In response to someone asking about us bidding for Forestieri, @SkySportsLyall said; No. And #FulhamFC were never really in for Jota. Never approached #BrentfordFC for him.

And that's it folks. Happy or not with the window.

I'm delighted

It's okish, but we could do with another centre Back, if injuries, loss of form, the odd suspense  disrupt, that's one position that could be our Achilles heal.
That and Forestieri would put a smile on my face while I sleep tonight.

Can someone do the ins for this window - loans vs purchases.

I have 6 loans - kalas, soares, norwood, ojo, piazon, graham.
And 5 permanents - djalo, cisse, fonte, kamara, mollo

Apart from Fonte the loans are so much better. This time in a year regardless if we go up we'll be a threadbare terrible squad again

That's it Fulham have closed for the night as has me. Off to watch Alice in Wonderland. Well it will remind me of all the vanity signings we were never really going to get. Underwhelming but could be worse.

How will our manager feel I wonder. No defender and one forward. No improvement really for him to work with.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

How do you know that's it for the night?

Some loans may turn out permanent, especially if promoted!

Think this window has been alright tbh, the cover for midfield was critical for me. and a couple forwards to.

I normally do, but I have the night off tonight, so I stayed awake due to the imminent signing of that tall Basingstoke centre back whose name escapes me.

LOL Woolly

I remember now DaveW, it's Robert Atkinson. He has impressed on trial for the u23s

If this is it...

I know squad players are important but it's 2 first 11 players out.. one (Fonte) in.
I was there, standing in the Putney end

Terms being agreed for Rob Atkinson with Basingstoke Town, reportedly. Another Chris Smalling?!

2 forwards, and more wing options

Don't wish to speak too soon - however, selling one of our best players of last season for 7.5m and then with all the exciting talk last night..  I assumed some sort of statement signing was on the cards for sure.

To finish up with a loan and a free agent would be a bit of a cruel joke,

doesn't exactly scream "back the manager" especially as he didn't seem up for seeing Aluko go.  There's still time...

And if Mollo/Graham end up contributing more than Aluko? Surely a good deal? Give it time.

If Madl stays, I think we are OK in defence. Would've liked another striker as not sure AK47 is ready as yet, and if Fonte gets injured we're probably going to have to play one of the wingers up top.

Happy overall with the window and the squad though, better than this time last year.
