Don’t think the two players mentioned are a particularly good example of the Fulham academy, Elliot was barely with us a year and Stansfield was 26 when he joined. Most academy players don’t make it regardless of who they play for and the ones that do rarely do it with the club they were playing for as kids. It’s a gamble and the best clubs can hope for us to generate enough cash to keep it viable with the odd chance of developing a gem or nicking one off a smaller club like we did with Elliot and Stansfield.

Not sure I would agree with nothing. Surely 2 European finals and 1 World Cup semi must count for something ? As good as any England manager’s achievements, other than Ramsey, so that places him 2nd on the list of successful managers. We didn’t win true but that seems pretty good to me. As a Fulham supporter you should be used to being a ‘nearby’ team:)

Most are a tactical exercise contrived to win matches not to entertain. How many times I read Fulham posts encouraging our team to win ugly ie. win at all costs. I could not begin to calculate. Beware of the good old double standards.

Yes. Did you know that someone on the highest rate of PIP, can’t walk, dress themselves or cook a proper meal can claim carers allowance to look after someone who can’t walk, dress themselves or cook a meal? Did you also know that person can in turn claim carers allowance to look after their own carer? Or, which is common, get a friend to claim carers allowance so they then aren’t compelled to look for work? Now suppose those three people live in the same house and manage to have some kids in whatever combination they are related. You’re now paying, kids, housing, PIP, possibly a new car through motability, helping them with their bills. Now ask yourself if any of them are going to set their alarm clock to get up at 6am.

Hopefully buying back the Munich failure might not happen now. If we believe all we read we have identified areas and targets and things will be alright.

Bayern would struggle to balance the book (write-off 30m) if they sell him at such a big loss in 12months. So the likely hood is we can loan him back with an option to buy at later date. For me, that would be the best outcome. I trust Marco to make the right decision. He's aware he needs to drop the average age of the team.

Muniz has a marmite type of relationship with most of our fans, including myself. He was so bad when we loaned him out to Boro' that we didn't want him back and at the time, I would have driven him to the station. However, give the lad his due, and Marco and the coaching team for persisting with him, that he eventually turned out to be a pretty decent striker, and his scoring instincts gave us late wins against Newcastle and Chelsea, but at present, I would still describe him, as a decent striker, but he is open to improvement over the next couple of seasons, if he stays. The Finance Director says that we should snap their hands off, if we are offered £36k by Leeds. Providing we could get a striker like Solanki or someone of that standing, we might have a good deal, but my memory stretches back to a certain Alan Clark, that we sold to Leeds, many season's ago, and what a mistake that was, and we would have egg on our face if the same thing happened again. My marmite opinion now, is that we should keep him, with a new contract.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 9:50 AM Two seasons ago I said Muniz had excellent potential and it would be a mistake to let him go as he would be worth £50 mln in two years time. At the time, most fans were crying out for him to be sold and last season he showed a vast improvement and is learning to bully defenders. I believe it would be stupid to sell Muniz to anyone at present as he will be our main striker next season. We must not sell our best players but invest in four proven players from abroad or in the lower divisions.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 1:41 PM DMK, thanks for the correction, and I should have been more sure of my facts, about Alan Clark, before going into print, but I thought that I was right at the time. The other big striker that we sold on out of the blue, was Arthur Rowley. DMK, please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we sell him to Leicester, who I think then sold him on to Shrewsbury. My memory obviously isn't as good as I thought that it was.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 4:51 PM Muniz also on the list for Newcastle by the way. The way how i see it, Muniz is capable of scoring picture-esque goals which look eye-catching and that is why a few clubs are looking at him. Yes he is still a raw talent and still learning. Maybe clubs like Leeds and Newcastle who we played against and beaten twice think they can get something more from Muniz that we didn't do. Marco Silva will weigh up the pro's and con's about Muniz. I suspect that Marco will try everything to keep Muniz because he feels he has natured him and there is more improvement to come. They say patience is a virtue and Marco Silva is a patient man. If here next season Muniz will have to hit the ground running and score more goals. Most Fulham fans have some patience but that will only stretch so far...

posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Wednesday 18th June 2025, 7:51 PM Looking at the games. August -2 points from 9. Sept 6 from 9. Oct 1 from 9? Nov 9 from 12. So maybe 12 points by end of November! probably similar to last season on paper. We need to do as last year winning the unexpected.

We sign the players we need who are available, because we are in competition with many teams who have more to offer than us. If we did not have such a bad end to the season we would have more money to spend and better status to get the players we need. In reality we are in competition for every player with a lot of teams hear and in Europe. This is not a quick business, as probably for every 10 players we seek we only get one. This certainly seems as successful policy as we do not get many failures. Be patient.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Tuesday 17th June 2025, 3:14 PM to be honest, our last minute bargain hunt has worked well for the club until maybe last summer when we bought Anderson and Smith-Rowe. Hopefully, that's a blip and the strategy will work again this summer. so let's rest, enjoy the sun and come back to check on the transfers in 60 days time.

I'm sure that Marco and the board are not sitting at home twiddling their fingers, and work is going on behind the scenes, plus the fact that surely Marco and his cohorts deserve a holiday break, like the rest of us.

None of the Academy players, apart for the one we have resigned, are regular PL League players so our sale of such players is very good business. Chelsea get the best young players because they pay more and are a bigger club.

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Tuesday 17th June 2025, 9:43 AM If we keep producing academy players who are nearly good enough to be Premier League player and sell to some stupid Club who gets lumbered, this must be considered a profitable service unless it is just done so we can help in the selection and training of young players in the area. This is a noble aim but if we do not produce players good enough to be regulars in our or others tram is it a justified cost?

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Monday 16th June 2025, 1:14 PM Now this Labour government are going to treat the British state pension as a "Benefit", I am not sure many who worked 46 years like me and paid my NI tax for a pension will see it like this. The British state pension is the lowest paid in Western Europe, as is evidenced by the need for Pension Credits, these would not be needed if Britain paid as decent living pension. This on the suggestion that Labour is now going to tax anyone who has inherited any money from the deceased if when they died they owed money to HMRC is scandalous (Angie Reynond, her of two council houses, of course) as there is not way that the beneficaries will have any way of discupting these claims!

Just strange that when Trump arranged a parade to commemorate 250 years of American armed forces its vanity and when anybody else does it, UK, France, North Korea etc it’s fine. You could argue though that if the king requires a parade to celebrate his birthday then he could offer to cover the costs from the £100 million he receives annually in ground rent from off shore wind farms, anything left over could pay for the rape gang enquiry. After all, we’re all in it together, diversity is our strength etc. Personally, I’d not be that intimidated by a pub full of squaddies, been there, done that. You seem to forget that Britain surrendered to the IRA long ago and haven’t actually won a war on their own for a few hundred years. The country is currently on its knees and only a Reform election can even remotely save it.

He has divided his country, prolonged the Ukraine war, he still thinks he can do a deal. The middle east is on fire but he can fix that also. etc etc. We can see why America was the police man of the world and boy' do we need somebody from the US who is more tactile with a cool head and sensible right now.

We will get £60 million for Mbeumo to add to the £200 million the club already have in the bank. He will be replaced without doubt. We’ve signed exciting talent this first window and looks like two very good midfielders coming in after the 10th. We are far from finished and looking forward to the next coach who our DOF said will continue on TFs work and take the club to the next level. Keep enjoying your fantasy. Looking forward to playing you guys next season a great Derby game and top banter with my Fulham buddies.
