The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[wheelerdeeler]

One thing I would say; I know it's hard as supporters when we don't hear anything, but the story literally broke and we signed Schürrle within 24 hours so that shows that the club are doing stuff in the background so patience is required to a certain extent. It's also interesting to hear him say that we've been after him for weeks so again that shows we've had feelers out for players we want for a while.

It's almost like the Khan's know what they're doing.

Crazy. A self made billionaire not being awful at his job. Who'd have thunk it...

Raphael Honigstein said we got the jump on everyone with Seri on 5Live tonight as well, so it's not like we're incapable of getting things done quickly either.

Guy on Talk Sport just said Seri's got a heart problem, insinuating that's why 'bigger' teams didn't get him. First I've heard of this.

First I've heard of a heart problem. He has the thing where he struggles a bit in cold weather, but then I was reading that apparently Nice were able to manage it with medication so...

So, the implication is our famous/infamous medical missed this? Or that we ignored the finding and signed him to a long term, high wage deal? Sounds like excuse making to me.

Linked with Mitro's Serbian teammate Adem Ljajic

Wow a midfield with Cairney, Seri and Ljajic as options would be dreamland.

Jokanovic definitely not planning to park the bus. Ljajic is very skilful midfielder.

Struggles in the cold?
He's lucky Hartlepool didn't sign him then or worse still Ross County.😵

Just asked my Serbian friend what is his preferred position and he said it is like this ss, lw, am, rw, st, cm and that he played even as a dm in some games in youth ranks but that he is rubbish there.

P. S. Ljajic transfer to Fulham is all over Serbian, Italian and English press.

Looks like Fulham not going to pay Burnleys asking price for Alfie Mawson, Burnley back in as favourites with the bookies again

Or they saw it and thought it was an easily manageable problem
Don't know many medically trained guys on TalkSh!te

The Serbian friend told me that it is all over Serbian media that we are getting him for 15 milion €

[Tabby]

Seems strange, might be wanting to play Seri as a holding midfielder with Cairney and a box to box Ljajic? I think Ljajic would be the natural replacement to Johansen out of anyone there.

A bit worrying that we are still reinforcing our best part of the team if true, but I'm not privy to the transfer plans of the team, so hopefully my worries are unfounded.

Sky sports news:

Newcastle have agreed a deal with Mainz to sign striker Yoshinori Muto for £9.5m, according to Sky sources.

The 25-year-old Japanese striker is currently on a flight from Germany to Newcastle after they agreed a fee with Mainz.

Muto player for Japan in the World Cup in Russia



Looks like Mitro is imminent

[bornafulhamfan]

United close to signing Maguire. Maybe we still have a chance to buy Smalling?
