Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2024

[JimmyConway]

Regarding Andreas I read he had a gentlemen's agreement when he sign that he would stay for two seasons, but the contract was longer so that we would get a fee for him so if that's the case then he is entitled to look around for a move to a bigger club. He has been great for us and although he doesn't score many goals, he creates a lot of chances which maybe is what some of the big clubs will be looking for.

His set pieces are decent (apart from direct FKs, none of which have gone in), he does create chances, and he presses well. The problem with not scoring is more that he wastes a lot of good opportunities. If he goes, so be it, he is replaceable.

If he could score 10+ goals a season he would be a £50m+ player.

I think we can get £30-35m for him.

£30M-£35M looks a bit ambitious to me! Technically very good but questions around other attributes if we are talking playing as the No10 position? For a Top European Team. Good luck to him and no doubt he has confidence but I lean towards he might have missed the boat? if it's the elite teams.

West Ham establish contact to sign 24-year-old wide man after Tottenham exit, Fulham also keen

According to a report by The Guardian, Ryan Sessegnon is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are scouring the market for a left-back heading into the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old has thus emerged as a viable target, especially after his departure from Tottenham Hotspur as a free agent.
Ryan Sessegnon and his Tottenham travails

The 24-year-old was one of the most sought-after prospects in England during his spell with Fulham before Tottenham Hotspur secured his services in August 2019. However, Sessegnon could not establish a foothold in five years at the North London club, managing only 57 appearances while chipping in with three goals and four assists.
Sessegnon's disastrous spell with Tottenham will officially end on July 1 when he becomes a free agent. However, the former English youth international does not have a shortage of suitors despite his dreadful stint with Tottenham. He is a target for his former club, Fulham, with West Ham United also joining the race to sign him.

Fulham's interest in Ryan Sessegnon is understandable. While the 24-year-old has primarily been a left-back in the last few years, he is equally adept at playing as a winger. So, with Willian in the twilight of his career, Fulham should sign a young wide attacker, bringing the outgoing Tottenham wide man into the picture.
As for West Ham, the Hammers have established contacts to sign the Englishman. They have not zeroed in on Sessegnon as their top target and are still mulling over a summer move. However, the outgoing Tottenham man is a viable target, even though Aaron Cresswell has signed a contract extension.
Sessegnon might remain in London after leaving Tottenham, with Fulham and West Ham vying for his signature. It will be interesting to see where he plies his trade in the 2024/25 season.

What sess needs at this point in his career is an arm around him and Fulham is no better place.

He left us with respect, signing that contract that allowed us to make a bit of bank off him.

I believe there's still a player in there, what type of a player is yet to be seen, he lacks the ability to past a man but always found himself in the right place so obviously has a great understanding of the game.

Bring him home

[MickTheBeard]

We are not in the position to give up on a squad place in a 25 man squad for sess to get his mojo back a stronger squad maybe but we are not in that position perhaps I should lend you a pair of my glasses.

Andreas could probably play for a champs league club. But it would be:

PSV
Feyenoord
Atalanta
Brest
Monaco
Brugges
Sporting/Benfica
Stuttgart or Liepzig maybe?

That sort of club. I don't think he'd be getting into any of the major players so he'd be playing in a lesser league to do it. But hey. up to him.

Foe once I agree with you. He's nearly 30 so probably peaked this year. If he plays in the Champions' League it'll be in the group stages at best. It really shows you what a loyal servant Bobby Reid has been - he's not a long way off Perreira technically, yet comes off the bench week in, week out, in the PL or the Championship, without ever coming out with stuff like this Perreira interview. If we get £25m for him I think that's ample for an upgrade or younger player at the same standard.

Iwobi has played in that position .

He's a professional footballer, if he is not performing why should we take him on. I have always been amazed by the constant love-in for him.

[MickTheBeard]

A few rumours about chamberlain why!30 always injured we need a regular midfielder who scores goals not an over age geriatric hope it's only rumours invest money wisely fulham it does not grow on trees not at Fulham anymore since silvas been here we seem to sell to buy we are paying for previous mistakes before siva and he and us are taking the blame for waisting money in the past with no return and failings of a stand which is not finished hopefully dec ahum that's not including hotel and leisure and spa.

[SerbianLad]

Roland Sallai impressive again so far against Germany. Would be one of my top choices for Willian replacement. Helps out in defence a lot as well.

Iwobi has played in that position .

In fact alot of everton fans reckon the no.10 position is Iwobi's best position.

He'll make the squad but won't be a starter for one of the big teams- in my opinion anyway. Although perhaps a different league will suit his style more. Either way, if you look at prices being quoted for players we'll struggle to replace him for less than £30-35m

According to a claim in the Turkish media, Southampton and Fulham have joined the race to sign Besiktas attacking midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

There have been recent reports the former Liverpool player wants a return to England, leading to claims Sheffield United were looking to sign him.

Sabah today report on the latest developments regarding Oxlade-Chamberlain's future at Besiktas, and they say Southampton, Fulham and Sheffield United are all interested in the 30-year-old.

As previously reported in the Turkish media, and mentioned again by Sabah, Besiktas are looking to offload the midfielder this summer as they want to get him off their wage bill. He arrived last summer on a free transfer after his contract expired at Liverpool, but failed to make a real impact in Istanbul.
The competition may come as a blow to Sheffield United in their pursuit of Oxlade-Chamberlain, given both Southampton and Fulham can offer him an immediate return to the Premier League. Recent reports had suggested the Blades were in the lead to sign him.

Oxlade-Chamberlain made 30 appearances for the Super Lig side last season, scoring 4 goals. He's contracted to the club until June 2026.

Seeing Tierney going off injured in tonight's match It's unlikely that we would consider him now.

friend of mine is a s/t holder and said the same.

Tierney stretchered off at the euros further fueling the "made of glass" allegations. A walking leg injury at this point the poor lad.

Probably puts to bed any move for him this summer and rightly so really

[Somerset Fulham]

Tierney has just been stretchered off so I would imagine that will put paid to any move for him.

I must say, it is lovely to see you getting involved Mick, you're good at this stuff when you put your mind to it mate.

I feel for the lad obviously, but am also pleased that should end any interest we have in him, despite his obvious talent.

perhaps I'm sentimental? - perhaps he'll cost all of nothing, perhaps we need left back cover? perhaps it seems like a no brainer to me?

Perhaps you need to clean your glasses?
