With Harvey Elliott signing for Liverpool would love us to make a move for Ryan Kent, only 22 , rated at £10 million by Liverpool and is going to be a top drawer player,
Plays out wide, explosive pace, and loves to run at full backs, was outstanding for Rangers last season and would be a real coup if we could get him.

Think he's Wednesday bound.

Who are rumoured to lose Bruce, potentially ruining any transfer plans. We will see...

So lets say Fulham lose out on Konsa and Jannson, how much of a meltdown are we facing.....

Could be epic. Maybe have to extend the contract of MLM to calm people down.  :005:

I never expected us to sign either. They're just not the sort of players we sign these days. As a general rule, if you've heard of them, they ain't coming to Fulham. Whilst Jansson goes to Brentford, TK will be busy arranging to pay twice as much for Anony Mous-Baastard, a 5'2" keeper in the Latvian second division.

Never expected to sign Konsa for the price point he was at (especially when in the Sky report of our interest it said we were trying for him on loan initially). Can't see us spending big amounts on a Centre-Back. Whether it's 3-4m on a permanent signing like a Michael Hector, or just a loan fee.


Statto

Actually thinking through all TK's transfers, I'm not sure we've ever signed anyone who's an important first team player for another club in the same division as us, have we?

Which would rule out Jansson and Konsa

Ross McCormack and TC certainly pre-date TK

Mcdonald is debateable. He was signed after TK came in but we'd been in for him the summer before when Rigg was DoF


Mince n Tatties

Brentford just signed midfielder from Celta Vigo,Hull got 2 in,Blackburn and Forest.
Coyw let's go,let's be hearing a rumour at least.😠

And a normal contribution to the debate from you
Care to say whether you agree/disagree with my post?
Care to offer some facts or reasoning in support?
No, there's about as much chance of you making a meaningful, intelligent contribution to a debate as there is of TK signing Assombalonga


BestOfBrede

Assomballonga is not required
Why is it that every player some other team sign is a missed opportunity for the Whites?

sorry misunderstood ,didnt realise you meant undet TK

AnOldBrownie

Spending a ton of money didn't lead to success in the EPL so I'm ok with TK taking his time this time and (hopefully) picking the right players to bring into a fairly deep squad.


That said.. I still want Diogo Dalot on loan if he can be gotten.

Assomballonga would be an ideal signing for us.
But my point in this case was something different, which I think you've missed

wheelerdeeler

I'd rather go for someone completely different to Mitrovic than go for an Assombalonga type Striker on big money as a different option to Mitrovic. Someone like an Okazaki type who if played with Mitrovic could in effect do the running for him.

We don't need that many signings, especially if we can retain all but Sessegnon and Seri in-terms of players who played a significant amount last season. Said it before, we could play a team of;
Bettinelli; Christie, Mawson, Le Marchand, Bryan; McDonald, Cairney, Johansen; AK47, Mitrovic, Ayite.
Rodak, Odoi, S. Sessegnon, O'Riley, Kebano, de la Torre, Fonte.
That's from the players we have in Portugal at the moment, not even factoring in Zambo or Ream.

I'd like to get the signings in ASAP, but it's not like the position we were in last summer where we almost literally didn't have a team going into Pre-Season- we're in a pretty strong position squad wise already. So I don't really mind waiting in that sense.

That leaves us at least 4 first team players to upgrade should we go back up... same mistakes again? Too many holes to fill?

David I

Has anyone stopped to think that we do need to strengthen the squad now.
It's miles away from competing in the PL. So if a miracle did happen and we returned  to the PL we would be in the same boat as last season still requiring upgrades and hence the inevitable straight back down.

Current squad has no depth and no way Mitro can last the whole season having to play every game.
Don't say We've got Fonte - he proved too lightweight in fizzy pop.
