🌞Summer Silly Season Transfer thread 2026

[bill taylors apprentice]

Stating the bleeding obvious but we need a forward who will score us 15+ goals a season and a top quality midfielder who can dictate and drive the team forward.

Maybe then we will see the talents in the team at their best as well.

It will take a lot of money and persuading to sign such players and I doubt it will happen.

Disillusioned ?
You bet!

"- Fulham are expected to "accelerate" their efforts to sign PSV and USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi, according to Fabrizio Romano. Pepi suffered a broken forearm while in action for PSV in mid-January but made a scoring return to action this weekend and is keen to move to the Premier League for next season. Fulham were close to agreeing to a fee in the region of €37 million ($43.9 million) in the January transfer window, but the deal was contingent on PSV finding a replacement, which they could not do."

ESPN carrying these reports in the States.

Perhaps we could offer them Muniz?

Liam Delap apparently on the way out. 30m being a mooted fee Everton are considering. His style would be perfect for us bit question whether wages would be within our budget.

Disagree about his style fitting us. He excels in route 1 and counter attacking football. His holdup, heading and in structure play is pretty poor which are the areas we needs the most out of our striker. He likes a long ball into space that he can get onto and carry into the box to shoot or create. That's when he is at his best. We don't really do that under Marco.

I know that these attributes are important, but they are not what we need most from a striker. What we need is someone who can find the net on a regular basis.

Reports Arsenal are looking to sign Samual Amissah

Alongside Manure, Bluepoo and a few others from the PL and Europe.

We have midfielders that can do that at a high level already, but MS is more concerned about their defensive qualities. We can buy a top notch £100m attacking midfielder and he won't play until he becomes more defensive, therefore negating their core skill, Kevin, exhibit A.

[Angus Telford]

I'm happy with our business this year but we've still a lot to do IMO. I hope there's more cash in the bank. We need almost an entirely new spine IMO (CF, CM and ideally GK) plus a long-term replacement for Tete and a winger if we lose both Wilson and Chukuweze. At this point our business prior to 2025 doesn't look so good. Berge and Castagne were probably overpriced and not young, and we've been papering over the cracks up front since Mitrovic left. That underspending and short-termism is coming back to haunt us. We still need a couple more strong, punchy windows to fix it.

Raul to Everton?
But their fans aren't too keen...

Pepi with another game winner tonight

Great positioning to be there for the goal, something we have missed this season

Not a great defence. He was completely unmarked in the 6 yard box.

Indeed, decent anticipation to get into space though, and last week he scored a belter from outside the area, so he can do both.

Anyway!  Who are we taking from the carcass of Spurs?   

Djed Spence back for next to nothing?
VDV is out of our range.
Maybe Archie Gray?

I honestly can't think of any others that we would need or who would improve us, I would rather keep Raul for another two years than I would pay out anything for Solanke or Richarlison.

Kulusevski if he can stay fit enough to pass a medical, maybe?

Over to you lot..

Definitely not that thug Romero..

Bergvall for Reed?

Would Solanke bring anything to the table for us?

[FFC1987]

Bergvall will go to a big club. I wouldn't touch Spence. I rate his ability but he seems to have such an attitude. Feel like Archie Gray will stay even with relegation. Gallagher I once rated but again, wouldn't go near him now, looks really slow. Don't think I'd touch Palinha, Tel or Muani, despite the last two looking lively, just lacking final product.

I'd like Richarlison.

If Marco stays I would love to see Richarlison up front. I know many don't care for him, but he is the prototype front man for Marco's style.

[South Coast White]

I think if Richarlison becomes available, Silva will try and get him, he's bought him to 2 previous clubs thus far. Personally I don't have an issue with this.

Tend to think his a tad inconsistent and quite injury prone nowadays let alone the type of wages he'll demand. I like him because he has an edge to his game but they would likely cause further issues down the line with suspensions? We seem to be looking at players now within a certain age group with the hope of decent sell on value?

[Moussa Dembele the 3rd]

Richarlison, Paulinha, and Haden Hackney

And Marco and Harry re-up

[Trusty Steed]

With everyone saying we need to replace Leno, and this talk of Spurs players .......... Kinsky anyone?

No but that Vicario is a good keeper imo

[BestOfBrede]

Why do people talk about taking relegated players?

Are these the same people that say we have no ambition?

Even if we liked a certain relegated player they still might cost a packet!
And why do we think that just because they've been relegated they want to jump to us?

Sorry, but I think it's a dumb question- who would we take, like we can pick!

Because they are generally available whereas getting a Prem player is otherwise very difficult unless you are a big 6 club. They may choose another club over us, but almost all of the time they will choose us over the Championship. Yes, they can still cost a good bit of money but generally less than they would have cost normally.
