The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

Personally I find this constant sniping at odoi strange. He was cb in a record breaking undefeated run. Yes he made errors, but good in the air and on the ground. His errors came playing Slavs way. I thought he played really well. But hey ho we all have opinions.

I want to keep Odoi in and around the squad, as someone above says his versatility can mean he turns into our Chris Baird type utility player. With that said, if we start him at Centre-Back against Kane, Aguero, Firmino etc. we'll be absolutely destroyed (not to say we might not anyway). Plus he's always got a mistake in him as we saw against QPR, the Final just to name two. But as depth for RB/LB he's fine, and he'll always have a place in Fulham history for the goal against Derby.

And his little bit of magic off his back against Newcastle a couple of years ago.

Mitro deal is already sorted and will go aheead when he gets back from hols according to "the Mag.co.uk
"

He's back

With a bang !!

Is that your understanding too Woolly Mammoth? You also mentioned three extras on top of expected Mitro and fabri deals.. kby next Monday I believe.. no names.. but what positions and how hopeful/guaranteed are they?

If I was in charge of recruitment, I could reassure you that that would be the case.
Unfortunately it's currently in the hands of others, there is a little Ground to be made on both sides to tie lose ends, nevertheless, if this fails to mature, then I would lose confidence in certain people involved.
But let's not beat ourselves up about it, our patience is being severely tested, but we have to wait , but I will be dissapointing if we have not acquired another five players by next week.

[Woolly Mammoth]

So how long does it take for a medical? Fabri reported as being at Motsour park this morning but still no announcement......

It's that dam cough drop that's holding things up.

[Marcel_Gecov]

Another double announcement perhaps?

[Hoppus]

Malcolm? 🤣

Twitter: 
'Something is going down with Malcolm's transfer to Roma. He was supposed to land in Roma tonight, but Bordeaux have withdrawn authorization for his medical.. Another club involved at last minute?'

Little bit in an article about Liverpool having a jumble sale, apparently we enquired about Mignolet but got put off by them asking for 12m.

Mawson might be back on

Is it true he wants to be back in London over being up north? Also aren't we supposedly a few million off what Swansea want, or are they lowering their demand so they can make a sale to a team he wants to play for?

They want £15m for Ojo, I'd love to know what they're smoking!!!!!

Just filling space as usual. Any old rumour will do.  It was said 10 days ago that Mitro was on holiday until 26th so even if deal has been agreed not likely to be announced before then as wouldn't be at Motspur for photo. With new sponsors club would not show him in an old shirt.

Patience is a virtue

[wheelerdeeler]

No idea what the price would be after the World Cup, but Bournemouth who were supposedly signing Diego Laxalt are signing another Left-Back so presumably he's still be on the market.

He's desperate to return to London, if we are back in then I can only imagine we've upped our offer because as far as I know everything was agreed between Swansea & Burnley. It was just a case of him signing on the dotted line. He met Dyche Saturday & I guess hes hoping Fulham or another southern club come in for him

Fair enough - what do Swansea want and what did we go up to initially?

Mitrovic surplus requirements? Or will we actually sign 2 srikers?

He is surplus to requirements but at the moment I think he is a pawn in the "Newcastle Civil War"

The club want Rafa to sign a new contract and have promised a reported £100m transfer kitty he does - he's stated that he want to remain at the club but so far he has turned down two offers - reportedly he wants investment in the training facilities and academy in addition to the transfer funds.

They are now involved in a war of attrition and it was reported last week that even if they sell players Rafa will not get all of the money to invest in new players and none of the £100m unless he signs on the dotted line.

Newcastle have been publicly for sale for at least two years and are totally dysfunctional, so is it any surprise that this has been going on so long. My main surprise is that Rafa, who is not an also ran in the manager stakes, has put up with it for so long.

In the circumstances it is now time for FFC to inflict some pain and look elsewhere - it is a gamble as to if we need Mitro more than they need our money or is there a fairy godmother who is going to buy him if we drop out

The most important consideration would be if SJ is going to be happy to have Willian Jose or an alternative to Mitro?

If he is happy to have him or an alternative then now is the time to take the gloves off and squeeze Lee Charnley's wedding tackle.

I think we could probably afford two strikers - but does SJ have a playing formation to make good use of them both?

According to bbc this morning we have bid 26 mill for Jose.
