Players you'd like to sign so far from WC

Some of the Japan team are really adept at counter attacking football so maybe worth a look at one or two of them as their best players are already in the Bundesliga

HV71

Wouldn't mind Buchanan ( Canada ) he is at FC Brugge so might well be a realistic target - great going forward but tracks back and defends incredibly well

Ronnief

Buchanan probably would cost £12 million +, I liked the look of Kone.

I liked the look of Sofyan Amrabat of Morocco.

If we wanted a (second) Mitrovic understudy, I quite liked Seferovic of Switzerland.

Not a massive shock but I thought Serdar Azmoun's movement up front was decent against Wales. Wouldn't mind him.

I don't think Robinson is out of contract until June 2024

I think you are 100% correct.
That is good news indeed although a post on  this board recently said it was June 2003 and therefore our only chance of getting a transfer fee for him was to sell this winter.

But people do like to have something to fret about.

Anthony Robinson contract ends in June 2024, but he can sign a contract with another club for the next season in January 2023, so if we want money for him we have to sell him in the summer of 2023 (or this winter). We cannot sell Anthony Robinson until he agrees, Anthony Robinson would be wise to wait as late as possible in the summer transfer window so probably leave close to deadline day and once we sell him we won't have much time to use the money to upgrade some position probably left back.

Hence, not selling him in the winter probably means selling him on next summers deadline day in the morning, buying a replacement in the afternoon and the new player playing the next game, which places FFC likely to get a bad start and into the potential relegation zone. So selling Robinson in the summer is not ideal.

It would be much better, if we got 9 to 15 points (maybe a dream) before the winter transfer window closes. Bringing us to 28 to 34 points (or any number of points likely to keep us up) before the winter transfer window ended and sold off all the players that aren't resigning for longer contracts. We would then have the money in the bank ready to buy players as they became available for the 2023-24 season. We might still buy players close to deadline day, but we would know both our budget and whether Robinson is staying.

As for all those criticising me because it is better to resign Robinson than sell him. I think everyone must accept that Fulham needs to place their "best and final offer" to his agent immediately with an idea of him signing it before the new year. If he won't sign a new contract, then he is moving on in the next 18 months and the only difference is the timing and price he leaves for, dragging it out won't help FFC. If he is offerred good money and won't resign after the world cup, then he will never resign and is leaving.

Fulham has two goals in the winter transfer window, first stay up (ie keep Robinson) and second rebuild for the follow on seasons (i.e. sell Robinson). Doing both is hard, unless we get 9 to 15 points before the winter transfer window closes because with 28 to 34 points we don't need Robinson to stay up.

Sting of the North

Or, Robinson signs a new contract at any point between now and January 2024. You limit the options by drawing imaginary and arbitrary lines in the sand.

If a was a betting man, I would put a few quid on us neither selling nor re-signing Robinson during the winter transfer window. I think however there is a good chance he signs a new contract later in the season, likely when we have already practically secured our PL status. But that is just a guess.

I'd go for the young Serbian CB everyone saying is going to be the next vidic.

That would be Pavlovic. Hes 21, left footed and a proper sh*thouse. He plays for Red Bull Salzberg so I suspect it would be a big fee to prize him away.

Of the players I was unaware of, Pavlovic is who I have been impressed with.

Someone mentioned Enzo Fernandez as well, but he seems to be on a path similar to Darwin Nunez in Portugal, so I doubt he is realistic.

I liked the look of Dest at RB on loan at Milan from Barca...if Tete continues to be an injury issue and if Barca don't want him next year?

Agree, I rate him

As a Yank, pass.  His defending is meh...

This. He really isn't a FB. Is best suited to wing back or even midfield in my opinion.

Hopefully he's grown up, attitude on All or Nothing Juve was really poor, little respect shown to the managers or older players, diet too.

Are the world cup matches, where sometimes players are up against weak opposition, the right places to judge possible new Fulham signings. Surely it is better to see them in action against premier league teams.

I agree with this. Many players look much better at World Cups than they actually are.

That being said, I'd love Fulham to go for Pavlovic who I've seen was mentioned here, and he did actually play against a PL team recently, in CL against Chelsea. He was Salzburg's best player player in one of the two matches and was a bit hit and miss in the other one. I've mentioned him when we played Sweden and Norway, and I said something I still believe is true : he's still a bit raw.
He has all the atributes to become one of the best centrebacks in the world, he just lacks experience. Very similar to Vidic in terms of strenghts and weaknesses as well as playing style.

Amrabat nearly joined Spurs in the summer!

The players that surprised me the most so far in the WC (and should be affordable for Fulham):

- Pavlovic (Serbia), CB
- Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Serbia), CM
- Kamal Miller (Canada), CB
- Turner (USA), GK
- Kim Jin-su (Korea), LB [he is a bit old though]
- Yuki Soma (Japan), RM
- Asano (Japan), ST [A bit old too]
- Carter-Vickers (USA), CB [granted I only saw he last night but thought he was solid with Ream]
- Gakpo (Netherlands), Winger [might not be affordable anymore!]
- Sarmiento (Ecuador), Winger [he is at Brighton so might be hard to get him)

I'm assuming Pavlovic is already out of our price range.  The RB franchise is generally pretty good at squeezing value out.  I'm guessing that FFC already passed on Carter-Vickers (at Celtic now) as Spurs spent a few seasons trying to offload him.  I don't think he's good enough - not when PL level attackers are coming at him hard (Iran sat back so much).  I do like Miller - that could be a good pick-up for us.  We do need more depth on the back-line. 


FFC In Oz

I might be biased but Harry Souttar has been outstanding the last two games.

We'd only ever kept one clean sheet in WC history now we have two in a row.  He is a massive part of that.
