The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[Mince n Tatties]

Apparently were watching Aberdeen centre back Scott McKenna at Burnley tomorrow evening, we watched  him in first leg last week.
Funny thing is Swansea are looking at him as a replacement for Mawson....Strange goings on😵

GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 1-2 CELTA VIGO (Austin 50)

Southampton pull one back with a nice header from Austin. Targett sends in the cross with his right foot and Austin nods in from the edge of  the six-yard box to prompt the first cheers of the night inside St Mary's.

21:02
GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 2-2 CELTA VIGO (Armstrong, 60)

The new boy completes the comeback! Targett is the architect once again, playing a diagonal ball low into the area and Armstrong strikes first time with his right foot. Lovely stuff.

His reward? To be immediately substituted by Mark Hughes before the game restarts!

Chris Smalling off to Wolves.

Hmmm like us, they are building an outfit also, to ensure their stay in the top flight is not a short one.

Jefferson Lerma to Bournemouth for £27 million !!!

Revenue from gates has been made relatively less significant and become a much smaller proportion of income by the skyrocketing TV revenues.

Bournemouth will "only" likely earn (at a guess based on an average ticket costing say £40) around £15m less than us in gates than us this season (actually closer to £10m factoring in our reduced capacity), which is the price of one fairly average Premier League FB these days.

There own generated income from matchday and Sponsorship is about £12M and their TV money is £124M (All figures for 2016-17 season.
Wages were.
I would expect us this year to get back to Matchday income of £12M-14M plus sponosrship income.

Reckon the difference will be even less than that to be honest, can't be bothered to check the accounts but I don't think our total revenue from gate receipts even added up to £15m last time we were in the Premier league

It was £12M matchday income

If this Mawson deal doesn't happen, who else should we be looking at for CB?

it's dragging on Mawson.

[keithh]

I'm going back to bed - sure way to miss something I hope.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I hope all is well with the Alfie Mawson signing.
But if there is a spanner in the works for one reason or another.
Then Chelsea's Kurt Zouma could be an option.
But let's wait and see.

There's a couple on here who have the inside track. Perhaps they could have a word with their sources re Maswon

I havent posted anything on here or TIFF re Mawson for a couple of days basically down to the fact I dont know whats happening.
My Mawson family contact is away on holiday so Im pretty much in the dark. All I know he was booked in for a medical 9am tuedsay morning. A couple of people on TIFF seem to think its all done, hopefully they're right.
One thing that I think is fairly evident to all of us is it seems there may be an issue with the medical .Cant think of any reason why it would take this long to confirm. This stuff about personal terms I dont buy because I had it  he was happy with what he was being offered by Fulham on friday, also not quite sure about this 15m because I know Burnley had an offer well in excess of that accepted.
Maybe Fulham getting some specialists involved regarding the knee? I dont think anyone else has tried to hijack it although I see Everton are bombing Ashley Wiliams out. Mawson wants to come to London but a big club like Everton might give him something to think about.
My gut says its all done but if we've heard nothing by early afternoon I reckon that could mean its off.
Be gutted it is off for a number of reasons, one being I might have to swap a week in Sri Lanka watching the cricket to a few days in Butlins

Thanks for taking your time to respond

[sarnian]

There has been no comment from Swansea. I would have thought they would have responded to the story if they were not selling him

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It's good to hear from someone who actually has some valid information, although it is understood that even that is not difinitive.

It is good to see your name on a post, as the information can then be distinguished from the many guessers and the occasional fantasist who, for reasons known only to themselves word their posts in a way that suggests knowledge that doesn't, in fact, exist.
