Ronaldo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 No idea what you're on about. Just seemed like a strange thing to say. Wanting a rival - and let's be honest, a nothing club - to do well through signing a player we could really do with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 As you say, they're a nothing club, it's not like signing Bent is going to make them top class, just a signing that would make sense for both the club and the player. I'd rather have Gomis anyway, would bring much needed hold up ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Gomis anyway, would bring much needed hold up ability. A nothing club that still finished above you last season though. I think Ronaldo's point is that you shouldn't want them to improve at all, whether it's a player you're interested in or not. Agree though. Gomis > Bent. I really like Gomis as a player.

Ameritoon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Well they're going to (attempt to) improve whether I want them to or not. It would be different if this were January and the table had somewhat worked itself out, then there are teams I know we'll compete against who I can actively want for/against signing someone. I just don't see Bent signing for Fulham having that much of a negative effect on us, and I think it would be a good move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It would if we don't get Gomis - and even if we do there's a big 'if' involved. At least we know Bent will do the business with decent service. Just surprised that anyone would hope that one of our targets - a proven PL goalscorer with pace and pedigree - would go to Fulham. Anyway, hopefully we get Gomis and he'll be quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, I mean, that's all based on the assumption we sign Gomis. If not, I'll gladly take Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Fulham Football Club @FulhamFC 1m Jol has confirmed that QPR's Adel Taarabt will undergo a medical at the Club with a view to a season-long loan. http://ow.ly/nEGCC #FFC Retweeted by Oliver Kay Expand Such an expected, "meh" signing. He absolutely tore Fulham apart when he played against them a few months back. From a neutral point of view it was definitely one of my favorite individual performances of last season.

TaylorJ_01 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Berbatov, Ruiz and Taarabt should be interesting to watch. Dat work rate. Absolutely no doubting their collective talent (Berb is my idol) but that simply cannot work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I wouldn't be excited by the prospect of Berbatov and Taarabt in the same team. Berba gets away with it because he has the moment of sheer genius but they'll effectively be playing with 9 men most of the time. I have concerns about Marveaux's work rate at times but he looks like Gattuso in comparison Berbatov is not lazy. That's a myth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can both stay fit, Fulham will have a good season. Fulham's problem arose when Ruiz was out, then it was all on Berba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 They'll have Dekka Boateng and Stevie Sidwell running around kicking the shit out of anything that moves to make up for the 'lack of effort' elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been nearly as effective as they should have been. Hence why they are looking for another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Juan Agudelo's joining Stoke on a free in January, potentially earlier. Normally I hate to go against players leaving for Europe, but he just isn't ready. He only got a little bit of playing time when he was traded here. While he did well, he immediately got injured and hasn't played since. If he's such a good prospect than why has he played for three MLS teams before the age of 21? major red flag. Fagúndez is a much better prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think that's a decent punt by Fulham. There's no doubting that he's got talent - if a manager can make him click he could be a real asset to a mid-table/Europa League-chasing side which, tbf, is probably the height of Fulham's aspirations.

Fagúndez is a much better prospect. I don't blame him for leaving, most 20-year olds are going to leave to Europe on a free, just wish it was to Ligue 1 or the Eredivisie. Still, he's one of the few strikers Stoke have that is a giant and runs with the ball, he could see decent game time. What's Fagúndez' status with the national team, is he a citizen?
