm fully on board woth tieing Tete down for 3 years. He'd be expensive to replace, so this frees up budget for other more urgent areas to address.

Everton are under new ownership with a bigger transfer kitty, so they'll be gunning for a top half finish, just like us. Why strengthen a rival without getting any fee?

Tete injuries apart is Excellent would look no further.

Seems about finished on our end

  So did Tete's agent just use Everton as a prompt to get Fulham to pull their finger out??

Of course he did, that's good business!

Didn't a lot of people complain that Willian done the same thing with Forest?

[Fernhurst]

Get it announced Fulham

My sentiments entirely sir.
