The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[YankeeJim]

I feel weird about so many new signings. Hopefully last years heros dont get cast aside

Looks like the only ones not being replaced or at least seriously challenged are Sess and Mitro. Even TC will have competition.

have you seen schurrle start anywhere other than in sess position?

If Sess were being benched, the club would have grabbed the money and ran. Schurrle will start on the right.

So going through these and trying to be critical with myself to manage expectations...

Jean Michael Seri:- a lot of industry professionals see his signing as a real coup, his videos look like genuine world class talent with an ability to cover the pitch despite his small stature ability nd an incredible eye for a pass. He's been with the squad aLongside MLM the longest and Nice fans were genuinely disappointed to see him go whilst his reviews from fulham fans who've seen him play sound like he's finding his feet and live up to the hype. An exciting signing by all measures it seems.

Maxim Le Marchand:- came in under the shadow of Seri's signing and has struggled to be viewed by a few fans as anything more than a signing to appease nice. That being said since he's been here he's slowly been given more respect. Has a left foot and seems cultured whilst also has adaptability to play LB although not as smoothly as some would like. Those who've seen him play seem to think he's got more than critics give him credit for and could very well oust ream and become a starting LCB as the season progresses. A season table purchase but long term perhaps better could be found.

Fabricio:- the beginning of the conflict of interest players. Clearly loved by besiktas fans after moving here.. they've even overtaken fulham social media on occasion saying how much they miss him. That said despite the fan fair fans have been left unsure and unconvinced of his ability to control the box. Seems emotional which can be a strength and a weakness. Averaged between 10-15 clean sheets at besiktas but also had Pepe and Vida in front of him. How he'll do I don't know.

Andre schurrle:- seemingly Mr nice guy with evident quality and one of germany's key world cup winning heroes. Has he lost his enthusiasm for football since he reached the top? At borussia dortmund he seemingly lost his way, couple with injuries. That said though when galvanised he showed genuine world class brilliance. Won bundesliga player of the month towards the end of last season for scoring and assisting around 6 goals total in a month. Has all the potential but perhaps needs to feel valued and also commit to fulham project. If he does one suspects knowing the league like he does he could become a key players.  Definitely as the skill.

Mitrovic :- a fan favourite. His exploits last season were arguably the most prolific I can remember in my 20-30 years as a fan. He was on fire and suited our style of play incredibly well. That said at 23 he has played in the premiership and given an average return. Will this season prove it was benitez not valuing him properly that was the reason, his age or the league itself.. something makes me think if he stays fit and booking free he could score a good 10-15 goals, which at his age is a very promising sign.

Mawson:- out injured and part of a team that got relegated. Whilst many don't think that reflects on him as an individual player it's important to note and be wary of. Apparently competition for his signature was fierce which suggests many believe he did very well in a poor team, seemingly a natural leader and part of jokanovics desire to have a strong English contingent at 24 he's got a lot of his career ahead and also scores goals. We need to make sure he comes back fit - that's key. But hopefully he'll slot in nicely.

Chambers:- Mawson CB partner for England through the youth leagues these two know each other extremely well. Many arsenal fans didn't get why they let him go.. most saw him as one of their best CB'S and a player who'd shown a lot of form in preseason. Another around 24 but this time only on loan but with a knack for scoring goals it'll be interesting to see how he fits in.. and if he and Mawson start together what happened with signing MLM and Mensah. A loan.

Where it starts getting confusing.

Sergio Rico:- why? Seems to have split opinion as strongly as marmite, only a loan but Sevilla fans either seem gutted or are celebrating the fact they've got a calamitous keeper off their hands. It's hard to understand why we brought in such a polarising player especially when Bettinelli did so well last season and both new GK's seem to have moments of being liabilities.

Joe bryan:- one of the best LB's in the Championship an ability to bomb up and down but untried in the league. Hoping playing next to Mawson, MLM, Chambers and under slavisas guidance he can make the step up.. but there are no guarantees. A risk considering the level of wings in the league. Hell undoubtedly come straight into the starting 11. So from here and at 6mill it could be inspired.

Luciano Vietto :- another who seemingly splits opinions pretty harshly :- apparently according to the athletico Madrid site with an option to buy we're his third loan club in as many years and he's clearly struggled to establish himself. Does he offer us anything more than Kamara does? Time will tell but at the moment it could very well be a dud signing. Does well on football manager though apparently? Will reserve judgement but not overly expectant he'll do much.

Fosu-Mensah :- left of field and hardly mentioned on here before today. A youth player with promise who played relatively well when on loan last season but a utility player. Khan said he was pursuing other options over Montoya, but can't help but feel as a specialist RB which is presumably where he's been brought into add depth Montoya would've been a better signing? Clearly there's a thought process at the club - perhaps FFP? Either way not expecting to see him too much.

Anguissa :- our marquee deadline signing, at 22 he comes having held down DM role at marseille last season as they got to the final of the europa league only for him to have a bit of a nightmare and be responsible for gifting a goal away. Genuinely liked on the whole by marseille fans but whilst more reputable sources claim the fee to be nearer £22m, marseille fans think they've got better of deal, especially when quoting £30m...

Hard to know how today's signings will fair.. a lot are foreign and seem to have a lot to prove

That said though whilst I'm choosing to be critical I do have to commend the khan's for the work they've done and the ambition they've shown.. not only putting the money in but negotiating deals to bring some potentially world class signings to a newly promoted team. Long may it continue.

[HobGoblin]

Has to be best window we've ever had, credit to the recruitment team, all of them. Can't say we've not exceeded expectations and anyone who sat at their keyboard complaining should be eating some humble pie now. Well done Fulham, COYW

Wow.  Just wow.

2. Fredericks            =   Fosu-Mensah

3. Targett                        =   Bryan

4. Kalas                          =   Mawson

5. Norwood         =   Seri

6. Piazon                        =   Schurrie

7. Ojo            =   Vietto   

8. Mitro                           =   Mitro


RCB & RB "cover"      =   Chambers

LCB & LB "cover"      =   Le Marchand

DM "cover"         =   Anguissa


When "cover" is potentially upgrades on last years starters

[KingofCheese]

To think quite a few of us were panicking as we crept into July without a single signing!

Not me!

Wonder how Fred feels about West Ham after seeing this window?  :005:

They had a pretty decent window too.

Is it time for transfer rumours?????

Of course it is !!!!

If we lose the final it will be dispiriting and if we win so exciting.
Premier League is world class and our recruitment also needs to be.

Currently swinging wildly between, absolute pessimisism and fantastic optimism.

Do not think we are set up to be - score and shut up shop but they might be...... 4-0 by ht would be nice lads.

COYW

Time to wave goodbye..... fully expect to see this thread now sink into oblivion...

Far exceeded the two or three world class players I expected, we will cause some damage when we are welded together.

Good luck boys,work hard for the gaffer and some magic just might happen.

Bye bye thread

Genuinely liked on the whole by marseille fans but whilst more reputable sources claim the fee to be nearer £22m, marseille fans think they've got better of deal, especially when quoting £30m...

That said though whilst I'm choosing to be critical I do have to commend the khan's for the work they've done and the ambition they've shown.. not only putting the money in but negotiating deals to bring some potentially world class signings to a newly promoted team. Long may it continue.

Thanks for this

Don't know if it was actually useful for anyone but helped me.

Very good General.   No player is perfect, well only a very few and as we see on here every day, football fans see things very differently and are extremely bias and sometimes a bit daft !

For me, Slav has now got a squad with great quality, I have been through the squad and think we have at least 3 players for every position.   He can now whittle that down to 2 and move some on for development or completely out.

I think our squad is now worth in excess of £250 million.   No excuses, it could take a little time, but we should all be extremely delighted with this window.  Never perfect, but better than in my wildest dreams.

According to transfermarkt, our squad is worth £200.25 million and we have the 11th most expensive team in the league.
