FFC Summer 2009 Transfer Thread

I mentioned Downing during the game chat on Saturday. I'd love to have him on Fulham, injury-prone nature and all, but realistically a quick young wing who's naturally left-footed and has already played for England a bunch of times will probably have managers with bigger budgets after him. I could especially see SAF interested him if Ryan Giggs decides to hang up the boots this summer.

 

Fulham Women's Team? Wasn't aware of any other black and white sides in London; am I missing something?

 

Maybe he meant Fisher Athletic?

 

oh i love the Fish!

 

What about Boro's Braveheart (Tuncay)? Maybe he's not for us, even if Woy makes changes up front, but he's someone who I would like to see in the Prem again. Holy smokes, was his goal against Villa last week something to see.

 

Except that they're blue and white.

 

Let's get him! On a sidenote, even better than the finish in that clip to me, is the guys reaction to Downing shooting instead of playing it back to him. The guy has a tizzy then all of the sudden Tuncay scores. Too bad we can't see his reaction when the goal goes in. What a goat!

 

I like Paul Scharner and he'd be great for Fulham I think. He's a character just like Volz is too.

 

Apparently Onyewu might be going to Wolverhampton. I definitely don't see him playing at Arsenal. If Senderos can't cut it, Onyewu probably want cut it either.

 

Wheater has publicly said he's going to stay at Boro even if they go down. Wheater would be a good backup at CB though. He might even be better on set pieces than Hangeland. Wonder if Schwarzer likes playing with him though?

 

It looks like a negative on Gooch to Wolves.

 

Tevez is available . . . just saying. I know there is baggage but he's an awesome player.

Is he really as short as advertised? That would make him shorter than AJ

 

What, did Legion of Doom F.C. win promotion this year?

 

I saw some speculation of Gooch to Fulham on fulhamweb.com today. I don't know, seems like a long shot to me. After his stint at Newcastle, he may need to prove himself with low to midtable club, not a team on the doorstep of European play. HA! That was fun to say.

 

Well, Gooch has more European experience than anybody on Fulham probably, excepting Hodgson. I'd be glad to have him at Fulham. Other than Hangeland there no other tall centre backs on the team. Hughes is under six feet and Baird is maybe six feet.

Standard Liege had a pretty good European season this past year as well.
