Ful commitment
The No.1pullout that scores EVERY time TOM’S COTTAGE PLEDGE
TOM CAIRNEY insists he is not about to up sticks and quit Fulham – whether they win promotion or not.
The 26-year-old is sure to be one of the summer’s hottest properties after emerging as a star in this season’s Championship.
Fulham have slapped a £20m tag on the Scottish midfielder to ward off any interest.
Control
But Cairney is only focused on repaying boss Slavisa Jokanovic for giving him the licence to control games.
Cairney said: “I’m just concentrating on playing well for Fulham and helping us win promotion.
“The manager has played an enormous part in my development.
“He gives me the confidence to try things and our style suits me. ®Êby DARREN WITCOOP A few previous managers over the last couple of seasons have not always got the best out of me.
“I was playing on the right wing but I never felt that was my strongest position.
“To get on the ball is what feels natural to me.
“That’s a big factor in my form this season and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I love playing for Fulham.”
Cairney returns to club duty today when victory at the New York Stadium would finally put bottomof-the-table Rotherham out of their misery.
He won his first Scotland cap last week and added: “We dropped some points before we went away on the break.
“So now it’s a case of getting back to basics and picking up points.
“We’ve got a good enough group to get us into the play-off spots.” NOT A CAIR IN THE WORLD: Scotland debut and a sizzling season has left Tom Cairney riding high BOLTON goalkeeper Ben Alnwick (knee) and Andrew Taylor (calf) are both out.
