Fulham linked with the Wolfsburg right back Kevin Mbabu.

Good deal that, particularly if it's for the reported €10 million.

Glad we are not in for him, almost impossible to get a song invented

Not for Blur fans!

Oh Mbabu, oh Mbabu, oh why, oh my.

It's common knowledge that at the moment Gerrard wants a full pre-season with him before any decision is made. Anything else is currently just unsubstantiated bollocks.

In fairness to Vinnie,  he only said that Archer moving would be pending other incoming strikers.

How about Zinchencko from Man City, he is keen to move so he can play CM?  If both Sanson and Luiz leave there will be a gap in the squad and he can cover LB when needed.

Seems a shame as I have always thought he looked good, but if 2 managers didnt fancy him, Its probably for the best and clearly they see him everyday

Correct, it’s correct Gerard wants archer around for pre season which is why if he leaves it will be a late one (and unless we sign a new striker he won’t go anywhere - Gerard wants to have x3 strikers)

Vinnie, any clues as to the central midfielder? Comparing wise?

Reading Vinnie Chase 84's post I don't think he's saying anything is definite and it ties in with what you know....If Gerrard gets an offer of a fantastic striker at the right deal he will probably take it (and Archer will be out on loan) ...if he doesn't and Archer looks good pre-season then he may stay...if not he may be off on loan...nowt stranger than transfers...

Turkish clubs don't have much money so we're either taking a FFP haircut on this or its a loan with a view to recouping a decent selling fee next year. Such a pity though, this fella is classy on the ball and we've just let him fall through the cracks while Luiz and McGinn underwhelm half the time.

I can only assume it’s an attitude problem with him, Both Gerrard and Smith tried to give players a chance but neither seem to have been impressed. It’s also telling that no other French clubs appear to have been back in for him.

McGinn and Ramsey are already ahead of him, Luiz too in my book (when he's played as an 8 rather than 6) so it makes sense. I've liked what I've seen but clearly the managers don't.

I wonder too, if Chukwuemeka could see more of a pathway with him moved on...

I think you are right. We have all probably seen/played with peole like that. Gifted but troublesome or not responding to coaching. If rumours are true - there seems to be a 10 mil. drop in price from when we bought him. Bad financial management if true.

There was no lack of effort when he played.  Who knows what his attitude was in training, but from the outside it's hard to understand why he was never given more of a chance.  Looked decent to me every time he played.

I remember when Gerrard came in, he mentioned having sat down with Sanson and said he didn't care about what had happened in the past and if he trained well he'd get a chance. It could have been the standard clean slate conversation, but I got the impression Sanson was unhappy with how he'd been treated.
