The Official FOF Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2017-18

[Tabby]

I think it looks increasingly obvious we're being played to get Rolan a move to a club in a bigger league. You see this all the time - club tries to sneak in when others don't know he's available, agent says 'hang on, we might get a better deal here', story comes out in press, weeks of delay.... player signs for a PL team.

There has just been the one article hasn't it? Being hesitant can also mean that the agent knows that there are other teams interested. Having two teams offering contracts makes their positions a lot stronger.

Of course, yes. I'm just looking at the similarities with this happening to other clubs in every transfer window. It happens all the time and it always seems to be the transfers that seem to go on for a long time. It's been a couple of weeks since the first Rolan talk happened now isn't it?

The agent knowing other clubs are interested - is that because he's spent the last fortnight making sure there are other clubs?

Maybe I'm just being cynical.

Don't think Rolan will happen. All it takes is one bid from a prem club to see us out of the running. Hope we can get it over the line

[Deeping_white]

Club just tweeted they're about to announce a signing - judging from the cropped photo they included, it's Cisse.

[DevonFFC]

Would love a double bluff and it to be a white player

[fulhamben]

Cisse confirmed CONFIRMED: We are delighted to announce the arrival of Ibrahima Cisse for an undisclosed fee ✍️⚫️⚪️ #WelcomeIbra

Betts is off ins't he? They posted a video today with keepers in and no sign of him. Makes me wonder if based on his lack of clean sheets the stats guy has said he needs to be moved on. Would be a real shame as he's a couple of seasons off being a brilliant keeper. It's basically the Stockdale situation all over again. Just hope we get good money for him as his current deal expires in 2019 and he's young still and I'd say proven at this level.

Surely Button won't be number 1? Must be a more experienced keeper coming in right?

I doubt it was stats based as Button let's in more per game. And yes now way will Button be number 1 this year. He had his shot and was found wanting. Would surprise me if we moved him on too

[Pavel Dempsey]

I believe we will sign a new No1 goalie. Betts cannot pass the ball which is important for Joka`s system and Button wasn`t good enough last season.

[aaronmcguigan]

everybody needs to get looking at the Belgian league for a keeper or two.

[spikey norman]

We are interested in PSG midfielder Christopher Nkunku

[Deeping_white]

Vincent Enyeama has been told he has no future at Lille, it's unrealistic but he'd be a top signing.

I'm so sick of Hudds: Mounie, Malone, Ince and now Jorgensen...

Their only source of scouting must be this thread. Sky sources can announce their next target is Craig Kline

I'd be more worried f I was a Huddersfield fan. I didn't make any comments on it as I don't like putting players down but Malone as a full back in the premiership is absolutely crazy. He will be so targeted. I'd be surprised if he played more than 6 or 7 games.

[Nero]

So are Huddersfield just going to buy everyone we're linked with?

Think Kilne and Talbot must me doing a job share with Huddersfield

[twang]

Another central defender being linked: William Rémy, 26. According to L'Equipe, Montpellier's recent signing of Johan Djourou could pave the way for Rémy to Fulham.

Middlesbrough have signed Jonny Howson and Cyrus Christie. Two great players for this division.  But promotion quality ?

Derby fans are over the moon they've got rid of Christie. Apparently he was 3rd choice.

[westcliff white]

looks like Brentford's Jota is off to the prem, not playing in a friendly and 4 prem clubs interested. Fee will reportedly be around 8 million
