Maybe because Cooper feels BDCR is executing his desired rotations from the left better from all the evidence he’s seen? Plus, it wouldn’t be a surprise seeing him score against his former club would it? Oh - and Castagne’s not in Fulham’s starting 11 today.

Fulham’s lineup for what it’s worth

Tad early isn’t it? Clearly have some eager beavers 🦫 today!

No doubt someone will be posting this in the transfer section questioning why we’re not signing him, but a couple of observations; 1.) The initial attempted pass was awful 2.) His decision to just swing a left boot at the ball was questionable… until we saw the result.

Sounds to me like Broja’s had a look around Ipswich town centre and decided he doesn’t want to live there!

Wasn’t questioning the figures, I think they’re a reasonable guide, just puts Ipswich’s ‘spending’ into context - they have massive headroom to do so (and obviously need to as well).

I like how Casemiro’s annual salary is more than the Ipswich squad (including Phillips) combined!

What is this clubs transfer strategy anyway? Rudkin out! Yada, yada, yada…

It wasn’t what we wanted from the Crystal Palace player car boot sale; but when you go to these things, you don’t want to come away with nothing. We may go back and have another look at that antique Sam Johnstone they had.

“It’s Khannouss, loose, about this hoose”

Guaranteed to score against Palace too. Just need to sign at least one player from all of our other relegation rivals now (Fulham and Saints already taken care of).

Bhah **** it @moore_94 - you got the big one 😔

For balance 'There's now no real excuse for us as players' - Coady on training ground https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c0dgjkr1jm1o "It's an incredible place, an absolutely incredible place," Coady told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "Since the first day I got here, what the lads have been like, what the people have been like, it's full of fantastic people. "The place itself is absolutely unbelievable and it's a pleasure to come to work every day. "The whole complex is unbelievable. There's now no real excuse for us as players. "There's nothing we can look at and say: 'We've not got this, or not got that.' We can train, and train to our maximum, every single day because of everything that is here. "Players stay here throughout the week to make sure we train right, we recover right, we eat right, we do everything right. "It's important we use that to the best of our abilities and make sure we keep improving every day."

I like how we’re so confident our initial £15 million bid will get rejected, we’ve added an immediate second bid of £20 million alongside it. That’s masterful, mind**** style negotiation.

You do realise we’ve already seen that isolated higher pressing 8 from Ndidi in pre-season - and it did not work.

They’re not going for that - they’ve offered him new terms, they don’t want him to leave.

I’m hearing “only wants Saudi”.

They’re taking their sweet ass time about this - here’s hoping it’s because the social’s team have decided to up their reveal video game.

We paid £7.5 million for Coady who’s hardly played - and yet, I’d argue he’s been value for that fee based on what he’s brought to the club off the pitch. I’m certain a key aspect that appealed to the club with Ayew is that he’s a leader. When we were at our most successful in recent years, we had former captains all across the pitch.

Wrong side?

From the more recent reports, I think Zaha’s tax issue is down to the number of days he’s spent in the UK whilst at Gala, impacting on his residency status - suggesting he has a tax issue whether he moves or not.

As much as I would love us to get him, I just don’t see us having the required pull factor to get this transfer over the line.

He gets on with Pickford and Dyche though doesn’t he.

One that’s sadly got away from us 😢

Ah yes, that famous sporting news website “sportmedia1” with an exclusive story with absolutely no detail to it whatsoever and more pop-up’s than re-inflated bubble wrap. This is clearly a very solid, tier 1, source that we should all believe in.
