Hmmm. Interesting this news.

Confirmation de mon côté : Ibrahima Cissé signe aujourd'hui à #Fulham. Il a effectué le voyage ce matin. #Standard #rscl

Confirmation from my side: Ibrahima Cissé signs today at #Fulham. He made the trip this morning

Remember him being linked a year ago as well. Or that might have been some other Cissé, fairly common name.

Have no idea if he is good, but he is a large defensive mid according to what I can find. Will probably be competition for Kmac.

We had at least two bids rejected for him in January, think the final offer was €2,5m. Isn't the biggest but a CDM/CM who will add much needed cover in midfield. Haven't seen him play but he used to play for the Belgium U21's, considering the players they have coming through in and around his age group that's quite impressive.

Palermo, who thought they had got him, are reportedly unhappy at his change of direction.
Now, it's one thing to upset Derby County but a bunch of irate Sicilians is quite another matter. Mr Khan wants to check his bed for Jaguar's heads.

Maybe they're what got Al Fayed out of the game after poaching Kasami from them.

The scum are close to signing Antonio Rüdiger, CB from Roma, pushing Kalas even further down the pecking order. Surely they want him gone. I'm clutching at straws I know.

[westcliff white]

dont think its that they dont want him gone they clearly do, however I think Roman prefers him to go to his mate at Hull.

That was it. Knew I recognized the name.

And yeah, it seems that Belgium's main exports are beer and central midfielders these days. So getting capped there is impressive in itself.

Probably no secret they want him gone, but we obviously want him because he done well, and they want a return on that. To be fair, the youth are going for silly money so surely that's what's holding this up

I odnt believe it is, we were quited a price while he was on loan and that has increased slightly, the issue is i believe Roman wants him to go to Hull, HUll want to loan him but Chelsea want to sell. Chelesea will accept less from Hull as well apparently due to the friendship between RA and LS

Apparently we have enquired about Martin Braithwaite of Toulouse(striker)...Any good?

[westcliff white]

Solid player nothing spectacular. Works hard, runs the channels.

Brigthon and Bournemouth also interested I believe, rated around the 10 million pounds mark would be my guess

[rusty shackleford]

All I know about Braithwaite is Toulouse were my team on Fifa because he was so fast

[deano_632]

Fredericks to Watford.... http://m.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/transfer-talk-fulham-full-back-ryan-fredericks-linked-with-watford-switch/story-30427033-detail/story.html

No idea how good he is.

As can be easily guessed from his typically Scandinavian name he is Danish with 16 full caps for the national side.
His strike rate isn't that impressive for a centre-forward but he is captain at Toulouse (11 Ligue 1 goals last season) and virtually ever present, so he must have something to offer. 26 years old.

Stearman apparently joining Sheffield United. Hope we get some kind of fee for him.

He will go to one of them then Premier Pull.

just did the ole obligatory watch of him on YouTube (yes I know) and I like what I saw. Looks like a decent poacher. Likes to steal a yard on defenders in the box, would be ideal for the way we play, or did last year as it seems we want to get rid of all our players

Just checking with a former collegue of mine but I always thought Ibrahima was predominantly a right back

[Deeping_white]

Stearman has gone to Sheff United. More wages freed up for someone more useful.

Yes indeed, the exit door is hanging off its hinges, but they must have lost the key to the incoming door.

From Blades' official site:

The Blades have paid a substantial undisclosed fee to secure the services of an experienced Championship defender, who also has played in the Premier League.
