I'm not suggesting that's Bryan, but he said it's not the only announcement they have that'll excite fans. I've just got a bad feeling, given it seems to have stalled from our end.

Why do you think it had stalled? The French league finished on the weekend. He flew back to London yesterday. He will probably have a meeting with Silva in the coming days, if not done already and then I would imagine Fulham will announce their retained list once other conversations are had with other players shortly after. Then there should be some significant movement. Relax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he signs or not is a completely different matter. But his season ended on Saturday and the fact he hadn't been announced by the Monday is not evidence of stalling. I have no idea if he's signing but if he doesn't, it won't be the first or last time a footballer negotiates with more than 1 club before deciding which offer to accept. Where is your evidence of "stalling"? The fact he wasn't announced within minutes of the rumour surfacing on Otib? Ridiculous. Within seconds of his season ending on Saturday? Ridiculous.
