The Official FOF Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2017-18

If the rumours about Ross being disruptive(which I don't believe) are true,then Forestieri is 10 times worse,he just chinned one of their players..
Is that what you want?

not many cared when baird chinned one of our own

Well if that's what you want in a troublemaker that's your prerogative.

never said I did, just saying no one cared at all when baird did it

I might have done,I just never let on...lol

Don't rate him anyhow.

How can you not rate him? Been one of the best players in the league 3 seasons in a row and regarded by most Wednesday fans as one of the best players they've seen play for Wednesday.

we're 11/10 favourites to sign Forestieri... Anyone know if there's anything to this?

Nothing concrete, except a link from HITC, who aren't the most reliable of sources. I can't see that this has been posted on here yet.

Fulham have replaced Brighton & Hove Albion as favourites to sign Sheffield Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri with bookmakers Sky Bet.

Just last week Brighton emerged as odds-on favourites for the Owls star's signature, with no other club occupying shorter odds than 18/1.

But the Seagulls have since drifted to 3/1, with Fulham ahead of them at 11/10.

Neither club have been formally linked with a move for Forestieri this summer, although the recent movement in the market could signify an imminent approach.

Top scorer in each of his two seasons at Sheffield Wednesday, Forestieri has not started a league match since the campaign's opening day and missed two altogether owning to an internal suspension, imposed following an alleged bust-up with teammate Sam Winnall.

And with the Football League's financial fair play regulations severely impacting the Owls' remaining transfer plans, it is possible the Hillsborough side could entertain offers for the Argentina-born player.

Having said that, they would perhaps be loathe to selling Forestieri to a direct rival such as Fulham. Although, having played under Cottagers boss Slavisa Jokanovic at Watford, the 27-year-old may be keen on the idea of a move to Craven Cottage.

Burnley were linked with Waris yesterday. Cannot see them going for both. Perhaps they could still be linked with Rolan??

They retain a mild interest in Rolan and Waris.

Speaking of Rolan, Bordeaux's President has said he's signing a new deal with them before going to Malaga on loan with an obligation to buy. Thus we see the end of the saga.

yes, from GetReading

"We're always looking for players who can make us better.

"Oliveira is a great striker - he can be a big asset for us. And it's the same for Aluko.

"He is the type of player I think can make the squad better and give us something different. But it's not up to me."

why, we would then relegate rui to the bench, and kamara to the reserves. Can think of more pressing areas to improve upon

fonte / kamara / forestieri all can play wide as well as central, i'd see it as a replacement for aluko

maybe they can all play wide, doesn't mean that they would be the best option to do just that. And I've seen nothing to suggest that kamara or rui could be anywhere near as effective out wide as Kebano sess Ayité aluko and ojo are.

Forestieri would effectively be Aluko's replacement. He played on the Left and Right when Slavisa was at Watford. Would think Fonte would be the #9 and then we'd have Ayite, Kebano, Ojo and Sess when Soares is fit for Wingers.

Would bet my house on it not happening though.
