2017 January Transfer Window

I ain't buying none of the stuff about Cairney. We stand to make much more money from promotion than selling our best player. Selling him would guarantee promotion wouldn't happen. It would also signal the supporters that we're not serious about promotion, and cause even more lost revenue from the inevitable decline in attendance, not to mention the accompanying drop in demand for team store, concessions, sponsor money, etc. Not happening. On another topic, it appears Jozabed is off to Spain, which begs the question, why did we acquire him in the first place?

 

Yep, that's official now: http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2017/january/13/jozabed-loan
Maybe he was a Rigg's guy?

 

Probably another fabricated window story but...:

Piazon will stay for the rest of the season on loan from Chelsea: http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2017/january/17/piazon-extends-stay

 

Finally. The longer such things take, the more nervous I get.

 

Very happy to read this.

 

Apparently Steve McClaren can't keep his mouth shut about Martin. Isn't this sort of "tapping up" illegal or unethical or both? Doesn't the FA have the right to discipline him for doing this? I'm confused....

Tunnicliffe is heading out on loan to Wigan. This is the second time Fulham loaned him to Wigan. He played 5 games with them in the spring of 2014.

Defensively minded mid-fielder Thanos Petsos has joined on loan from Werder Bremen for the remainder of the season

And Humphrys is off to Shrewsbury Town on loan until the end of the season.

Joka sure likes the defensive types. Martin or bust!

 

Apparently Humphrys signed an extension before departing. So I guess that means Joka rates him. The question is, will he be around to use him?

 

Well kids, what do we think about this development? If the supporter backlash on social media is any indication, how can he possibly be effective for us the rest of the season? Aren't there rules against this sort of thing? Just doesn't seem right.

How is this possible??? It's official, I despise Derby County. Everyone knew he was going back, but to be able to sign an extension after all this BS Steve McClaren has done this month reeks of sleeziness. Have never heard of a loaned player getting a contract extension (add in that it's before the window closing, both clubs are the same division, and only done to force a move is should be against the rules) Anyone have a twitter account? (my message to him below) I don't but I would love to challenge our chairman to open up his wallet, cut a check for the 8-12 million to get a striker and put this guy on the reserves bench and never let him play again. How do we know, if this guy hasn't been missing penalties on purpose? For the good of the sport (not just Fulham), under no circumstances can he allowed to play for Derby any sooner than August.

Mr. Khan; Derby is mocking you, what are you going to do?

 

Another striker gone.

Now we have one... and he just signed an extension with his parent club!

Joka better have something else in the works.

 

Hallelujah! A striker!

http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2017/january/31/cyriac-signs

 

Yeah, but apparently, he's tried to play in England before. So, dare we ask, does he have his work permit THIS time?

I was thinking the exact same thing - especially since we have a recent history of paperwork problems. Although I can't think of anything since Jokanovic came on board so maybe he dots his i's and carons his š's.

 

Basically the club is now counting on Martin to be a model pro...sigh.

 

So did Martin actually receive an extension or just Derby saying they will after the season? Perhaps FFC is prepared to offer him more and have done so quietly? or, i could just be full of caca

 

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. You're not full of caca. I see us keeping him at the end of the season for improved wages, especially if we manage to make the playoffs, definitely if we (dare I say it), earn promotion. I think the lad just wants to be paid.
