Fulham have taken up the option to extend Christie's contract for another year, which was due to expire.

Linked with a move to Bologna this morning, who've won and drawn their first two games in the new season in Italy, finished 12th in Serie A last season

Its a funny old game football, a Serie A team are after a player that is nowhere near our team! ( btw I agree with kenny on this one)

**Eminence Grise** · 31/08/2021, 10:06 AM

That's out of the blue. Where did you see that? Last I saw was a move to Stoke in the offing.

**Eirambler** · 31/08/2021, 10:10 AM

You can never tell with these things whether it's agent talk or if there's actually something in it. I suppose Serie A is probably weak enough outside of the top six or seven teams that it's not beyond possibility that he could go there. Probably just agent talk all the same and he'll end up at Stoke or Birmingham or somewhere like that.

Bologna target Fulham defender Cyrus Christie as Serie A side join Burnley and Stoke in transfer chase (thesun.ie)

Its the sun, so we know we are in safe hands !

Bottom half Italian teams are known to make these kind of signings as the don’t have the money to compete with the Bundesliga, PL or Serie A

**Eminence Grise** · 31/08/2021, 2:49 PM

Well, Bologna have just offloaded rightback Takehiro Tomiyasu to Arsenal and trousered £17m for postage and packaging, and Burnley have given Welsh rightback Connor Roberts a geansai and four year deal so that means ... Stoke, yeah, Stoke. Probably. Would like to see him in Serie A all the same.

**John83** · 31/08/2021, 3:17 PM

That could be a good move for Christie, if there's anything to it. Most of the players I can think of who have moved from England to Italy in the past few years have boosted their reputation of had an Indian summer. I think the level is a little lower there, but it'd be a step up from the Championship.

**pineapple stu** · 31/08/2021, 3:25 PM

I see there's a Sydney van Hooijdonk in the current Bologna squad - son of Pierre.

**Eminence Grise** · 31/08/2021, 9:11 PM

Bologna signed Arthur Theate, a 21-year old Belgian CB from KV Oostende. Looks like a loan with an option to buy but it may be a case of Bologna boloney for Cyrus.

Did Cyrus get a move in the end?

No, he didn't. Perhaps it was just as well, given the premature birth of his daughter and illness of his partner last autumn. Cyrus Christie interview: Prematurely born daughter changed my outlook, I can’t let Fulham exile break me down | Evening Standard
Now linked with a transfer to Blackburn or Cardiff, as he is out of contract this summer -- and the Bologna rumour persists, with Elche thrown in for good measure! (The 72, 1 January).

**Demesne Lad** · 12/01/2022, 7:13 PM

A move to Swansea (whose right-back Ethan Laird was recalled by Man U) was being reported earlier today (Planet Swans, The 72, 12 Jan), but it seems to have collapsed during the afternoon (Wales Online).

**zero** · 13/01/2022, 10:48 AM

The loan to swansea has now gone through after all.

So I see.... I wonder what the hiccup in the negotiations was about, but it's good for him and for the BIG that he will get some game time.

**Philly** · 15/01/2022, 2:40 PM

Nice move, hopefully he gets plenty of game time. With Coleman seemingly on the demise unfortunately and Doherty struggling, RB could become an open position in the coming couple of years.

**Olé Olé** · 15/01/2022, 2:50 PM

Straight into the team. Right wing back. Manning left wing back. Obafemi on the bench.

Good few starts in the Championship today actually. Knight, Ebosele, Egan, McGoldrick, O'Dowda, Connolly, McNamara, Taylor, Szmodics, Shipley, Browne, Cunningham, Dunne, Molumby and Robinson.

That's on top of McGuinness, Collins, Lenihan and Travers in the earlier kick offs.

That's 20 players up for selection (excluding McGoldrick) and there's a team in that.
