🌞Summer Silly Season Transfer thread 2026

[hovewhite]

Pie N mash ,i feel exactly the same as long as i can get into cravern cottage and watch the mighty Fulham it's not important about level of competition,and this season   it's about what's more important youth or know how .it's going to be a hell of adventure!

[KentFulham]

Raul- Garcia = upgrade
Wilson- Palacios = no change
Diop - Fougerolles = downgrade
Lukic - Charles = upgrade

Obviosly early doors so only a guess but thats my thoughts

Except Wilson has an expiry date so I would suggest it is an upgrade

[The blahblahman]

Speaking of unrealistic captures, FFN on twitter name drops Endrick.

Also says it's unlikely. Also called the Charles fee days before everyone. 🤷🏻�♂️

[@jolslover]

If we got Endrick that would be an insane capture and a great signing - would rank it impossible but Arbeloas Madrid connections make me wonder..

He would slot straight into RW and give us great depth too.

Re above,

Raul - Garcia
Wilson - Palacios
Diop - Fougerolles
Lukic - Charles

I would add,
Chukwueze, not yet replaced unless you count Bobb who came in last January as an early replacement for one or other of Wilson or Chuk.

Cairney, not expected to return to training until after September international break (which is actually October as England play last game on 6/10/26).  After Robinson's difficulty is returning after 'minor' surgery last season we can only hope Cairney recovers more swiftly otherwise we may be missing Tom for longer too.

Surprised not more positive chatter about hector fort

10m supposedly the fee it would take...seems a really good punt to me. Only just turned 20, was hailed a real upcoming talent a year or so ago but not in favour of current Barca manager.... High press, tracks back well but attack minded,skillfull.

Would be under the tutelage of a very successful fullback. Like it on the surface

Great feedback from Barca fans, if we could get him in and offload Castagne for slightly more I would be all for it.

It's clear Arbeloa wants his fullbacks to play very high and contribute a lot going forwards. On the left side both Robinson and Sessegnon do this well but on the right I feel Tete (solid as he is) and Castagne are lacking in attacking contribution.

Fort and Tete as RB options would be great.

I would be wary of chucking all of our experience out the window in just one summer.

Fort, yes please. As a direct replacement for Tete or Castagne? No please

I agree

As much as I like a revolution its easy to ose your head

I've been abroad for three weeks - when did we sign Charles? Can't see anything on the offal.

At this rate, more like the bloody inquisition

We havent officially yet but a lot of reliable sources reporting just that (BBC for instance)

no one expects the spanish acquistion   

[cwindsor]

Great news about Charles.
Shame about Pitarch.

[howitis]

We desperately need a right sided CB and another creative midfielder.

Appreciate the club is trying its best re CB but doubtful they can bed in before Chelsea match. Guess we will start with Cuenca and Bassey. Assuming Luke F will go on loan. He is not ready for Prem football...

Not going to be room for 3 RBs though.
No way we get Fort unless Castagne leaves (or Tete)

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

I'd swap Fort for whichever of Tete or Castagne is more injury prone. Against the grain I don't rate Tete way above Castagne... maybe a bit.

In terms of CB.. no clue, we seem to have struck out a bit there.

Only if he brings Miss Kiki

[onecupsoon]

Do I remember Tete playing RCB a fair while ago?

He's done in emergencies a couple times but not with any regularity
