It's gone very quiet in the Fulham rumour mill.

[Frankie-Peter Taylor]

Something must be on the way...

:hook:

[Maidstone Lee]

don't jinx it haha

[Lighthouse]

I feel it in my water. This week we will hear something from somebody. I will say no more. But you heard it here first.  fp.gif

[west kowloon white]

Or better still the Dems not on their way out-bit of cash to strengthen mid field ,bring on the young ones-Jol job done??

[MasterHaynes]

Or the press have seen the clips of our young players scoring and have accepted that we are not desperate to buy any old player thats on their way out of their current club and are stumped to think of better players than we already have

[TonyGilroy]

Whatever we're doing (if anything) will be done quietly.

Whatever the press report is usually Agent gossip or speculation at best and often pure invention.

In the know posters/twitters can usually be assumed to be fantasists

[twang]

I'd rather see that some players extend their contracts, seeing as the following 17 first team players will be out of contract in a years time:

Schwarzer, Etheridge, Somogyi, Hangeland, Baird, Senderos, Hughes, Halliche, Riether, Duff, Diarra, Dempsey, Davies, Dembélé, Mesca, Trotta, Petric

It's actually quite frightening that we only have 9 players on longer deals than the single year:

Stockdale, Kelly, Riise, Briggs, Kasami, Frei, Kacaniklic, Ruiz, Rodallega

Well said!  065.gif

Out of that list I would offer a new contract to these now:
Etheridge, Hangeland, Baird, Senderos, Diarra, Dempsey, Dembélé, Mesca, Trotta

And allow these to show something before Xmas and make a decision:
Schwarzer, Hughes, Riether, Duff, Petric

Allow to leave either now or next summer:
Somogyi,Halliche, Davies

[west kowloon white]

What??-Thought Dempsey had been offered a contract and some of the above have only played friendlies to date...don't get it ??????

Agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment not necessarily with all the players in the list but would add Minkawitz and Tankovic to that list

I agree, but I settled with listing the players who have earned themselves a squad number.

[HatterDon]

I think it's just the press is too busy making up stuff about the Olympic athletes. Once somebody blows out the torch, they'll all come back  086.gif to excess.

Offer Baird an new deal and Hughes not? Hughes should be in the top group, really.

[ToodlesMcToot]

Well, the twitter rumor mill had Dembele, The First with a 2 year extension (+ 1yr option) in front of him ready for the signing. It also implied that this was likely to happen.

There's little of substance to it, outside of getting the club and player names correct as well as the contract situation. It does qualify as a rumor however and a mighty fine one I might add.  :59:

I thought about it and Hughes had some injurys last season and while I would still have him as first choice lets see/hope that age does not catch up with him. I don't believe in just giving contracts to players just because they are starters at the start of that season.

[Mr Fulham]

true. but why baird then? hughes has been a consistent player for the last four years, and apart from one injury last season he was a nailed-on starter and very much injury-free.

younger,solid squad and utility player.
I like Hughes and if he keeps his form I would have no problem with him and Brede being at the back for another couple of years.Senderos is ok but to me nothing more than that.
