The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[HobGoblin]

Agree, Not sure where this love in of wolves comes from, they sign Portuguese players, hit and miss in PL. We add a quality left back and some decent cover to the excellent signings we've made so far then we will do as well as them imo, if not better. As has been said we bossed them last time we played, they looked very ordinary then.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Wolves are a decent outfit, but that's as far as it goes.
We have bigger guns in important key positions.
Come the commencement of the season, I feel we will be in an even stronger position.
As has already been said, if their manager was to leave, and with some of the Portuguese players he has brought in, I am not sure that is going to work short or long term.

Edun gone to Ipswich, season loan.

[LVBPTS]

Ipswich have signed Fulhams Tayo Eden on a season long loan.

[Texas White]

Their shopping has made ours look pathetic in comparison and I thought we had done well.  They are genuine top 6 candidates.

disagree; lots of money does not necessarily make a successful team

THEO CAN GO
Real Madrid star Theo Hernandez wanted by Fulham in shock season-long loan deal
The Premier League new boys have been busy this summer on their return to the top flight and still want new additions before the window shuts

FULHAM are plotting a loan move for Real Madrid defender Theo Hernandez.

The Cottagers have offered the La Liga giants £1.75million to take the left-back to West London.

The Premier League new boys faced competition for the 20-year-old from Real Sociedad but looked to have moved ahead of the Basque side by offering to pay his wages in full.

Sociedad can't afford his wages, believed to be around £40,000-a-wee-week, and want Madrid to pay half of his salary.

Marseille-born Hernandez moved across town from Atletico Madrid on a six-year deal last year.

Hernandez made 23 appearances for Los Blancos under former boss Zinedine Zidane.

And after featuring the International Champions Cup defeat to Manchester United, new coach Julen Lopetegui deems the youngster as surplus to requirements.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic is looking to add to his squad before the deadline
If the deal does not go through, Fulham have lined up Eintracht Frankfurt defender Jetro Willems as an alternative.

Willems, 24, moved to Germany from PSV Eindhoven for £6m last year and made 28 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.

Both options outstanding.

Why don't we return to Wilmar Barrios. Apparently he has release clause of £13.5 million. Then our midfield trio could be Barrios-Cairney-Seri with McDonald as cover for both dm and cb.

I hope not. He's the idiot who should have been red carded for his head butt to Jordan Henderson's jaw.

Well, you could also argue that if the ref was awarding the red in one hand, he should have awarded an Oscar with the other!

[Ordar]

Has anyone seen Willems or Hernandez play? Who's better? What are they like compared to Targett and the other left backs we've been linked to?

Also, what happened to Hector Herrera? I thought that signing was close aswell?

Willems and Hernandez are both attacking full backs, and units. Think Christie, they're both similar.

Burnley have agreed a deal for Ben Gibson for 15 mil from Boro.

Makes our deal for Mawson at a similar price look great

I suspect that Mawson didn't fancy black pudding and hot pot on a regular basis

Any Real Madrid fan ive seen on twitter have said Hernandez is useless

R Madrid fans do have pretty high expectations though.

Hernandez is practically the same player as his brother(although, obviously of a bit lower quality) and Willems was PSV Eindhovens brightest talent, he is strong and fast and still only 24. I would prefer Willems, because I think he is a better player and we could probably buy him, unlike Hernandez who would come on loan.

Think hes agreed to stay at Boca until January

A lot of PSV fans say that Willems is prone to making silly defensive mistakes, but is great at going forward and crossing the ball
