The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[DevonFFC]

Simon peach -

Southampton could do with bolstering their squad but it's quiet as the window comes to a close. Financial impact of signing flop Guido Carrillo partly to blame. In terms of outgoings, doesn't sound like Matt Targett or James Ward-Prowse are going anywhere

[We Are Premier League]

Victor Moses being linked with Wolves, how many more can they buy. They are having an amazing window

Not sure i agree, their staring 11 is not much improved from last season

Maybe not but they have tied down Loan players of permanent deals, have options in every position and depth

Targett did well last season but was prone to be caught out at the back post by anything in the air.
Hoping for an upgrade on Targett as left back urgently needed. Not sure we will get one though

Their starting 11 has had as many new additions as ours - quite a few of their signings are players from last season.

The others don't have experience of the premiership. We've strengthened with players who know this league and have done well in it - chambers, Mawson, schurrle etc but are adding to a squad which was by far and away the best team in the second half of the season last year... once we had brought in the key players like targett and mitrovic..

Agree with you but not knowing the premier league doesn't wash with me, plenty of players have come and done it who played in leagues in foreign leagues before coming here.

Not sure if this means anything at all, but the Celtic defender boyata who we suposidly had a bid turned down for, has not been picked in the squad for tonight's champions league qualifier

Of course, but when people say they did 'bits' in the winow it's a good thing to remember that we've arguably improved moreso on what could be argued as a better base team due to the fact in the second half of the season we went 23 games undefeated which is a mark of far superior quality.

Also they signed afobe and then loaned him straight to Stoke.

He hasnt actually played for them at all this season

That was an odd move by them, not sure what the afobe deal was about.
I'm not knocking our window it's far surpassed what I expected and wished for, wolves just seem to have far more depth across the squad which I hope we can add in by the end of the window

Half of Celtic twitter think it's because he's off, and the other half think it's because he's still not considered ready after returning from the World Cup (and that Rogers said he would be considered for the weekend game)

Is he any good? A huge amount of  Celtic fans on twitter said at £9m they would drive him down

According to the Greek press, Olympiakos is interested in getting Fonte on loan.

I will pay for the flight personally!! He is wasting his time with us, not good enough in the Championship and way out of his depth in the PL, if he can make the grade with another club, in whatever country and whatever division then good luck to him!

Need one more Post DAVEW.....Make it memorable!!  :)

(LOL), you have put me on the spot and normally I am not lost for words, on or off a keyboard! I never realised that I had (and now have) reached a posting milestone on here, to ask me to make this 8000th posting a memorable one, sounds like mission impossible. If I couldn't manage one out of 7,999 it isn't going to happen now! What I am going to do is quit this stupid abstaining from alcohol program which I have been on for 17 hours and revert back to normal life and pour myself a (very) large Gordons and Tonic, place it on the bench to come on after I finish this delicious bottle of Sauvignon and then to celebrate the rest of the evening and wait for the news that Mr Targett has signed for us. To all my friends, followers and foes on here, I wish all of us to enjoy a very successful season following FFC. COYW!!
