Fulham fans must be worried. The Lilywhites have been pretty average this season and the swashbuckling form of last year has really gone missing.

Indeed, with them drawing too many games and in the bottom half of the table, there is a real chance that their play-off hopes are already over, with so many clubs higher up in the league and looking strong. Slavisa Jokanovic should be concerned for his job, then, and supporters will be worried about the future of midfielder Tom Cairney.

The Scottish midfielder was a class act this season, helping Fulham to the play-offs, whilst he's also been a big miss this season with him being injured for much of it. Even so, he is back now but it'll be some feat if he can help turn things around this year for the club.

A move away, then, might just be that bit more likely for the midfielder and, with Newcastle having a bid rejected in the summer, they might just be the ones ready to come in for the player.

The Magpies have been going well in the Premier League this year and look ready to earn a more prolonged stay in the top flight, something that might look more distant than it did a few months ago for Fulham and Cairney.

You do get the feeling, then, that if the Magpies went in for him with a good offer they could get him to sign and so let's see if Fulham can avoid such a blow in January.
