Winter Transfer Window

I sure hope that Kongolo is better than Stearman.

"Huddersfield have recently added Richard Stearman to their squad from Sheffield United, which has seemingly pushed Kongolo further down the pecking order in Danny Cowley’s plans."

Fulham have signed Bobby Decordova-Reid, who had been on loan from Cardiff, to a permanent contract.

Wondering if Lyon will come up w/an increased offer for Seri. Fulham have apparently rejected two bids (9-10 mill, the link wouldn’t copy), and the club is looking for 15.4 which is the buy option Galatasaray (which they won’t be using) has in his contract.

 

Barring any last minute surprises, it looks like a quiet ending to a (IMO) successful winter transfer window. Sure I would have liked to have added a striker to support Mitro and to use as cover for his injuries. But signing Hector, Cavaliero, Decordova-Reid, Kongolo, and Archer and not losing any of the first team improves the team long term. The only player out permanently was Tayo Edun, though other youth players Harris and Abraham went out on loan.

 

I thought we would see a couple people go out today. Still perplexed by the Archer signing if Bettenelli is sticking around.

 

Cisse has departed on mutual consent. Not much of a surprise on either end.

I, too, am puzzled by signing Archer and keeping Bettinelli. I don’t know much about Archer, but unless he’s the next Lev Yashin, I’m perfectly comfortable with Marcus in if something should befall Rodak.

 

And after 92 minutes in a white jersey, Kongolo is done.

Sad news for Kongolo and Fulham.

 

The title of this article claims to have the reason behind the failed transfer, but the content only states "agent's demands".
