The 2016 Official Silly Summer Season Transfer Thread

Multi mentioned below with Jazz Richards going other way. More than likely as nobody seems to rate Malone at all.

[H4usuallysitting]

So we're not getting an upgrade then

[Northern Cottager]

Crap for crap. Ace.

[Lighthouse]

Malone is over six foot. We haven't really had a left back for some time. Richards will go when we get this other right back we have been hanging on for. At least that is the gossip.

[Chesh]

Depressing thing is, we can't wait to get rid of JR, and they can't wait to get rid of Malone. Seems like we're both getting the thin end of the wedge. Surely Malone can't be worse than Jazz though - can he?

[Woolly Mammoth]

We will no doubt end up with a full back worse than both of them. Which reminds me, where is Stephen Kelly these days ?

Once Denis Odoi & Kevin McDonald are confirmed, we are already halfway through our target of 10 new signings for the 1st team.

Surely you mean if they are confirmed. According to Belgian press the Odoi deal was done last week, but we have not said anything maybe we are waiting to see if other targets come to fruition or we are having second thoughts. McDonald is apparently talking to clubs, only teams with rumoured confirmed bids are us and Sheff Wed. So that's a hard one for the lad to choose form.

Odoi delay is because of paper work serious people say.

Could be the case, the trusted belge papers reported on Friday &Saturday that it was a done deal and would be announced on Monday. So it is possible that paper work of some kind could be the problem, although I guess it wont be work permit related so has to be contractual or paperwork registering with UEFA/FIFA being the issue

Or maybe everyone's just being difficult because no one knows if we count as Europe anymore...

Denis Odoi confirmed he is coming to Fulham.

[Horsfield_No9]

Would love this one to come off. French Under 20 striker with a good scoring record already. 8 in 16 for Auxerre most recently. Come on Fulham! Ready made Dembele replacement.

Denis Odoi confirmed he is coming to Fulham.

panning into a really interesting season for me. Building a team  of players that I've never heard of, which gives me the out look of optimism that they might be great as opposed to the meh stance that I took on average champ signings last year

[FulhamStu]

Boderov told he will not play, Amorebieta not playing again today as per last game, even though he has been in Ireland.  Interesting that Burgess was also ignored.  This all suggests to me that we have a central defender lined up somewhere.   I would love us to sign McDonald however he messed us about last summer and seems to be doing the same again, I have a feeling he is somewhat difficult to manage although this may not be true, however we should not spend too much time on him as once bitten etc.  Wonder if Delaney is still a possibility with the supposed offer for the Hendrick it would suggest we are in for a strong central midfield player however maybe Faulin will take that roll after all central midfield is not exactely our weakest area.

This is something the club need to strive toward as well - looking for players between 18 and 24 - whom we can help step up the ladder. Good for both parties.

Of course, I have no idea what Fulham have attempted over the years but, over the last 5-6 seasons at least we have never really recruited many players in this age group - outside of loans. I'd say we've done quite well when we've given it a go with Chris Smalling and Moussa Dembele. I'm certain there have been other attempts that did not work out quite so well, if at all, but these two would make the effort appear worthwhile. In my estimation, there's more certainty to profit from players in this age group that with older signings or, as evidenced with Hyndman and Dembele this season, academy players. None of this is meant to say that we shouldn't focus in all areas of recruiting, only that we seem to have under-emphasized this "early 20's" age group.
