    List of arrivals, departures and Transfer Rumors
    I know we have a Transfer Rumor thread but I thought I'd make my usual Quick look at list.

    Rumors from websites:
    Ross McCormack (ST) Leeds Utd Ross McCormack deal has stalled. Leeds' owner is adamant that he won't sell, Fulham unlikely to push for £7m.
    Steve Cook Bournemouth (CB) Fulham have cooled their interest after signing Shaun Hutchinson. However, they may go back when other interests have been fulfilled if he has not signed a new deal by then.
    Neil Taylor Swansea (LB) Fulham have enquired about the availability of Neil Taylor, as well as how interested he would be in dropping a division which is unknown at this stage. Deal would be £4m.
    Gonzalez Lazio (CM) Fulham are near to completing a deal for the Uruguay international CM Gonzalez of Lazio on a 2 year deal.
    Vivani Roma (CM) Talks are also taking place for a loan move for young Roma CM Vivani.
    Kramaric (ST) HNK Rijeka Fulham have agreed a £5m deal with HNK Rijeka for Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric(23) and his arrival means that Hugo Rodallega will be allowed to leave.
    Three unnamed trialists play against East Fife Adil Chihi (26)(MF) FC Koln, Mark Fotheringham (30)(MF) Notts County, Stefan Velkov (17)(CB) Slava Sofia
    Kostas Stafylidis (20)(LB) from Leverkusen reserves, could go to Fulham initially on loan with a view to a permanent deal,
    Oliver Harwood (23) (MF) from Huddersfield.The 23 year-old joined the Terriers from Manchester United two seasons ago after impressing on loan with Coventry City.
    Jason Davidson (23)(LB) from Heracles Davidson was under the impression his contract had expired and he was free to leave. The club, claim that they had a 1-year extension.
    Mohamadou Diarra (33)(MF) Rumors he maybe given a Pay and play contract at Fulham.
    Glen Murray (30)(ST) Reading and Fulham looking to take Murray from Palace.

    Regardless of our interest in Steve Cook, Bournemouth don't want to sell and have turned down offers from Premier League clubs. I'd be astonished if he moved to another Championship team, even one like us who have been in the Premier League for several years. If Cook leaves, it won't be to us.

    Yes but that was a loan to the end of the season when his contract with us expired leaving him a free agent. Not sure what QPR are offering him. If anything. Great player for us whatever happens to him I hope it's good.

    Reports today that McCormack hasn't flown out to Leeds' training camp with the rest of the squad. Sounds like something is about to happen, whether it's with us or one of his other suitors.

    Apparently we are the favorites with bookies but that's probably just them adding up our apparent bid last week and the fact he now wants to leave, since last week it has been reported we have told Ruiz and Mitroglu they are staying , can't all be right

    Breaking news on sky sports is that Fulham are officially in talks with Leeds over the Ross McCormack deal!
    Would be a good signing though I hope it's not for the reported £10 million if it is I hope a lot of it is bonus for promotion and performance

    Looks like Maarten Stekelenburg has gone to Dutch side ADO Den Haag, who were 9th in the Eredivisie last season.

    Based on a tweet from this guy - a Swansea Director and supporter of the Dutch club:

    I feel that Caulker would be a great addition for us ok he would be stepping down a division,
    but with the likes of Sunderland AV and QPR in the running, it would require some tough
    dealing, that providing the powers to be regard him as a worthwile acquisition.
    The Walker I previously referred to was the Spurs player.

    There was a piece in the Bild (German newspaper) about us being interested in both of the Xhaka brothers. I though this was way too farfetched for us to be in the running for Granit Xhaka considering Inter and Napoli are supposedly in for him. His brother Thaulant would be a realistic target and apparently Granit wants to be reunited with him so we'd have a better chance of getting both than just one. It would have been the transfer of the summer if it came off but I think that a journalist must have heard that we were in for a defender from Basel (Kay Voser), thought that it was Thaulant Xhaka and put 2 + 2 together and got a crazy transfer story. It would be a remarkable transfer if true though.

    The perceived wisdom on social networks is that the third trialist was Kostas Stafilidis (LB) who we're (almost definitely - see 'Transfer Targets ' thread) signing on loan.

    The transfer of Velkov seems to have hit a little buffer with his current club saying that there are other offers. Still think it will go through, however.

    Stafilidis was not a trialist, he's playing for Bayer Leverkusen right now. I think SBM got it right with the three he mentioned/

    Fair enough FI. The third trialist's identity still seems a bit elusive then. Here's a picture purporting to be of the two who came on in the second half yesterday - the top one is Mark Fotheringham, so who is that in the bottom one?

    Wikipedia (I know, hardly a reliable source) says that Stafylidis has joined us on loan for the season.

    Stafylidis has posted a picture of himself in Fulham gear at Motspur Park on his Instagram account so that's pretty much a done deal.
