indierich06 Posted 8 July 2014 Author Share Posted 8 July 2014 Carlos Tevez - Man City to Juventus - £10 million -----ONE YEAR LATER------- Ross McCormack - Leeds to Fulham - £11 million The game's gone mad. Seems like since FFP was brought in, clubs seem to have started lobbing more cash about to try and get promoted and avoid FFP penalties. Mental.

MC Prussian Posted 8 July 2014 Share Posted 8 July 2014 Carlos Tevez - Man City to Juventus - £10 million -----ONE YEAR LATER------- Ross McCormack - Leeds to Fulham - £11 million I don't mind Fulham at all, I always thought of them as being one of the more likeable London clubs. Still, something inside of me wants them to horribly crash and burn next season, with all this unreasonable spending on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no advocate of spending crazy money on football players. I think Rooney on 300k per week is possibly the biggest joke in World football, but Fulham would argue that if McCormack gets them up, its money well spent. Its a risk, I don't advocate it, but the game has gone barmy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a risk, I don't advocate it, but the game has gone barmy now. His 28 goals did the square root of fcuk all for Leeds last season in the grand scheme of things. If that's the going rate for a one season wonder whose at an age where he is unlikely to improve much then something is seriously wrong in football. I know there is a lot more money in circulation this summer due to the grotesque sky deal but I fail to agree that this is a shrewd purchase at that price. Fulham have some of the best youngsters in the country coming through, I hope paying daft money for McCormack doesn't hinder their exceptional youth players coming through. Leeds must be pissing themselves, well they would be if they had someone with a brain who could re-invest it and give them a chance of competing in the Championship.

His goals did fook all for Leeds - a team who were bang average. Who's to say his goals won't do a lot more for Fulham. I AGREE WITH YOU... 11 million quid is potty money. But Fulham must be banking on it working. We'll see if they are right or wrong. Regards bringing through our own youth players, well Leicester aren't exactly big advocates of that either. It's a quick-fix game these days.. IM NOT ADVOCATING THAT.. but it's here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 8 July 2014 Share Posted 8 July 2014 I've been doing some scouting(not playing FM) And I've come across a kid called Mohamed Elyounoussi, currently playing for Molde. Has scored 9 goals in 13 games, 19 years old, Norwegian international of Moroccan descent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LCFC_World Posted 8 July 2014 Share Posted 8 July 2014 Konstantinos Mitroglou? now Fulham have signed 2 new stikers? Please NO! Did you not see his last minute chance for Greece. Open goal, and would have sent them in to the quarter finals. Failed at Fulham as well - basically proved he is not premier league quality. anyway - signing relegated players is not a good thing.

He was injured for Fulham, didn't really get chance to establish himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapero82 Posted 8 July 2014 Share Posted 8 July 2014 The thing that worries and it's not NP's fault is that players do not seem to want to come to us especially when Nigel has said he has lost out on 2 targets. QPR are favourites for nearly every player we are on bets for I hope Arry I not just buying our targets so we can't sign anybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 8 July 2014 Share Posted 8 July 2014 Fulham may have spunked £11m on McCormmack but they have also shifted 12 first team players off the wage bill 9 of which were probably on a fair whack. Replacing a £50k p/w player with a £15k p/w saves about £1.75m per year. Presumably they think they could get at least £5m back next season worst case so I can see why they have a bit of a budget. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-fulham/transfers/verein/931/saison_id/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
