We already know Kostas Mitroglou has gone on loan to Olympiakos. Others rumoured today are: * Reports from Sweden that Kaca turned down offers from top clubs in Greece and a shorter loan deal at Southampton to join Copenhagen for a season long loan. He'll fly to Denmark and sign the contract tonight. Edit: Confirmed that Kačaniklić as a loan until January 2015 * Sky Sports are reporting that Blackburn and Ipswich are battling it out to sign Ryan Tunnicliffe on a year loan Edit: Confirmed, that Tunnicliffe as a season long loan to Blackburn
Strange that other Championship clubs were keen to take Ryan Tunnicliffe. I guess an optimistic view is that it's a loan and if it works for him we may benefit longer term.
The Club have confirmed that before agreeing his loan - "Alexander Kačaniklić has signed a contract extension which sees him committed to Fulham until 30th June 2016." Source: http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2014/september/01/new-deal-loan-for-kaca i'm guessing that in fact the Club took up the option to extend his contract by one year, rather than Kaca "signed". Which is fair enough looking at the long term.
I suspect we'll see a few more leave in the coming weeks on domestic loan deals. A few players I'd like to see playing regularly at League 1 level would be Grimmer, Dembele, Passley & possibly both of the Williams. If Smith is going to start ahead of Cauley then a loan might be best for him too. We still have Hugo and Taggart as back up so I think we could probably afford to let him out with a recall option.
Alex Kacaniklic scored for FC Copenhagen's reserves in a match against FC Nordsjaelland this afternoon. His is Copenhagen's 4th goal - [video=youtube;u89v-d9Cetw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u89v-d9Cetw&feature=player_embedded[/video]
According to Sky Sports we are prepared to loan out Tom Richards: "Left-back Richards has yet to feature for Fulham's first team, but is a regular in their Under 21s side. Richards enjoyed a spell on loan at AFC Wimbledon last season, making ten appearances during his three-month stint at the League Two club. Fulham are happy to send out Richards on loan again so that he can get some valuable first-team action under his belt to aid his development. The news of Richards' availability on loan has alerted a number of League One and League Two clubs who are all keen to bring in the left-back on a temporary basis" A good move for the young man I think, especially with Sean Kavanagh being (apparently) the cover for Stafylidis. And I suspect the first of maybe not many, but certainly a few others - Stephen Arthurworry, Jack Grimmer, Marcello Trotta ... ?? Are there any other obvious candidates who might benefit from going out on loan?
Although he could offer our first team something, I think Dembele could really do with a loan move. He has obvious talent but needs to refine his game and improve his decision making which will come with playing regularly at a lower level. Maybe Plumain too.
Kostas Mitroglou scored for Olimpiakos in their 3-2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, from an assist by Pajtim Kasami. The goal - [video]https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/D19E74FAA01123756766044250112_2119b06536c.0.0.3070 823406657882687.mp4?versionId=SrvVKDS95i9tgPWbMd2U Z.nd1RCZUus3[/video]
Well that just about takes the biscuit, talk about throwing **** at a club in crisis. Kasami assists mitroglou, who would have thought it, good luck to them both though.

Kaca scored a belter today for Copenhagen v Brugge to earn them a draw. [video=youtube;TvQ0efbAWOQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvQ0efbAWOQ&feature=player_embedded[/video]
SkySports are saying that Ryan Williams has gone on loan to Barnsley, although neither club has yet confirmed. As Kit said in his video interview yesterday, "we have a big squad". Guess this means that he doesn't see Ryan getting a regular match day place but recognises that he needs to play.
Confirmed, as short term. "The Club can confirm that Ryan Williams has joined Sky Bet League One outfit Barnsley on a one-month emergency loan deal."
