The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[The Rock]

Daily Star reporting Everton and possibly Wolves are interested in signing Danny Rose.
If those two can go for him so should we even though he won't be cheap.
Proven Prem quality player and England international.
I would have him over any of those other left back players we have been linked eith.
Imagine him and Ryan down that left side.

Yes, a no brainer. I have been thinking that all along. He must be too old.

The Sun is claiming that Celtic are 'monitoring' Man. City centre-back Jason Denayer's situation.

Boyata to us not necessarily 'dead in the water' - despite Brendan Rogers' comment?

[Denver Fulham]

If we don't bring in a defensive mid considerably better than McDonald, a lot of the good work we've done will be wasted because we'll get steamrolled in the center of the pitch. I expect both that and a LB before 5pm Thursday, as well as a good chance of some loan for another striker.

[Holders]

A backup striker would be nice but I don't feel is all that critical. I think AK47 is going to blossom this year and could fill in for Mitro. Learning how to muscle a defender shouldn't be that hard for him, given his size. He already has the pace and nose for goal. I like Fonte, just not as a footballer. I don't see him making a contribution this season.

Don't see AK playing that role in the same way Mitro does. Joka's words a few days ago: "After Mitrovic? That player doesn't exist. We can improvise - it wouldn't be the first time for me - but if you're improvising in the Premier League the price can be expensive."

In a nutshell.

[LVBPTS]

Fulham have offered £8m for Hugo Mallo, the Celta Vigo right-back (The Times)

[Ordar]

We need a starting LB and DM. Everything else is fine until January then we can reassess.

Kamara, Fonte and Schurrle can cover Mitro if necessary.

[RaySmith]

We've done incredibly well to bring in the players we have, in so short a time - Khan has been prepared to spend big, but there is a limit to the number of players we an get in before the season starts.

But a lb, hopefully Targett would  be great, though, even essential, otherwise it'll probably be Marchand - not his usual position, and in a league he has no experience of,  or Sess, playing there.

But it just may not be possible to get someone in in time - but I believe the club  has been trying hard re a number of players.

Even if we don´t manage to sign a LB or back up DM I still think the Club has had a fantastic window. Probably the best we have ever had. My thanks go to the Khans & the recruitment team for what they have done. Nothing is perfect in this World & signing players is a nightmare. We will never really know what goes on in negotiations but the recruitment team know more than any of us mortal fans. Leave it to them & just enjoy the ride where ever it takes us.

For me if we we get a left back and that's it then great and with that LB It would be the best window I can remember.well done anyway to all involved from shad for funding it down.
We have made a statement of intent!

[Holders]

Not being cynical, but if I bought a PL club,saw it relegated and worked hard to get it back I'd want to see it stay there. If that's a statement of intent or just businesslike I don't really care.

My only problem with this is that a Left Back was priority. It allows Sess to play in an advanced position and to me a failure at left back means problems in two positions. I would have happily not paid out for the keeper or a wide player if we had a good left back. Mind you I never enjoy the ride. When the whistle goes to start the game I want it to be over as at least we have a draw. Bit like life really. Anyway we need a left back.

Every-time I see this thread bumped to the top of the page I click on it expecting to see a transfer rumour....

I don't understand why stating bringing in a DM is important because if KMac gets injured or has a drop in form or can't make the jump from championship to EPL seems to be such a controversial point. Even Slav has stated he needs help in that area of his squad to help KMac out. Writing him off is wrong but thats not the point the vast majority of people here so lets not side track a decent discussion on squad depth to writing off players. Thats really not the point.

You can think as you like whether its a fantastic window or not and I'm not far behind you in thinking that too.
I can accept the late arrival of players but  LB has been a priority from the moment we walked off the pitch at Wembley and he ain't arrived yet.

Lumping those who are concerned about certain aspects of the recruitment and are reasoned debaters with the odd moaner into one group is something you regularly do when generally all your comments are based on assumptions  like everyone else.

You never seem to debate or prove your point, in fact your positivity is generally based on telling others how negative they are.

[Riverside]

Are we all writing Le Marchand off as a LB ?

Clearly he struggled as a RCB but he was not bought for that . He played there because of Mawsons injury and Odois suspension .

I think he could play LB - one of the 2 positions he was bought to cover ( the other being LEFT CB )
Odoi would be cover after his suspension
And Sess plays up front

So I think we are OK

However naturally I would like to be better than OK and if we can sign someone better - eg Rose - I would be delighted .

apparently (rumour rag) we have gone back for Targett at £14m

[hovewhite]

Seri can play K Macs role so there is cover plus cisse.

Just not according to Slav then who I'd argue, knows best.
