Fulham manager Martin Jol has ruled out shock swoops for Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov and Schalke forward Raul.

The West London club have been linked with a number of players in the upcoming transfer window as they look to climb up the Premier League table.

"It is not our philosophy [to make signings like Raul]," said Jol. "He is a star but I have another star in that position, who will probably be the same as Raul in the future. Moussa Dembele is on the way to becoming a fantastic player.

"Dimitar Berbatov is at Man United and is quite happy. And if he moves I don't think it will be possible for our club to get him, you know?

"He is certainly a very good striker, he was very good for me, but it is just paper talk."

The Cottagers travel to Swansea City in the league on Saturday.
