He could turn out to be a genuine Key player for Fulham FC.

Madrid going after Zubimendi from Arsenal. Could release Pitarch to us?

Pitarch one is really odd as some reports suggest he has been to MP. Then Rodri deal fell through, and now they are linked with Zubi and Locatelli.

I wonder if this is the one that goes to the wire. I'd still expect another CM.

Read Chelsea are looking to loan out Mudryk and want him to go to a PL club - any takers?

Not played in a year due to suspension but clearly a good player in there. A loan with an option?

Hell no.

Not sure I believe this tbh. Those who've been covering the deal in more detail with closer ties have said it's never been about 1 or the other- only about wether Thiago is available - which we'll have to see later in the window it seems. And given he's injured anyway that's not real issue at least. Hope we can land him as he's clearly the guy we want over others if we sign anyone in that position (which I think we should)

As for Shea, excited to have another 6 in the door. Really hope he matures into the player he's shown promise of being. Good exciting young players that may take some time to adapt but will be rooting for them. 5 year contract with 1 year option also a great thing. Future captain material maybe too one day.

Yeah hope you're right - Romano has been wrong on Fulham before, see Pepi, Nuamah, so hopefully he's wrong here too. Now we have Charles in he's a lesser priority and happy to wait until later in the window for Real to sort out what they're doing with Rodri.

Also agree happy with Charles, looks a tidy player - bit on the expensive side but hopefully the upside potential outweighs it.

How is it that everyone else has the knowledge of how much we paid for him and then Fulham goes: "Undisclosed fee"

To be fair I don't think any clubs officially publish transfer fees these days.

That's true but then how do these journos know how much we paid?

there's so many third party that's it's almost impossible that some of the details won't get leaked.....

Agents and other insiders. I imagine some of it is deliberately leaked by clubs to try and control the narrative or obscure the true value by quoting a range.


@jolslover

More whispers about our interest in Rico Lewis at RB - I actually think he would do well here, come under some criticism for his size and the defensive side of his game but I know Pep was a huge fan and I think he would add a lot going forward. Great understanding with Charles and Bobb on the right hand side too as they were in the same age group at City academy

It's a shift of tone though - the other day he said it wasn't outright if memory serves me correctly with him saying Mourinho had made a decision and wanted to keep Pitarch. If both are true, with this one more recent, then it's a softening of stance somewhat from Romano, which could suggest it's still a possibility

feel King is probably more likely the captain if all these players mature and play well together through the years just due to the Fulham connection and him wanting to build a legacy with us?

Surely, with SCR rules, clubs must disclose fees?

Believe they are disclosed in the books of each club as one lump sum when the make their submissions
