I wanted to thank you Dr. Oziengbe for all of your work and effort. I requested a reunion love spell (to bring back my boyfriend) and within 3 weeks Bryce was back and calling me regularly, and little by little we fixed what I had messed up. Honestly, I wasn’t sure that this was going to work as I had gone to other casters with no results, but I had to give it one more shot. you told me to be patient and i was, and I cannot thank you enough for your work! I have already recommended two friends to you for help with their love lives and will continue to recommend you to anyone I feel needs you. I cannot thank you enough Dr OZ you can reach him if you need his help on his Email droziengbespellhome01@gmail.com
You are a great woman.. You spell work is great.. I am Grateful.

- NFR Trump & Norway -- Lib Hen (He / Him) [GMT] (😷💉🏳🌈✊🏿🌍), Wednesday, January 21, 02:49:43pm (NoHost/62.197.151.37)
Has anyone else seen Trump moaning again, this time about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize? The lack of basic knowledge is staggering! Everyone knows the Nobel Prizes are decided and awarded in Sweden - yet here he is sulking like he's been personally wronged by some global committee he can't even locate on a map.
It's classic Trump: loudly demanding validation while fundamentally misunderstanding how the world works. Maybe if he spent less time whining and more time learning how international institutions actually function, he wouldn't keep embarrassing himself like this.

- SCR -- f bloke, Wednesday, January 21, 11:56:48am (NoHost/2.223.121.65)
Apologies to HemelRog for starting a new thread. For those of you who don't know, the SCR rules limit a club's on pitch spending to 85% of its football-related revenue and net profit/loss from player sales There is also a 30% rolling headroom threshold. In terms of squad related costs - these cover player and head coach wages, agents' fees and amortisation/impairment of transfer fees. The cost of all other staff (including assistant coaches) are not included. Key here is what can be included in football-related revenues. The Premier League website states that club generated revenues count including commercial revenues and net profits from non-football related events such as concerts. What would be interesting to know is, given that the ground and the Fulham Pier project is owned by a sister company to the club and not by the club, will any profits generated by Fulham Pier count for SCR purposes? If not, would the answer be different if a group reorganisation was carried out such that Fulham Stadiums Limited was to become a subsidiary of the club rather than a sister company to the club. Don't know if anyone on here knows the answer to that. I have posed the question to FST.

- I'm not 100% certain if there has been a shift with the rule change to SCR in the summer, but certainly under FFP, you couldn't use revenue generated under another associated organisation towards your calculation. The club book matchday revenues within the FFC company of course, but non matchday/non FFC revenues would be excluded. Whether this changes with SCR i'm not sure, but the only rule changes i can see listed reduce possibility of intercompany transactions (sale of assets etc).

- If we did get him, his pace and crossing would be largely irrelevant. He is brilliant at popping up in space and playing neat through balls. Exactly what Silva likes in a Right Winger. His left side beats players and stretches the game, his right gets into attacking positions for impact plays. Willian and BDR did this. It’s why Wilson is having a good season.

- What i don't understand sometimes, assuming this report is true, is why this is even a thing then. Like, are we that reactive, rather than proactive, that there's been no contact with George or his agent since August, so we're only just finding this out now?

- This is revising history. It was Leeds coming in for Wilson last minute that meant we lined up George as an alternative. Chuk and Kevin were kept late by their clubs due to champs league qualification and Milan having injury issues and requesting to keep chuk till a replacement came. But keep banging the drum (NT) -- Jayffc, Tuesday, January 20, 01:17:04am (NoHost/84.68.119.198)
- Correct, I also find it funny how some like to frame this as such a Fulham thing, late transfers, when in reality it’s when the majority of transfers are done. Summer ‘24 we actually signed earlier than the average, but the reality is that is how the market is; everyone waits to see how the dominoes start falling, unless you’re a city/arsenal/liv and go and splash 200m+ regularly then for a lot of clubs it’s just the reality of doing business with a set timeframe. (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, January 20, 09:01:32am (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- People frame it as a fulham thing, because in every other single summer window other than the one you've cherry picked, we've been later than the average. Transfers may, on average, get done late, and yet we consistently do them later than most other clubs. Incidentally, that wasn't the case under our previous owner, who spent (respectively) a lot less than the current ones. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, January 20, 10:09:46am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- And just for clarity, i'm not saying its right, wrong, or anything else. I'm just stating simple facts. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, January 20, 10:14:56am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- What’s the average for comparable clubs? It’s very well buying early with a 300m budget, teams like CPFC & FFC have to do it differently. Look at CPFC, as later, if not later than us, with cup win & Europe. Also our strategy (wanted by silva) of older established players makes it harder to get early signings. Comparing Al Fayed era to this is complete apples & oranges, PSR rules, countries owning clubs, sheer scale of money needed; it’s a completely different environment. (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, January 20, 03:12:33pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- it varies. We are consistently behind the divisional average (including when in championship). This has varied between 8 and 14 days behind the average, in 8 of the 12 years. Youve missed my point re fayed. the point of me mentioning that was to iterate that it isn't a 'fulham' thing, rather than an 'owner' thing, not to compare then to now. I'm simply pointing out that its obvious why people 'frame' it as a fulham thing - because statistically, it is. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, January 20, 04:50:12pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Sure, but theres a lot of nuance, give us 600m turnover and I’m sure we’d conduct our business differently, anyway my position will always remain, isn’t ideal, but don’t see how people can argue with the results, people at club know earlier is better, but there’s clearly a reason it’s done this way. Also mantain for comparable clubs it isn’t a FFC thing, it’s a smaller budget/established player method thing, to squeeze everything we can out of our budget. (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, January 20, 04:57:01pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- As for age/level of establishment of the player dictating timing, i've not seen or looked at that at all, so not sure if there's any correlation whatsoever. I'll do that on the next iteration of the dataset i look at, but having had a quick look at last summer, it doesnt appear to be the case. Of the 30 players coming into premier league clubs before June 30th last summer, exactly half are 24 or older. Size of club also variable. But its a small sample size. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, January 20, 04:59:49pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Fair, not going to pretend I known the detail of this subject to your level. I’ll just always be drawn to, who’s done the best out of a comparable club, CPFC, they have acted quite similarly to us I reckon and just can’t argue with the results. People at the club aren’t stupid, hence we are a stable mid team, there has to be sound rationale behind why it’s conducted this way, otherwise there’s a good chance we wouldn’t be within such a successful period for the club. (NT) -- Henry1879, Tuesday, January 20, 05:30:37pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
I think we can both agree that we're doing fine overall. I think the divergence is that I think we could potentially be doing a little better if we moved everything forward 'to the average', whereas you appear to think the delay is worth the monetary saving. I don't think either position is massively controversial tbh. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 21, 09:36:47am (85-115-49-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.49.2)
- Yes I agree, my other thought is also availability, how many clubs, certainly for established players, will say, we are going to wait until later in the window, to see what we can get in, what other offers come in. I’d imagine many players doing the same, understanding we are interested but wanting to wait until later in the window to see what other offers come in. Eg. Is Bobb may now be saying, ok but I’m gonna wait until end of Jan and see if spurs or dortmund match the offer. (NT) -- Henry1879, Wednesday, January 21, 10:32:24am (NoHost/185.143.37.27)

Robinson has plenty of energy and pace and I love his overlapping runs … but .. to be a world class ful/ wing back he needs to work on his defending and his final ball. Yes I know he sets up lots of goals but for me it takes 5-6 crosses to create that assist. I know he makes his chances through pace and hard running but Just be more efficient .

Found this article looking st each clubs' structure interesting:
www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jan/18/premier-league-sporting-directors-who-are-they-and-how-much-power-do-they-all-have
Here's the part about us:
Tony Khan started working on transfers in 2016 and became sporting director a year later. Khan is the son of Fulham’s owner, Shahid, and makes extensive use of analytics to inform recruitment choices. However, much of the power is held by Fulham’s manager, Marco Silva. He has a big say on transfers and has been allowed to build a team in his image. Replacing him will not be easy if he leaves this summer. Fulham have slightly gone against the grain. The budget is not vast and Silva has often taken chances on players discarded by other Premier League clubs. He has an experienced, hardened group with a sprinkling of young talent. Kevin, the 23-year-old Brazilian winger, has looked promising since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk in September.

- Not really fussed about that question. If it's works, it works, and it definitely has been these past 4.5 years. As with the desires of some for us to adopt the sort of youth-oriented, high-churn approach adopted by the 3 B's, Chelsea, and pretty much all others, I see value in us zigging while others are zagging.

Anyone notice ESR getting a standing ovation from the Leeds crowd when subbed off? An odd one seeing that he’s never played for them.
But in 2020 he scored the goal that sealed their promotion under Bielsa while on loan at Huddersfield!

Signs of vulnerability have been there during that time, with sending offs and wonder strikes plastering over the cracks.
It's not a moan, but more frustration over the predictability of TK's ponderous approach to the market. He knows that numbers are limited, and particularly this time of year with the African cup, but not so much of even a loan signing to ease the pressure, especially up front, where a 35 year old is being ran into the ground because there's no other real option available except a kid who barely gets a minute on the pitch.
But, to be fair, Leeds have been playing some resilient stuff lately and picking up important points. It's just a shame that we didn't have 1 or 2 new faces with a bit of experience and quality to freshen up the team. With a European place a genuine possibility this season, I'd hope that TK realises the significance and importance of strengthening the squad this month. This was a decent opportunity missed to put real pressure on those Europa league places. We can't afford to slip up now. But does TK really care or want it bad enough?

Anybody out there please explain to me why silva decided to play sess out right, where he always looks completely lost, Wilson in form of his life playing our right gets shifted inside and ESR who is never a wide player in a million years out wide left. To compound that he decides to try and shut up shop against a hard working but severely limited team. I do not get it; almost felt like self sabotage, why try and reinvent the wheel after the run we’d been on; all those connections between players lost and they looked like they had no clue how to attack as surprise surprise they’d all been asked to play a new role. We may well have lost or drawn even if we’d picked the correct team; but seriously, give yourself a chance. Normally I think i can point to why certain decisions have been made; but I’m at a loss, it’s not like Leeds are particularly strong down one side or we needed to really adapt to what they do.

The transfer window is a fascinating discussion. Not many clubs have made early transfers. I think that boils down to availability of players and negotiating the right price. For us it's become even more difficult because with 3 important players away at Afcom and 3 players injured , Marco has got the team performing exceptionally well. Muniz is back in training ,Josh King back in contention and players returning from Afcom next week leaves us in quite a strong position. Who do we actually really need? Potentially another striker would be my option, plus one more creative midfielder would enhance the squad. There aren't that many good strikers available it seems. Let's see what happens but definitely difficult to bring the right players in.Do we stick or twist?

Just like that how quickly things can change, from their best ever season and European football to glasner confirmed leaving end of season, for nothing, perhaps Utd? Or are they waiting for a post World Cup Tuchel/ancelotti/other. Guehi expected to join Man City for probably 1/3 or 1/2 what he’s really worth due to contract situation. Goes to show how tough it is now with PSR rules, how can the middle revenue clubs, below the 600m group of 6, sustain any sort of success. Other side of that coin is its stopping some other teams from blowing us away every transfer window, by restricting their spending, villa, Newcastle, couple of others.

The most objective measure of squad is wages and, we have finished around where we should, he’s done v.well but we have faltered when trophies/Europe have been a possibility, whereas glasner got them over the line on a lower wage bill.

We were never going to keep the likes of Mitro and Palhina when the money and big boys came calling and replace them with the same, much as it has been for Palace with Alise, Eze and Guehi.

Iraola had 4 of his back 5 sold in the summer, CPFC about to lose their best player for peanuts, who replaced Eze? Who’s replaced Mbuemo?

- Nuggets from Wilson Article in the Athletic: www.nytimes.com/athletic/6974603/2026/01/16/harry-wilson-leeds-fulham-premier-league/ -- eganonoa, Friday, January 16, 09:37:45am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
Leeds think he really was close to being sold to them. They made an offer above what they thought was the "right price" and say that the "player was on board" but "Fulham couldn't get it done." Apparently they "sent the deal sheet in after being given some indication it could work" and "a plane was even on standby ... throughout the day to take the winger to West Yorkshire if needed. However, he was never given permission by Fulham to travel."
To me, that doesn't sound very much like we were really going to sell him. It sounds a lot more like preliminary stuff with us keeping our options open in our, seemingly standard, relatively unfaithful and haphazard way of negotiation.
In terms of his performance this season, the article presents a bunch of data which it says "suggest that Wilson’s prolific output this season at Fulham is simply down to better finishing." Basically, they show that in 23/24 he outperformed his xG by just 0.03 per 90, last season it was 0.14 per 90, now its 0.19 per 90.
Frankly, I'm skeptical that the difference between outperforming xG by 0.19 vs 0.14 is the reason he's doing so much better. We're only midway through the season and that gap could easily close while still giving him a ridiculously amazing season.
The real reason he's doing better in terms of goals scored is simply because he's getting more time on the pitch. And he's not getting that because he's playing so much better than last season going forward. He's not. He's getting that additional time, I believe, because last season he showed massive improvement in his defensive work-rate (and he stopped all the diving). As he's now doing what Marco wants him to do off the ball better, he's not a "luxury" but by far the best option we have on the right-hand side defensively, barring moving Iwobi there.

- It didn't seem unthinkable in the summer that we would sell Wilson given he was in the last year of his contract and before his current outstanding form. Our transfer "policy" in and out seems to me like keeping a host of balls in the air whilst catching none until the very end of the window when almost at random a ball or two gets snatched. It never seems like we know who we want before the window opens, have evaluate cost and possibility and then acted decisively.

- The resultant squad suggests it isn’t that random. 2+ senior prem footballers at every position, prioritised keeping together a good squad from last season, which we did, so if there’s a time to not go chasing early perhaps last summer was it. I’d also suggest a lot of other teams fans feel the same, there’s such a mess of agents, rumours etc now it feels like it’s all random, but in reality isn’t. Whilst far from perfect strategy, could also be a lot worse, wolves, WH, LCFC etc (NT) -- Henry1879, Friday, January 16, 11:26:52am (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- It definitely works to generally build a squad with players per position. But it isn't timely as it clearly doesn't have the cost of late recruitment built into it. We could definitely use some modeling to help identify that cost. In baseball they have $ per Wins Over Replacement, which can help you understand that dynamic (two months without player vs two months with player). But as far as I know, there isn't anything like that in football. (NT) -- eganonoa, Friday, January 16, 12:51:14pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- I modelled a correlation of performance vs time of signing and there's generally an early season uplift with it evening out over time. There's never an exact correlation with these things as too many variables, and the base (ie club size etc) is too varied, but it definitely paints an indicative picture that you drop points early on if you do things late. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Friday, January 16, 01:14:25pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Common sense would dictate it would drop off early season, but the club know that, there must be a reason it’s done later, a player is also signed for (hopefully) 4/5+ years, that small drop early season is only a fraction of the time at the club, it’s not all about this season. Personally I feel, could things be done better, of course, but they could everywhere, but can’t argue with the results and recruitment has played a big part in that. (NT) -- Henry1879, Friday, January 16, 01:18:29pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- As per answer above, that correlation exists - but as you say, generally, the 3-5 points it may cost you early season, will not be too damaging if they're the difference between 12th and 14th. Where it does snowball is if you end up relegated by 3-5 points - its absolutely a false economy at that point. So, margin for error, but potential for huge downside. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Friday, January 16, 01:25:42pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- "The club know that, there must be a reason it’s done later". I believe there are two things: (1) you can get good deals; and (2) TK finds it fun. Ultimately we are a play thing, TK is a young American, and I'm sure like all young Americans has been filled with books and films like Moneyball and Draft Day that celebrate the high-pressure wheeler dealer transfer days. Silly. But if that's what it takes to keep our otherwise solid owners involved, so be it. (NT) -- eganonoa, Friday, January 16, 03:22:07pm (cable-146-255-156-96.dynamic.telemach.ba/146.255.156.96)
- I get late bargains, which makes sense, whether people agree with it or not. I’ve never brought this fun/play thing line, they’ve just dropped 150m on a stand, why bother if it’s just bit of fun, they’ve made vast amounts from Jags & wrestling, I’d say FFC is more for profile and the yanks see prem as still a global market with huge growth and money making potential. ‘24 we signed players earlier than the average, we are quite extreme but lots leave transfers late.

TAKEN FROM IMPARTIAL BBC>>>>
the KMI Panel unanimously backed Madley, saying: "The VAR intervention to award the goal was supported as correct, given the tight margin of the offside call and thicker offside lines used for these incredibly tight calls."
The game went on to finish 2-2 with Fulham boss Marco Silva describing Wirtz's goal as "a clear offside" and calling for clarification.
Silva said the club had contacted Professional Game Match Officials to raise a complaint.
BBC Sport understands that the discrepancy lies in the choice of frame by the broadcaster.
The VAR selected the frame when Bradley first made contact with the ball, not when it left his foot.
The broadcaster froze the picture one frame later which gave the impression Wirtz was more obviously offside.

- I don't think the question is whether he would go but whether one of the mega rich Prem clubs would offer him the job.

- I think Man U is a distinct possibility, especially if he has a successful year and gets us into Europe. There aren't really "higher profile" managers around these days whose stock is high and likely to move. Maybe Ancellotti at Brazil after the World Cup? All the old guard big names aren't in fashion any more.

- It used to that the big clubs would select from an "elite group" of established managers. But that's not the trend. Potter, Maresca & Rosenior at Chelsea, Amorim at Man U, Arteta at Arsenal, Slot at Liverpool, Kompany at Bayern. As with players, they're all focused on finding the next big thing and the "big names" are no longer fashionable.

Bassey has been absolutely immense. Hopefully ademola lookman wins it in sudden death penalties with a panenka.

- Other than the usual difficulties of any January Window, the case will be that currently and with the Squad having coped without its soon to return absentees , then there is no pressing need . On the other hand there is the concept of strengthening as you improve to further continuity . Personally I’m happy to wait til the end and see exactly how Silva feels at that point .

- I think it's a perfectly reasonable question, I posted similar last week, particularly knowing Marco's insistence that he needed those incomings asap. It's not the first day of the month, we're two weeks into it. (NT) -- SCA, Wednesday, January 14, 05:15:56pm (NoHost/90.203.120.157)
- Agreed, question is extremely reasonable. Comparing us to other clubs is absolutely moot, when Marco has been moaning from the day after the window closed that we didn't do enough in the summer and needed to fix it in January. I think it's already too late and will be the straw that breaks the camels back. Anyone in now won't play till March. Its pointless. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 14, 05:20:47pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)

- Thats about what i'd expect, yes, exactly. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 14, 06:32:29pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Exception to this rule are: hyper-experienced players, like Raul; those he knows well, like Iwobi; those covering an injury crisis (Bassey at RCB). Otherwise, it's around two months to get a start. All of which points to a Jan 31st loan for Raheem Sterling (or BDR or the like). It is worth noting, though, that the PSV General Manager confirmed we made a 25m EUR big for Pepi, so we may have actually been trying (link inside) -- eganonoa, Wednesday, January 14, 07:00:48pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- That then raises the question of what’s the point of making a bid that has absolutely no chance of being accepted. Done that so many times I’ve lost count. Why bother? (NT) -- SCA, Wednesday, January 14, 07:20:14pm (NoHost/90.203.120.157)
- Where do you start then? You have to make a bid, or should we just go in at 50m as we know it’ll be accepted? You start low, then come up and meet somewhere, that’s how negotiations work. I’d also suggest a lot of the time it gives a player indication you want them and they may try and push it through and a lot of the ‘bids’ clubs make are completely spurious, agent driven agendas.

- My argument would be to get all that done before the window opens so that when it does open, with everything agreed, the player is ready to sign. (NT) -- SCA, Wednesday, January 14, 08:36:53pm (NoHost/90.203.120.157)
- Ideally I’m sure clubs would, but reality is it doesn’t work like that, there are teams with far more pressing needs than us, they’re struggling to get anyone. Silva doesn’t start anyone for 6+ weeks, with that in mind that’s when Muniz, AFCON and in theory all injured players are back, where should we be filling a gap? I’m always of the mind unless there’s a pressing need or an unexpected opportunity then the summer makes more sense to sign players given our limited budget. (NT) -- Henry1879, Wednesday, January 14, 08:54:53pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- It’s a simple question, do you want to keep this manager or not? (NT) -- SCA, Wednesday, January 14, 09:17:24pm (NoHost/90.203.120.157)
- That's kind of what i'm saying, too/ Whether we think, or not, that we need players, january's a good time to buy them, whether Silva would move to Man Utd or anything else are all side issues. Assuming signing players is a pre-requisite of staying, is it worth doing, or would you let him go? The conversation just got circular, a bit like the VAR one below - so i've ducked out. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, January 15, 09:26:36am (85-115-50-2.mailcontrol.com/85.115.50.2)
- Every team says it’s harder to buy in Jan, it’s common sense, loads of teams fighting for stuff won’t move good players on. The manager is a piece in the chain, I don’t believe they should be demanding signings in public, or you end up like de zerbi, signings should be because the squad needs them, not to appease a manager. Of course I want him to stay but there’s a limit, depends (which none of us know) what his demands are, he’s often made these demands but is still here…. (NT) -- Henry1879, Thursday, January 15, 06:52:32pm (NoHost/185.69.145.134)
- This is what i mean by circular. I know your view on all this, and i respect that view fully, but i still don't know your simple, one word answer to the question - Assuming Silva leaves if we don't make signings this window (Yes, its an absolute assumption, and i acknowledge that), do you bow to that pressure, or let him leave? No explanations needed, etc etc, simple two option answer? (NT) -- Same Old Story, Friday, January 16, 08:57:12am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- But it’s impossible to give a one word answer without knowing detail, if he wants 3 players worth 30m each, no, if he’s happy with a loan and maybe a youngster then yes. But my principle position is the same, transfers shouldn’t be conducted this way, to motivate a contract signing, clubs have their process, with manager input (and I’d suggest silva has far more input than most our rivals) if they don’t want to manage within those rules then they should go. (NT) -- Henry1879, Friday, January 16, 09:08:32am (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- Is it now a case that transfers are based on what the manager, not what the squad actually needs. He moaned as much couple of years ago, got Broja and threw 6m down the drain. Any Jan signings, like Lukic, will be predominantly for next season anyway, I don’t see what glaring holes we have after AFCON returns, the only signings made so far are youngsters and glaring holes for teams, not sure where ours are when others come back in. (NT) -- Henry1879, Wednesday, January 14, 06:19:31pm (cpc113812-lea23-2-0-cust213.6-3.cable.virginm.net/86.26.216.214)
- Just for clarity, i'm not making an argument for or against bringing players in, so not sure why you're asking me this question. I'm simply saying that i think that us not bringing people in early will dissuade Silva from extending. He's clearly unhappy with it, whether or not you (or I) think that unhappiness is sensible or reasonable. Whether or not keeping Silva happy is reason enough to make signings is a different discussion. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 14, 06:48:30pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- I don't see this transfer window as having really any impact at all on whether he extends. He's not signing a contract with interim managers at Man U and Real. He'll have his eye on Man U directly and the knock-on effect of Real on other potentially exciting posts is TBD. He's best served waiting on them to work out and play nicey, nicey on signings. Frankly, if he starts publicly moaning about lack of signings I'll be more convinced he's about to sign with us! (NT) -- eganonoa, Wednesday, January 14, 07:09:11pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- I think it’s hard to say, if a Utd want him I doubt a couple of signings will make any difference, he may be not engaging now and keeping his options open, only a few at the club will know what’s going on. Maybe it would have helped, but that’s not how any club should operate, a manager is an employee, the playing squad should be assembled based on what the squad needs, not to get a manager to sign.

- VAR was sold to fans in the basis that it would get the big decisions right and achieve a greater level of consistency regarding officiating. But thus is simply not the case because the implementation of the technology is subjective and officiated by a range if different VAR officials.

- It is getting more decisions right, (those moaning now also those who moaned we didn’t have it) but undoubtedly taking away from fan experience. It was misinterpreted as being a panacea, but it never can be and never will be, as long as subjective decisions are at the mercy of VAR; there is always a human interpreting, even offsides (interfering, error margin).

If we want to go back, won’t happen, but let’s say we did; there would be even more errors, but fan experience would be better.

- This is why I don’t buy into this big club conspiracy, city had that last night and the FA cup final blatant red card for Henderson go against them, Liv are right with us near the bottom of the benefit/loss VAR table. There’s overreach, poor interpretation and errors from VAR, but most things wont ever be fully eradicated, as long as VAR is used beyond fact ie goal line.

- I actually don't give a crap about a big club conspiracy, but it seems to have been obvious for at least a year or two, that, deliberate or not, we seem to be getting the shitty end of the stick. The thing that interests me in that table, is that what does it include? Does it include (for instance) the 2 against Villa which I thought were stonewall, but some disagreed? (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 14, 09:11:22am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Agree theres a good few decisions on there that just aren't included- the Cash handball was one of the strangest decisions I've ever seen- shot on target, arm in an extended position, prevented a goal, it was literally the simplest decision to overturn. I don't think there's big club bias (though they get better decisions at home due to crowds etc) it's just sheer ineptitude and a lack of football understanding. To have the 5cm rule used as reason for allowing Wirtz's goal is plain embarassing. (NT) -- Jim© The Devon IP, Wednesday, January 14, 09:40:59am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
- The table is only those errors that PGMOL have admitted were mistakes and issued apologies. Many many more would be on the edge or open to interpretation or defendable. I'm coming round to the view that VAR should only deal with objective matters of fact but that coaches should have the right to one or two reviews and the on field ref able to decide that he needs help from the technology.

- Defo been on the rough end this season,it’s nonsense they balance out over a season. Not so sure last season, but as fans we of course see way more FFC coverage and (I do anyway) probs forget about the close decisions which go for us at times. I bet most fans think often their club gets the rough end of it due perspective when watching our own team. With social media every event is magnified, VAR has reduced but will never eradicate errors, but nobody wants to accept that.

- I think your last line is a bit hyperbolic in all honesty. Everyone i know is happy to accept that mistakes happen. I've said it dozens upon dozens of times - the problem with VAR is that its STILL being used to make subjective decisions, which is where you get inconstency. Its a problem with the rules, not the technology. Handball example - everything below the elbow = handball would result in some harsh ones, clearly, but it would create a clear rule, which is far less open to interpretation. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, January 14, 10:39:51am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- There will always be unintended consequences, I would tell my players to shoot at oppo players arms, from a yard or 2 wouldn’t be that hard, teams will always try to beat the system. They have similar in Europe and people are often aghast, can’t believe pens are given which is in no way deliberate (the rule), there’s no perfect solution and at no point will everyone be happy with it, I actually don’t mind handball now, if people can accept there will always be some interpretation.

- We got here by nearly every pundit/analyst and majority of fans disbelieving that the biggest, richest sport, was barely using tech, when nearly every other sport was, read so many opinions on why we can’t bring this stuff in when rugby can. Managers can’t accept the errors, eg pep, or silva, we have ref watch for an hour to dissect and say right/wrong, fans on here fuming with right/wrong decisions, people don’t want to accept errors.

- It would be interesting to know if other countries have the same error rate. If they do, then the whole procedure is suspect, if it's just England's problem then it clearly relates to incompetences with our referees.

I’m pleading for a modicum of consistency ie FFC were fined for ‘failing to control their players’ after Felix tried to cut Kenny T in half, and they (naturally - IMHO) mobbed the referee. Given that rules about approaching the referee have been significantly tightened, Cucurella, Fernandez et al should face serious sanctions, as well as any penalty levied on CFC

- Your memory is ridiculous! But you are right. Very similar situation. Also, I reckon I might be lost down a rabbit hole with that youtube channel. Looks like he took the end of season video cassettes from the 96-97 and 97-98 seasons and cut them up onto youtube. A treasure trove of some of my happiest Fulham memories in one place.

- Quite possibly! Never did too many aways. Barely missed a home game 93-02 (Season tickets variously in Stevenage Rd seats, enclosure and Hammy End). Until '97 would only go away near/in London and only sporadically; 97-00 most anything in the Midlands as I at Uni there. Didnt go to Carlisle but was at the Cottage for the fun when the coaches arrived.

Bassey has played in 5, Iwobi 4, Chuckwaeze 3 (1 sub). In the same amount of time we will also have played 8 fixtures, having played 7 so far. In those 7 the appearances of the players they "back up" are: ESR 7, Wilson 7 (1 sub), Lukic 7 (2 sub), Kevin 7 (2 sub), Berge 7 (2 sub), Cuenca 6. The Nigerians have had it (comparably) easy!

- "Run of games" -- Fkev, Sunday, January 11, 02:18:00pm (88.56.159.143.dyn.plus.net/143.159.56.88)
Just goes to show how important a run of games are for a bit-part player to showcase their true ability. Wilson has been with us now for almost 5 years but mostly been used as an impact sub, only starting when there are injuries or used in cups. This season is the first he's been a regular starter and I would think he's turned himself into the 1st name on Silva's teamsheet. One of the best players in the entire league at present and I doubt many of us saw that coming.
Ditto ESR who, with a run of starts has started to demonstrate he's worth the hefty pricetag, after a disappointing first season. He's built his fitness and isn't getting subbed after 60 mins when he does start.
Conversely, you could say the same for Josh King, who started in that position at the start of the season and looked like a worldbeater - a star in the making for sure. When he lost his starting place and then featured as a sub, he looked a different player, well off the pace and shadow of the game-starter from a few months previously. Perhaps 2 such talented players vying for the same number 10 position has driven them both to new heights.
Confidence and and fitness are the main drivers in the elusive "form" that seems to drift in and out for most players at points in their career. What a joy it is to watch Wilson at the very peak of his trade at present and I very much hope we can tie him down to a new and lucrative contract. He deserves it.

I enjoyed yesterday at the cottage knowing the decision on field would be the final one. We discussed it at half time. For me - bin it. It is not really the inconsistency but it is time taken out of the game to review every decision.It is a simple yes or no to VAR. What do you think?

Read a fan quote a few days ago that when the speculation of Harry leaving for Leeds right at the end of the summer window not many eyebrows were raised and he was probably right. Different scenario now I know but how far should Fulham go to keep Harry at the Club?

- As far as possible, but clubs with much larger revenues, hence scope under the new rules, could inevitably afford more. Harry's agent would be bound to advise him to wait till the summer to see if any such clubs bite. If they do (as now to be feared), he'll want to know how much game time could be expected, chances of silverware etc. Then decide whether to stick or twist. Insurance in case of injury disaster would be his only hard-headed reason not to wait. (NT) -- b+w g., Sunday, January 11, 11:23:14am (host86-131-123-27.range86-131.btcentralplus.com/86.131.123.27)

- Absolutely correct on what he's likely being advised to do. I can't remember the last time a player in their final year signed before the contract expired. It just makes no sense to do that vs opening a bidding war for wages and sign on free. Usually I'd say that means he's a goner. But much like Tete last summer, I'm not sure. His age is going to severely limit his opportunities with big clubs. (NT) -- eganonoa, Sunday, January 11, 11:43:44am (cable-146-255-156-96.dynamic.telemach.ba/146.255.156.96)
- Limited scope to clinch him pre-summer via contract offer alone, but other variables also in play. Silva's [similarish] situation. Whether we qualify for a proper Euro competition. And maybe (on the margins) even the length of tenure here of golfing etc buddies. (NT) -- b+w g., Sunday, January 11, 11:51:22am (host86-131-123-27.range86-131.btcentralplus.com/86.131.123.27)

- Why Marco Silva should not be supported for encouraging the club to pay 40m euros for Kevin when he was realistically worth half that at most . And why the demands for players in early doors in January are even worse , literally inviting selling clubs to ramp the price when Fulham calls . It’s because Fulham have lower revenues than many clubs that we shouldn’t waste money on hype and , incidently , we shouldn’t sell players like Pereira on the cheap .

How good was that, being able to celebrate a goal as soon as the ref pointed back to the centre circle. Sure the first goal would have caused a long var check with the position of Raul. That cross from Harry was outrageous, seeing any Fulham player in this kind of form rare and it's a joy to watch.

Do think I've ever seen a player look so relieved to get a goal. He could barely celebrate! It was definitely getting a bit desperate. You could almost hear his thoughts every time he got the ball near the goal: "THIS IS IT!"
Marco's post match interview makes it sound like there was a concerted effort from the team (maybe even an instruction) to get him on the score sheet. He talked about how everyone in the side was looking for it from him.
A bit like Smith Rowe and the struggles he had finishing a match, perhaps with that monkey off his back, maybe he'll really move forward now. He's been very impressive with his work rate and defensive work, and clearly has the talent.
Final thing about his goal, what an outrageous assist from Wilson! Its really getting ridiculous with him right now. A goal and an assist with his right foot. Every time he has the ball and a tiny bit of space it seems nearly certain he'll score. And now he's taking the piss with "crosses" like that!

- It's great to see him see him find the back of the net as the pressure to perform must be weighing heavily on his shoulders. The €40 million has obviously nothing to do with him, but such a price tag does carry with it huge expectation. It would be interesting to see how a short term championship loan helps his development - he'd be potentially unplayable at that level which would do his confidence the world of good.

- It reminded me of barry hayles, who had a similarly frustrating goalless spell after a massive (for the division) transfer fee.

- Very easy to assess attacking players on attacking output and defenders vice versa, but I’ve maintained for a while now Kevin has a brilliant attitude and work rate. He knows if he doesn’t put in a shift and cover Robbo at times Silvs won’t have him and he now does that. Around 80mind Robbo was caught up field, they tried to play a ball in that channel and Kevin was in a perfect LB defensive position, was great to see.

Do you think that Marco picked the starting 11 to show the bosses that we have players who are not of the required standard? Reed, The Streaky One and Mr T are Championship material if that.
I remember when Keegan came I realised we were going places when I looked at the bench and saw players who previously would be first choice and could change the game when they came on. Putting Mr T et al on the pitch late on is a "Why Not? gesture. We need that kind of improvement with this window. Just a few, of proper quality.

Don't know who "the streaky one" is but Reed and Adama are better than "Championship standard" and even if they were having your 5th choice winger and central midfielder at that level wouldn't be bad at all. He picked that side to rotate and give players a chance. He did that throughout the early rounds of the League Cup and did the very same in both cups every year before. Oh, and we won comfortably.

We looked so ropey until the subs came on. Ansare and Traore very unimpressive. If West Ham really want Traore we should take any cash they offer. Sess, Lukic, Smith- Rowe tried to make things happen but nothing really did. Kevin had at least two men marking him but looked poor. I hope the goal will start him up.
We really could do with another striker with Raul leaving. Doubt if a decent one is available in January.
Drawing with the Scousers, a Reed wonder goal, beating the Rubbish down the road and getting through in the Cup. I would havetaken that last Saturday night if offered.
Get Silva, Sess and Wilson signed up ASAP bigger priority than a new signing this Jan.
Onwards and hopefully upwards! CO Y W.

Of course main prorities IS to get WILSON AND SESS on new long term contracts as well as the main man MARCO.
Chucks is also someone we need to take his option UP on sooner than later.
but as of this month we should sell ADAMA this window,,, its time to accept whatever bid SPAM or anyone else is offering for A PLAYER with less than 6 months leff... IWOBI and CHUCKS impending return , with Sess and Kevin also here AS wing options means We NEED TO CASH IN
sell HERO Reedy... again Iwobi will return AND with TC here. Reedy is just blocking Ridegon from game time. So reluctantly we NEED to cash in on his current high profile and SELL to any bidders
Well thats about it in terms of OUTS.
Others like Jimenez, TC, Diop, Kusi and Lecombte get another 6 months to Show us thier worth before summer decisions!

- I like him. It's a very risky market to operate in. How easy is it to flip a £35 million pound player for a profit? And if we cannot sell for a profit it might indicate that the player has not lived up to expectations. Secondly, look at Bournemouth. Constantly buying cheap and selling high (Semeyno to City for 60 million). The other economic point is that I would expect a big money signing to make an immediate impact.

- I like him. Very talented, exceptional skill. Needs time, but already sense he has the character to be a success. Think his head dropped for a while, but seems to have got through that and looks perkier. One thing I think he needs to work on (though admittedly I'm not a professional football coach) is he needs to stop grinding to a halt before trying to beat defenders. He slows the game down to walking football pace sometimes, when a bit of speed and quicker thinking may make it easier... (NT) -- k, Friday, January 09, 11:00:18am (NoHost/90.204.91.94)
- He's going to be very good. When he signed, I doubted he'd be a regular team member until mid-season and even then whether he'd be a guaranteed starter until the following year. He's young and from a much different league. These players rarely just come in and run rampant. There's a reason Marco always calls for established pros. Outside of certain clubs fans, journos, owners, etc. rarely have the patience needed and pile too much pressure on the player and coaches for immediate results.

- He brings a bit of that 'X factor' that we have been missing for a while, a player that when they touch the ball makes you get out of your seat. At the moment you can tell he is very raw, decision making is poor at times but improving. Things that go a bit unnoticed is he has a really good first touch and his crossing (both feet) is actually really good, with lots of variety. Agree that off the bench is best for now as uses his skills set better at the moment. (NT) -- I like him, Friday, January 09, 11:34:28am (82-132-231-139.dab.02.net/82.132.231.139)

Plesantly surprised we are mid table picking up an average nearly 1.5 points per match while suffering less than adequate officials and without the Nigerian trio.
Football is about competing for a significant trophy. Saturday is another chance for emulating 1975 when trotting out at Wembley with little hope of lifting the silver. Alec Stock take a bow, winning all the away replays was oh so very very special. However, West Ham and England leftie Martin Peters at the time was a bridge too far.
Marco Silva knows he is two quality players short from having a truly good squad but we live hoping one day perhaps Saturday will start to be our time.

Fulham is interested in Inter Miami's 22-year-old midfielder and Venezuela international Telasco Segovia, while Real Betis have also renewed their interest in the player. Segovia, who has 16 caps and 2 goals for his country, joined the MLS club in January 2025 from Casa Pia for a reported fee of €2.5 million. His current contract runs until December 2029. According to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €4.50m.

- Robinson's Impact -- eganonoa, Thursday, January 08, 11:51:43am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
Lot's of positive statements being made of late, with which I agree, on the strength of our squad and the quality of our manager in this remarkable run of form. What's unsaid is that this run coincides precisely with Robinson's return in the team.
Can one left-back really have such an impact? Yesterday, Kevin and Sess looked incredible together and Sess had done a more than passable job at left-back in Robinson's absence. He definitely offers more of a direct goal threat. Surely, the gains you get with Robinson (slightly better defensive numbers, much better width and ball progression) aren't enough to radically transform the team?
Yet that's certainly what it looks like. We have four wins, two draws in the league since Robinson returned, following three wins and three defeats in the prior six. And this during a period where we've had up to 7 front-line players out. Obviously it can't be all Robinson. The Raul-Wilson partnership has been massive, as has settling on a system with Berge sitting deep and playing through him. The resurgence of ESR and Cairney has also been huge. And Cuenca replacing Bassey seems to have been similarly important.
But still, it does seem to me that Robinson's return has been the catalyst that has allowed all these things to fall into place.

- It's probably too simplistic to say it's just one thing. There's been a load of factors that have contributed, biggest of all for me is that Leno has definitely looked more like his old self since the burnley game. He just wasn't making routine saves at the beginning of the season. Add in ESR hitting his best form, Wilson's purple patch and Cuenca looking like a step up on Bassey, i'm pretty certain it's not just Robbo being back.

- He doesnt say that though, says it isn’t all down to Robinson and lists other factors, but I am with him that that has been the variable that’s changed, therefore it’s reasonable to suggest that’s the most obvious reason (among others) for the uptick. (NT) -- Henry1879, Thursday, January 08, 12:13:56pm (82-132-223-168.dab.02.net/82.132.223.168)
- Yep, I list all of those bar Leno in my post. But I can't escape the possibility that Robinson has facilitated much of these. Does Cuenca look better than Bassey because he has Robinson next to him, not Sess? Does Leno look more confident because he's less unsure of his left side? Does ESR look better not having any need to provide width on the left? Is Wilson able to further hit his stride because Robinson's natural width means the team can shift a bit right to provide more support over there? (NT) -- eganonoa, Thursday, January 08, 12:16:21pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- Yes great shout and what is hard to quantify and makes such a difference is these games have all been dig in and find a way wins, I believe his ability just to get us up the pitch is so vital. When we are getting pushed back that ability to be aggressive and win a turnover or one of those latter stage bursting runs forward just to turn the momentum and get us some territory.

- Robinson has been our best player over the last 2 seasons and integral to the way we play. Sess did fine as his replacement, but Robinson is better in the air, getting back to cover and has a better assists record. I always thought our form would improve with Robbo back.

- I disagree in part. If you look at where our goals conceded have come from since his return, it has been largely down his side. We have tightened up yes but we have also switched to a back five.

In the last 6 matches, 17% of shots conceded have been down our left side (18% if you exclude the two with a back 5) vs 28% the 6 matches before that. Going forward, Robinson has made more key passes per 90 (1.86 to 0.56), more successful passes into the penalty area (2.77 vs 0.48), more successful crosses (1.38 vs 0.08), more shot creating actions (3.99 vs 1.76) and more goal creating actions (0.61 vs 0.08).

It is always great to beat our closest London neighbours, but when you do it without potentially 6 first team regulars it shows how well Marco has managed the team. To stretch our unbeaten run in a period where there were so many games is truly a testament to the squad. I couldn't fault any of them last night. Robinson to play so many games after returning from injury worked tirelessly. Esr did well moving the ball quickly, Raul what an effort from a 34 year old. Tc so composed again. Sess and Kevin both did well when they came on and Diop Cuenca and Andersen were again very good. All in all a great night for us all.

Want to hold my hands up and admit my prediction of a Relegation scrap due to our Christmas fixture list and missing AFCON players was wide of the mark. Fair play to Marco’s coaching staff and the Squad of players who have all performed so consistently with great team and work ethic, players like ESR, Harry, Cuenca,Lukic, & TC. have all taken on the added Responsibility left by the AFCON players. Lastly Marco has been Fantastic Tactically and he’s handling of players. A new Contract should be stuck in front of him within the few Days hopefully.

Has there ever been a more clinical finisher who has played for Fulham. Of course he’s in a great run of form that won’t last forever, but i can’t think of a player that I’ve felt so confident about when the ball falls to him 10-20 yards out. Just feels when he has it set on his left foot anywhere within 20 yards it’s almost expectant that he’ll score, cairney had that feel on occasions, when it was almost disappointing if it didn’t find its way into the corner from his left foot, but that’s more long shooting, the way Wilson’s first touch and movement creates the space is just so clinical and efficient.

About time Howard Webb came to Fulham & explained the decision making of the referees during our matches.
Chelsea was a penalty even Dean & Hackett agreed
Liverpool Witz offside even Carragher said so & former refs, it's starting to look like intentional bias on behalf of VAR which is not fit for purpose.

Apparently Crystal Palace will listen to offers for Mateta with a view to replace him with Panschelli. This guy looks good and carries a price tag of about £20m. I wouldn’t mind it if we took a look at him instead of this nonsense over Strand Larson (valued at £40m) whose minutes to goal is far worse than Rauls or the supposed £35m required to even start talks over Pepe.
