The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[MikeCdawg]

I can't see anything about vietto. Anyone any solid links?

[DevonFFC]

Less than half an hour to go and Fulham still have five irons in the fire - remember, deadline can go to 7pm if they get a deal sheet in - we could be here a while!

[elgreenio]

just seen that Atletico have signed Kalinic as well, just to add fuel to the Vietto fire.

I imagine we'll have to wait a few more hours for announcements on anything anyway

[MikeCdawg]

Personally I'm more excited about the signing of fosu mensah than the deal for chambers. Hopefully Fulham get this wrapped up.

Really!

Really. Did you watch any of arsenal last season? Chambers is suspect at best. Fosu mensah can play in 3 positions big and strong and is only 20 years old and a full international. Has great potential.

Chambers did better for Boro than Mensah did for Palace. Potential doesn't matter much when it is a loan.

When was that 3 years ago? And how better by getting relegated with Boro?...fosu mensah had a few injuries last year that's why he didn't rack up more appearances.

I hope they're not all loans, or at least loans with an option to buy

Rico is just a loan, not sure about Fosu Mensah, Vietto is a loan to perm, Bryan and Anguissa are perms

How sure are you that Vietto is loan to perm? Where did you hear that?

Vietto's goal on 2 minutes 30 secs is ridiculous. Shows his class.

Call that a lob ...

[Jamie88]

Bristol City have just signed a left back, Jay Dasilva from Chelsea, so Bryan must be done

[Lighthouse]

Ok if we get a 'Deal Sheet' lodged in time 5PM we have until 7 PM tonight to finalise everything.

let's see if Vietto will be loan to perm, rather than just loan
Fosu mensah will be loan

if all that happens it will be 5 on loan. that's a lot.

we used loan system to great effect last season

It was two seasons ago. Keep in mind that Collins John got two caps for Netherlands, when they were a much better side than they are now.

Fosu Mensah was outperformed by Joel Ward.

[DevonFFC]

Fosu Mensah might not be a loan deal, fee Man U fans are led to believe its Permanent

[Slaphead in Qatar]

fosu mensa was no where in the rumours - just shows that sometimes deals come out of the blue

[hovewhite]

Loans as well as permanent signings  must help FFP wise also!

[sunburywhite]

Bristol City have landed Jay DaSilva. Frees up Joe Bryan to move?

[Rambler]

Even if nothing comes through, this deadline day has been super exciting - some really good names we've been linked witg

[therealjaybee]

Personally reckon all the deals are done. The clubs offal twitter account are totally ******* with everyone which you wouldn't be doing unless you were about to announce a bundle of signings! They've been tweeting out pants stuff all afternoon!

[Jamie88]

Anyone else feeling like Anguissa isn't happening? Would be thrilled if we pull this one off - seen quite a bit of him and he is a quality player. Unfortunately my gut feeling is it's not going to happen for some reason

I'm not saying fosu mensah is a world beater by any means. I think he has potential and is versatile. Plus mourinho loves getting rid of raw talent before they flourish. I just think chambers was a shambles last season except for toward the end. But yet again so was the whole arsenal team.

What make you say this? It was one of the one who was first reported this morning

No idea, possibly as I want it to happen so feel like it won't! Ha

Plus, what with the other deals being spoken of at this time of day it seems to have gone a tad quiet with him
