The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[MrFFC]

Nathaniel Clyne from Liverpool now they have Trent & Gomez for RB?

[Friendsoffulham]

Fulham interested in saints duo, Matt Targett and Soufiane Boufal. With Targett looking likely after the Lilywhites agreed on a £3million transfer fee.

Good Lord. If we got Targett for 3 million, that's a great bit of business.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Yes indeed, Matt Targett now that would be a good buy, without a doubt.
Also a commanding centre back is a must, a real priority.

This guy also has Cairney going to West Ham, Gayle going to QPR and a whole 12 followers on twitter.

My old account was banned for being "fraudulent" I let you know the deal for lichtsteiner to #afc was done 4 days ago. Sokratis all but confirmed.

That tweet is from a fake account so I would take no notice of it.

Sky reporting that Leicester have activated Jonny Evans release clause of just £3.5mill. Had hoped that we'd have gone in for him as think he'd be a really good addition - good attitude, great experience and solid defender. Couldn't have complained at that price either.

[Maidstone Lee]

Bring back Zoltan Gera!!!

We really do red a good centre back - this position along with Mitro and Targett are the most important Doesn't mean we don't need to strengthen elsewhere but the spine of the team is vital

A lot of us have been calling for a class centre back for a long, long while now.
Jocanovic acted on our call for a good striker by signing Mitrocic in January perhaps he will now realise we a right about a centre back.

[Bassey the warrior]

For me the "problem" is the different kind of football we have to play next season ....
There will be more and more of defending football from our team an allot of counter attacks
we need pacy winger and striker (for me Mitro isn`t that kind of player)

Mitro holds the ball up and we need that. My only concern is how many goals he'll get, he's not an amazing finisher as many of the goals weren't from powerful shots. He'll need to improve his shooting technique a bit to beat the likes of De Gea and Ederson, etc.

Seriously?? Some fantastic finishes from him, Sheff Utd, Wolves, Brentford etc, you dont have to break the net

The keepers are better in the PL, but tbh I was just trying to find one downside. It's not easy with Mitro as he was incredible for us, seems the full package.

[simplyfulham]

Not sure why we need to spend money on this position when we bought Christie to be our number 1 right back not so long ago.  Christie to start with Sess's brother as backup for now.  Lets move on and spend elsewhere.

Plus Denis Odio can play there too

And we've got Fossey!! The American sprinter who stared alongside Luca DLT last summer in the US youth side.

[@jolslover]

Tweet is from a fake account however I would be very happy with both Boufal and Targett, Boufal tore Fredericks apart when we played Southampton in the cup, and we know how good Targett is

I feel we need to sign another RB, If we go into the season with Christie and Sess as back up this is IMO not good enough.

BRIGHTON boss Chris Hughton is bidding to sign Fulham keeper David Button in a surprise move.
Hughton wants the former Tottenham starlet as cover and competition for Mat Ryan and hopes to agree a £4million fee this week.

That'd be handy, especially at that price.
Whatever the truth of this may be we need to sort out a little bit of a log-jam of  keepers. All good but none of proven top quality (yet).

Button, a bit older than and perhaps not so good as, Betts, is a good bet to move on.
Norman seems the current established no.3.
But is he better than the returning Rodak? Rotherham would love to have him back - and, as Rotherham are now in the Championship, that might suit us.
Ashby-Hammond was probably the best keeper on view in the recent UEFA u17s and should cement the u23 job for us next season.

Give them Button and get Norwood in return, win win really.

4 million? This really is the silly season.

They're welcome to him for that price.

Also, "starlet" seems to have lost all meaning.

Button to Brighton not beyond the realms of possibility.. but £4m?? We would sell for around £1m I would think, wouldn't we?

Agreed regarding overuse of starlet. Surely it's meaning is "future star"? As in piglet?

Bobby Zamora did it. Fact.
