The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

News in East Anglia suggests that Bristol City have agreed a fee for Adam Webster (of Ipswich). Webster would have been a good signing imo, but potentially means Flint is close to agreeing a deal elsewhere.

Flints gone to Boro.

Did we miss out on Tadic from Southampton?? Only around £10m Mark and he seems to link up well with Mitrovic.

It's confirmed he is going to Ajax in Holland!

To me he's like a better version of Cairney when he played right wing. Really he's more of a numner 10. Good player but not pacy and also a bit inconsistent.

If Bristol City are buying him then he's isn't good enough. We aren't in the championship anymore.

QPR eye deal for Derby striker Martin

QPR are set to make an approach for Derby County striker Chris Martin.

Martin, 29, previously played for the Rams under Steve McClaren, who is keen to be reunited with him at Loftus Road. The Suffolk-born Scotland international is under contract at Pride Park until 2020 but has been out of the first-team picture there for some time. He spent the 2016-17 season in west London, on loan at Fulham, where he scored 10 goals in 21 Championship appearances.
With McClaren having returned to Derby for a second spell as manager, he and Martin wanted to scrap the player's season-long loan midway through the campaign, but Fulham refused.

Derby sacked McClaren in March last year and Martin remained out of favour at the East Midlands club. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Reading, where he started just four matches. Martin began his career at Norwich and had spells on loan at Luton, Crystal Palace and Swindon before moving to Derby in 2013.

Sky are saying 18m. Far too much IMO

Wonder if we've looked at Brentfords Chris Mepham?. Bees mate he knows his stuff said hes a fantastic prospect & is being looked at by several premier league clubs.
Apparently got a bit of everything, 6ft 3" pacy & very accomplished on the ball. Brentford want around 12-15m which is a lot for a 20 year old  defender in his first season but could turn out to be a bargain if he continues to improve

[Hugh Gentry]

I think this is typical Colin, average players at mid-range money, which will see them get beaten more often than not http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5892163/Cardiff-City-edge-closer-signing-Bobby-Reid-make-offer-9m-trump-West-Brom.html

Ive touted his name pteviously, Bournemouth are keen on him , great prospect and recently broke in to the Wales side,
His only negative is the fact that he is a big QPR fan .

True. Though, he is young isn't he? Had a bit of a breakthrough season.

[Mince n Tatties]

Alex Smithies to Cardiff(bit hard on Neil Etheridge who was excellent for them last season)
David Stockdale Birmingham to Leeds.

[Mince n Tatties]

According to talkadoodle Fulham are desperate to land Cavaleiro,and will go back with a higher bid.
Would love this to happen, but I don't think it will.

Can't believe someone said Tadic is a better version than Cairney....Anyway, hes struggled at saints with consistency albeit with a decent assist ratio, hes turning 30 this year and costs in excess of 15m. I think its ok to say we didn't miss out on much there. Don't get me wrong, I really rate him but hes definitely a luxury player who frustrated Saints fans overall.

They said he was a better version of Cairney when he played on the right wing. Cairney wasn't very good out there.

Oh....my bad! Never skim read in the morning!

I think our priority should still be signing a proven premiership CB to play with Ream. I think a bit of premiership experience at the back would be a huge asset for us this season.

[LVBPTS]

cardiff are building one hell of a team for when they get relegated again to the championship. forward planning there

It was me and no offence taken. Point I was making is he's not what we need for right wing.

[Deuce]

I see a lot of people questoning the Cavaleiro-deal, but is it really that far fetched?

Wolves have already signed portugals number 1 in Rui Patricio (a player we probably would never be able to sign this summer) so im guessing Wolves will be looking to improve their team further and aiming already quite high, maybe as high up the table that they dont even consider themselves to be our rivals and not expecitng a relegation battle.

Lets face it, trying to sign another promoted teams key player is generally a no-go, because why strenghten another rival and at the same time weaken yourself? But despite this, Fulham seem to have picked something up here. Why else be so insistent? Perhaps its come to Fulhams attention that Wolves are looking for bigger names, looking to spend big and therefore know that they'll soon replace Cavaleiro with a better player?

If he's average for the premier league, that's a bargain and only the loftiest clubs don't need average premier league players.  He way above average for the Championship, very impressive and could not understand why he was used from the bench so often.  There are some players who, when warming up, show how ridiculously comfortable with a football they are.  Odoi is one and this guy is another.
