Summer Transfer Gossip.

Brentford must be mad paying £18 mil for Joel Valencia. A winger who has scored 13 goals in 178 games for League 2 equivalent teams.

£1,8m or €2m - not £18m.

I apologize. Did not see the dot. Even at that price he does seem a poor buy.

Have you seen him play ?
In fact have you even heard of him ?
If the answer to both is no, then how can you have an opinion on him !
Brentford have got a first class record on buying low and selling high , so no reason to think that this signing will be any different,
Fulham meanwhile have turned £100 million in to dust.

£100m to dust?

We still have Mitro.
Seri and Anguissa both loaned out with options to buy. If activated, there will be fees of substance received. Probably less than we paid, but more than dust.
Brentford have done well for their sustainability, but have they ever been in the PL?

@ETransferNews are reporting on twitter that Chema is being introduced to the team tomorrow and should be announced before saturday. Not sure how reliable this is though...

I made my opinion by looking at his achievements on his Wiki page. Nothing he has done would want us to say Wow we must get him.

He's played at a top level in Spain (though only 150 apps and he's 27). But then so had Amorebietta...

FULHAM WANT £9M FOR ELLIOTT

Fulham will argue that Liverpool should pay a record-breaking £9m in compensation for star teenager Harvey Elliott.

The 16-year old moved to Anfield over the weekend after turning down a scholarship and running down his contract at Craven Cottage.

Fulham are due a fee for developing the player, who became the Premier League's youngest ever debutant aged 16 years and 30 days in his former side's defeat to Wolves.

That figure will be decided by the Professional Football Compensation Committee. 

Elliott became Fulham's youngest ever player at the age of 15 years and 74 days in last season's EFL Cup and it's understood the left-footed attacking midfielder was a fundamental part of manager Scott Parker's plans for the forthcoming campaign.

Liverpool hold the record for the highest fee ever paid in compensation, paying Burnley £8m for Danny Ings.

[wheelerdeeler]

9m is going in high, would expect it to end up somewhere in the 3-6m range depending on how generous the committee are feeling on the day. Elliott playing for their first team at the weekend will have helped us out.

Three trialists in the u23 game against Bournemouth, two of them CB's and one a LB. Anyone know anything else?

I bet if we were buying him, you'd say he was a total waste of money as an unknown

The guy on Twitter got 300 followers, it's made up.

Would anyone be happy with Ashley Williams on a free?

I would, solid, experienced a leader.

Sadly he's not the sort of player we sign nowasays.

There is one. Its just rarely updated because there are no rumours. I agree that most of this thread is pretty much nonsense though.

Imagine Yohann Cabaye on a year contract to support the midfield ... salary I guess is the problem as usual

Some posters one in particular seems to post just to get a response.I think they call it click bait.

There is a thread which is locked, updated as and when we are officially linked with someone........
this thread is always wish lists, b*ll*x, personal acquisitions and names plucked out of the air..................

BUT, always drawn back into it no matter how hard you try to scroll past!  🤣😘
