The BBC’s chief football writer Phil McNulty has just offered his thoughts on what Fulham need in the closing days of the summer transfer window.
McNulty teases the idea of ‘a wild card’ arrival at Craven Cottage:
“It has been very quiet at Craven Cottage this summer but all the indications are there will be movement before the close of the window, with wide positions the area manager Marco Silva will be focusing on.
Silva will certainly hope for incomings after expressing concern about Fulham’s “passive” window and insisting he wants to strengthen in three or four positions. He wants better attacking options.
Fulham have been in negotiations for Shakhtar Donetsk’s 22-year-old Brazilian winger Kevin, along with Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson – could there even be a wildcard to come?
Raheem Sterling will need to get his career going again somewhere after he failed to make an impact at Arsenal.
Fulham need a winger. Sterling is available, looking for a club and keen to stay in London. Chelsea want him out.
Is that deal out of the question? Just a thought.”
The mooted Sterling move certainly seems to be gaining traction again. Who knows what today will bring?
A new director of Football someone who knows something about football get shot of TK as he is useless.
Re John B
It is called nepotism and is an irresistible force sadly..
Doctor John
Of course Sterling available he’s on big wages lost of pace and form well past his best not now as good as Iwobi Wilson Traore or Sessegnon on the wing would be insulting to any of them if he got in before them. Doesn’t matter how good he was in the past it’s what he does now
“Just a thought.” About a month after everyone else had it.
Doesn’t that feel a bit patronising? He’s not good enough for C*****a or the Arsenal, or any of the ‘big’ teams. How about little old FFC? He’ll do for them.
well we now have a reputation as a nice little jolly for older, out of form players now Nick, so expect this to happen regularly
Anyone who thinks wrestling is a sport knows nothing about sport its acting
According to Fulham, the answer is clearly three new chefs!
