The Official Silly Season January Transfer Thread 2021/22

[ianthailand]

I think the club/Tony felt cheated by the tribunal/Liverpool on the Harvey Elliott transfer. Sorry Liverpool it's payback time. Shits will always be shits but they don't always win. Well done Tony if all this is true, not doubting your info. WSW. Thanks as always for the time you put in on our behalf.

Sounds like the deal is done for Fabio, with us having him on loan for the rest of the season.

I did see  a £12m figure being mentioned.

Fabrizio reporting it's 7M and end of season loan back

So the saga is dragging on. TK is playing hardball with Liverpool, Liverpool don't want it to go to the summer and want it resolved now so as to beat the competition, however TK is upping the demands to reflect this. I don't know any further details, but unless Liverpool give TK and FFC what they want the deal won't happen

Haha 😄
I was just going to post the same, think we must have read the same tweet,
Interesting day ahead now, do Liverpool up the ante, does somebody else come in or does it go to tribunal at the end of the season.

Personally, I think he still goes, Liverpool do t want to wait until the summer so I think they may just give us what we want

I know it's all rumours at the moment but have I followed all this social media right .... £5 million cash plus  approx £7 million we owe on Wilson so a total of approx £12 million and a loan back for the rest of the season????

Wouldn't be the worst deal in what is a bad situation.

Would love us to work one of Neco Williams (rb), Nat Phillips (cb) or Minamino (acm) into the equation

Yes those numbers make sense and I agree, in a bad situation it's the best we can hope for. We need a sell on clause inserted as well. Out of the three Liverpool players you mention, only Neco Williams is realistic as prem clubs will take the other two in my opinion. I'd take Williams for sure as we need a RB badly at present

Not keen on the loan back idea, just think head and heart will be elsewhere, feel its different with loan of players already at their parent club and not playing, generally they want to play and put a decent shift in (I know, I know RLC before someone mentions him!)  but with Fab knowing you're now another teams player, not wanting to get injured etc personally I'd take the chance and refuse the loan back, however I don't know fab and this may do him a disservice.

Agree....
If he wants to go,then away with him...We'll get by without him.

Bournemouth agreed fee £3.5m with Cardiff for Keifer Moore. Decent signing not sure where that leaves Solanke? Seems a very reasonable price unless i heard it wrong. Perhaps as it's still the January sales?

[PaulJ123]

Bournemouth doing good business with Moore and Cantwell while we lose one of our best attackers with no one rumoured to be on their way.

It is rumoured that we won't lose one of our best attackers... or do we only believe in part of the rumours?

[Andyb]

Is cantwell confirmed to Bournemouth?

[fulhamfan]

i wouldnt want him back on loan head will be gone.

I believe even if he's loaned back to us, we'll see a drop off so yes we lose one of our best attackers. Hope I'm proved wrong.

Replace an attacking midfielder with a winger who's scored twice all season?????

When you go on the football pitch you want to do well, to win and to impress.  If Fab is loaned back, Liverpool will be watching him, he will want to make our fans happy and he will want to impress Liverpool.  He will have his massive contract and if he got injured will still get the money, so injury will be less of a worry than if he had not already done the deal.  It's the best solution given he will not sign.  It's no difference to any other person offered at least 3 or 4 times as much money at a far more successful company, of course we would all go for it.

[Craven Mad]

Cantwell as a replacement for Carvalho feels like a no-brainier. Shocking if we're not in for him.

[SG]

If we get 12 million for Fab, in cash, plus the loan back, it's good business considering he's a goner.

Don't want a loan back if he's going then go now , I wont cheer a player that doesn't want to be at Fulham .

Agree entirely. Doesn't want to be at Fulham then he can **** off as far as I'm concerned. It won't cost us promotion whether he stays or goes. It will cost us millions by him not signing a contract. FFC is bigger than any 19 year old however good he may be.

Are you saying promotion is already guaranteed  ?
Rather foolish if you are.

I am saying that whether he stays or goes will not be the deciding factor as to whether we go up. I don't think that is being foolish at all. We won games when he was injured and will win games when he has gone. He's good but he's not that good yet

Well said Sir.

[Bronaldinho]

I highly doubt Fab will down tools if he leaves us. This is the best opportunity for him to play his way into contention of the Liverpool 11. He would have seen Elliot get game-time there, and if he helps us get promoted, he will probably get time there next season. Especially when Minamino is getting game-time when the front 3 are missing.

It's gutting we are losing him, but loan back is something we need - we don't have another dynamic 10 like him in the squad.

Part of me thinks, we were hoping Quina would be the replacement but he hasn't kicked on or delivered sadly.

[ianthailand]

Long time until 6am for me. Will it be worth it? I suppose it all depends on getting a deal done for Carvalho. Hope WSW gets some good info. to keep us all interested. Best of luck to TK, please listen to Marco young man.

Norwich fans say he is incredibly brittle, and happy for him to go. Don't think he is what we need at all.
