WINDOW SHUT - Fulham squad 2015/16, all the info here:

[HillingdonFFC]

According to a good mate who has some inside info at Brentford , Fulham have gone back in with a increased offer for Tarkowski today, believed to be £2.25million.
Apparently laughed off, they want silly money for him, not sure why? Got him for peanuts from Oldham and had one decent season in the championship

Seems like Dunk is off the table then. Working our way down the list pretty quickly!

Are people, or would people, be happy going into the season with a strike force of McCormack, Smith, Woodrow, Dembele and Taggart?

That's an interesting name Mike !

No,  I don't think so,  would need another main player to come in for one of them at least.

While i would not be happy, I think the defense is a larger priority.  If we splash money it needs to be splashed there.  If we can stop conceeding at the rate we did last year that is the key to moving up the table.

Tom Cairney has been added to the central midfield options, rumoured price of £3m, with nobody sold, our expenditure (in case you didn't know) is £3m.

[FPT]

Ashley Richards added, fee of £500k.

In a word, yes.
COYW!

I'm not a fan of Ryan Tunnicliffe. I think he's below average technically, missed opportunities when playing in the more obvious holding role. He's alright, but very scrappy. After his homophobic outburst (of which he admitted to) and then ranting about his ability to afford a fine his way, on top of his behaviour at Wigan which led to them wanting to send him back to us... He's recyclable. We would then have a gap in the central midfield in terms of more defensively able players, but we'd have made room for a technically better, more Fulham fit personality with potential to add a defensive midfield player.

He is only 22, but I just don't like him. That's just me, I think he lacks the class of Emerson Hyndman, the skill of Lasse Vigen Christensen and the ability to recycle play like Scott Parker.

I don't mind Tunny to be honest. He's a tryer. Or do I mean he's very trying. 8-)
Having said that FPT, your opinion/comments on him are so well put I find it hard to defend him.
Good post.

I've said I'm happy with the front. Its deffo the midfield that we need to spend the money on imo.

I would like to see more of Hyndman this season tho. He is total class.


COYW!

Updated - Jamie O'Hara added, Bryan Ruiz removed. Expenditure up to -£1.5m from -£3.5m thanks to the £2m received for Bryan.

[FPT]

Bump - incase you haven't seen the updates with Ruiz gone and O'Hara added.

[FPT]

Quick note: I've popped in Thomas Eisfeld and Larnell Cole as potential wide options on either side following the Aston Villa match.

[FPT]

Bump - a few changes made.

1) Patrick Roberts' exit added
2) Bryan Ruiz's fee revised
3) Tom Cairney shuffled over to the right hand side.

Plus a few general changes in the 'depth chart'

[FPT]

Updated for Luke Garbutt. Also moved Kay Voser to left back and Larnell Cole to the right hand side.

[FPT]

Ryan Williams exit added. TransferMarkt lists fee at £140k, I rounded up for the £150k.

[filham]

As I see it we just have to find new homes for Lovebite and Mitroglou and bring in a top centre back and that will be the squad ready for the season.

[FPT]

Sakari Mattila the chiller has been added.

Think you are being generous with the £2 million pound figure for Ruiz. Racing Post have it as 500k.

Was changed in the original post - and mentioned 3 or 4 posts below that the fee was revised! Was about €1m I believe, rounds to around £700k.

Apologies, lazy reading on my part!
