The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2021/22

[junior white]

Watford's pursuit of Grimes is surely linked to Will Hughes running down his contract. (ie Grimes is basically a replacement for the outgoing Hughes)

If Watford get Grimes, I hope we turn our attention straight to Will Hughes (who Watford seem to accept is leaving this summer, and was linked to us earlier in the summer anyway).

Hughes was Silva's first signing at Watford, lives in London and would be a great signing for us.

Haven't Newcastle been linked to Hughes?

[filham]

Hughes or Brimes sound good, Silva has experience with both of them so risk would be minimal.
With Cairney injured, Stefjo and McDonald gone we are having to rebuild our midfield and the sooner this is done the better. We cannot afford for it to carry on into the January Window.

[Caedal]

Surely we only need to "rebuild" the midfield if Anguissa and Seri are leaving? Do we know what formation Silva is looking to play? I've seen zero rumours linking Seri with an exit, and only the palace link for Frank.

Could be Silva sees the midfield of Reed Anguissa Seri as his first choice, with Cainey, Onomah, BDR etc as options

Guy who broke the original story and other Brazilian news outlets have confirmed that the deal is agreed. Expect we will announce once he's had his medical.

Don't forget the club needs a good pun too.

Ammunizition?

Bad translation of a tweet regarding Muniz:

Flamengo accepts Fulham's offer for Rodrigo Muniz and arranges for the striker's sale, who will start medical tests in Brazil before traveling to sign a 5-year bond. Coach Marco Silva dreams of having him in the season premiere, on the 8th, against Middlesbrough

Reed/ Anguissa/ Seri sounds pretty good to me but both Seri and Anguissa in the past have made it clear they will not play for us outside of the premier league. Suspect a big club may come in for them late in the window leaving us in trouble.

[millsy]

I believe what someone like Grimes brings, is leadership and organisation to our midfield, which has been missing since superkev dropped out. TC has never offered this and good as Harrison is, he's not Roy Keene, Souness or Dave Mackay.

Those expecting better things from Anguissa are likely, I'm afraid, to be disappointed. For me, his weaknesses outweigh his strengths by some way and he can't even discipline his own play, let alone lead and inspire those around him.

If not Grimes, then someone like him hopefully.

I read that fabian delph is been allowed leave everton ,I would take him

Like that one.

I had thought if we had done a double grimes and muniz one we could've tried something along the lines of Grime(s) music or  Samba Muniz (brazils traditional type of dance).

Fulham win race to sign player after talks with Mackintosh – Set to sign five-year deal, awaiting document

Fulham's offer for Flamengo striker Rodrigo Muniz has been accepted, the Brazilian media says.

According to outlet O Dia, the bid was made on Thursday following a contact from the Cottagers' CEO Alistair Mackintosh. The positive reply was given on Friday morning.

Reporter Venê Casagrande writes that Muniz has even received the papers from the Championship side already, and now prepares to complete the move, which only depends on a document to arrive at the Brazilian club.

Fulham's latest bid on the table was of €4m up front plus €4m in a second instalment. They're letting Flamengo keep 20% of a future transfer.

Casagrande writes that Flamengo also had an offer from Middlesbrough, and actually weren't confident that Fulham would make a bid for a permanent transfer, as the Whites' first offer for a loan with an option to buy had been turned down.

However, with the 'distrust' from the Rio de Janeiro side, Mackintosh called director Bruno Spindel to sort the final details.

It's said that Flamengo tried to convince Muniz's representatives of taking Boro's offer, as the Riverside club had put on the table €5m and would let them keep 50% of a future move. However, the player and agents chose Fulham instead.

The striker is set to join the Cottagers on a five-year deal, with a 'very good' salary.

Yesterday, we covered all the details of his chat with Marco Silva, which had also been revealed by Venê Casagrande.

Where it says 'a very good salary' he was on 800 quid a week at Flamengo, so would imagine a very good wage for him may not be that high

I nearly moved to brasil once upon a time and visited there a few times to figure out whether it was the right decision to make at the time and honestly if you earn anything above 30k gbp you're in middle upper class territory with a very good quality of life. It is very cheap there. If he was on 2 or 3 grand a week he'd be vaulted into a very high lifestyle in Brazil.

Fulham to be ImMUNIZed

[Tonywa]

Are the midfielders we're rumored to be in for better options to help us achieve promotion than simply keeping Anguissa?  Sure, he wasn't great last season...but I still think he's one of our best midfielders...and that won't change even once (or if) Grimes comes in.

Didn't Zambo start last season in fine fettle and only really start to look off the pace following a bout of Covid towards the end of the year?

[MickyAdamsFamily]

MUNIZ too tight to mention?

It just seems odd to me that so many are quick to move him out when he's obviously good enough to help us come right back up.   I mean...if the reports are true that Liverpool are looking at him...unless they pay 25 million (which they won't) I'd keep Frank.
