The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[Jamie88]

BBC are reporting the Anguissa deal now.

Don't think they are. Just says we are set to sign him when I looked

[General]

Next slavisa signs extension at end of day. That would be phenomenal.

[FulhamPHX]

This last couple of weeks has been absolutely incredible. Amazing to see the commitment the Khans are making to our club.  Solidifying the back line and fielding one of the top midfields in the EPL with a strong, proven no. 9 makes me incredibly optimistic for the coming season.  I think we have to be Top 10 favorites off potential alone, hopefully the majority of the new faces settle and slot in nicely.  I can't wait to see how this season plays out, will be a joy to watch us back in the Prem.

[Jamie88]

Can someone please explain to me how we can sign all these players on loan when the rules in the PL handbook says:

"not more than two Temporary Transfers shall be registered by a Club at the same time"

and also:

"the maximum number of Temporary Transfers to any one Club registrable in the same Season shall be four"

Someone said that this only applies for loans from other PL clubs but I can't find anything about that in the rules.

This is why I reckon Fosu Mensah has to be permanent or doesn't happen

This is where everyone got the two loans from. It specifically mentions "Find out how Premier League clubs are limited in the number of players they can bring in on loan from English clubs"

Nowhere does it mention overseas clubs.

well - if he doesnt sign an extension now then i'm not sure what else he is looking for from a club

[AllyWhite]

watching skysports live on youtube. Liam Rosenior referring to Fulham as "we". Said "we've also signed 2 talents from France"

Isn't he meant to be club ambassador for Brighton now?

Yes he is that's why I'm surprised. The moment the interviewer mentioned "Fulham", a smile came up on his face.

Ah you're right. Still, looking promising.

Loans between Premier Leage clubs and other English counterparts are officially called temporary transfers.

Under the rules in the Premier League Handbook 2017/18 (Download PDF, size: 46.1MB), there are restrictions on how many players Premier League clubs can loan from other Premier League/English clubs.

They are:
- Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club

With the exception of Welsh clubs competing in the competitions listed under Rule V.6.2, loans from a club in membership of another National Association do not count towards the above quotas.

That has been up there all afternoon. Latest from the BBC was 'awaiting confirmation that the deal was in time.'

I love the fact that Fulham are the first promoted club to pay over 100 million in transfers. Widely mentioned across everywhere. Except they are not. Not unless we actually have out big sining who is lost in the wind confirmed

That is across the whole window isn't it? So Mitro, Seri, Fabri etc are to be included.

[Huxley]

@BilelGhazi a journalist @lequipe says all paperwork was done before deadline. Also Spam tried to hijack the deal.

[cookieg]

Am hearing that Fonsu Mensa loan signing will be confirmed shortly.

I am expecting some really 'clever' announcement on the website for him!! 😋😋👍⚽  Smart move?

Mensa - very intelligent signing.

My understanding is:
Chambers is the only loan so far from an English based team, Mensah will fill our quota of two 'home-loans'. Continental loans do not count

Jordan Ayew now officially gone to Palace on loan.

They've joined the bad pun bandwagon with the Ayewready hashtag.

Nowhere does it mention overseas clubs.

But I'm talking about the actual rules in the PL handbook. As far as I can tell the rules specify maximum 2 loans at a time and maximum 4 per season without mentioning English clubs specifically. Which would suggest to me that it applies to loans from ALL clubs. I haven't read all 616 pages though...

Is there really NO limit to the number of overseas loans???
