The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[LRCN]

he is only just back in training so almost certainly wont be fit enough to start v palace, expect him on the bench tho.

I do feel a bit concerned that a position we badly need strengthening in will cost so much but the player will still be injured for the start of the season.

Thought that I'd read somewhere that he was already back in training? Or, am I confusing him with another?

I think I read that as well. But in training doesn't mean he is fit yet I suppose.

True enough. Was his injury to do with an MCL problem, out of curiosity. I didn't find much beyond mention of knee surgery and that he'd played through the injury for several months. I'm assuming MCL because, I've seen several NFL players play with that problem and have off season operations. Those repairs don't seem to take near the time to heal as, say, any sort of ACL procedure.

Even IF Mawson is injured or not match ready for say 3 games, I'd still be happy starting that period for stand ins from odoi/ream/marchand

we can see how these guys cope with the premier league - hopefully well - so we will have plenty of options even if mawson is first choice when fit.

Holy smokes! You're alive! Haven't seen you pop up here or on Twitter in an age. Hope you are well.

Odoi is suspended for the first 2 games...

I've seen a few people say this but not sure how Odoi is suspended? Does his red card from Wembley carry over as I'd have thought that it wouldnt as it was last season.

"If a player receives two yellow cards in the same game, he is suspended for the next game only."

FA rules. Full stop I thought as well. If you get 10 yellow's total though it can be a 2 league game suspension and perhaps where this comes from, though I thought the 2 league game rule slate was swiped clean after the end of the season.

Just checked the fa website and he's suspended for 2 games. I always thought that two yellows, resulting in red, was a single game ban.

Why would that be two games? Bizarre if you ask me.

"If a player receives two yellow cards in the same game, he is suspended for the next game only."

FA rules. Full stop I thought as well. I haven't seen anywhere that he would be banned for a special period of 2 games - but perhaps there is some double penalty for Championship playoff matches.

I think it could be because he got sent of at Brentford earlier in the same season. First two yellow cards suspension = 1 game ban. Second two yellow cards suspension = 2 game ban. Not sure though.

[The Baron]

Probably an extra game added because he was previously sent off against Brentford.

[sarnian]

Normally 1 game suspension on reaching 10 yellow cards so imagine the 2 yellow cards at Wembley took him to 15 yellow cards for the season which is an automatic 2 game suspension

[The Rock]

What I meant to type before my computer crashed is:

Potentially, I thought the slate got wiped/swiped clean though as the whole point is the "accruage" to a certain point in time, that being until the end of a season.

Apparently that might not be the case if it is violated by/at the end of the season, the penatly must be honoured...

Alfie Mawson set to undergo a medical at Fulham tomorrow. Fee about £15m. Ready to return to full training after knee op - could be fit for opening day. 
Swansea deals for Celina & McKay close. Nothing imminent with Nmecha by sound of things. Still desperate for a midfielder.

Fulham targeting APOEL Nicosia's Hungarian international winger Roland Sallai

[Barrett487]

Found this in the rules

Two First Team matches plus a fine of £20
If in the final match before the second Sunday of March a Player accumulates his
tenth caution in any Competition since the opening day of the Playing season
and then receives a second caution in the same match and consequently is
dismissed, the Player will be suspended automatically for a period covering
Two First Team Matches plus a fine of £20. This two match suspension will
automatically apply in such cases, instead of the one match automatic
suspension which would otherwise apply to a Player who is sent off for receiving
two cautions in the same match.

It appears no red cards subject to appeal, get wiped clean, under English FA regulations. Whichever the end of the Football Pyramid.

if this is accurate, £15m is a snip!
