The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2020/21

[Jeroen]

New talks today between Bordeaux & Fulham didn't result in a total agreement for a loan of Jean Michaël Seri, as much as the French side were hoping for a positive outcome - the Premier League side have tried to include Josh Maja in a deal, according to L'Équipe. More tomorrow.

We want to bring Josh Maja home in a swap for Seri

Haha its like the board is reading this forum and realised: Oh sh/t we could have done this with Galatasaray and Diagne, ok, let's try it with Bordeaux and a much lesser option if it's not to late.

NOTE: I'm not sure he is a lesser option, but his scoring records doesn't fill me with hope - it seems we might as well give one of our younger lads a go)

[bencher]

As soon as I saw the link to Bordeaux I looked up the forwards in their squad to see which dud we would try to add to the deal; Maja was the obvious candidate. I haven't see too much of him but I doubt he is the answer to our problems.

I don't know anything about him, but I recall a seeing lot of scepticism about bringing in Lookman and look how that turned out.

Start of window it was all about Dwight Gayle.
That's went quiet.🤔

Josh Maja is the old Sunderland striker from the documentary

Josh Maja is the old Sunderland striker from the documentary

Josh Maja is a 22 year old Londoner who was on the books at Fulham as a youth player. He made his name whilst at Sunderland in League 1 and featured heavily in the Netflix documentary Sunderland Til I Die. He looked decent from what I saw and secured a move to Bordeaux as his contract was running down and he didn't want to resign with Sunderland. At the time I thought he'd be a good option for us as a Championship side. He was scoring goals for fun.  Could be worth a gamble considering our current position and he is a centre forward.

Could be worth a gamble but I think Mitro looked like his old self in the 15 mins he played so that's promising

Probably not quite in the same class as Lookman, but after checking his goal reel from last season on YouTube (not the necessarily the most reliable analysis obviously) - he looks to have a little bit more quality than Kamara.  Which I guess is the best we can hope for at this stage...

The Nigerian posse have done pretty well for us so far, so a thumbs up from me.

West Brom and West Ham also linked with Maja

Can't imagine West Ham going for him as they've just loaned in Lingard and signed Benrahma on a permanent today and West Brom are bringing in the chap from Galatasaray and Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Arsenal.

[FulhamStu]

Could be a good move if we become a championship side.

Scored the winner against us on his league debut in the 17/18 season when Sunderland finished bottom of the league and we were promoted. Chris Coleman was still manager of Sunderland at the time.

Maitland Niles...an upgrade on Cav/BDR in RW/RWB?
Wouldnt have minded that loan if we brought in a striker too

[Jimmy Hill]

Daniel sturidge anyone 31 years old? Could play on the counter. No risk till the end of season?

[PaulJ123]

Think Maja would be a decent option, Gayle's still the top option for me

There must be an issue keeping clubs away from him. Cannot understand why not already snapped up. No for me.

Fulham & Bordeaux set for another day of talks to conclude loan of 29-year-old midfielder Jean Michaël Seri - Premier League side tried to include Josh Maja in negotiations, but the 2 sides have now agreed to negotiate each case as a separate deal. https://t.co/l48Zz4uYew

He got banned for his brother betting on him moving too sevillia. Micah Richards wrote a piece on him last window on the BBC. I'd imagine parker will know him. Match fitness could be an issue.

That looks a bit more promising regarding Maja. He's not ideal but he may prove to be what we need. His goal scoring record in ligue 1 is not outstanding but also not bad.

[filham]

I thought we had written off any hope of a new striker in this window but am I right in thinking that a move away by Seri could just let in a new player on a loan basis. Also have we until Monday night to achieve this.
