    Good to hear he wants a permanent deal. Will Stuttgart want him back now that he's scoring goals?

    He is a free agent come summer, unless he signs a deal w/fulham. Stuttgart could care less where he signs since he didn't do much for them when he was there.

    I am sure he will get offer from a few English clubs. But I see him staying at Fulham. We took the chance on him.

    That's good news, would love to keep him around a little while longer.

    I really like him. I think it's essential we sign him since Dempsey will probably be gone come summer.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    I think it was mentioned in another thread...possibly the summer transfer list, he seems to be dragging his feet in signing a contract. Possibly because he might get some more, better offers if he shows well in Euros.

    But Reading is hoping to snatch him up.

    Sounds like he might be off to Reading. But there is nothing official anywhere yet.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    As long as we bring in 3 new strikers, I'm not all that upset by this. I'd be fine with him staying, but hope that if he does he'll be an option off the bench and we bring in a first choice striker.

    This is bad news. We have no recognized forwards if this happens. Everybody here knows that we might bring in two forwards and keep Dempsey up top, but that's only if he stays. If he leaves, we are truly screwed. We have had alot of goals leave so far and possibly even more leaving with Dempsey. Hopefully Mo gives Jol the funds to find us a couple of first choice forwards that can actually score.

    Really shocked and a bit angry with this move. Sky picking it up means it has a real legs.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    Agree with Matt, wanted him to stay, but not overly bummed out he's leaving. Reading waaayyyy overspent (4 years at 45K a week??), and I think the new Russian owner was sold a bill of goods by Pog's agent. As for Pog, good for him and his family, and probably beyond his wildest dreams around the holidays last winter.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    Wow I have to admit I'm surprised by this. I thought he was happy at Fulham, but I guess Reading made a better offer. I dont know how Reading plays these days, but unless they get Martin Jol as their coach, I doubt the Pog will have the success he had at Fulham. I predict he will be stranded up top alot with no service.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    This is bad. You can't lose a guy you successfully gambled on, giving him a shot at the PL, to a newly promoted side. That means that Jol, indeed, might be their next coach if you take him for granted.

    Re: Pog Happy at the Cottage

    Yeah, I don't see Jol being attracted to Reading b/c they were willing to overpay for Pog when we weren't regardless of what happens. There are much more reliable and proven options out there for the money he's supposed to have received.

    Steven Fletcher for one. How that guy isn't in a Fulham shirt is a mystery to me. Imo, he has Fulham written all over him and would thrive with us.
