West Brom's Gera to make a bizarre move to Fulham

I mentioned this yesterday but he is a player who is all about the money. No offence but he is not good enough to get into a top 6 side, and it does not look as if any of the mid-table teams are that bothered by him either. I think to be honest he would be better staying with you Baggies than go to Fulham but money talks!

I'd be very suprised if this happens. The places Zoltan is linked are getting stranger and stranger - and it wouldn't be the first time the Evening Mail had a howler!

Fulham fan here. I'm glad to hear that we might be signing Gera, as I hear he's quite good. Never seen him play myself, so cannot comment on that aspect, but he must be decent to have the likes of Pompey, Everton and Celtic after him. Obviously, as a Fulham fan, I disagree with the statement that he'd be joining Fulham just for the money. First and foremost, Fulham are one of the clubs who pay least in wages (*cough* Unlike West Ham *cough*) so we wouldn't be blasting out 50k - a - week on an ex. Championship player (no offense or anything) just like that. I'd imagine he'd be given something like 25k/week. Now as for my opinion to why he would join Fulham (will probably be biased :p)... hmmm... Well firstly I think we've got a very good manager, who would have played a huge part in convincing him to join, secondly we're a stable Premier League team, albeit fighting for relegation in the past couple of seasons, thirdly we have ambitions - which in my opinion we will reach next season (mid-table), fourthly this Gera guy seems clever >> He knows he wouldn't be anything more than a rotational player at P'mouth/Everton/Celtic, so decided to build his top level career up slowly by signing for a less quoted side. This just goes to show Fulham fans that we are aiming high, and we can beat off the more quoted teams of this world when it comes to signings, which is a positive thing. Hodgson is probably the best manager we've had since the Tigana era, which is a nice feeling. Anyway, that's it from me :p Good luck for the new season, and let's hope Gera actually does sign for the Mighty Whites :D :D

Yeah we have signed Schwarzer. I don't expect a player of his level to be on peanuts (having rejected Juve and Bayern for us) so I'd assume he's on about 40k a week on a 2 year contract. It doesn't get higher than 40k a week at Fulham. However again, the main reason why Mark joined us was for first team football, which, in my opinion is why Gera would join, but I stress out again, Hodgson must be doing some kind of magic behind the scenes to beat off interest from Bayern + Juve (Schwarzer) and P'Mouth + Everton + Celtic (Gera, if he joins). I am sure that Gera would not be on anything close to what Mark is on, for reasons such as: 1) Mark was a free transfer (or is Gera too? lol), 2) Gera hardly has any top level experience, 3) Gera is considered to be a very average player (for the top flight). I'd say he'd be on 25-30k a week Max. Quite sure Roy would not go higher for a player with hardly any top flight experience. I think the main reason for him deciding to join FFC is a place in the first team :)

Not guaranteed his first team spot at WBA? I think that sums it up then really. No offense, but if he can't guarantee a first team spot at a newly promoted side then how can he do so at a top 8 club? This is why he's off to Fulham then - he's got a better chance of playing, no? :)
