Winter Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025/2026

[keithh]

Since the initial news on Bobb it seems to have gone quiet, hopefully that's a good thing. I read yesterday spurs were interested as well.

Hopefully one or two of the rumours so far this month come true, Pepi, Lang, Bobb, Atta. Not too keen on Parrott to be fair honest but if very cheap then why not.

See what you were doing there.

?? Not sure what you are referring to.

Just seen on the ever reliable X that Newcastle are apparently / allegedly interested in Bobb

Parrot - Cheap, cheap, cheap.  I assume?

Caw Caw Caw more likely (or "Pretty Polly")

Sorry, I'll get me coat.

Oh no! Toucan play at that!

In other references from the animal kingdom on a slow transfer news day, the Trojan Horse might become our first equine striker since ex-Bricklayer Geoff. Assuming the Italian Stallion Montella doesn't count as he was on loan.

[RAY Rock]

We should be looking at Loïs Openda forget Pepi , Ferguson and Parrot I said Parrot. He is the striker we need Juventus have a obligation but are looking for another centre forward we should be all over this

[Hatch007]

You mean the Loïs Openda that has scored 1 goal in 18 Serie A appearances this season? 🤷🏻

With TV closer to 40 than 30 a CM must be a priority. Next up for me is right back. I think we are alright up front.

[demeant0r]

If he's 100% unwilling to sign a new contract, we should just sell him this window. There's 0% of us getting relegated and we still stand a good chance of top 10 with Kevin on the left and Chuk on the right.

I wouldn't want to sell him without a replacement

Bobb in is one but id prefer that was a deal to replace Adama, as Wilson has been such a goal threat this year and I think Bobb will be a restoration project, and adamas forms been ok the poor side this year.

We would start with chuk and Kevin of course and see if bobb can push ahead of them then ,but leaves us short. If we sell Wilson it's the sort of situation where we'd probably turn to sterling as a stop gap for additional wing cover. Assuming George deal is dead.

Personally don't think Harry wants to leave.

True, ideally I don't want to sell Harry but given how important finances right now are in the sport, if we can sell him for £10m then we should and get Bobb or whoever as the replacement. Pre-PSR/SCR I'd 100% want to keep him until his contract runs out.

Also, apart from poor finishing(which, granted, is a big issue) he had a perfect game vs Man City and played a huge part in us being so close to getting something from that match.

Re: that City game - - - I posted at the time, and still believe now, that had Traore tallied at least one goal in that game (could/should have had three) which helped FFC to a draw or win in that game, I think he would have exploded for a really big season with us.  JMHO

[btffc]

Personally don't think Harry wants to leave.

Don't think he does either, but only if he gets a bumper contract. He's prioritized money first which is fair enough. I'll not criticize someone for that especially someone like Wilson who has never had a huge contract. This is his last major earning opportunity probably for the rest of his life. All things equal I think he chooses Fulham but he is going to take the biggest offer.

[The Cravenette]

That link mentions Brentford being interested. Surely he wouldn't.

[WindyCity]

The Peoples Person??  Reporting Garnacho now looking for a loan in a 'stable' environment.  Not getting enough pitch time with his dream job/club with the mopes down the road.  I've always liked Garnacho, young still, really good player.  Still recall how he broke our hearts at the death with a goal when with ManU.  Anyway, doubt he would even give second thought to FFC.

Kid screams trouble, think that'd a very unfulhamish signing tbh.

Vibes at Fulham are very good at the moment , not sure that's the type of character I'd want in the dressing room.

Well the BBC article has it that he only wants to sign if Silva signs. So that sounds more like he has a sense of loyalty to the manager than he is after the big bucks (although I'm sure he is asking for a pay rise too).

Yes that is him Italian football ball doesn't suit his game he would be exceptional in the Premier league he has burst of speed over 5 yards is strong and skilful we should be all over this

Raul gets injured we have a 18 year old novice playing. Muniz isn't just going to comeback the same player he was it is going to take time 20 minute cameos ect. We 💯 need a centre forward in

Well then all he has to do is sign then

So his loyalty isn't to the club then
