Summer Transfer Gossip.

Cavaleiro and Etheridge


Like these kinda rumours  :54:  :54:

[Woolly Mammoth]

I liked Lewis Holtby, just the kind of player Fulham are bereft of.He is a Talisman and makes things happen.
Also he is the kind of character that we are short of,and his presence and personality will lift the dressing room, he has plenty of experience and is real busy player, I wish there were another half dozen like him in  Fulhams dressing room.

agree lacking a mental toughness for sure woolly.

Rumour that Cardiff trying to sign Lewis Holtby

If we didn't have O'Riley and Elliot as Cairney back up, I'd quite like to resign him. But I'd rather focus on the youth over another older player.

O'Riley and Elliot are great options off the bench, but they aren't ready to start 2 games per week if Cairney is injured. Don't kid yourself Lewis Holtby will probably be a better player than either O'Riley or Elliot for the next 12 months.

Yes, but he will also be much, much more expensive and would be an unnecessary acquisition if Cairney is fit. If we are going to bring in the big earners, I don't think this is the position to do it.

A mate is a gunners fan and he reckons we could get Chambers back.

Chambers reminds me of McCormack. Delighted for their contribution whilst with us but neither right for a successful team & we are better without them

Chambers. Brought in as a CB & failed. Moved to RB & woeful. A success in mid field but IMO he is never a starting midfielder in a successful team.

If we want a 'Chris Baird' utility man then save our money as Denis can do that role

I think it's harsh to say he failed as a RB he played there once when we never had the same back 5 for a whole match let alone consecutive games. In a stable side he would have done better. So much better as a CDM tho'

I really liked him when he was with us, shame he was only on loan.

Just listening to one of the Peter Crouch podcasts on the BBC site, talking of training with Gerrard at Liverpool - he would fizz passes to you full pace in training, and you'd  better control them or else.  Crouch said that he  saw the advantages of this in games,  when  the team broke quickly,  knocking the ball around, cutting through the opposition, with no one losing control.
But the point he was making  was that all top teams  have these kind of tough characters - they demand the very best of themselves, and those around them, and that is why they are successful.

They have a mental strength as well as being top players - though they make themselves top players by their  attitude.

Fulham could  definitely do with some players like this. Though Parker may have this type of winning mentality.

[SuffolkWhite]

Is Harry Arter like that?

[Art Vandelay]

Seems a strange rumour as Bryan is doing so well, unless those Newcastle rumours are true.

Fulham have revived their interest in Southampton's Matt Targett, Sky Sports News understands.

The Saints still see a future for Targett at their club and it is understood only a significant offer would convince them to enter discussions.

The 23-year-old left-back was instrumental on loan at Fulham when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2018.

As much as I'd love this to be true, I can't see him coming down again. He's a EPL quality full back and will only get better now.

[SuffolkWhite]

What if we got Target and Bryan was moved further forward?

[sarnian]

That would be my take on things especially if Sess goes.

[Texas White]

Oh, i'd be quite surprised if that is the case. He's been a bit like our Targett in recent windows so probably rehashed rubbish.

This was reported a few days ago in the Northern Echo and the online responses to the article weren't exactly positive!

[I Ronic]

Or further north. I think Targetts better, personally.

I do think its marginal but I'm of the same opinion. I don't think Targett would take a climb down to championship personally, but who knows.
