What an absolute bandit, didn't want to know before,
but now we are in the top 4 he is begging to join us ;)

[JackyFulham90]

Would be the missing link,  great signing he would be

[PokerMatt]

Really want this to happen. The lad is class. Really good technique and doesn't shy away on the pitch either.

If it's between him and Scott Parker there is absolutely no contest and we should put all our focus into getting Chantome.

In my opinion, of course.

Makes it in English, at least. Still need to use some imagination though.

He's 25, been at PSG his whole career. But obviously starting to slip down the order what with the oil money.

Really good technically, great first touch etc, and good range of passing. He's a creative mid, but plays deeper in the midfield - think more Murphy than Taarabt.  I reckon he could sit as one of the two midfielders and be the one to move the ball into attack, but he's got a bit of a bite too.

Granted, I've only seen him a handful of times over the last two seasons, but it's easy to tell that he's comfortable with the ball.

Quite a good piece from last year from French Football Weekly says more than I could with my limited knowledge of him: http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2012/01/19/clement-chantome-the-forgotten-man/

Much better, thanks. I keyboard error 1st time round perhaps  :54:

[Brown@FFC]

Please Fulham, just invest a little £8m.

cheers, sounds good

[Humbled]

Can see this being done this week...
Good signing!!!

[..Kya.ffc..]

IF this happens then we have a real chance to gel well and preform good this season. We need a class cm - he could very well be the one. This has to happen - please please please.

Looking at the psg team on the the psg website it seems that chantome has decided not to travel with the team. Maybe he's trying to push a move through

[cmg]

Seems like a major player.

I note he is described as 'the new Didier Deschamps'. Which means, of course, that he is a midfielder and he is white. As has been noted before, had he been black he would have been 'the new Patrick Viera'.

Actually I think he might be bit more defensive than we really need. We really need more of a Viera (if only!) than a Deschamps. I speak in terms of footballing style rather than ethnicity here.

Still, a big step forward from the likes of Parker.

Like I said I've seen him a handful of times watching PSG over the last couple of seasons so I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but I don't think he's defensively minded. He can play deep, but positioning in the XI in this case is just because he needs to start somewhere.

Would you suggest Murphy was a defensive player because he played in front of the back four? I wouldn't and that's the role I suspect Chantome is best. Attacking and creative from deep, for want of a better description.

No, I certainly wouldn't describe Murph as too defensive. If that's what he is like then - what time's the next Eurostar from Paris Nord? 'Another, younger, Danny Murphy, please', is what's been written on my presciption since last season's final whistle.
