Hudson to Fulham

Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:20 pm

Is our Captain on his way to Fulham?

Personally I will be sad to see him go, but we do have too many CBs on our books.

I'd like to see him back to the club one day as a coach.

Fulham have made moves to sign Mark Hudson and Matt Smith from Championshp rivals Cardiff and Leeds.
Manager Felix Magath is keen to strengthen his squad before the close of the transfer window after a disastrous start to life in the second tier.
The Cottagers find themselves second from bottom on just one point after drawing 1-1 with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men on Saturday, having lost their opening four fixtures.

Striker Smith could be reunited with Ross McCormack at Fulham. He is pictured (left) scoring against Bradford in the Capital One Cup last week
Hudson played no part in the Bluebirds' draw at Craven Cottage and Magath is hopeful of adding the experienced central defender to his ranks.
The German also wants to bring giant striker Smith to west London from Leeds as he looks reunite the 25-year-old with Ross McCormack, who left Elland Road for £11million earlier this summer.
Smith was an unused substitute as United beat Bolton 1-0 at home on Saturday afternoon.

I reckon maybe 600k maybe because of his age. Fulham need experience so it makes sense.

They paid £11min for Ross, we shouldn't be selling him for cheap.

The only thing is Huds is 32.I don't think we'd get much more than NIBluebird said, The pay off for us is a reduction in the wage bill.

I will miss the fella.

Great great CCFC servant.
