Lost. Probably Not Worth Finding.

Not surprising anyone honestly. This was always probably a 1% chance of happening this month because money buys Fulham nothing right now. They need him to have any shot at promotion, and that is a long shot with him. This summer I bet promo or not they cash in and can buy a couple good promotion contender quality players with the money to fill the void.

I still wish a buy now, loan back, and guarantee he is ours was on the plate but who knows, maybe something can be worked out behind the scenes and just not made public, hence why they are coming out and explicitely stating he is staying this window.

That was always going to be the case.

Makes no sense from their perspective to sell him now because they can get more for the player in the summer.

That doesn’t rule out the possibility that we’ve struck a deal with them to take him in the summer.

Although obviously these words from khan could be read as “please up your bid”.

He could simply be saying a deal is struck, with Ryan staying till the end of the season.

Didn't we have ITK stating that the Fulham owner didn't want to deal with us or would at least be making it difficult. Or did I imagine that?

I believe it had something with them being jealous of the NFL deal.

Re: the comments, not surprising. Wording is key, not leaving this window leaves room for a sale and loan back which I hope we do. Unless Fulham plan on spending cash in the window there is little incentive for them to do that though...

It was rumoured that we were after Dembele and Fulham wanted a loan back deal that we wouldn't accept. He then went to Celtic with no loan back. Make of that what you will. It has then been widely suggested that Dembele failed a medical with us but nobody seems to know if this actually happened.

"I'd like to announce" seems an unusual term to use less than half way into a transfer window, wouldn't "we have no intention" or something similar be more likely?
I'd like to announce seems like a confirmation, like its agreed, it doesn't shout go away we will not discuss it so its hardly sending a message to interested parties to back off is it?
Maybe I haven't got the context or the tone right and I am reading more into it than there is but that's how it struck me.

He went to Celtic in the summer once his contract ended.
