Transfer Thread

And then drag it out for 3 hours with a breaking news story right after this break (and the following 3 ad breaks)

Standing in the bar at the ground last night and looking up at TV and the breaking news banner was unchanged for the 40 odd minutes we were there, but it was staggering news "Haaland in City squad for Burnley game" I was in shock for quite awhile and needed a drink to steady my nerve.
 
Although outside the window, have to say all in all, we have had a decent Jan/Feb here. Get this lad over the line and its (and I hate doing these) its a 8.5/10 for me
 
Its massively open to corruption - financial incentives for clubs to play weakened teams. Play x crap/injured player or it will cost you £y millions

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Fulham need a striker. Chelsea want their striker to play as many minutes as possible. Fulham didn't have to take the deal.
£5 mil is the difference of 2 league positions.

Broja plays 9 games and is absolutely horrendous and then gets injured. Last day of the season Fulham play a relegation battling team, whilst they are safe. Broja can barely muster a jog, but Fulham play him because its worth £4m to them. They unexpectedly lose and their opponent stays up at the expense of another team. Thats corruption

That's not corruption. Chelseas decision to loan fulham borja would not have been based on getting that team relegated. Fulhams decision to loan him would have been because they think he strengthens them. He could score a hattrick in that game. Playing him might even mean chelsea fail ffp. Which could mean a points deduction, which could mean fulham finish above chelsea the following season.

As i said. Fulhams incentive will still be to finish as high up the league as they can. Because you get £2.5m per position in the table.

It strikes me that Chelsea want Fulham to provide a shop window. Play him sufficiently to show other clubs that Broja is worth a decent transfer fee next summer.
