The Official FOF Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2017-18

Some posts on Twitter suggesting Rolan's decided to leave Bordeaux. Including a cryptic Instagram from him.

I guess Newcastle must have followed up on their interest.

I think he said 'Il faut pas oublier' which I think means 'it's not necessary to forget' alongside one of his goals for Bourdeaux. Strange. I'm not sure whether it's a goodbye kind of post or a Wolf of Wall Street style 'I'm not f***ing leaving!' post. I guess we'll see but I would be very surprised if he signs for us.

Yes - could be read either way I think. Which about fits with his attention-seeking posts we've seen so far.

There was a different post from a Bordeaux news site that says something like "We will never forget what you did for the @girondins Diego Rolan, but at some point You have to turn the page".

Who knows? But as you say it's unlikely to be us. Will be nice to have closure though from this saga.

If he does sign for us after all this pissing about, he better be bloody good

Surely we need to forget all about Rolan, I hope the club have written him off and are actively considering making an offer for another striker, one who would like to play for us.

I'd like to think so

We have, they have and the club are

[JoelH5]

Any chance we'd announce something on a Sunday?

[PokerMatt]

No idea.

No way it's us though as he ignored the deadline and we moved on. My guess is a load of Geordies melting down on Monday.

Joka expects some players to come in this week - http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2017/july/22/head-coach-reaction

[PokerMatt]

He's resting players in friendlies because he needs them for the championship... How worrying is that? Players starting the season without any fitness. Ffs.

[Tooting legend]

Where does it say we are signing players this week? Seriously why fabricate a story that clearly isnt there

He says he expects the board to support the team and increase size and says he expects to get support for the players this week. Not sure what else he could mean.

[JoelH5]

He said that it's not been an ideal preseason due to a lack of players so even if we do get everyone we want in now, we've still once again gone about our transfer dealings poorly

Said it on another thread but the fact he doesn't mention transfers could be the fact that the u23 players like S.Sess, Williams, Humphrys will give support and actually allow him to pick a full squad with rotation. Would love it to mean transfers but you can see the ambiguity

[Lighthouse]

I expect the board of the Club are going to bring in some people who are going to support us. In this moment I try and save my more important players to be available for the start of the Championship."


What else could he mean by this other than that he needs players to come in.

FYI Humphrys went off injured today so that's another striker down the swanny

[Mince n Tatties]

Its come to the point that even Slava doesn't know what's going on regarding transfers...

Bristol City now turning their attentions towards Button.
