🌞Summer Silly Season Transfer thread 2026

[AJW48361]

I for one certainly don't want Andersen to leave. The bedrock of our defence and the latest in a long line from J Dempsey, Mathewson, Lacy, Brown, Coleman, Hangeland etc. None of them, except possibly Coleman, blessed with pace but all solid reliable CB.

Hangeland was a much better player than Anderson IMO.

Anderson looked like a carthorse last season.

Lacy?! He exasperated Moore and Mullery

I liked Ernest Howe never fulfilled he's potential.

Brede come to Fulham raw,Hodgson made him the player he become also having Hughes's behind him a great help (Top Combination)

In out in out and shake it all about

Same guy now saying Trabzonspor have now accepted our offer

FFN also reporting it get's done today
https://x.com/FulhamTransfer/status/2080617781553254430?s=20

If so - somehow bang in line with the seemingly regular time we seem to make our first new signing (24th-26th July)

EDIT* FFN saying he means the deal agreed obviously not the full transfer (which will presumably require a medical etc) So now I think about it, whats the likelihood even if we agree the deal with club today that the player is able to fly out have his medical and move house before Monday?

Suppose if we got him on a plane tomorrow to UK he could do his medical at the weekend and move into somewhere temporary and join the team soon as he's able to

I don't doubt that FFN may hear bits and pieces, but I struggle to see much evidence that he's got any genuine inside knowledge on most things he tweets about.

What stands out to me is that he rarely breaks stories himself. Most of the time he follows existing rumours and adds cryptic updates that make it sound like he has inside information. The problem for me is that the updates are often so open ended that they're almost impossible to prove wrong.

For example, you'll get one tweet saying he expects a deal to get done because Fulham are optimistic. Then, a little later, there'll be another saying Fulham could still walk away if their conditions aren't met. Both statements can be true during negotiations, but together they cover almost every eventual outcome.

* The player signs: "We said all along Fulham were optimistic."
* The deal collapses: "We told you Fulham could still walk away."
* Fulham move on to another target: "The club decided to pursue other options."
* Nothing happens for days or weeks: "Talks are still ongoing."

That's why I find it difficult to judge the reliability of the information. There never seems to be a point where you can clearly say, "That was wrong," because every possible scenario has already been accounted for in previous updates.

That's why, to me, it feels much more engagement driven reporting.

FFN broke the interest in Nwaiwu back in June. He also broke that Bissouma was training at MP & that Fulham want Palacios from Real Madrid, McNally to York he was first too.

There are things he says that I question but I've no doubt he has info from somewhere that does bare fruit. I think his issue is he's so desperate to keep the fan base upto date that he says every update he hears, even if it's insignificant.

I think he's the closest thing Fulham have to an ITK but I think sometimes his love for the club sees him jump the gun.

Remember going to school reading the morning paper Paul Went gone to Portsmouth for £155.000 broke my Heart. The Club was squint at the time if I recall we sold Steve Earle the week before.

I think he knows the same stuff but the difference is JK is credited Journalist whereas FFN is just a fan like you & me. He can release what he hears & if it's wrong it doesn't really matter. JK has to be more cautious

It definitely stands to reason that a good 99% of updates are meaningless. Even the more trusted outlets can contradict each other.

Peter Rutzler and journalists from the standard like Dom Smith seem pretty good. I keep my eye on rumours etc, but found it far nicer taking it all with a pinch of salt until there's a meaningful update.

None of us need to know umpteen stories about delays due to payment structures.

No he isn't in any way shape or form, he's an information gatherer, he follows over 4,000 accounts constantly looking for information on Fulham,
He has never on one single occasion "broken " a story about Fulham before it has appeared elsewhere on X
He doesn't even attend games.
I've got nothing against the kid but I do object when he starts using terms like "I've been told" " I'm hearing " etc because that is total B.S

Suppose if we got him on a plane tomorrow to UK he could do his medical at the weekend and move into somewhere temporary and join the team soon as he's able to

I don't doubt that FFN may hear bits and pieces, but I struggle to see much evidence that he's got any genuine inside knowledge on most things he tweets about.

What stands out to me is that he rarely breaks stories himself. Most of the time he follows existing rumours and adds cryptic updates that make it sound like he has inside information. The problem for me is that the updates are often so open ended that they're almost impossible to prove wrong.

For example, you'll get one tweet saying he expects a deal to get done because Fulham are optimistic. Then, a little later, there'll be another saying Fulham could still walk away if their conditions aren't met. Both statements can be true during negotiations, but together they cover almost every eventual outcome.

* The player signs: "We said all along Fulham were optimistic."
* The deal collapses: "We told you Fulham could still walk away."
* Fulham move on to another target: "The club decided to pursue other options."
* Nothing happens for days or weeks: "Talks are still ongoing."

That's why I find it difficult to judge the reliability of the information. There never seems to be a point where you can clearly say, "That was wrong," because every possible scenario has already been accounted for in previous updates.

That's why, to me, it feels much more engagement driven reporting.

FFN broke the interest in Nwaiwu back in June. He also broke that Bissouma was training at MP & that Fulham want Palacios from Real Madrid, McNally to York he was first too.

There are things he says that I question but I've no doubt he has info from somewhere that does bare fruit. I think his issue is he's so desperate to keep the fan base upto date that he says every update he hears, even if it's insignificant.

I think he's the closest thing Fulham have to an ITK but I think sometimes his love for the club sees him jump the gun.

No he isn't in any way shape or form, he's an information gatherer, he follows over 4,000 accounts constantly looking for information on Fulham,
He has never on one single occasion "broken " a story about Fulham before it has appeared elsewhere on X
He doesn't even attend games.
I've got nothing against the kid but I do object when he starts using terms like "I've been told" " I'm hearing " etc because that is total B.S

have to agree to disagree. Don't remember anyone else saying Bissouma was training or the Palacios was a target.

I don't read much into what is said on social media but I think the guy does a decent job all things considered.

As for not good to games I haven't been to many last season or the season before due to financial difficulties & other priorities but it doesn't make me any less of a fan or any less passionate.

Some gossip!

Never understand what is meant by "preparing to make an offer".
Looking for a stamp?
Searching for Real Madrid's email address?
Necking back a few beers to get the nerve to make an offer you know you can't really afford?
