    This right here is where parachute payments have gone mad. One Championship club paying another £11m for a player.

    I was told that a commentator at the World Cup had said that Boanos would be coming on trial to us, anyone know anything ?

    That is crazy. Apart from the craziness of a second tier club paying that for one player - IMO he isn't worth anyway near that.

    Would be if he gets them up. Bit like QPR buying Austin.

    Apart from last season what has McCormack even done really... six seasons in the Championship since leaving Scotland and his stats read.

    Cardiff City:
    - 08/09 - 38 Appearances (21-Goals)
    - 09/10 - 34 Appearances (4-Goals)
    - 10/11 - 2 Appearances

    Leeds United
    - 10/11 - 20 Appearances (2-Goals)
    - 11/12 - 45 Appearances (18-Goals)
    - 12/13 - 32 Appearances (5-Goals)
    - 13/14 - 43 Appearances (28-Goals)

    Granted three seasons he's scored pretty much 20 goals a season but £11m for someone who usually struggles to get more than 5 is madness

    Austin was ‘only’ £4.5m, admittedly he has injury worries but I’d say he’s the more complete player and a couple of years younger. Although the McCormack price tag says otherwise, this could suggest Fulham are taking the division lightly – ie they’ll go up so £11m isn’t a big deal. That has been many a club’s downfall.

    And if that’s going to get me in trouble as it’s not a rumour then err, Charlton are signing this guy: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nortei_Nortey

    could have got Rhodes for less, know who I'd prefer. Signing McCormack guarantees nothing and I can't see Fulham making the top six. Even with parachute payments 11m for a Championship club is bonkers.

    I think what he said was that he did have a trial with us and was signed on a year long loan but it fell through due to being unable to get a work permit as he had not made enough international appearances at the time.

    Well they spent 11m on Mitroglou and he only made one start, so to Fulham 11m for McCormack is the bargain of the century

    I think Leeds without McCormack last season could have been catastrophic for them. If one player in any side dragged their team through the season into a respectable position it was him. He was outstanding at The Valley and of course we'd have been three points closer to our finishing line if he hadn't have played. If a comparison with Rhodes is to be made I would say that, despite his record, I just never get that feeling of real danger when Rhodes is around the box that I feel when McCormack is anywhere within eighteen yards of the goal.

    Having said that, it just goes to show what you can hold out for when a club with parachute money wants one of your players. Now as for Welsh international and goal scoring sensation Simon Church...the bidding starts at 15k..Cardiff? Norwich? Anyone..?

    11m is stupid money. Thats a decent prem quality striker price from overseas. How much was Wilfred Bony? Giroud? Michu? Remy? Benteke? Fulhum could well be a car crash this season if their big gamble doesnt pay off.

    We'd have also been two points nearer the relegation zone if Hamer hadn't saved his last minute penalty at Leeds :-0 Crazy money IMO and this is what your mid table Championship club is up against not to mention those clubs getting promoted from League 1 Wolves aside. Yeovil and Donny getting relegated last year cases in point.

    Bony was £12m and Michu was £2m

    Yeah but that big gamble with Simon Church nearly didn't pay off.
