Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2024

[Count Flapula]

If we would have signed Fullkrug he would have done a better job than Raul, is what you are implying. And i totally agree. However, I prefer Fulhams success over Muniz personal success. If we would have gotten it right with Raul would ideally have been the best

I wasn't implying anything as I wasnt talking about Raul at all.

With hindsight, I'm glad that we didn't buy Fullkrug as Fulham is in a much better spot longer term having developed Muniz rather than spend a considerable amount of money on a 30+ player that could mean we have less in the kitty for this summer's signings. Muniz's success not only saved us money on a new striker, but means his current resale value highly benefits us also if we did sell him.

Muniz's success IS Fulham's success.

Wonder if we can add transfer source tiers like other club forums

So much gas spent is spent by our fanbase on terrible sources like footballinsider and twitter-based compulsive liars

Surely the grown up answer is that if you think the source is crap then just ignore it? This is the silly season thread so as long as it's not a 10 reply discussion on something not really transfer related, news is news and can be taken with an appropriately sized pinch of salt?

This time were really ready to submit it, unlike the other times, like, readier than ever🤣

I think as we have this twice a season. Most by now should know to ignore everything including those reporters who claim to be in the know. Life is too short and for some us getting shorter to take anything on here seriously. As in life as in football. Ignore it all and laugh at the rumours. If the odd one turns out ok then it doesn't prove the existence of God. It just proves somebody got lucky.

You didnt literally mention Raul but Rauls failure is Muniz fortune, and opened up for his success. If Raul would have turned out good, then we dont know what would have happened to Muniz development
 We didnt sign Fullkrug because we had already signed Raul and made him one of our highest paid players.

12 mil is what he cost Dortmund, that is 8 mil more than what we spent on Raul. Even if Fullkrug would have demanded 100k a week.

So, it wouldnt have made any considerable dent in our transfer budget

And even tho in thrilled that Muniz turned up and hade a wonderful scoring spell, im not ready to bank on him just yet. Some people on here seem to think he is the sure thing and that he will be a reliable goalscorer for us next season. I sure hope so, but for me the jury is still out.

I think Raul with a full pre season, knowing he can score with us again, having got rid of those demons, could see him back to his best form for Wolves. I wouldn't write him off. I expect/have a feeling he could have a really good season for us for some reason.

Out of nowhere.. don't know much about him - anyone else?

It's all coming together. Hopefully they can be signed before the MU match.

6ft 3 CB.

Apparently played 29 times for Villareal as they came 8th in La Liga last season...

His statistics from last season:

[Caedal]

Wow that's literally out of nowhere. Another youngish player though who plays for a good team. Dont know anything about him, so we'll see

[General]

Don't know how legitimate this is, so take with a pinch of salt perhaps.

Yoro is also apparently out for the first 3 games of the season too, which is good for us if true.

The wallet has been exposed Cushty

[Cottages]

West ham likely to press ahead with Summerville bid having missed out on Soule from juventus who went to Roma.

Think we might find it tough to bring him in if were even really interested.

25m andre
30m ESR
Probably 25 needed for chalobah
20m for oosterwolde

Thats 100m already.

So would probably need to sell Andreas if we had any intention of competiting for him. With Sess/ESR/Iwobi we probably dont need to drop that kinda money on another LW, especially of we also keep willian. Id love to sign him as would provide even more firepower  but cant see it happening

We are in talks with a Keeper as well as a RCB - both very left of field.

Happy with Cuenca, will fit in well. Believe he is left footed but has played RB and RCB in his youth. Promising player who, if hits the ground running, will make us very solid.

[SerbianLad]

Very excited by Cuenca, a decent cb already with room to grow. And even more importantly, a centreback. The only slight complaint I have is, he's a lcb or a lb and we need a rcb way more. Maybe this is a sign of Ream leaving?

[General]

Wouldn't surprise me if ESR stuff comes next..

This will be a Ream replacement. Quite confident we have 3 more transfers in us this window - Andre, Mctom, Mengi.

Really? Seems punchy. he played RCB at Villareal.

Just imagine if we did get Cuenca, ESR, Andre, McTominay and a RCB too.. If we got a RCB and it was Chalobah, that'd be best. Don't know much about Mengi, but doesn't look like we're going for young and inexperienced. Cuenca as a back up LCB (though has played RCB for Villareal) would be bold given he's started for Villareal for a majority of their season. I think he could be a RCB option.
