The winter transfer saw Fulham race around Europe trying to find themselves a striker. Some targets were genuinely impressive, like Sergi Enrich, but most were a much of a muchness.
If we’re honest, at one point it started to get rather desperate.
Strangely, or perhaps not, the summer has begun in a similar way for Fulham. All over Europe the club have been linked with strikers of varying degrees of quality. It’s unlikely that a lot of the claims are made up by the media, using Fulham doesn’t generate mountains of hits in France or Belgium, but there could be agents seeing an opportunity in Fulham’s quest.
That’s why it’s nice when an ambitious target is linked, more exciting than one which looks to be a complete and utter shot in the dark.
Step forward Diego Rolan.
Following English claims that Fulham have made an offer for the Bordeaux player, 
L’Equipe explain the club’s president Stéphane Martin has confirmed approaches, if not specifically bids and not specifically Fulham.
Rolan is a Uruguay international, he turned 24 years of age in March, and scored 9 Ligue goals last season in 19 starts and 10 substitute appearances. He hasn’t fulfilled his potential, and perhaps needs a move to do so.
There are doubts, but Fulham wouldn’t have a chance if there weren’t, and Rolan looks a lot more promising than some of the others linked with a move to Craven Cottage.
