Christopher Buchtmann (Liverpool -> Fulham)

I can't understand this one.  He was one of our most promising players, a good young player.  I'm interested to see how it pans out.  I suppose we all wanted a surprise at the end of the transfer window...

this is bull sh*t.. & will come back to bite us on the ass in a few years! just dont know what the F**k is going on anymore!!!!

Pretty sure we'd have kept hold of him if there wasn't any problems.

Will be interesting to see how he does at Fulham now though. He better not be good.

Think your the 4th person to mention a problem with him. But nobody has said what it is! Was he in the clubs on the ale what?

Seems a bit quick to be offloading him.  Didn't we only sign him in the summer or am I mistaken?

No Debs he was with the youths last season

WTF!!!

I thought it was a loan move. 

100k!?! 

Was a bit shocked when i saw this, thought he was one of our most promising youngsters. Hopefully we wont regret selling him, especially for £100k.

Sounds like a good lad. Love how Rafa is taking this youth system seriously.

Good call, crouchy.

When did this happen?! I hadn't realised we'd sold him.

Thought he had a bright future ahead of him with us as well.

Good call, crouchy.

Must hurt your back, brown-nosing yourself?

First have to heal my bruised ego after the complete cock up of a prediction on this lads future for the club.

This lad looked a great prospect what happened ?.

Buchtmann heads to Cologne

Fulham youngster Christopher Buchtmann has returned to Germany to join Cologne on a three-year contract.

Buchtmann only moved to Fulham from Liverpool during the January transfer window, but failed to make a first-team appearance for Roy Hodgson's side.

The teenage midfielder has now accepted a move to Cologne and the Bundesliga club's general manager Michael Meier is happy to have signed a player of such promise.

"We are very pleased that we were able, after long negotiations, to complete the transfer of Christopher Buchtmann, especially since there were some rivals from the Bundesliga," Meier told the club's official website.

"Christopher is a promising player. He gained some experience with Fulham and he has also been successful with the German youth teams.

"Christopher Buchtmann is a versatile player who can be used in midfield defensively and offensively

Thank F**k.

That was exactly what I meant by attitude problems. He isn't even 18 years old and if lack of first team opportunity is the reason of him changing 2 clubs in span of 5 months, then certainly the lad has some serious attitude problems.

Ever thought he may have just wanted to return to Germany. Think of it this way. Imagine you went to Germany at the age of 16. That would be very difficult for someone so young.

Guessing there was no sell on clause then?

I wonder how much Fulham got out of that? more than £100,000 we got?
