The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[HV71]

In response to your request for some info Holders - Mawson is a very good prospect . He is 24 and has played for England u 21 s. He may not yet be the finished article but he has good potential . He is a Londoner and according to press reports he would like to return to the capital. Last year he played in the Premier League and was virtually an ever present in the Swansea side that was relegated. A Swansea fan friend of mine says he was terrific for them and had a very good season - he also said that he has a terrific attitude and maturity for one so relatively young. Southgate had him in his squad for the friendliest prior to the World Cup - but he did not feature.
It is widely reported that Sean Dyche wants him at Burnley - which for me is testimony that he would be a good purchase and potentially a great investment.

Playing alongside Ream I think he would be a great fit (but I'm not Joka )

Thank you. So, an improvement on Targett except that he hasn't played in our system? If he's a Londoner I can see that he might prefer us over Burnley. 

Apologies Holders  I failed to point out that he is a right footed centre back

I'm a little disappointed if Schurrle's only a season loan with no option. But I guess it just means we'll need to reassess that position next season, or they expect Kamara to develop into a first choice for that position this year

We've been assessing and reassessing loans for 4 years in the championship. There's stricter limits in the prem but we can do it with higher quality players.
If we survive, who knows the quality that's available in 12 months. If we struggle, what's the chances of a sell on value increasing ? Smart move I think

My error. We need both positions anyway.

Am I alone in thinking Mitro not going to happen.
Regardless of world cup and holidays, think it might of happened by now.😵

is anyone honestly that fussed? We clearly have money to buy a decent striker, and I personally don't see him as a 20mil striker. And I can't really see him taking the prem by storm either

we need to be careful what we wish for. mitro is unproven at premier league level. i want us to to sign him, but if it does not happen and we have a decent alternative i wont lose sleep over it.

So you are happy with Fonte? 20m for a striker is the basic rate these days. I know it sounds like madness but have a look at the valuations on players this season .

I am fussed, but I'm pretty assured that he'll sign for us.

basic rate in England maybe.

now linked with a RB I haven't seen mentioned before - Kevin Malcuit of Lille

[Bracken White]

My thinking is we are wrangling with Newcastle as we know they need the money. Mitrovic is liked by our Manager, knows our system & likes the club. We're only £2M away if reports are correct - think he'll be an A1 acquistion & certainly hope it will happen. Playing alongside Schurrle would give us a more potent edge that arguably we need. As regards Mawson, surely he's a CB - bringing in Targett as an out & out LB would surely enhance.

👍👍 My thoughts exactly. They have very few clubs (none apart from us I think) looking to buy him and need to sell to buy so I think we are bargaining with Newcastle for a lower price than they would otherwise accept.

Sheyi Ojo to Forest 10 million bid? Games going daft.

Says he was an attacker converted to fullback - sounds just our type!

Agree with you mince, getting worried
Totally disagree with you fulhamben!

He gets back from holiday today - the club shop has apparently kept scarfs with his name on today - although old stock and rafa benitez said not only does he get back now but he needs to have a chat with Mitro and figure out what's best and once decided and act quickly as it does seem his purse strings are heavily tied and tend he has to sell before he can bring in.

For what it's worth  £20m for a 23 yr old with his talent/ability/knowledge of the club and style of play strikes me as a good investment. Especially if we have Schürrle, Sessegnon, Seri and Cairney feeding him balls.

I'd like to see us bring in willian jose too though as well as bringing in two pacey and quality wing backs.

I'd be delighted if the Kevin Mbabu transfer happened. Just watched his highlights on Youtube for Young Boys and he's got the speed of Freddo, but seemingly more end product, albeit in a poor league.

Btw, i discovered that googling 'Young Boys' can be a bit dodgy  :022:

I'm fussed.  It's not his overall quality. It's his particular skill set.  It just works for our team.  What he did to the better teams in the Championship, he can do to more than half the premier league without stepping up his performance from last year.

[wheelerdeeler]

On Malcuit, Lille are pretty much selling everyone they can because of having serious financial problems. Would think he'd be 10m at the absolute maximum.
