🌞Summer Silly Season Transfer thread 2026

[General]

Love that. Ricardo Pepi is going to be a joy to watch. Surely this is a good sign for Silva's contract? I doubt a player joins us without hearing the plans of the manager? Maybe I'm naive.

That's the hope. Rarely have we signed a played mid season and outside of the transfer windows. Fingers crossed it all goes ahead and is just a formality. Would be refreshing to have him signed before the end of the season, especially with all the ambiguity that's been going in around Wilson, Silva, Raul and our form

Fulham on verge of signing ex-Arsenal youngster Casey
Latest from Sky Sports News' Adrian Kajumba:

Fulham are on the verge of signing former Arsenal youngster Dan Casey.
Casey has completed a medical with the Craven Cottage club and is expected to sign an initial two-year deal.

The 18-year-old will begin his Fulham career in their U21s setup.
The move to Fulham will end months of uncertainty over his future for Casey.
The attacking midfielder left Arsenal last summer after turning down a professional deal to explore other options. He firstly saw a proposed move to Crystal Palace break down and has also spent time training with Manchester City and Feyenoord.

But Fulham have now managed to agree a compensation package with Arsenal to sign the teenager.
Casey joined Arsenal aged seven and shone for their U18s last season, scoring 18 goals in 21 appearances. He also featured for their U19 and U21 sides and trained with Mikel Arteta's first team.
Casey was born in London but is also eligible to play for Italy through his mother.
Sky Sports News understands he is expected to be in contention for a call-up to Italy's U19s squad once his club future is finally resolved and he has settled into life at Fulham. ‎

Is he steaming and a puffing

Why would we do the medical now?

He might break a fetlock between now and the end of the season so the medical isnt worth the parchment its printed on

I heard he just wanted to break Kent Fulham's dismal messaging spree, so was eager to force it through asap

Gives Fulham the chance to look for any preexisting or chronic conditions which might put a kibosh on the deal. Good for all parties to know now instead of waiting till the summer. As for the potential of an injury between now and this summer...I would imagine there are various contingencies built into the agreement.

I hope the contingency being if he gets a long-term injury between now and when the window opens we can cancel the deal.

Delighted with this. Still annoyed PSV didn't just do this in Jan as we could do with Ricardo really.

But hey, great to have him tied up. Hope he has a screamer or a world cup...but only once he's 100% confirmed of course.

[Nero]

Siliva must be leaving as he wont be able to moan about not getting early signings

At the risk of sounding stupid...How is this possible given there isn't a transfer window open?

Clubs are allowed to sign pre-agreements for a transfer that would only see the official registration of the player transferred to the buying club, on the first day of the window. It does happen from time to time although usually clubs wait to see what offers come along during a window when there's more activity and potential offers flying about.

Players also can have a medical it seems, they just can't be registered to play for another club until the window is officially open.

So, does this count as a Winter Transfer?  Because I read here the FFC can't do transfers until the last day or so of a window, so this must just be a super-later winter transfer, right?

We'd have to rethink how we approached the transfer thread.. don't normally make our first signing until page 180, or is it 300?

Regarding pepi 36m euro is 22.5m pounds at today's exchange rate of 1.6 before the exchange rate was 1.3 so the fee was 27.7m pounds. A possible saving of 5m+ if they pay most of it upfront.

Might need to check those exchange rates Mick.  1.13 to 1.16 perhaps.  Still the THB at 43 is saving me a few shillings in Hua Hin golf courses at the moment.

Good news if true.

Maybe we should go "Double Dutch" and pick up Ayase Ueda at the same time, his stats are outstanding and imagine all those Japanese buying up all the expensive seats in the Riverside.

[Hatch007]

€36m at this morning's rate is £31.1m, give or take a few shekels

[Rambler]

It's good that we started this thread nice and early

[SerbianLad]

You can sign anyone on any day of the year theoretically, but you can't register them, their contract isn't valid until the window begins etc.
