Locked: Summer 2007 ins and outs

HH has secured a spot with a side playing in the UEFA Cup so well done to him, but I can't see him improving the side much. He is probably their 4th or 5th best striker... Doesn't make much sense, but well done to him and Fulham for striking the iron while it was hot.

 

Would've been our 4th or 5th best striker as well; at least now he's 4th or 5th on a team playing in the UEFA Cup.

 

From reports I read earlier, Runstrom is on his way to Kaiserslauten while Wigan have tabled a 2.5 million quid offer for Brown.

Concerning Runstrom... he was a flop and most every Fulham fan knows it. While he may not of been given the proper run out, he didn't do anything to warrant it as well.

In terms of Brown... I won't be heartbroken to see him go to Wigan for 2.5 million. I wouldn't classify him as "excess" in the midfield, but competition has picked up and me might have a fair bit of pine in his future.

 

Helguson has done well for himself. He is almost 30 years old and has avoided having to play for Watford in the Championship. When you are in your prime you don't want to waste a year playing in a second-class league (anywhere).

Would have been happy if Fulham could have afforded to keep him.

 

See ya, Heidar. Guess we'll see if you really are Premiership quality from afar now. Thank you and good luck, just not against us.

Thanks for everything Heidar...I will always remember your penalty vs. Cech and the sending off of Gallas.

Now, back to Fulham...I hope we can bring in 1 or 2 new faces, namely a CB and another striker!

 

One more CB would be good. Otherwise, give Boca the spot. He seems to be coming into his own.

I'd be fine with one more striker, and/or one more solid back-up to Niemi. Perhaps a young Polish keeper, as they seem to have a pretty good stable of young ones.

 

yes...and possibly a back up keeper. but definitely a CB....preferrably one that will start. what about that supposed loan of a good player...is that just a rumor?

 

i dont know what we need right now, mainly because there are many players whom i dont know if they'll stay around.

i thought (AND HOPED) pearce was a goner, but he played at brighton so i guess he's in the squad? same with qqq (i wanted him to stay)

runny has been linked to somewhere germany, qqq has been linked to the jordies, and brown to the lactics. but what about john and christenval? they've dropped off the planet.

say we lose all 5 players - what then? i really dont want a repeat of last summer where players left at the last minute and werent replaced.

 

ESPN article tries to put things in perspective, but it's a little pessimistic:

Thread on it already KF...

I guess his perspective is the counter balance to all the optimism around the club... debby downers.

 

Fulham bid for yet another irishman?

Sanchez awaits news on Brown's Wigan move:

Brown, IMO, has been deemed excess by Sanchez. I don't believe he is ideal for LS's plans and Wigan have offered a fair price for him as well. LS hasn't got much wrong this summer and don't see much downside to selling Brown... other than we lose a well 'ard player.

 

If a team two divisions down from FFC are the only other ones interested, I think that says it all.

 

Brown is a liability and I don't mind him leaving. To me, he is the epitome of a Chris Coleman player: hard working, hard tackling, 100% effort, makes the most of his limited ability. But too often that effort resulted in bad tackles and outright thuggery. There is a role for a player like that, but you can't make him a central figure on your team and you sure as hell don't make him captain. Smertin and Diop can handle the holding midfield role with a lot more skill and sense.

 

My work has locked me out of the site so my posts are going to be limited on here unfortunately. Anyways, having watched today, we need another center back that has some experience and toughness. I hope we do not have to go through another season with Zat leading the charge in the back. He is NOT Premiership material.

 

OUCH! I guess they caught on then, sucks. I guess they can't be blamed to much.
