The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[WolverineFFC]

85 - 90 million was about the number MJG had postulated as max outlay for FFP about a month ago when others were saying the club would spend 40 - 50 mill.   

Nope, it was the other way around. But in fairness to MJG our net spend thus far, even with Mitro, is only about £50m and the rest may be pie in the sky. So he may still be right.

Not really interested in getting in to a disagreement, because I believe you and I are of the same opinion as what the club should be doing transfer wise. But on pg 72 of this thread MJG says max of 90, but he thinks they will spend 60. That is what I am referring to.

My Brentford supporting colleague will choke on his liquorice if former Bees favourite Mawson signs for us.

Aleksandar Mitrovic in London finalising his move to Fulham

Aleksandar Mitrovic is in London finalising his move to Fulham, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News reported on Saturday night that the Serbian striker had left the Newcastle training camp in Porto after the two clubs agreed a fee of £22m rising to £27m for the 22-year-old.

Mitrovic will undergo a medical in the next 48 hours.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Craven Cottage.

Mitrovic scored 12 goals in 20 matches while on loan, as the club secured promotion to the Premier League via the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.

Fulham have already completed the signings of Fabri, Maxime Le Marchand, Andre Schurrle and Jean Michael Seri this summer.

He'll be ok if they put a sell on clause in

FULHAM NEAR MAWSON MOVE

Fulham's move for Swansea defender Alfie Mawson is edging closer with talks at an advanced stage, according to Sky sources.

There is agreement on many aspects of the deal and it is hoped the transfer can be finalised in the next 48-72 hours.

Personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

Burnley and West Ham have both held talks with Swansea, but it appears their interest has now cooled.

I have just seen this as well,does anyone know what his fitness situation is. I still find it odd looking on the premier league banner,lol.

I thought that too. It might make sense for it to for capital investment.

Woolly or Hillington, is there any truth in the Tierney rumours? We're 6/1 on SkyBet now, from being nowhere on the odds yesterday

i thought we would spend 60max in line with other clubs.. And tv inflation... Who have gone up recently.
Without selling anyone big, yes 90m I thought would be the max we could spend.

They wont - he was brought from Barnsley NOT Brentford - he left Brentford in 2015 after his contract ran out

[mrmicawbers]

Mawson deal has already been done,according to someone who I know and is an old Poster on here.

We've now drifted to 8/1 with him staying at celtic now 1/6 on so I assume this was fabricated

Talbot was at the Celtic-Rosenborg game. I think he had an eye on Tierney. Original report said that it depended on if Sessegnon was sold, it would be foolish not to plan for that eventuality.

Not everyone that gets linked or scouted signs, doesn't mean that anyone rumored that doesn't sign was fabricated.

[WOSFSC]

Re Tierney. I have seen a fair bit of him playing for Celtic and Scotland and he is a class act. He is the best prospect to come out of Scottish football (Not that hard tbqh) in my 20odd years following football. On par with Andy Robertson. Massive Celtic fan though and is keen to stay. If Celtic fail to reach the champions league (likely) I can see him wanting a move though. Would be a tremendous addition and an upgrade on Targett.

Is Mawson done as some people have suggested?

Mawson getting over injury.
Didn't we get a lad from Portugal last season who was recovering from injury...😵😵😵😵😵

As far as I've been told its done, his old man said it was practically wrapped up friday night. Fulham were negotiating a package with Swansea.
I've heard that he could be having a medical in the morning but that's not from AMs end but a usually reliable source.
You never know in football, someone could come in at the last minute. West Ham came back in & others rumoured but If I had to stick my neck out I reckon he'll be a Fulham player by Tuesday latest

Think we'd be inclined to be a bit more lenient with Mawson than Rafa Soares considering how much we're meant to be paying for him.
