£11M for McCormack

[jimharri]

I suppose if he scores the goals that get Fulham back up to the cash cow that is the PL, then they'll say it's money well spent. But, to my mind, it's absolutely crazy money. He's a championship level striker at best. Leeds' creditors must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Decent player but not worth even half that surely?

Whereas Leeds fans will be crying all the way to league 1

I think it could be like when we bought Lee Bradbury . Good at Portsmouth c*** at City . I don't think Fulham will come straight back up . They still need to sort that defence out . It was leaking like hell in the premier league .

Good point actually. It doesn't really matter how many goals McCormack may score for them if their defence plays like it did last season, albeit against (theoretically) weaker sides.

I could understand it if he was young, but for a 27 year old it's crazy.

What's happened to FFP in the championship?

Parashoot payments for teams dropping out of the PL make a mockery out of any financial fair play in the championship

 

[Crouchinho]

Fulham still have a decent squad so if they can get a striker who can score 20+ goals in that league that could potentially get them promoted. 11m could end up being worth hundreds of millions in the long run if they make premiership football

They still have Rodellega (sp) , Dejagah (sp) , Parker, Byran Ruis on their books unless they've been sold (someone will have to let me know that one) and that Greek chap I cannot spell. It's not a bad squad to have

According to some sites the £11M includes various add-ons; for example £4M is only paid if Fulham are promoted and some cash may be based on appearances. Leeds fans saying their owner is only talking £11M because it makes him look good.
