Player Transfer Gossip

I don't think it'd hurt for Fulham to have a little attitude / chippiness in the squad at this point (Europa League finalists!) - that attitude is lacking against the clubs like Stoke/Blackburn/Wolves that always seem to beat Fulham, despite being clearly inferior.

Yeah, maybe Ireland is a dickhead, but I think ya'll discredit Roy's ability a lil' too much to think that he couldn't mold a fantastic talent - and that's what Ireland is - to fit into the squad.

...it's all moot anyway, b/c he won't be arriving in the SW6 except on away matches.

 

No way we sell Konch unless we're bringing in an upgrade (the other Riise?).

I wouldn't mind seeing us go in for Fletcher. I think he'd be a good replacement should Zamora leave and/or a good strike pairing with Bob if he stays.

 

Dont make me laugh!!!


Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has emerged as a candidate to replace Jose Mourinho as boss of Inter Milan. The 62-year-old has twice managed the Italian side before, the most recent being as caretaker for a season 11 years ago.

I dunno.. sort of worrisome. Not like it was in the Sun.
OTOH, why jump in the pressure cooker and pull the lid over.

 

Except, to hear Jose talk, they coach the same style. You still don't follow that act though.

Besides, I was under the impression Roy was all about the homecoming redemption (English club). No big club openings there unless you count Liverpool. They look more like Spurs, Villa and Everton these days though.

 

According to eveningtimes.co.uk Diomansy Kamara looks to be heading to PSG in Ligue 1. He's quoted as saying he has a 3 year deal contract in place without naming the club, but added playing for PSG "would be a dream come true". You knew he was being sold, but if this story is true Celtic won't be able to lowball and Fulham will get what they are asking for.

 

That reminds me, yesterday evening after work I was out biking in Prospect Park and there was a guy running in a Senegal national team Diomansy Kamara shirt.

 

Aston Villa striker John Carew could be on his way to Serie A, with both Fiorentina and Sampdoria showing an interest. Villa could use the funds to splash out on Tottenham's Robbie Keane or Fulham's Bobby Zamora as a replacement for the Norwegian.

Arsenal are ready to turn to Fulham's Mark Schwarzer, 37, in a bid to solve their goalkeeping crisis.

Yes, rumours has it on the Arsenal site itself about an interest of Arsenal for our great Mark Schwarzer: http://www.arsenal.com/news/transfer-li ... -schwarzer

 

From Arsenal.com:

They source the Mirror on that link.

Had me nervous there for a minute.

 

Robbie Keane would seem to be an odd choice to replace John Carew, since they're totally different types of players. Now, Zamora on the other hand...

Sky reports that Birmingham City made an offer for Konchesky. The article goes on to say that Roy wants to sign Shorey permanently. I think Konchesky looked really good after coming back from his mid-season injury, but overall they're awfully comparable to one another so if we could sell Konchesky for significantly more than it would cost to sign Shorey then it would seem to make sense.

 

agree, jmh. I liked the limited time we saw Shorey, i think he would do a nice job for us, and probably still cheap enough where if we wanted to make a bigger upgrade there we still could.

 

I'll be honest, for all the miscues I've seen from Konch over the years I for sure would take him in the First XI over Bornstein right now if he were American

 

Oh HELL yes. He's much better than any of the USMNT's left back options. Can we, like, trade Hahnemann for him, or something?

 

He's a spoiled muppet because he wanted a small apartment and not a ritzy hotel?
