The Official Silly Transfer Thread for January 2017

David Nugent: Middlesbrough striker joins Derby County for reported £2.5m.

Well it seems that the wally with the brolly has managed to destablise us with his martin interest and has now signed nugent. I wonder hoiw martin feels now.
dont let him back in S.J

Whilst I would agree, what happens if we cannot find someone to come in or if they do and don't score? we don't have a lot in reserve

We live and learn. And the lesson is, if you lose your main two strikers, don't just get one last minute panic loan to cover them

He wasn't a panic as I have said before Ben, we wanted earlier but Derby, well Pearson, insisted on getting replacements in first, they signed Vydra but not the other, but allowed the deal to happen but far to late for a permanent deal. Hence the 2.5 loan fee and balance of 6.5 if we wish to make it permanent.

However I agree we live and learn and think FFC will take a lesson and not be held to ransom again so long in a window, and Martin will probably learn a lesson too

Whatever we might think of Martin and how things got to this point, now Nugents signed for Derby WTF does Martin do now ?

How could Fulham ever trust that Martin would give 100% for the rest of the season. Especially as Derby are also trying for one of those play off spots. We already know he is not professional so we could never take the risk of playing him

agree with you, but if we sign someone they don't score or get injured, we could just be left with Smith and Humphrys who is still finding his way. We may have no option, SJ has said he wants one striker this window and that was after the martin thing kicked off

for me it isn't a panic if you have been trailing him all window and have agreed everything, the loan was just because Derby left it so late. if they had not we would not be in the situation we are now with Martin

then we play humphrys Smith or play without a striker again. No striker is better than one who might have an agenda

could cost us a play off spot.

personally for me when he see's he has no option, if that's what happens as in he stays past the end of Jan, he will realise having an agenda is of no use to him and will score goals.

but I agree with your sentiments 100%

[Neil D]

Maybe SJ's strategy was to play hard-ball over Martin and unsettle McClaren / Derby.  They couldn't be sure SJ wouldn't block Martin's move (even if it meant not having him play for us again).  So, they have had to buy a forward which means the way is open to Martin staying and prostrating himself in abject apology to get his place back...

[Fulham Tup North]

Of course, we could have done a deal with Derby last window, signed him for £9m, he then decided he wanted out and no-one wants him! At least we are not £9m out of pocket!

I'm annoyed about this. Derby buying Nugent seems like it means we are stuck with a player that doesn't want to be here.. We should have sent him back to Derby.

There is going to be a twist in this tale,as I said earlier Derby Telegraph says clubs still talking.
He going back IMO..

[BestOfBrede]

What's Fartin Martin got to do with the silly transfer thread? The whole of the thread has been lost due to this one a hole!

Do they need Vydra when they sign Nugent?
An agreement with Vydra and Martin had been perfect

[Mince n Tatties]

Talksport..Ross to Norwich in exchange for Brady is off as Norwich wanted cash + Ross.
This they say could mean the door is open for Ross to rejoin Fulham.

No,no,no. He does not fit our current playing style & formation. Why should SJ change things just to suit McCormack.
