Fulham make Herrera offer

Fulham have made an offer for Porto's defensive midfielder Hector Herrera, according to reports from Mexico.

Record claims that Whites boss Slavisa Jokanovic has told the Mexican international that he wants to make him a key player in the club's midfield as they prepare to return to the Premier League and that the 28 year-old is excited about the possibility of a move to England. Porto have responded to Fulham's offer by revealing their valuation of the World Cup star – and negotiations between the two parties are ongoing with a view to a potential transfer.

Herrera would likely fit in Jokanovic's favoured 4-3-3 system as a deep-lying midfielder, taking the anchor role currently played by the experienced Scottish midfielder Kevin McDonald, with new signing Jean-Michael Seri and skipper Tom Cairney operating in front of him. He is under contract with Porto until 2019 and the Portuguese giants are strongly considering a sale as they do not want to lose one of their key players for nothing next summer when his current contract expires. He has a minimum fee release clause of £35m,

Herrera is vastly experienced on the international stage, having won seventy caps for Mexico and scored five goals. He has an Olympic gold medal from London 2012, where the Mexicans stunned Brazil to win at Wembley, and was named player of the tournament at that summer's Toulon Tournament, which the Mexican under-23 side also won. He has won the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the CONCACAF Cup with his country and led Porto to the league title last season, being named in the Primeria Liga team of the year.

Herrera, who played in four of Mexico's World Cup games this summer in Russia, has made 192 appearances in all competitions for Porto, scoring 26 goals. He was a mainstay of the side that won the title last season, making 29 league appearances, scoring three times and creating five assists. It is believed Porto would accept a bid of above £20m for their energetic, box-to-box midfielder.

I'm starting to get an inkling that KMac will drop to CB

We need a squad. Having McDonald and Johansen as CM back ups is good.

Wouldn't be surprised if a promotion hopeful championship club have wanted Macdonald and we made him sign a new contract to get more money for him, or he would be good squad depth for the Premiership if he does particularly want to stay.

This I read as meaning the David Lopez quest is over .

I'm sure that the whole situation regarding the up and coming season was explained to Kmac before he signed the new contract. After all he is the real motivational Captain on the pitch!

Why would trying to buy a central midfielder stop us buying a centre half?

Liam Moore of Reading has handed in a transfer request according to Sky.Come on Fulham get this one done.

[Deeping_white]

As of today, there's been a £35m cash injection into the club in the form of shares which may be an indication of intent in the transfer market over the next two weeks.

Been wanting us to sign Liam Moore for years now. Think he could easily be the next championship CB success story after Maguire, Dunk and Tarkowski.

Decent player but has only ever made a couple of appearances in the Premier League for Leicester. Wold really prefer to splash the cash on Mawson

[ffc73]

Brighton have been pursuing Moore for some time now & I suspect the player has now handed in a transfer request to force the move

[FFCFOREVER]

I havent heard much interest in Liam Moore from other clubs other than Brightin in a while so unless his agent may have had a word in his ear that other clubs are interested I cannot see why he would hand in a transfer request.I think he could be a very useful signing imo.

I'm starting to get an inkling that KMac will drop to CB

There are times when what he does is very similar to a role in the Stones/Maguire/Walker set up England deployed.  He always looks happy doing it.  Frankly on the occasions where injury or sending offs have led to him playing CB, he's looked totally comfortable.  He's got the one quality any CB in our system needs: opponents can't get the ball off him.

[hovewhite]

KMac  at CH,certainly as cover for defence/midfield.For me he should start v palace mishield as inspirational in the side the last 2years!

that's interesting - benefit of having an owner with 100% stake. Wonder what it's for though. Wonder if it will happen with each set of major signings. Our outgoings so far don't seemingly exceed 35GBP by much yet, so with that injection I wonder how it affects our status financially re FFP.

Today has been rather dull on rumours front, not even a mention anywhere.... what is Tony playing at

Exactly, what the hell is going on?? Think its time for TK to go if he isn't signing anybody!!

Darren Witcoop is reporting that Mawson is on for £20m

Our back four is sounding decidedly makeshift with the latest suggestion of Moving McDonald back to centre half.
We need a Premiership centre half of quality, we have needed one for a long time but try patching up the back four this season and we will pay the price of a relegation fight.

I don't think Kmac will move the defence I actually feel the sighing of his contract is tie him down so we have numbers and a fantastic part of the squad as a back up if we sign this Herrera chap
