Fulham are definitely surpassing all expectations of their season so far with the club challenging for a play-off finish, although they do have to make up a six point difference between themselves and Sheffield Wednesday at the very least.

The Cottagers have completed numerous transfer negotiations over the last 12 months to enhance their performances on the pitch, both incomings and outgoings, and not many fans can complain of the result as the former Europa League finalists strive for a return to Premier League.

If they fail to finish inside the top six then they certainly can't blame the manager or certain individuals in the first-team, after all it is some of the recent signings that have taken Fulham from Championship uncertainty to almost challenging their promotion rivals.

Although there are some mistakes that any club will make and that can be who they decide to let go.

Here are TWO players who have thrived after leaving Fulham....

 

Konstantinos Mitroglou

It might feel a while since Konstantinos Mitroglou last made a competitive appearance for the west London outfit, in fact his final appearance for Fulham came three years ago, but the Greece international only departed Craven Cottage last summer.

The 28-year-old initially joined the then Premier League side for a fee of £12 million but played in less than ten matches for the club before leaving on loan, and eventually permanently in August.

Mitroglou has shone for Benfica in the Portuguese top division, becoming their first choice striker and his 13 league goals has helped guide his team to a current first position.

It is fair to say that the forward has thrived in the Mediterranean and probably will never leave, in the near future anyway.

Adam Taggart

The Australian attacker enjoyed two years at Fulham before calling it quits, and switching England for down under when he put pen-to-paper on a deal at Perth Glory in Australia.

Adam Taggart had previously began his career at his current employee before signing on at Newcastle Jets, and eventually moving to Craven Cottage.

Injuries didn't help the 23 year-old's time in this country but was still not given a run of games which resulted in Taggart considering his future, subsequently moving back to his former club.

He has now bagged 11 goals in 17 appearances for Perth and doesn't look like he'll be returning to Europe anytime soon.

That form has ensured his current time on the other side of the world has been thriving.
