The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2021/22

[Porthogs FC]

Surely just one midfielder if Anguissa goes. Maybe a utility forward that can play AM/RW/LW, but even that would like depend on how Cairney is coming along. Think we still offload 2 or 3? Knockaert, Hector, Christie?

All gone very quiet on the subject of transfers. Surely something must be happening with a couple of days to go. :hook:

No idea. But one area where I am now convinced we don't need to spend cash is RB. I thought Dennis did a very good job yesterday up against a highly rated Stoke side and specifically their left winger. Tete will always be our first choice but in Dennis I think we have perfectly adequate cover. Given how careful we have to be over FFP I think we could target any limited funds elsewhere.

:plus one: :plus one:

Osayi-Samuel rumour isn't going away. Doesn't he fit that utility forward?

Sikiri Dembele would also fit that bill. But need to offload at least one attacking player to make room imo.

Lots of chat on Twitter that we've agreed terms with William Carvalho and just need to sell Anguissa and we can then complete the deal which is a loan with obligation to buy should we get promoted.

[Caedal]

Getting William Carvalho would be absolutely insane

[Whitestone]

With Tete out for a while and Christie on his way out a right back is urgently needed. Odoi is ok as short term cover but will be a liability if he gets an extended run in the team. He was the weak link yesterday and it came as no surprise that Stoke had done their homework and targeted their attacks down our right side. I don't think his skill set suits Silva's style.

What on earth did you see that made him the weak leak, would genuinely like to know.

[St Eve]

I thought Odoi had a very good game and is an excellent squa player for us. Christie on the other hand has never been good and should be off loaded immediately

[unionist_ffc]

I really would not be too happy with Carvalho from Betis.

Serious questions over attitude and finances/agents. Could destabilise squad

[Tabby]

Just surprised that William Carvalho is 29 years old. Seems like just yesterday he was the next big thing for Portugal. Guess I'm getting old.

Silva obviously has a different idea, he knows the player

Good news for you then, he has rejected us

Have to disagree. I watched Odoi carefully and he did very well. Kept their left side pretty quiet including the highly rated Josh Tymon. I didn't see any weak links and would be happy with him as cover for Kenny.

I saw someone on Facebook say the same. What's this based on?

Silva and Boa will be on the phone to him IF there is any truth in it.

[Statto]

Given the sustained leaks with Grimes and now Carvalho, I think it clear that the club are looking to replace Anguissa if he goes, with another relatively high calibre player. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

As has been said on another thread, I think Ola Aina would fit both the current RB issue and the DM role as he could play both. Genuinely think we wouldn't need anyone else if we signed/loaned him.

Dennis did have a great game yesterday, including running the wings and offering the overlap. He defended brilliantly too. He certainly wasn't a weak link.

With regards to FFP,  if we go up and stay up does it matter? Serious question.

[grandad]

It´s far too late in the window to sell Zambo & get a top replacement in. This is Fulham you know, we don´t do quick transfers.
