The Official FOF Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2017-18

[AlexW132]

rumour is  cardiff looking for a deal around the 12 million mark

12 million pounds is a lot of money for a player who has been good for half a season.

Patrick Roberts, Nathan Ake, Aaron Mooy, Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane, Christian Atsu, Jonathan Kodjia, Scott Hogan

All bought for silly money by silly clubs on the basis of one of 2 good years

It's the going rate and a growing trend

2 years I think is fine, but anything less and you're taking a big risk.

Asamoah Gyan, who we *ahem* almost signed last year has gone to Kayserispor.

Steve Mounié confirmed for Huddersfield

Going rate was always 10m plus. They signed him for reported 11m. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40503864

Guessing this was a pie in the sky offer by our club who need to look at ambitious but realistic signings.
Or a leak by the selling club faking our interest to raise the price

GWL saying Malone to complete Huddersfield move in next 24 hours

Probably not a popular opinion, but as someone else said, we we bring in another striker, i'd love to see Cameron Jerome as a squad backup/competition for first spot. Strong, relatively quick, can finish when in form. Really think he'd fit our team well and would be a decent alternative and if hitting form, an asset for a team that create plenty of chances. Having said that, I'd still like more options, not just him.

[Riversider]

Not interested in Cameron Jerome at all , would much rather we went for either Charlie Austin or Danny Ings on a season long loan.

Wouldn't we all but we have to be realistic....

[howitis]

Cant see us getting anything north of £1.5/£2m.

Can´t see Malone in any pics from Poland. Looks a gonner.

Not Bettinelli either. Or have I missed him?

Shame that Malone is going but this must mean Sess is now 1st choice so it will be fine. Don't want us anywhere near Jerome. Don't like the lack of links that we have going on a month away from the start of the season without a striker. Don't see Kalas joining unfortunately

[westcliff white]

if we are to believe the Jerome rumour he has 34 goals in his last 81 championship games

Malone has passed his medical at Huddersfield, and will be announced in the next 24 hours. Expected value is 3.5M, plus addons. Bettinelli has been told not to expect to be No.1 next season, as Slav wants an experienced keeper, and has handed in a transfer request.

16  and 18 in  his last two Championship seasons. Struggled in the Prem but this is his level. Would be a welcomed addition for me.

agree struggled in the prem, but past performance is no guarentee on future performances

So we shouldn't write him off immediately either then?

Someone on another forum saying Bettinelli off to Bristol City with Flint coming our way
