Ross McCormack

Sky sports saying Norwich have launched a £10 million bid for Mc.

Sky sports saying Norwich have launched a £10 million bid for Mc.

They can get lost . £15 mil cash & they can have him.

[Mince n Tatties]

On Sky now that Fulham have turned down 2 bids for Ross.

[One James stannard]

There is no done deal as yet but we will not see Ross in a Fulham kit again

Onwards and upwards

Good fun thread this.  Social media doing what only social media can.

Let's try a thought experiment.  Imagine a world where Ross is entirely content with his lot, no plans to move from London where he is happily settled.  Future financial security is assured and the club owner seems good for a few bob, so there might be some handy colleagues on the way for a stab at glory this year.  The club feels warmly towards Ross and it's a happy relationship all round.

Only trouble is there's these people who are absolutely intent on claiming that there is a large and deepening wedge in that relationship.  In the long run they are bound to be proven right, because all players leave in the end, but in short run its just not where player or club's head is at.  So, what can be done to correct this misperception?  New contracts, ludicrously high buyout clause, turning up hobbling to friendly games, photos of barbecues....all tried and all merely serve to heighten the speculation.  It's like a waking nightmare....everyone says he's off....despite all efforts to indicate something different.

To be clear, I have absolutely no insight to what is going on.  But wouldn't it be extraordinary if our best player was simply intent on a harmonious and lucrative time settled in West London only to read every night of his impending relocation to Norwich, Birmingham, Newcastle or wherever.

*South west London. That's important. Also it isn't at all. You speak wize words and I agree completely. How dare you be rational.

Sounds very plausible to me.  Hope this truly is the case and loads are proven wrong.   :033:

Be interesting to see how the club approach Norwich's interest and see what the final fee is if it does get agreed.

Also, if he does leave the club this summer - who do Fulham realistically get in to replace him or where should the money be spent?

I personally haven't got a list of potential names in my head, so any suggestions I'd be interested in hearing about it!

The latest piece on 'The Craven Corner' discusses this a little further:

Wise after the event...but, in reality neither rational, nor wise.
