I read that also, a 2 year deal, £750K. Where did that come from.

Hows that date wise as we are not in july yet we are in june,confused?

I am as confused as you are.  1500.gif

[toshes mate]

To be fair the Wikipedia article does say - 'To be confirmed'.  That may mean it is a deal that will not be completed until 17 July.

The actual entry about Dan was added today.

Reports surfacing tonight that Hull could have won the race to sign Chelsea defender, Tomas Kalas on a permanent deal. #FFC #HCAFC #CFC

Trying to remain positive I would say the word COULD tells a story about transfer rumours.

We live in hope!

[grandad]

The "report" that Kalas will sign for Hull can´t be about money as surely we could match anything they offer. It can´t be about aspirations of gaining promotion as we have as better a chance. It can´t be about him prefering to live in Hull rather than stay in London. It can only about the friendship between the respective owners who may hatch up a mutual "arrangement"

But the friendship doesnt mean Kalas as a person has to go there, if thats his choice then it is about one of the reasons you mention it cannot be about, if this is true massively dissapointing

Current talk is that Chelsea want 11M for Kalas, from FFC, yet he's being offered to Hull at 'mates rates'. Player isn't happy, as he wants FFC move.

I had heard we were told we could have him for 4.75 million in March but now Chelsea want 9 million, where as hull are tumoured to have had a 5 million bid accepted.

PLayer can say he doesnt want to go and see what happens, all in Kalas's hands.

Just one more reason to hate that lot up the road.

[filham]

Just can't understand the Kalas move to Hull. Surely at the end of the day any move depends on two factors, the amount of money the buying club is prepared to pay and the preferred club of the player. In this case I would have thought we would have won hands down on both counts.
Can only assume we didn't value Kalas as high as Hull. Perhaps we think there are better prospects out there for £5m.

Chelsea owner is great mates with the new Hull manager and even recommended him for the job.  If Chelsea's owner has decided to do Hull a favour and perhaps told Kalas he can go to Hull or sit in the reserves there is not much Fulham can do about it.  Probably see Chelsea use Hull as a feeder club for their best loanees. 093.gif

They cant come out and say that under employment law, howeve rin reality they can do it without syain it.

The nuts and bolts are Chelsea can seel Kalas to whoever they want and can give a team a discount to what other teams are willing to pay. In the end it will come down to the player and if he is willing to take the risk against his current club. Its a big risk as he could miss a whole seaosn adnt her eis a world cup coming up.

For me this sort of transfer makes more of a mockery to the rules than the squad of 25 and being penalised for fielding a supposed weakened side when they are from your named 25.

Football is always shooting itself in the foot

I'll be very disappointed if Kalas goes to Hull. It makes zero sense other than the fact that **** and Abramovich are best mates. They don't care about the player at all. The best thing for Kalas' career is a move to Fulham. He's expressed his willingness to sign for us but he's always said it's down to the clubs. If we don't even make a bid for him, then I've lost all hope in our board. He was a very important player in our squad last season and I can't see who we could replace him with. Even if Chelscum try to rip us off with the fee, compared to the mates rate for Hull, we should gamble and pay them the money. We're hopefully looking to offload Jozabed for £4m, that is £4m towards Kalas' transfer.

If he does go to Hull permanently, he'll be miserable. Not only is it one of the most boring places to live but he'll yet again have to settle into another squad. He's already a Fulham lad, just pay the bloody money and bring him home.

apparently the Jozabed price is 4 million euros and Celta dont weant to pay more than 2 million euros.

As for us making a nid for Kalas, apparently we were willing to until the price doubled, as good as he played for us 10 million maybe too much for him. If as the rumours now say thats the price we have ben told are true.

[grandad]

Are players allowed to buy out their remaining contracts? I thought this has happened in the past as have managers.
