The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2021/22

[JEEVES]

It's either he leaves now and we get some money for him and keep him on loan till the end of the season or he leaves on a free at the end of the season. Don't see how people can be disappointed. He's leaving one way or another, he's made that obvious.

[MisfitKid]

The sell on fee is the most important part of the negotiations for me. You can't blame him for wanting to go there. Scheme wise he's a perfect fit for that forward line, and Klopp has continually given younger players a chance. He's going to a team that's competing every season for every trophy.
Would love to keep these academy players, but that's just unrealistic due to our instability to stay in the premier league over the last few seasons. The same thing happened to Southampton on a much much bigger scale. They've lost loads of academy prospects over the years

So what's the point of an academy? Close the bloody thing and just buy players instead - we don't use half of them anyway! We just let the same 2 or 3 parasite clubs take all the promising ones for basically f'all!

Edit - also these kids come here thinking they will get the training and exposure to move on

Amen

Lousy day. We just gave up our best player, potentially, in about 50 years. The money is meaningless to us. We probably got ripped off as usual anyway, and the deal reported is unlikely to be factual. I am fully aware that our hands were tied and we had to get the best out of it in a losing position. We paid 10 million for Cav and knocks and they couldn't clean Fab's boots! Very upset. Forget the money as it won't help us. Meanwhile Bournemouth got half a new team

I think everyone needs to take a step back, he's no where near our best player in the last 50 years. He's not even our best player now, I guarantee if I did a poll tomorrow asking who would Fulham fans prefer to keep, Mitrovic or Fabio, 75% would choose Mitro.

Mouses Dembele mark 1, Louis Saha, Brede Hangland, Van Der Sar, Danny Murphy, all different level to Fabio and it's not even close. Fabio certainly has potential, but again you never know how youngsters will develop- Ryan Sessegnon is a prime example of this

I said potentially. Not established

This is exactly it.  Dissapointing but he clearly had made up his mind that he was off and almost certainly tapped up and promised crazy money which he clearly thinks is more important to him than being a Fulham star.

How many players can you loan from one club? Wilson, Carvalho and Williams would be three from Liverpool..

Agreed.

Fav. MAY turn out better than any of those you list and earlier greats, such as Haynes, Cohen and Robson. Or in two years he might be joining Roberts at Sunderland. If the terms are as speculated, we've done as well as realistic.

Of all the players Bournmouth have signed today, he's the only one I'd have liked if fully fit.

Good post. Disappointing to see him leave and I wish him well, but it's not the end of the world. I see a PL footballer in him for sure, but I'm not convinced that he's a top four player.

Looks like Odoi is gone if we get Neco Williams from the bin dippers
