The Silly Season - FOF's Summer Transfer Thread 2011

Cabaye to Newcastle confirmed, 5 year deal

[Mr Fulham]

Barton and Nolan are apparently available for transfer.

[Lighthouse]

Newcastle have just bought a midfielder, Cabaye from Lille. Is he a Nolan type player?

Gera has a knee injury so may not be going anywhere

Guddy could be going to Swansea and not us.

[elgreenio]

N'Zogbia supposedly having a medical at Arsenal. Cabaye is a very technical player, as opposed to Nolans box to box hassling qualities.

But he's also a CM/OM starter.

Sky Sports sources understand that Newcastle have turned down a 'derisory' offer from West Ham for Kevin Nolan

Can't see us signing him. He wants a five-year-deal. And Fulham only hands four-year-contracts.

The bid was 3m - is Big Sam a crack junkie? :dead horse:

you what now?


Kevin Gameiro pulling a U-turn on Laurent Blancs recommendation and looking to sign for PSG instead of Valencia (Blanc says he'll have a better chance of going to the Euros if he's playing in France)

[Mr Fulham]

Nolan wants to leave Newcastle. He had a bitter quarrel with Pardew and owner Mike Ashley.
I can see him going to West Ham though.

WBA interested in former Fulham target Ola Toivonen.

QPR in talks with former Italy international Nicola Legrottaglie.

Alan Pardew set to complete a bosman deal for Demba Ba. He's also interested in PSG striker Mevlut and AS Saint Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

[elgreenio]

Matuidi also one of those thats linked to Arsenal every time a window comes round. Lille general director has confirmed Arsenal are in talks over Gervinho.

Manchester City signed 16-year-old Karim Rekik from Feyenoord, they're probably fuming after the fuss they kicked up about Ake to Chelsea.

[Mr Fulham]

Arsenal are weighing up a bid for Adam Johnson.
City have reached an agreement with Udinese for Alexis Sanchez.
Nasri will stay at Arsenal.
Tottenham and Arsenal interested in Christopher Samba.
Sunderland interested in Craig Gardner (could do a job for Fulham tbh!)
Fabregas "very likely" to move to Barca this summer.

I'm awaiting confirmation or negation on a few Fulham targets, I will keep you updated.

btw: West Ham demand 7-8m for Scotty Parker. Arsenal and Tottenham interested.

Thanks Mr. Fulham! Always appreciate your updates.

Anyone else think Scott parker would be worth splashing  out 7 mill for?

Can't see Arsenal buying him but would be sweet to beat Spurs to him.

[elgreenio]

J.Boateng from Citeh to Bayern almost done. He's agreed a 4 year deal, just waiting for the teams to agree a fee, which Boateng says Citeh are making difficult.

Cesc wont be going anywhere this summer

[Mr Fulham]

Scott Carson set to move to Bursaspor...fee between 1-1.5m.

[FC Silver Fox]

Its really a question of whether that role is a priority for us. We already have the gïnger Iniesta who can get from box to box. We have a number of attacking midfield options already (Demps, Davies, Gera and Duffer). Etuhu and Greening are good at ball recovery in midfield and we've seen Jesus getting forward well in the last few games too.
No, I think our money would be better spent elsewhere.  This is nothing to do with the undoubtable quality of Parker himself.

Let alone that Parker would never consider us because there'll be bigger clubs sniffing around.


btw: Did you know that DJ Campbell is Hammersmith-born? Was quite surprised to hear that. Could be a "+" for us methinks.

[Mr Fulham]

Demba Ba to Newcastle

/e:

Charlie Adam's transfer to LFC has hit an impasse: Blackpool are demanding £10m but Dalglish is refusing to pay a penny less than £22m

:005:

Well said, no doubt Parker would be a great player for almost every team in our league I would rather us spend the bulk of our money on a quality forward or two. As Mr Fulham said as well he wouldn't come to us.

If Parker is worth 7 million though then Nolan is worth about 2 million and JenARSE about 700,000.

Chris Eagles is looking like he'll go to Everton.

It looks like Moyes is on a tight budget again but Eagles would be a good acquisition as well as Bothroyd on a free.
