Sakari Mattila

Appears Fulham are very close to signing Sakari Mattila, A DM from Finland age 26,

Dont know much about him but looks like this means we wont see Mcdonald joining.

[Sgt Fulham]

Rumoured to cost less than £250,000. Hope that doesnt reflect his quality!

Foreign talent is always cheap, to be fair

Lewandowski was free. He's alright.

[malcbridger]

Says on wiki that he is a c.m/c.b.

[hovewhite]

Didn't think we would get mcdonald.Never heard of this player.

[Craven Mad]

This year's Fazilic?

[hovewhite]

It makes me wonder about these imports and how they judge them ,is it by DVDs?

[TrexFFC]

Oh no is it Mark Fotheringham all over again?!?!

[VamosFFC]

I just watched his highlights from his time at HJK Helsinki in 2013, and it looks like he could be a steal. I know it's hard to judge by highlights only because they only show the good, but they're pretty impressive.

Also, a Finnish "journalist" is saying the move is close, with a fee of around 100-170,000 euros. His twitter feed shows a lot of posts on Finnish football and seems to be ITK.

Now I know next to nothing about the player, but if you compare a signing like this to Fazlic or Fotheringham then you really need to update your view on Scandinavian football.

[kiwiwaka]

Only thing I know about him was seeing a vid or two 5+ years ago as one of the 'next big things' type videos you get from every club. Quality free kick on him, god knows how good he is though, haha.

[Jamie88]

The first thing That jumps out to me is that in his whole career he hasn't been at one club for longer than one season!

[DevonFFC]

Dickachoi or whatever he was called the south African looked like a beast on youtube and he was dog turd

The journalist in the link above has him down as "an eternal promise"

[Andy S]

Yes interesting that's all

[Wearethewhites]

Smells of a desperation, panic type signing to me. Hope we've not stooped to those type of levels again.

Or a bit of actual scouting and seeing something that's worth a very small gamble.

I like your enthusiasm, but this is something we don't tend to do that well.

It's too random to be a desperate one. We have done well so far and then we fall off a cliff with this one? . Must be a scout recommendation and not much more than that.
