The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

According to the Brighton Argus, Brighton are closing in on sighning David button ands it's very close to being deal done

Is anyone questioning their motives here? They are literally stockpiling useless keepers. Jason Steele and David Button. Either that or they have supreme confidence in Mat Ryan not getting injured

Hmm, David Button useless? That's harsh.

Button is not a bad keeper, distribution wise he's liable to make more mistakes than Betts because he doesn't dominate and talk to his defense where as Betts cumminicates better.

Was not realistic as his release clause is more than 3x what we've ever paid for a transfer fee. A sign we've lacked ambition for a long time and hopefully that will change.

Spending 35m on Seri was always a pipe dream as far as I'm concerned. Nice to get excited about it, but it was never going to happen when we need to fill so many holes in the squad.

[MrFFC]

Seri is never happening for Fulham he is a quality player who will join a top team. Realistic additions for me are ones like Mitrovic & Cavaleiro who would improve us a lot.

if they get 35million, Nice will definitely get excited

[SuffolkWhite]

I think we have to be real here, if we spend 100 million on the squad we will not spend 30M on any one player. We have to be clever and risk money on potential, thats how it is. Just reality. Still looking forward to next season with a White Wall against the the Palace. COYW

BBC are mentioning us tho...

Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri has been spotted in London with Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham all interested in signing the 26-year-old Ivorian. (Star)

[Lighthouse]

Seri is not a centre half or a forward or a right sided midfielder is he? In which case why are we even entertaining the idea we would pay that amount for him?

We need depth in midfield and one way of getting that is to buy better starters.

Every memeber of the squad could be upgraded at present, yes we have stars who will retain their place within the team but we need to keep upgrading when and where we can

Yes we do but we also need to put in players where we have none in a particular position. So paying a huge amount for a player in a position that may well need upgrading but has good cover. Is less of a priority than the gaping holes we have in at least three positions at the moment. Ideally we will do both.

Well we have no cover in this position either. Once Johansen, Cairney or McD are injured who comes in? Cisse, O'Riley, DLT or Edun, that's who... we need more and if it bumps McD or Johansen to sub then thats only a benefit. The bench this year needs to be made up of last years starters.

Also Joka has illuded to that we might be able to play how we did last season so may want to look to switch formations. I think the premier league is only getting stronger and stronger and unfortunately with the squad we have and yh way we played last season we could well be in for a shock when we get picked apart on the pitch.
Im just happy to go up and if we go back down then I wouldn't be annoyed as far more enjoyable league to watch

[hovewhite]

Premier league will be tough and it will be a struggle to win 10 games I've no doubt about that.Also a slow start will compound it even more.
The championship was great and won't be unhappy if we drop back down.
