Ha, I like to think I've shown I know something every now and then! Not heard anything particularly enlightening, a number of targets, club hopeful of getting something done ahead of the weekend. Might well be deals which are dependent on other clubs signing players, that's the way it tends to be in January more than the summer. |  | | |

It seems that MM's is in a quandary doesn't it?
Firstly he has sadi more than once on RS that he has one of the best squads in the divisions which could only be bettered by spending 'shed loads' of money.
More recently has has more than suggested he has a list of targets for the owner to consider.
Of course the latter could just be a sop to the fans? | | | |

I think he's essentially happy with most areas of his squad, but clearly Murphy was a major loss and I think most agree a central midfielder is also required, ideally someone to add a few goals. | | | |

That's the issue, who is going to let their goalscoring midfielder go this time of year?
January is generally a terrible time to get new players in, the caveat to that is obviously Stewart who I believe was a January buy, but that was the exception. |  |

It was February pre-transfer window. The real exception is for players who are out of contract in the Summer, so Danny Ward will move somewhere. That's how we got Sears in too isn't it?
The transfer window benefits only the richest clubs and Sky who can proclaim it's closure to countless breathless idiots taken in by the hyperbole. |  |

Seems very likely. Was talking to some of the West London press about him at the weekend. They were saying Fulham isn't really the ideal club for young players to develop at the moment, expectations are very high after a decade or so in the Premier League and the crowd are quickly on players' backs. | | | |

So we won't see you waving behind Bryan Swanson anytime soon then Steve? | |

Interesting. Any idea as to whether were trying to do a loan or permanent deal for him? Seems that way, think Jokanovic spent a fair bit last summer (obviously aided by the sale of McCormack), so it certainly looks like they're trying to buy there way out of the division, rather than develop academy players. | |

The crowd are on players backs nowadays here as well. | |

Hopefully Mick can get him on a permenant deal. |  |

Everything suggests a loan. His name was put to Mick on Monday and he said something along the lines of, "Plays for Fulham, they want to send him out on loan" without confirming Town's interest. | | | |

Fair enough, would be decent if it was a loan with a view to permanent deal. Again though, I suppose everything hinges on what happens with Chris Martin? Yer I did see Mick's comments, cards very close to chest, as ever. | |

Unless it was with a permanent deal stitched in for the summer, that'd be a really disappointing move. | |

You could see why the player and Fulham might want that sort of deal, though. If he scores a lot of goals between now and the end of the season they might revise their thinking about him or he might attract more interest and a bigger fee in the summer. He's contracted until 2018 with Fulham having an option for a further year. | | | |

I wonder if Mick said that hinting he wants him on a permenant deal instead. I could be reading to much into it though. | |

Could well be the case .... obviously the EADT were reporting that Town were hoping for a permanent deal, although not sure where they got that information from. Had a scout around on a couple of Fulham forums, they don't seem to fussed with the prospect of losing him. | |

Yep — no good for us though and not a good sign if we end up going for it. | |
