Football: Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak admits he cannot agree terms with #Fulham at this stage, but wants to stay in the #EPL #FFC

[Blingo]

The operative words there are "At this stage"

[MJG]

he cannot agree terms with #Fulham at this stage...(Because) I'm busy getting ready for the Euro's.

[Mr_Moon]

It shows that at least we are negotiating with players. Maybe Murphy will follow along soon (when he's back from holiday).

[Bassey the warrior]

We'll see what happens there. If he doesn't sign for us right now hopefully he won't see any action at the Euros. If he doesn't come here we'll find someone else. I'm not worried, though it would be a shame if we didn't get him given we'd only have to pay for his wages. Would allow more money to be spent elsewhere.

I always wonder whether it goes a bit like this

*Danny's phone rings*
"Hey Danny, sorry to disturb you on your holiday. I am just calling to say that we have sent a new version of the contract to your lawyer. Everything we agreed on is in there."
"All right mate. Cheers. I'll sign it when I come back."
"That's great. Having a lot of sun over there?"
"You bet. Got to go mate, the young one wants to swim."
"All right. I'll hear it when you're back."
"Cheerio"

[Walsh]

it wouldn't surprise me if Pogrebnyak wasn't with us at the start of the season, I wouldn't be too fussed unless we don't find another striker.

It's worrying that we haven't signed him up before he goes off to the Euro's. There's always the possibility that he'll do incredibly well and his price will sky rocket. I don't really mind if he does (although I've enjoyed having him as a part of the side) only as long as we find (like Walsh said) a decent replacement.

I think his agent is probably recommending that he delays his decision. If he has a great tournament, then he can get a better contract (either from us, or from another Club). It's a shame, and we can only hope that he has a stinker! I believe he is generally on the bench for Russia, so here's hoping.

To be honest i get fed up with all this gamesmen ship from agents and players. I know it's how things are done nowadays but it gets me down

He's 3rd choice and they play with only one striker. So bar injuries he shouldn't see too much action.

Well....Super Pav is carrying a thigh injury, they are waiting on news about it tomorrow so he could be further up the pecking order (albeit not starting as you said).

Oh poo

Exactly, Pog has done enough good things to make us feel pleased if he signed. But he has been unable to make any impact in others (not always down to him). So we need forwards but Pog may well price himself out of the market for us. Although we will find after the Euros players willing to negotiate if they have a poor competition.

[AlFayedsChequebook]

What this says to me is that we are bot going to over pay for his services

Bor should we...

[BalDrick]

He's good but he's not that good - assume we have offered him a decent wage, if his pimp thinks he can get him more elsewhere, off you go then lad.

[Andy_M]

I like a few others think that he has been offered a deal that is probably comparable to what he was on but has been told wait till after the Euro's, so if he does have a brilliant Euro's he may get an offer of more money from a Champions League team, if not he still has the offer on the table from us.

To be honest even if he doesn't sign I trust Jol and our scouting network as I don't think we've really made a bad signing over the last couple of seasons, so I'm sure they will have a few people already scouted in mind if he doesn't sign.

[Jack Fulham]

Not too bothered if we get him or not, I have a feeling he wouldn't be first choice next season if we did.

[TonyGilroy]

This is why so many of the deals happen at the end of August.

The players won't take an offer in the hope that something better will turn up and clubs are reluctant to go too far down their wish list whilst their priority targets are still, in theory, available.

Patience needed. Our club is better run than most.
