The Official FOF Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2017-18

[SG]

Selling Ryan for £30m next season will pay for his replacement and leave some spare cash

The link below contains some new information on Rafa Soares. According to it, he will travel to England this Saturday morning to undergo a medical and the loan deal will have a purchase option at a whopping €15m (£13,7m).

Credit where it's due - if this is his worth on the transfer market, the Club have done blindingly well to set this up. Despite that we've got threads running this week in which the O.P. is critical of how the squad is shaping up, surely no one on here can have anything to complain about in this instance, can they?

No matter what the circumstances, some people will say the sky is falling down and Khan is ruining the team due to lack of investment

Apparently the Express are saying we are trying to take Musa on loan from Leicester. He cost them £18 mil and scored a truck load of goals in Russia.

That seems like a load of tosh. We have already invested in strikers and wingers this window.

I wouldn't mind him here, but I don't think we have the funds or need. Would be better invested in defence.

Porto are having ffp problems which why the wolves and soares stuff is happening

Actually not to much tosh, several championship clubs have enquired as he is apparently available on loan. He can play up front oe wide with his speed as well.

Not saying we are one of those clubs but several have

Would be inclined to let Aluko leave based on today and the attitude he's allegedly taken towards getting a new contract. There's no point having a winger who can't hit the broad side of a barn door in a system whereby the wingers are expected to contribute

We looked a pale imitation of the team that reached the play offs last season.
But I am confused as to why the manager started players who were clearly not match fit.
Also what is the point of signing 6 new players, and only starting one of them, and he was the last one signed.

The incredibly slow time Sone took to go off today looked like he may have been making a statement.

Hmmm there could be something in that. This issue may have gone past the point of no return, I wouldn't like to see him leave, however, it may turn out to be the best thing alround. But not what we really wanted at this stage of proceedings, but the manager needs to start working overtime to turn this around, and Fortress Cottage it ain't.

The header he missed was criminal..

Yes your right, it seemed easier to score, and for a professional footballer that miss as you say was criminal.

Aluko was p1ss poor today.

ive just seen that missed header and another close range effort form another corner in the first half, both were terrible, shocking misses.

Some stuff labelled at Martin last year after his January issues could be labelled at Aluko there. Absolutely shocking, maybe he is trying to get away or prove a contract point but even so they were terrible misses that any pro should be putting away, maybe one could miss but both is terrible

Pointed this out watching him at Leeds. Sulking about and waving his arms. Drop him and sell him. I don't rate him as highly as some here and though I didn't see the game it sounds like he proved my views correct

[SP]

The Sun claiming Boro will offer £2m for Tim Ream.  Surely not letting him go, he's now our most reliable CB?

I'm the same as you rating him wise,never seems the same player second season with the clubs he been at.

[Mince n Tatties]

Soares on his way apparently, medical tomorrow.

[OMalleyCat]

Speaking of Soares, was he at the game yesterday?

Hope not. He may not want to join us after seeing that
