Well even though the thread was set up in spite. I am going to take it seriously.

Fulham have been linked with Danny Ings of Bournemouth and Jonathon Slew of Sheff Utd. Either of them would be very exciting signings and I have seen them play numerous times.

No doubt United or some other thief will rob them off us though.

Whats the difference in Fulham signing these guys from smaller cubs like Bournemouth and Sheff Utd snd United buying players from Fulham?

It's just not right and you know it.

Anyway potential replacements for Hughes if he goes.

I'm thinking a sneaky bid for Ancelloti and when that inevitably fails, we should settle for Jol even though he failed at Ajax and Tottenham.

Hopefully stay away from O'Neill.

Don't start.... Next thing we'll have a "The "why do other clubs steal all Sheff Utd's players and managers" thread 11/12" and "The "why do other clubs steal all Bournemouth's players and managers" thread 11/12"

Fulham with an average league attendence of about 25,000 can expect their players to be leaving.
We at Liverpool "stole" Hodgson and Konchesky last season and ended up with the worst manager in our history and a left back who ended the season on loan in the Championship with his place taken by an 18 year old Flanagan and 17 year old Robinson. Konchesky and Hodgson cost Liverpool £7m to obtain from Fulham and a further £6m to sack Hodgson.
Look at Wigan selling the likes of Palacios and Valencia for major money and could do the same with Rodallega, McCarthy and NZogbia.. that's the example for small clubs to follow. Unearth gems and give them playing time then sell them.
Fulham aren't what I'd call a top 20 team, they're lucky to be in the top flight for the last 10 years when you consider clubs like Forest, Leeds, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd, Middlesboro, Coventry, Leicester are in the leagues below and are arguably bigger clubs.

Why?Because you support them and you don't like it? Theres a food chain in football, everyone buys from clkubs below them and sells to those above them. Such us life.

Ye'd be blessed to get any of those guys tbh.

You did steal Hodgson and Konchesky and to cap it all off you didn't even give them a chance.

Liverpool fans were bordering on discrimination towards Roy. Because Roy is a well spoken, well educated coach coming in from a London club, ye never gave him a chance. Liverpool needed a left back and Roy bought Konchesky because he had worked with him before and knew that Konchesky was an excellent player. But just like Roy, Liverpool fans never ever gave Konch a chance. Could you perform your job well if you had 30 thousand people on your back over the slightest mistake?

Roy is a very very good manager as he has proved at Fulham and West Brom and Konch is an excellent player but Liverpool fans desperately wanted to see them fail so they would have more crap to throw at Hicks and Gillette.

Another thing that annoys me is that if Roy had spent 35 million on Andy Carroll he would have been murdered but since "king" kenny spent it it's alright.

You are comparing a league 1 team to Fulham, talk about being utterly disrespectful. We have won one European Cup and was runner up in the other one.

Ye were a League 1/2 team for many years before Al-Fayeds millions helped ye do to many clubs what you're now crying about United and Liverpool doing to ye - raided them for their best talents.

Go on, name the players we robbed?
We paid West Brom a million or so for Pescholido which was a very fair price.

All I'm asking for is that bigger clubs treat smaller clubs like Fulham fairly.

If you think Fulham have been getting low prices for players then maybe you should take a look at the way they handle transfers instaed of the people paying the money. The likes of Liverpool and United aren't running a f*cking charity, of course they're going to try and get players for the best possible prices. If Fulham are mugs then thats their fault, no one elses. Most clubs manage to get very good money from United for players, I'd say in most cases they over pay for their players simply because they're United.

Anyway ye got very good money for Saha, Smalling and VDS.

We, (Liverpool) gave you £3/4 million for Konchesky along with 2 of our best youth prospects in Kacaniklic and Dalle Valle... nothing fair about that at all. Roy screwed us over big time there

United should have paid somewhere close to 20 million for Saha.

And 6 million plus add ons for Smalling is criminal. He will be better than Ferdinand in my opinion.

Hopefully we sign him. I have a feeling that Fulham may have leaked the Danny Ings story in the hope of putting pressure on Sheff Utd to accept our bid for Slew.

Fulham won a European Cup??? Didn't realise they were amongst the elite of Madrid, Milan, Liverpool, Munich, Ajax etc

We did give Hodgson a chance, he was shocking if given time he'd have done more damage than Souness. His tactics were outrageously bad and his press conferences even worse. Northampton Town are "formiddable opposition" give me a break. Told Pepe Reina to act more like an English keeper and alter his style, had quasi wing back Glen Johnson not allowed over the halfway line.

Konch is so good he was at Nottm Forest for 6 months, I've never seen a left back as bad as him at a top club.

Kenny sold Torres and Babel and paid for Suarez and Carroll in practically a straight swap. Carroll is 22 and has a lot of promise and that £35m is potentially a bargain. Hodgson wanted to spend £15m on Carlton Cole, he wasted £5m on Konch, £2.5m on Jones, £4.5m on Poulsen, £100k a week on Joe Cole and then has the brass neck not to do the decent thing and resign.

By the way he got Blackburn relegated, which ranks as the worst relegation in modern football history in terms of squad value. I know Brian Kidd was there for 6 months but Hodgson left them bottom 3 years after they won the league.

United Paid:
£8 million for Smalling a good but very inexperienced player
£2 million on a 35yr GK (which is close to retiring age)
£12.8 million on saha which was a fair price back then

Hardly daylight robbery

Its not the bigger clubs fault your clubs owners are willing to sell

With Fulham he was pacy, good going forward, solid defensivly. With Liverpool he turned into a nervous wreck because of Liverpool fans.

Cpnsidering ye sold us a complete crock, £12m was excellent business for ye.

The most widely quoted fee I've read over and over is £11m, I'm sure the initisl fee was £6m, but looking at how well Smalling is going, he'll easily fulfil all his addons such as League wins, interbational caps etc. Many eyebrows were raised when United paid so much money at the time, considering he's been playing non-League footbal a year before.

How much did ye re-imburse lowly Maidstone a year before that for buying their young star btw, considering that he'll be "better than Ferdinand" and given that you rate him as more than £11m based on an error strewn 6 months in the Fulham team?

And who the feck thought that when he signed for United. His transfer value represented how he had performed up to then and probably a bit high considering some of his performances. How did you know he was going to have a terrific first season for United?. Hindsight is a great thing. Im sure Chivas de Guadalajara are probably kicking themselves about Hernadez' transfer. Maybe we should start a thread about them being hard done by.

Life isn't fair.

Berbatov pulled the same stunt at Spurs but we still paid £30.75 million for him, Yorke the same at Villa but we still had to pay £12m in 1999 money - probably because

(a) He's not a complete crock

(b) Unlike your lot those clubs aren't complete mugs.

United are of course goiung to try and get the best deal they can, just like every other club that every singed a player in the history of the game.

I hope you never run your own business tbh.

You should be angry with your own club if you feel they're undervaluing their own players, not at the clubs trying to sign them FFS.

8M for Smalling - a player that ye signed for 35k and only played AFAIK 8 games for ye?????????

Come on.

Why don't Fulham supporters protest about Al Fayed and his now declining interest in bankrolling the club? he splashed the cash back in the day but over the past few years he's been prudent - too prudent in the neverending mega bucks PL - and as sugar daddies go he's a bit crap.

No point complaining when VDS or anyone else leaves, if MAF was still throwing silly money around they'd probably stay.

Why would we protest? A European final and high league places in the last 3 seasons show that you don't have to throw gazzolions at it.

How is Rooney the benchmark? One was the most sought after prospect in English football at the time and the other had recently come from non league football and had a handful of starts for Fulham.

Also, got a link to back up Rooney costing 30m? From memory it was more like 24m.
