The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[DevonFFC]

Fulham are closing in on a deal to sign Timothy Fosu-Mensah from Manchester United, according to Sky sources.

Weird one

I hope not

Why not?

Because I was never overally impressed when I watched the few games on sky and after seeing reviews from Crystal Palace fans they didn't seem too fussed by him last season. Must admit I'm going off fans comments so will have to reserve judgement.
Finally I don't like taking youngsters and being used as a training camp for other prem clubs who have all these youngsters on loan

So what are we expecting to be announced in the next hour? Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Andre-Frank Anguissa and Luciano Vietto?

Those three, yes. Get them over the line and I think we have good cover all over the pitch.

Just when I thought TK couldn't be more of a legend 👋

Wonder who we went for instead? Mensah? Montoya not better? Or is there someone else we don't know about?

Some transfer fees from BBC:

Fulham are set to sign Marseille midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa in a £22.3m deal and have signed Bristol City left-back Joe Bryan for £6m and Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico on loan.

Funny how the fees sometimes vary so much - some media outlets reporting Anguissa for £30m and BBC £22m

Was a brief rumour of Almamy Touré of Monaco turning us down.

[Bracken White]

Golly gosh!!

Would it be fair Anguissa may not be announced today as we don't have photos of him in kit as we did the deal in France?

With Anguissa and Vietto I think we'll have reached our maximum quota of non home grown players (above the age of 21). This includes players like Djalo and Cisse but could still be a reason for choosing Fosu-Mensah instead.

Sergio Rico
Fabri
Ream
Odoi
Le Marchand
Djalo
(Anguissa)
Cisse
Johansen
Schürrle
Mitrovic
Kamara
(Vietto)
Ayite
Kebano
Fonte

That's the 17 allowed. I might have missed someone that should be included or included someone that shouldn't though.

We can still loan out some players to teams in the EFL so maybe they might venture off to get some experience

Wouldn't have thought so - we have announced players before with no immediate photos of them, usually deadline day deals

Apparently our medical team went out there..... maybe they packed a shirt

Then, of course... there's always photoshop.

If we get villa in the cup

Pretty sure the medical team would have had the foresight to take a kit with them just in case

As far as I understand it we can still sell or loan out to non English clubs, just closed for buying. I could of course be wrong.

thats correct, providing their windows are still open. they are all over the place. think france shuts in a few days, and others in another 3 weeks.
