    Cant really comment on Ben but I feel he was farmed out rather to quickly.
    Mark Wharburton is no mug when signing and bringing through talent ,
    Tarkowski. Judd and the Bees 2 full backs spring to mind, but then he himself was moved on .

    According to The Mirror Spurs have switched their interest in our Moussa for a different Moussa.

    And not only because of the on/off transfer debacle in January but, with a Champions League place settled, they are looking for more experience and are likely to make a bid for Senegal international Moussa Konate. In 52 league games for current club FC Sion, the 23-year-old has found the net 26 times. He also bagged three goals in this season’s Europa League, while his international record is seven in 16. And he's said to be pretty versatile.

    Well Dan Burn is gone, going by his twitter feed:

    "I Played my last game for Fulham yesterday, had 5 great years there and met some amazing people! I wish all the lads, the club and the staff all the very best in whatever they do! Thanks for the memories"

    I know Burn has his critics, but whenever I've seen him, I've thought he has looked good. A couple of years ago when I took my lads to a half-term signing session at the club shop, he was particularly good with my youngest (7 at the time), helping to make it a real special occasion. He seemed like a really nice bloke quite apart from his ability on the pitch. I'm sorry to hear that he's on his way.

    He is a nice guy and unlike some, wore his heart on his sleave. Blimey, using past tense already!

    As a few of you may remember, not all that long ago I was tipping him and Jack Grimmer as our permanent CBs. Well that didn't happen. In Dan's case I believe the main issue and why a number of his faults still persist, is that he never got a chance to play alongside an experienced pro (an Aaron Hughes - who mentored Hangeland into a decent player). Instead it's been chop change and he's always had someone beside him who was also struggling to find their own form never mind help Dan. That and some questionable/missing direction in training sessions.

    Guessing he's off to Sheffield United and I'm sure he'll be more than welcomed at Bramall Lane.

    To save posting, maybe we should simply print this and tick them off day by day like a calendar.

    Interesting fact about that photo - Dan Burn wasn't even standing on a bench.

    Dan's only real fault was that his desire and commitment sometimes was greater than his ability, which lead to errors.

    He will become a very good player in time.

    Not strictly an 'Out' since he's on loan, but Luke Garbutt has said his farewells.

    "Would just like to thank everyone connected with FulhamFC!! I've had tough season personally, but Management and players deserve credit for digging in and avoiding the drop!!! I wish the club all the best for the future and hope all the fans enjoy your summer."

    The injury in that friendly against Palace before the season started obviously didn't help but too often the young man flattered to deceive. In keeping with Young Mr Khan's objectivity however, his analytics are not too bad:

    He scored 1 goal and created 14 chances in 25 Championship appearances; with a pass accuracy of 74%, and a shot accuracy of 38%; has won 28 headers and 25 tackles; had 12 dribbles to his credit.

    I would have liked to keep Dan Burn, he was a work in process, and I think he made opposition managers and players think twice about how to cross a ball into our area. We have very few tall players and it was no coincidence that when he and Smith occasionally played the goals conceded from corners and freekicks were less.

    SBM, I'm not convinced the stats will back up your bold statement . The whole defence were bloody useless all season. With a few exceptions.
