The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[Pavel Dempsey]

So, Mr. Mammoth, just to recap: Fabri has signed, Mitro is still up in the air but is reputedly back today, Schurrle is having a medical; who are the other two you mentioned you'd tell us about after 48 hours? Just positions would be interesting.

Must be a CB and a DL. I bet on Mawson or David Lopez and Targett or Augustinsson.

We're bookies favourites to sign Mawson now

According to Bild, Schürrle will join on a two-year loan deal without an option to buy.

If we get Schurrle for €11m, that would be unbelievably good business

Hasn't he only got 2 years left on his deal? That wouldn't really make sense to me? Why would they do a loan rather than sell

[OMalleyCat]

Vida is being mentioned, apparently a bid was turned down. It's all happening now

We're either paying a decent loan fee or all of his wages (allegedly on over £100k a week at Dortmund)  so that when his contract expires we can sign him on a free if that's true

EDIT; His contract expires in 2021 so he'd be entering the last year of his deal, so I'd assume we'd get him for a cut price or negotiate it into a permanent deal prior to that if we wanted. It being a loan means we can spend money elsewhere and with it being a two year thing means we keep him for longer which financially is quite clever.

[General]

Apparently his agent Ingo Haspel has confirmed he's currently undergoing a medical.

Dannyboi - don't suppose you're in the bushes around Motspur Park Al la Fabri again?

[Ordar]

Apparently he still has a house here from his time at Chelsea, so that makes things a lot easier for him

SOURCE?! Sorry for getting over-excited but will be massive if true.

[bucksfulham]

Would love to see Mawson at Fulham, is there any truth to those rumours?

He's now odds on favourite to join Fulham

Yes not saying he'll definitely sign but was 25-1 to sign on sunday night now 9-2 second favourite to a club he doesnt really want to go to

[jelmo]

Dont really know much about Mawson... Would this be a big coup then?

[mrmicawbers]

Mawson evens now

[Barrett487]

I'd be delighted if the Kevin Mbabu transfer happened. Just watched his highlights on Youtube for Young Boys and he's got the speed of Freddo, but seemingly more end product, albeit in a poor league.

Btw, i discovered that googling 'Young Boys' can be a bit dodgy  :022:

Look at sky bet, now gone 5/6 on

[Holders]

I havn't followed the PL for 4 years - is Mawson that good then? I see he's a good age.

Fabian Schar would be a terrific addition in defence for Fulham

Fulham fans are hoping that a few more new faces join the team this summer in order to make sure they're ready for the big challenge of surviving in the Premier League.

Having completed all that hard work to reach the Premier League, spending money on players who would be able to keep them there is a very sensible plan.

Having already splashed the cash on Nice duo Jean Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand, Fulham should swiftly move onto pursuing another defender in the form of Fabian Schar, who is valued at £2.7 million on Transfermarkt.

During his debut season in Spain and with Deportivo La Coruna last season, Schar made 25 appearances, in which surprisingly he contributed greatly in attack in scoring two goals and setting up two as well.

The Switzerland international was also on show during his country's World Cup adventure, where the 26-year-old and his teammates crashed out in the round of 16, losing 1-0 to Sweden.

Apart from that disappointment though, Schar stood firm in defence, doing his very best to keep their dream alive, and in the process seemingly attracted interest from fellow Premier League side Newcastle.

At 26, Schar still has many years ahead of him to make a difference in this exciting Fulham team, and be the difference between relegation and Premier League prosperity.

He is an experienced defender that likes a tackle, isn't scared of flying in, and has a reasonable amount of pace to help keep the opposition at bay – thus, he could transform the Cottagers' backline.

As such, those attributes alone should make Fulham consider a move for the Swiss defender, in what would be a terrific addition to Jokanovic's backline.

Fulham is probably borrowing Schürrle

"Sky England" has reported that André Schürrle is on his way to Fulham to complete the compulsory medical check-up on Wednesday. According to kicker research, this information applies. The World Champion was released by Borussia Dortmund to look for a new club. He now seems to have found this in the Premier League - again in London, where he was already between 2013 and 2015 at Chelsea under contract. FC Fulham should probably borrow him first. Schürrle runs since July 2016 for the BVB and came for the Black and Yellow 33 times in the Bundesliga used (three goals, ten assists).

[Sherlock]

Wolves have accepted a bid from Leeds for Barry Douglas. Pretty shocked to be honest, he was great for Wolves last season (4 goals, 14 assists, great set-pieces and crosses from LB) I would certainly take him at Fulham considering the fee must be ~£5m

[Woolly Mammoth]

So, Mr. Mammoth, just to recap: Fabri has signed, Mitro is still up in the air but is reputedly back today, Schurrle is having a medical; who are the other two you mentioned you'd tell us about after 48 hours? Just positions would be interesting.

Must be a CB and a DL. I bet on Mawson or David Lopez and Targett or Augustinsson.

I would say LB and RCB and possibly as a bonus another midfielder. Two out of those three, or eventually all three depending how the negotiations advance I expect.
