[LNB]Stoor said: "Things look pretty bad. I really want to leave but it is only a few days before the transfer window closes and the clubs that are interested haven't come to an agreement with Fulham.[LNB]"Fulham has put too high a price tag on me considering I haven't played for long. It is only a matter of a few days left, but things aren't that positive at the moment." [LNB]Asked whether he would be content with a loan move to prevent another season warming the bench, the Sweden international admitted that he would prefer a permanent move.[LNB]"Of course there is that too, but I primarily want to find a permanent solution. Now we'll see what happens. I am still hoping for something. [LNB]"I have played better than last year in training but it still feels pretty cold. So the best thing would be to find a different solution. [LNB]"Things have gone bad for me. I am an offensive player and as a defender that might not always be what you are looking for. [LNB]Rasmus ElmFellow Swede Rasmus Elm was a reported target for Fulham boss Hodgson before the 21-year-old midfielder opted to sign for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, and Stoor feels his compatriot made the right decision.[LNB]"I met him here, but I don't know more than that," said Stoor, who is concerned by the amount of midfielders now at the club.[LNB]"He (Roy Hodgson) has bought three midfielders. He bought Bjorn Helge Riise some months ago and now two more midfielders, so things aren't looking that good for Riise either. [LNB]"He has brought in Jonathan Greening and Damien Duff, and they cost far more than Bjorn did. It is a little hard to know how to think all the time." [LNB]
