Quote from: FFC007 on June 25, 2026, 12:10:28 PMThere must be some serious cash available if this rebuild is about to happen.

I would think so given we dont have much in the way of sell on value in the team given the previous recruitment polies.

Fulham Squad Overhaul To Start Straight Away....

According to reports today Fulham's incoming manager Alvaro Arbeloa has told Tony Khan the players he will allow to leave to help fund a rebuild of the squad.



As always summers and a World Cup mean we get linked with loads and loads if they have a decent game we will be linked.



Obviously links sometimes are correct some are not so correct.



Arbeloa has said he would be happy for Smith Rowe, Berge, Castagne, Anderson and Reed to leave this summer.



Berge has been linked to Man Utd, Everton, Hull City



Fenerbahçe and Lazio are intrested in Smith Rowe



Coventry City and Roma are intrested in Castagne



Anderson has been linked to Leverkusen and Galatasaray



Reed has been linked to West Ham and Middlesbrough



If rumours are true Arbeloa wants a total rebuild

Halauyaaaa!Finally a manager that wants to clear out the dead wood and stop the slow decline Silva enjoyed seeing week in week out. I would imagine if he is not offloading Muniz he will go for at least 1, if not two forwards.

The risk with a high turnover of players and not keeping the core to a team is that you lose the spirit within the squad and you also risk new players not gelling together. If we are letting that many players go that would be similar to what we did when we came up under Parker and look what happened there.

I get what you mean, but equally this is often the outcome when a club has such a stale transfer set up that Silva/SK/Tk oversaw.

I smell BS. No incoming manager is openly saying get rid of these players before he's even met them. Come on!

I have never met them either, but equally want them replaced

This is the most "let's just gather a list of names that fans have the most opinions about and write that they are all on their way out" type of clickbait ever. If he really would hand the club a list of names he wanna get rid of as if handing over a king's list of demands now then i would be seriously worried about his way of doing things as he has not even met with or seen anyone of them yet, Christ sake that would have been so unprofessional and silly.

They are my thoughts also, all very bizarre, unprofessional and cannot be taken seriously.

That to me means nothing he would not let people go if he is sure we can get replacements in im sure he'll get shall we say bring 4 in to replace 2 who have left and release 2 fringe players and then he will access the squad,and 21s and plan ahead the under 18s will be a slower process remember all age groups copy the 1st team silva style now it will change to new managers style it will take time.l

Couple of thoughts. I'm sure Arbeloa & TK have discussed 'the next stage'. I don't for one minute think they are going to jettison many of the experienced players. If we're to drive age & costs down we must graft very talented younger players from far and wide onto an experienced structure. Look at the time it's taken ESR to bed in. Kevin I have high hopes for but we're not going to populate the senior squad from our own academy. There aren't enough players of Prem potential (& a number on here wondering if Josh will train on).

Speed dating young players in without that culture is, for me, a recipe for relegation

Agreed. This is just nonsense click bait. No, yet to be appointed, manager is going to list his intended outgoings on a public forum.
Not saying whether I agree with any of those on the list, just that this is invented click bait.

JKA joining for €6m which could be very astute business. Looks like we'll go big on a #1 striker with Muniz backup and JKA as our third option

Great signing that. Looked very good at U21 and seemed to have settled into the squad and teammates from socials.

Bright talent, and if Arbeloa does adopt his 442 diamond again, then he may get more time.

Muniz isnt a good ebough backup. We need better quality

£5m looks very decent value for alot of potential upside. Liked him for the u21s and definately a bit of an enigma. Has something about him, hopefully he develops into something but a good value punt either way. 19 years old by the time the season starts - if we have someone like AA at the helm maybe he'll get a look in - but wouldnt be averse to him going out on loan somewhere he cant start regularly (champ or league 1)

We aren't a big six club that can spend £200m in one window, you need to get used to the idea that unless someone offers a big sum for him, he will be our backup striker this season because we will likely put big money into one striker knowing we also need a couple of wingers & CM's alongside potentially two defenders as well

A full pre-season and being around the senior squad will do him wonders. He's got something about him, great ball control and total package.

Good value in this market nowadays too. I hope he reaches his potential

According to marca.com ...

Fulham are already working on the 'Arbeloa project' and are targeting La Fábrica (Real Madrid's youth academy).
Thiago Pitarch, Cesar Palacios, Manuel Angel, and Jorge Cestero are the main candidates to join Fulham after Arbeloa takes over the club.

All 4 of the above made starts for Real Madrid last season under Arbeloa

Trusty Steed

I so wanted Muniz to be our number 1! I kept thinking 'give him time, give him time', and it still hasn't happened. He is so full of life, and seems like such a nice guy, it's gutting!
As someone else has said I don't think l he is even good enough for our 2nd choice, JKA will potentially be that.
Oh why did we turn down those big bucks form Atalanta last year! He's worth a fraction of that now

KentFulham

Turning down that massive bid from Atalanta was totally criminal and the worst piece of transfer  decision I have ever seen at Fulham


Sting of the North

He showed two seasons in a row before this one that he is at least good enough to be second choice. The memories are short is seems...

This is obviously NFR but Man City have agreed to buy Anderson for 130m
