As I said, there are some who aren't bothered but none of them mention parrying the ball into danger as an issue. It's all about commanding his area. And nobody calls him "toilet", they're just not too worried if he leaves. Also, I remember Hull being very keen to sign him permanently when on...

Known to be by who exactly? From what I read on the Fulham forums, they said his weakness was commanding his area and he's a brilliant shot stopper (at least the ones who didn't rate him were saying that). You talk as if he's as well known as Manuel Neuer.

Are you serious or being sarcastic? If the former, why is he somebody with knowledge?

What a load of rubbish. Stockdale has got good reports from all his loan clubs, especially Hull where they really wanted to sign him permanently. The majority of Fulham fans want him as their number one this season if you look at their website.

It's only 5-10% of the profit though. So, assuming the Argus is right and we get an initial £8 million and we paid £2 million for him, it would be £300K to £600K depending on the sell on initially.

Bennett was about £1.5 million too. I thought Noone was a bit lower, about £1 million. Was CKR that much. I think it was about £500K and then a significant sell on when Sheffield United sold him on but not that much.

Holsgrove. First name might have been Paul.

Forgot about Hall and Barry. Problem with today's transfer in this case is that they're all undisclosed. While we all know Ulloa is our record sale and Bridcutt second despite that, I've seen figures from £350K to £750K for Barnes. Nobody except the clubs know the exact amount.

Not sure that's true. I imagine we're close to three signings. Sounds like Stockdale might be close (although I still find it hard to believe we'll sign him), Ward may well be close and one other. Johnny Cantor must have strong links with the club so would be surprised if he just guessed that.

Don't have a link but they must include Ulloa, Bridcutt, Bennett, Zamora, Virgo, Noone, Lawrenson. Am I missing any really obvious ones?

Also, I notice on Sky, it says Charlton are closing in on Henderson. The question is have they beaten us to him or have we pulled out to sign Stockdale?

Obviously, they wouldn't sell him on that basis. Also, we don't know how quickly Walton will develop. He's clearly a very talented player but, now we've tied him down to a long term deal, I don't think we should write off signing any quality keepers so we can wait until he's ready. He will...

I completely agree with this. Strikers in this country are massively overpriced. Why get one of them when you can get a deal like Ulloa. Even if the original reports are right, we've tripled our investment in one and a half years and he's been great for us.

Because Stockdale is a very impressive keeper and, if we're going for promotion over the next 2/3 years, he would be key. Hence, we won't just buy a stop gap. Also, at 28, he'd still only be 30 in 2 years time so would have a decent sell on value at that time.

He was first choice for Fulham in the Premier League at the end of last season, ahead of a keeper who played for Holland in the World Cup Final in 2010. If we get Stockdale for £1 million, it would be an absolute bargain. He's looked great for Hull, when he's played against us on loan. I still...

Is that definite? Would be delighted to get Ward back. If Ulloa going allows us to bring in a replacement for him and ensures we can get Ward, our keeper target and a couple of others, I think that's great business.

Think we'll look overseas. Ulloa was such good value for money and we made a huge profit on him. Players also tend to cost less overseas, especially as all clubs will hike up prices now we've sold Ulloa. Argus also suggesting in the O'Grady article that there may even be two more strikers...

Very happy with everything I've heard about O'Grady. Must admit my first reaction was underwhelmed but having looked at his record at Barnsley, that quickly changed. Those comments on the Barnsley website make him sound a great signing. Let's be honest, how much would you usually expect to pay...

If true, £8 million (possibly rising to £10 million) would be an incredible deal for the club. I really rated Ulloa but that fee is just mind blowing. For all the moaning on here, we've so far replaced Bridcutt with a free transfer who would have played in the Champions League if he'd stayed at...

Video of O'Grady looks promising too. A lot of different types of goals and takes a good penalty. Given our recent record on that front, I'd be tempted to pay £500K just for that!
