Fulham are targeting Town striker David McGoldrick, according to reports.

The recently-relegated Cottagers, who on Friday released nine players, are planning a swoop for the Blues' 26-year-old 16-goal top scorer, reported Saturday's Irish Sun.

According to The Sun on Sunday the Londoners are reported to be ready to make an offer of £2 million, a figure which is unlikely to tempt the Blues.

McGoldrick, who was understood to be interesting Crystal Palace and Swansea in January, signed a two-year-old contract last summer having been released by Nottingham Forest, but it’s understood that that deal also included an option for a further season.

The Town frontman, who revealed his qualification for the Republic of Ireland earlier this year, will be back in action in pre-season having been sidelined since February with a knee injury.

BotesdaleBlue added 14:38 - May 24 Just what I didn't want to hear. With arguably our best player on the last year of his contract (possible one year extention aside), management need to address his contract situation with the minimum of delay. If he does not want to commit to an extention, then we all need to face up to the real possibility of him being sold, given that he has transfer value and is sure to be linked with other clubs. However, we are not at that situation yet, so lets hope he will be with us for next season and beyond.

TractorCam added 14:46 - May 24 Not sure why McGoldrick would want to go there to be honest, i can't see him leaving, not for a championship club anyway

runaround added 15:03 - May 24 Would be a sideways step for him to a side who may change manager soon. Can't see it happening myself

ArnieM added 15:09 - May 24 So how could this be seen as career progressing move for McGoldrick? Id be surprised if he left us for Fulham.

jas0999 added 15:12 - May 24 Although Murphy did an admirable job In Mcgoldricks absence, he and the other strikers do not have the same quality or goal threat. Realise we may need to sell in order to bring in players, but we can't afford to lose Mcgoldrick.

Eiffel78 added 15:15 - May 24 Can't see it myself. He'd cost quite a bit after his successful spell here and then, even if we accepted a bid, would he want to leave for a team in the same league?

Dolly2.0 added 15:20 - May 24 A two-year-old contract, Phil? Is he being paid in rusks?

therein61 added 16:00 - May 24 Oh well the rumour season is well under way at least it gives us something to talk about!!

Jimmy86 added 16:03 - May 24 Whilst he's had a great season and has been our top player, do you see him replicating that next season?? Other teams may have worked him out and we will never know whether he would have scored 20 goals, but being on 16 ud certainly have imagined he would have. We rely on him too much and he has had to carry that on his shoulders. He's a good player but if he doesn't sign a new contract we cant risk losing him on a free

planetblue_2011 added 16:04 - May 24 Nooooo!!! please keep him town

Tractamatt added 16:45 - May 24 Nothing to worry about I just can't see us selling him. Him Murphy and ourentire back 4 will be linked to all and sundry. I'm more interested in what's happening with the likes of Henshall and Green?

thebeat added 16:46 - May 24 Fulham? Really? Tinpot club, why would he even consider leaving us for a club like them?

blueboy1981 added 17:29 - May 24 ........... here we go again.

floridaboy added 17:40 - May 24 Swap him for Stockdale! Sure there are some really decent strikers who have been released by their clubs

bluemikey100 added 17:53 - May 24 hear sunderland letting danny graham go free transfer wud score goals

yorksblue added 18:16 - May 24 Danny Graham hadn't done a thing all season, until he played us with a month to go. No thanks. We'll be after Darren Bent next, and he's scored loads since leaving Sunderland eh! Surely we can speculate over better players.

Whitecaps_Fan added 18:19 - May 24 Only consider it if we get Darren Bent & cash

Gipeswic added 19:17 - May 24 Whitecaps_Fan - would that be Darren Bent of Aston Villa?

Whitecaps_Fan added 19:50 - May 24 Gipeswic - is he back there now, I can't keep up. (More clubs than Rory McIlroy)

TimmyH added 20:18 - May 24 I can't see him wanting to go there unless salary is the factor, on another note how the hell did QPR win today?? they can consider themselves (on the second half of the season showing) very fortunate to be in the top flight again, feel very sorry for Derby who have a Premiership stadium, a far smaller budget and have brought younger players through and have abided with the FFP rules unlike the team that somehow beat them today!! - what message does this send out!?

essextractorboy93 added 12:02 - May 25 I don't see why he would go to Fulham to be honest. The links to Palace and Swansea would be more worrying but I think Fulham are a club in turmoil at the moment, so many high earning players at that club and they won't find it easy to get out of this league. Also McGoldrick might not be first choice if he goes there and also the managerial situation isn't clear. I would be surprised if Magath stayed there beyond Christmas unless they get off to an incredible start.
