I would like to see a replacement for Bullard (if he goes) and a wide left winger, maybe Richardson but I can't see that happening.

I can't see Richardson coming to Fulham. And if Bullard does unfortunately leave, he MUST be replaced by a midfielder valued at around 5 million.

Keeping Bullard and Hangeland has to be our main priority. Without Hangeland I can see our defense falling apart. Him and Hughes have been so consistent, losing either one of them would be a huge blow.

We NEED a left sided midfielder. Pedersen or Richardson would be great, but I don't expect either of them to come here, both are starting to pick up form, and I don't see big Sam letting Morten go any time soon.

I would like to see cover for Hughes and Hangeland. Someone like Berra from Hearts or O'Shea from Utd would be superb. Another front man would also be useful, but I do see CJ having a future here, so maybe getting someone on loan.

O'Shea would never come to Fulham as cover Bandit. I saw a bit of Berra last season and I was impressed. I'd love to see him coming. After watching yesterdays game I think Adam Johnson would be a great addition to play on our left wing.

Guys, i'm not convinced we need another central midfielder... Everyone seems to have overlooked andreasen... he made such an impact last year (in relegation battle) and has not has his chance this year. also both murphy and bullard are attacking midfielders and I am amazed that murphy has not been found out as a holding midfielder(even if he has been playing well). I wouldn't change the the bullard-murphy axis, but andreasen is a domineering ballwinner which we lack.
I think a 6ft something cover for zamora (we looked disjointed against midlesborough before he came on to hold the ball up) and yes I agree Hangeland is crucial, for me it is more important for him to stay than bullard.

p.s. I don't rate kamara, but his pace is useful down the wings, and he should be back around february/march, so not convinced we need a left-sided player.

I agree that Hangeland is the main player we need to keep. Bullard is and has been great for Fulham, but if someone is offering a good price for him I think we should take it. I think Hangeland has been the key to keep so many clean sheets this year. If we lose Bullard I think a younger midfielder who can play off murphy would be a good choice. I have faith in Roy's picks.

Hangeland has been reported as saying: he wants to stay on several occasions: so most of that talk is from the media: who enjoy cherrypicking our players for the use of others. Apart from VDS/Finnan: the others who have moved on: Davis/Saha/LBM/Steed to name a few, have'nt exactly enhanced their careers since. All have wasted a couple of seasons polishing the bench, the likely fate of the 2 being touted around in the media: who interestingly are unable to name customers, given that Prem managers have stated: there is little money around unless someone is sold. Only Manc City have cash to splash. Bullard is more likely to go than Brede ( who is on a long contract ) simply because he wants 50 to 65 grand a week, which the club may think excessive for a 29 year old. Q. Are others prepared to pay this plus £6 to 7mill transfer fee? What we do lack is flank pace to assist Zammo/Jonno by getting behind the oppo into the six yard box: where both are extremely effective. Hence lack of goals (especially away). Another lump up front would be handy. Rumour: Hodg looking at QPR's Blackstock for £2mill. Jo Kamara could fill the flank gap based on his season end efforts. So flank pace and an extra lump up front would help. Anyone leaving will be expensive as RoyBoy would need cash for replacements.

I think the priority for Fulham is to keep hold of Bullard and Hangeland. Hangelands been a rock at the centre of defence this season, and Bullard has the creative flair needed to cause the opposite defence problems. He's also good at set plays.

However, they've struggled abit on the road. Some more stability in the midfield could help aswell as another attacker.

A name on some peoples lips is Andrew Surman from Southampton. Considering Southampton are in a relegation battle in the championship at the moment, a move to a mid table Premier League side would be a huge step up for the 22 year old, and 1 i'm sure he'd grasp with both hands.

Also to provide width Aiden McGeady from Celtic could be a good signing, and maybe a fairly cheap option as rumours are abound that him and Gordon Strachans relationship is strained at the moment.
