So we have a problem

[os5889]

Fulham being Fulham we have a 25 man squad now as follows, I fear a sell to buy policy is in effect but noone wants Greening, Riise, Elm, E Johnson or Kamara. Bearing in mind Senderos will be back in February and is over the magic 21 and we only have 2 keepers in the squad. Do you think we could be up sh1t creek without a paddle if the bold boys above are refusing to budge and are waiting for their contracts to end, there is no interest in them or is Hughes is happy with what he's got????

Schwarzer
Stockdale

Paintsil
Baird
Salcido
Kelly

Hangeland
Hughes
Halliche

Davies
Gera
Dempsey
Riise
Duff

Murphy
Etuhu
Sidwell
Dikgacio
Greening

Zamora
Kamara
Elm
A Johnson
Uselesser Johnson
Dembele

Players U21 dont have to be registered in the 21 man squad so Chamberlain if for some crazy reason its true would be an extra for 5 whole years!

[NorthernWhite]

There were mumrours about Mowbray wanting Greening at Boro and that Elm was off to Swden imminently.

I could see Kamara going on loan and Riise going if we get an offer. EJ? Maybe Greece?

At least it's good to see we're trimming the wage bill. Hopefully to pay for a new striker?

[os5889]

The Elm and Riise rumours I hope are true, I'd actually quite like Kamara to stay as I think he's selfish and that provides something noone else in our squad can.

I'm worried that I've heard nothing regarding EJ sodding off especially with only 6 months (I think) left on his contract.

Greening is better than Dikgacoi, I am confused why we are extending his contact over just keeping Greening.

[Bilet]

Elm is off. Thats for sure. I guess the club is awaiting good enough offers for Riise. We payed around 2m for him, and I guess we want some of them back. He is a international regular for Norway and we should be available to get at least 1m for him.

[Airfix]

Whilst not necessarily ideal (paying players to play in the stiffs only), none of those names HAVE to be names in the 25.  It's just that, if they are not on the list, they can't play in the Premiership.  Unless any of them have written into their contracts that they MUST be named, everyone is droppable, surely?

Riise is an international regular! :029:  What does that say about international football?

[os5889]

I just dont see how having deadweights on 10-20k a week on an 8 month holiday is gonna be a MAF favourite...

Hughes is going to include Senderos now isnt he?

[Bilet]

Riise is an international regular! :029:  What does that say about international football?

Add that he is a regular in a team ranked 12th in the world: http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html

No offense Bilet, but the FIFA ranking is as reliable as Blatter is corrupt, so that's not saying much   

But I do think BH Riise is a far better player than we think, we just seem to fail with players who are not ready for the Premiership when they arrive.

...ey! Of course this comes from team nr. 33...always jealous of the Norwegians...!

Sorry but that is a complete joke! No way does Norway beat the United States. Donovan and Dempsey, the double D's would run circles around Riise!

Well, not so sure about that! We do love our little brother Norway, but when it comes to football the story look like this:

Norway-Sweden:
Meetings: 104  
Norwegian wins: 24  
Draws: 22  
Swedish wins: 58

Goal diff: Norway 141-268 Sweden

:hook:

Sweden would kick Norway's ass!  :dead horse:  Norway isn't even one of the top 12 teams in Europe.

Think you're worrying about nothing - we can draw up the list of 25 again after the window's shut, with who we like. If, with any luck, we've bought footballers to replace the donkeys in bold, then the donkeys will have to sit and watch for the 2nd half of the season but can play in the FA Cup.
