Wow, I'd hate to see Dembele go but he has shown flashes of brilliance that would make him a target for bigger clubs. And that would be a hefty veteran exodus, but I do like the idea of getting younger across the board.

[AggieMatt]

Call me naive, but I just don't see Dempsey leaving England. Fulham, maybe, but even then I get the feeling he'll wait it out until he hits 30. He seems to get the big fish/small pond nature of his situation.

I also don't see us jettisoning that many veteran players. Especially Murphy and Duff. They're a little too critical to what we do. AJ, Hughes, Davies and any others on the bench I'm omitting, I can see. Of the rumors I think Rodallega is interesting and Vorsah would be a very smart pick up. Can't say I'm familiar with the others aside from Jay Rodriguez.

[DCHeather]

Alright, you're naive. Happy? I can see a move to Italy or Spain. It would hurt to see him line-up for another English club.

I can see the need to get younger, and Fulham have taken steps in that direction already. But if we get rid of too many of the old guard, I think Fulham would struggle next season. Murph should be kept for at least another year. I can live with seeing AJ and Duff again next year, but not sure about the rest. Davies and Hughes have given Fulham some very good play over the years, but their playing time has been cut significantly this season and haven't shown a lot of reason for more time when they have played.

[nevzter]

Depending on where Roma place this year, I could see it - Demps gets to play for a "big" club, get paid and he doesn't have to play against Fulham. Sad as I would be that he's gone, I'd be far more sad if he donned the Red at Anfield, etc.....

I could see any number of Spanish or German (even Dutch) clubs coming in for him that are already in the CL next year. His selling value will be at its peak this summer - for the good of the club (arguably), I think the board will seriously consider unloading a 29 yr old for maximum value. If Demps and Dembele both leave, I may rent my clothes, and perform a sacrificial ritual.

[VegasJustin]

We can't let anybody leave and Mo needs to realize that if he gives Jol some decent money, we will be in the top six next year and will probably keep improving because of how well our academy is doing. We have dropped alot of points and could be in the top six now. If we go down the route of selling players like we did under Coleman we will be in the same situation as what happened then.


Luckily I don't think we sell any of our top players because Mo gets it. If we can get a RB, DM and another Forward we will be good. Wouldn't mind signing Clyne from Palace and getting a guy like Defoe because he won't get much time at Tottenham. Getting another CB would be nice as well.

Reports from Turkey claim that Fulham and Trabzonspor have agreed a €5 million fee for the Black Sea Storm’s top scorer Burak Yilmaz.

Turkish newspaper Vatan reports that Yilmaz, who has scored thirty goals in just 26 appearances so far this season, has also agreed personal terms with the Premier League club. Negotiations between Fulham and Yilmaz’s agent, Ali Egesel, have resulted in the striker verbally agreeing an initial three-year contract, with an option for an additional year, worth around £40,000 per week.

Yilmaz, who had previously failed to live up to the high expectations set for him when he excelled in youth football, has a €5 million release clause in his current deal and has previously talked excitedly about the possibility of moving to either England or Spain. The 28 year-old, who has scored three goals in his fifteen appearances for Turkey, only really blossomed at Trabzonspor, despite previously playing for both Fenerbache and Beskitas. Trabzonspor manager Senol Gunes, a key mentor to the 6ft 2in forward, revived his career as Yilmaz followed up an impressive loan spell by scoring nineteen goals in thirty appearances during the 2010-11 campaign.

Yilmaz has previously been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid and Ajax and there has no comment yet from either Trabzonspor or Fulham on these reports.

[VegasJustin]

Meh. We need a smaller forward who can score rather than another Pogrebnyak. I won't bitch about it, but won't get excited either. Possibly another Nevland and that worked out alright I guess.

This one is very interesting, and hope it pans out.
