The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[SerbKnight]

We need to get some height into the team as well. It was no coincidence that we conceded a large amount of goals from set pieces/corners last season.

Fabri doesn't look like a keeper that comes out to collect crosses with bodies everywhere due to his height.

[Spirit of 2000]

I think we're likely to sign another holding midfielder and temporarily use KMac at CB until Mawson fit.

[General]

Random side note but the new dugout and Fulham seats look pretty cushy.

That solution would not fill me with optimism for our chances.

[FulhamKC]

I bet we get Kalas on deadline day.

I bet we get Kalas on deadline day.

I would take Kalas as cover
Would slot in and not need time to learn the system and the players

We win at Wembley to go up. We keep Sess and TC. We add a keeper and three top tier players (Mawson, Seri & Shurrie). We add a versatile defender. Get Mitro back. Some of the youngsters have shown increased ability. We tie KMac down and constant rumors of additional activity by the back room staff to improve the team even more. All this fueled by shrewd investment from Khan yet we still have the groundless, *'nattering nabobs of negativity' worrying even before a ball is kicked.

Gotta love Fulham fans. LOL  :beer:

"Alfie Mawson's a great signing, but won't be ready for the start of the season. He must wait another three weeks, and then he'll start working with us. I don't think he'll be available to help us until September."

My view them is we need another starting RCB now !

And the LB we are clearly chasing
And a DM

Pleased with transfer business?
Transfer business is definitely not done. I don't complain but definitely we need more additions. We need back ups in some positions. I lost a defensive line from last season. I lost Ryan Fredericks, I lost Kalas, Denis Odoi is suspended, Matt Targett is not here. Only Tim Ream is in the squad. Le Marchand has come from Nice, he is part of the team we have tried in the few days ahead of us.


Matt Targett someone you are looking at?
I mention Targett, I mention Fredericks, I mention Kalas. We try in the market and definitely we must move and try to get someone who can help us be more solid and be more competitive at this level.

In the end it is like in Formula 1 race, we arrive last we need some extra petrol and some extra players if we are going to play against Premier League teams. It is not Championship team or Championship competition and we must show serious face and we must ready for the main business.

How many more transfers?
I imagine many players in the defensive line. I have brought only one. At the end somebody needs to help. Four for the back somebody needs to help Kevin McDonald and somebody needs to help Mitrovic too. At the end you have the opportunity to check and watch the game and you have some klind of opinion about the squad. We still have time ahead of us, we must fast.

I completely agree. But I think the club may find it hard to sign a top quality RCB now that everyone knows he will probably just be covering for Mawson for 3 weeks...

He seems pretty confident about it at least.

We could do with those four in an ideal world. I hope we can get them, because switching round other players to cover vacant positions is a recipe for disaster.
No round pegs in square holes. It rarely works and compounds the situation.
The Premier League will be unforgiving and we will get punished.
This is no way to commence the new season.
I hope the recruitment/Negotiating team have their Quill Pens ready for players to sign on the dotted line.
Let's hope they can stay awake long enough, as the next 5 days are crucial, because there are serious deficiencies across the defence. We look very decent going forward, but once we lose that ball, then I feel anything can happen.

[HV71]

Building a team isn't like making 'angel delight' or 'instant whip' ! It takes time . The club has done incredibly well to date to bring in the players they have but Joka is right that he needs more. However , even if he does get them it will still take a while to make the team a unit. Also I read on the forum criticism of Fabri and Andre. Yes they have to improve but again give them time. Remember when de Gea first came to Man U - he clearly was nervous and certainly not the great keeper he has turned out to be.
Please have some patience - no matter how difficult it won't all be over by late October- it may be grim but don't give up hope. The manager is a real pro and I believe the Board are now also at the races
In Joka I trust !!! COYW !!!!

I think we need a rb even more. First two games aside, we will have MLM, Ream and Odoi at cb and when Mawson recovers we will have a backup for both cbs. On rb we, imo don't have a premier league quality player(with all due respect to Christie). For me our priorities should be in this order: lb, rb, dm, st, cb, lb, number ten. First four are a must for me, and the last two is me just being greedy. As for the cb it is somewhere in the middle of those two.

Sounds like he wants an entire back line and DM and Striker.

That'd round off this window fantastically. Glad he's a fan of Mawson.

[Denver Fulham]

LB and DM are absolutely mandatory, and we probably need a RB/RCB type to provide a challenge to Christie and cover across the back. Another striker would be fourth on my list, but that wouldn't go wanting, either.

The good thing is media reports have footed with what Jokanovic went in on today, so I assume everyone's in agreement on at least 2-3 of those needs.
