We need some good news at the moment. According to Press Association reports Moussa Dembele is on the verge of signing a new 4 year deal. Source: http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-10-22/moussa-dembele-close-to-signing-new-fulham-contract/?
Read a report today stating that Patrick Bamford on loan at CP may be returning to Chelsea due to lack of 1st team apearances, A loan spell with us could help bolster our attacking options, any other thoughts.
Here we go.....Bayern Munich keeping tabs on Fulham's French whizzkid Moussa Dembele - Daily Mail "Bayern Munich are monitoring Fulham prospect Moussa Dembele. The 19-year-old forward is a target for Everton and Genoa but the German side have sent scouts to watch him play. "
Get him to sign a good long contract, ~ hopefully he can score 20+ this season and wants to move, squillions can be made, or as Everton are in the running a straight swop for Stones.?
We'll get to see how well advised Moussa is. It makes sense for him to sign a long contract with a release clause - protection for him should he get injured or fall off for some reason, protection for us should he take off and a top team come in for him. However if he is advised like Pat Roberts was, then he is destined to go and play in Serie B (for a lot more money) and takes a very big risk of his career fizzling out.
I agree that signing a long term contract would be the right thing for Moussa, but it's a bit early to talk about Roberts' career fizzling out. Also Moussa's situation is very different to Pat's when he was with us. Moussa is playing regularly in the starting eleven; Pat was frustrated at not getting first team action. I was as sorry as the next man to see Pat leave, but I could understand why the move made sense to him.
Must agree with you captain "that's unusual" but I fear the next talented one to go will be Emmerson Hyndman, and we will not get a penny for him ,why all due to stubborn intransigence
