Not Fulham related, but still on topic. Ehy one earth would Aston Villa sell him to West Ham and why on earth would McGinn want to come there when he plays every game for Villa? Parlour may as well have said West Ham should get Mbappe, it's pretty much as likely.

Agreed, 31years old so possible villa consider a decent offer, but contracted till 2028 and he could play still at vast majority of prem clubs above west ham if he really wanted a move. But currently in Europe and villa challenging again? Not happening

Most ridiculous thing is someone did a mockup of McGinn in a West Ham shirt because Parlour made some arbitrary connection.

The demand in the football content cycle doesn't half through up some random drivel 😂. Look forward to seeing which player we aren't interested in that teamtalk will link us to tomorrow.

This Pepi thing sounds like the South American guy we took to Wimbledon, showed round London and carried on all window which meant we got no one. Bail out now and get someone else. If he's any good hope i'm wrong.

Lucas Barrios. Stayed a bit longer at Borussia Dortmund then moved to the Chinese league, back when they were offering big wages like Saudi Arabia now. Clearly he was just after the money.

Think he's available on a free if we still want him. Didn't turn out to be that good, a bit of a Rui Fonte.

€45m for Pepi in today's money is actually £39m.

4 million more reasons to be sceptical re value for money if the link, interest and figures published are all true

Genius 👏🤣

Arthur Atta signed a four-year contract last June so Udinese are under no pressure to sell

Jheez, wild prices being thrown around. To be fair they're in a strong position.
Shaktar said they wouldn't sell for less than 50m at the start of the summer window.
Andre's chairman said he wouldn't sell for under what 30m?
etc etc all posturing to push up any offer you'd think but they're certainly not gonna permit an early departure in the window.

In reality they got him for 8m euros. Would be very surprised if they didn't accept 25-30m range if the player wanted the move. tripling-quadrupling your money in 6months?  They're mid-table and highly unlikely to make a major european push around 10 points behind.

classic Chukueze/Kevin stuation again
Would be relatively happy with this. Would step up competition at CM - probably allowing Reed to move in the summer  (grateful as I am to have such a character around) without blocking Ridgeon's path too heavily (Or indeed TC if he doesn't get renewed.)

i.e sign an established player ready to contribute now at a decent but not obscene price, whilst we steadily introduce another kid like we did with King, in Seth Ridgeon, who could save us having to spend crazy money on that position.

Any idea if any of the reports with this link are credible? Turkish league seems very hard to gage and particularly high for rumours. Remember how we got linked with Bright Osayi Samuel for several windows in a row but rarely corroborated by a reliable UK source (ie Peter Rutzler / Ornstein).

No idea, but apparently originally the rumour came from the same person who was first to break our interest in Romulo Cordosa. Which was later seemingly confirmed by other credible sources including ones with connections to fulham.

Possibly you're right, I just remember we were close on Barrios.
