Why are QPR chasing the same targets as us? Might wanna set their sights a little lower aka more realistic.
Another blow - Yilmaz said this to the Turkish press today - "I know that Trabzonspor and Lazio are still talking but I believe the outcome of these talks will be positive.To this I cannot say the deal is finished but I'm 80% sure that next season I will be playing in Italy. Within days I hope this should be finalised" Lazio have apparently upped their terms to 2.5m euros pa (what's that, £40k pw??)
Luc Castaignos We are being linked with a loan move for the 19 year old Dutch striker currently with Inter Milan http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/luc-castaignos/profil/spieler_91915.html
I see a few sites are linking us with a move for PSGs defensive midfielder Clément Chantôme I must admin I don’t know a lot about him… http://www.setanta.com/ie/Articles/2012/06/24/Fulham-eye-PSG-midfielder/gnid-145977/? http://www.clubcall.com/fulham/frenchman-in-fulham-sights-1440650.html?
Good call TMHAF. French fans certainly seem to like him (tab down to see the article) http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2012/01/19/clement-chantome-the-forgotten-man/
What's your take on Campbell, commachio? I've seen some good things from him, but also some shocking finishing - he missed a sitter at the Cottage in May, and I seem to recall seeing something similar from him on MOTD the following week. Would you be sorry to see him go if it happens?
Started out on twitter and then appeared on a Sunderland Blog http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=702013 Subsequently deniied by Fraizer himself Probably means it's true then. I really thought he'd make it a couple of years ago but then came the injuries. Although I could see him as a decent squad player, my main concern is where that leaves the likes of Trotta.
The Reading bid has been confirmed as £2m plus a player (defender Sean Morrison) exchange. http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2012/06/26/60563-reading-poised-to-beat-fulham-to-rhodes-signature/ The jungle drums say that Huddersfield want more in cash (our bid is said to be £5m plus add ons). Swansea are the other known bidders.
Potential is there, but injury prone...Fast as lightning.. Given a run and injury free, he'll come good, but hopefully that will be with us. But if he were to leave, there would be no hard feelings on Wearside, he's a top lad...
Tomas Sivok Just to keep the rumour mill going we are being linked with the Czech centre back come midfielder. Since he's a free agent and no fee would be involved I suppose he's worth a closer look - http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/157226.html
Fulham can easily beat Lazio's offer. I know that Burak Yilmaz thinks Lazio's offer isn't serious, neither does Trabzonspor, they aren't too keen on Lazio's proposal to pay in instalments. Fulham could also explain to him that at Lazio he'll be moving to a club with a fanbase linked with Neo-Nazi/Far-right movements while Fulham is a much more welcoming place and just as ambitious.
Spanish papers are now saying that we have offered him terms - on my calculation £25k pw http://www.clubcall.com/fulham/jol-tipped-for-ramsey-swoop-1441079.html
So does anyone know whether Buttner, Yilmaz or Sivok are actually any good? Never heard of any of them.
