Tom Cairney £2.8 Million

Go get this guy from Fulham. Every time I have seen him play he has controlled the game. That is what we need. He is valued at £2.8 Million and is only 26 years old. He would be the player to take us to the Premier League. :clap:

No way is he only 2.8 million as Newcastle bid 10 last year and it was rejected

He would go for 6m+ easy he is one of the best midfielders outside the championship

I thought Warnock & Tan had already warned us that finances were tight, and the days of spending big money were gone.

£10m player. Would be perfect but outside our budget I'm afraid.

Brilliant player at this level and more than capable of playing in the Premier League.

But he wouldn't cost £2.8m. Below is a quote from June, where Fulham's manager says they rejected a £20m offer from Newcastle.


"Benitez asked for him and they offered £20million, but we did not let him go. He is not for Newcastle, there is no business there, he fits in at Fulham. When the team has problems the ball always goes to him and he keeps it.”

There is no way we could get Cairney for that amount. He is a great player (for me the best in the league) and controlled the game against us on the weekend, he’s so composed on the ball and just drifts passed players. If we signed Cairney I would put my mortgage on us getting promotion.

Best midfielder in the championship by a mile..I think the £20 million Newcastle quote is way off, but £10 million + is certainly not out of the question.

What I forgot to add was even at £10 million, that's about £9.5 million more than we can afford

It's soon to be 2018, not 1998!

Where did 2.8m come from.


Best player in the league really

Stefan Johansen would be a more realistic buy but even then he would still be £5m+.
