At the start of last season most of the fans would have been delighted with mid table and free from relegation worries by January . There was even a time when top 7 looked possible , but the squad weakness & tiredness set in . We still ended respectable mid table but without at least 3 new players that will probably be best we can hope for . I applaud the possible introduction of youth players , that builds " one of our own " support , but we also need experience . Weakness currently would lack of speed in defence , mid field creativity after 60 minutes , and an extra striker . On the owners i do think there is a lack of " soccer " knowledge , but there are some Directors like Teflon Macintosh and Chief scout Talbot who should be more supportive of Marco and his team . In commercial terms the Riverside will sell out to corporate & hospitality clients providing we remain a premier league team , if we drop down a division that lucrative business will go elsewhere . That alone should move the owners into transfer action - after all these years the Khans should know the meaning of relegation , a word that does not exists in most American sports .

The only thing I am worried about is the results we achieve in the first three games of the season, if we start off badly that will set the tone for the season ahead. Sure we need new, younger and more tallented players in every sector of our team, except Goal, but most teams I think would say that. Marco Silva could have gone to the sunny dunes of Saudi Arabia this time last year - he didn't so I think he wont now. Lets get behind our team. No reason to pray yet!

Is he going or staying? If he goes (as the rumours said he very interested), I hope we have a quality player lined up. Maybe we can bring Mitro back in the cheap. A backward step but there aren’t many route one striker and goal scorers. And better than just having Raul.

It’s bye bye Muniz, no replacement lined up so will start the season with one recognised striker when we should have at least three top strikers.

The rumour mongers saying Muniz wants to leave obviously don't watch the videos of our squad on their travels. They all look very happy and together. It's the greedy agents hiking players around trying to earn a quick buck that are the problem. I don't see the point in making signings unless they're better than what we have.

Media reports now suggesting the Owner is ready to sell Fulham in the near future as the lack of investment into the team mirrors Fayed’s tenure and behaviour in his last two seasons as owner. This is why Mark Hughes left and why Jol was handed a sinking ship, no wonder Marco is absolutely fuming. We will be left dangling on the edge this season and hope if the reports are correct we get a good new owner in as soon as possible otherwise the slide will continue into next season.
Replies
My angry your post is well wide of the mark . Fayed ‘s time was up at FFC he was an old man and his family didnt want to inherit the club . Mark Hughes played his cards wrong by leaving as he admitted , Jol took over a decent side but his signings were awful and he eventually gave up with the benefit of hindsight he was very poor managerial appointment . I believe the Khans can take the Club further but financial fair play is hindering their ambitions for the club ,

A think you might need to do a little more research Fulham Supporter as your post is wide of the mark on all accounts. Start by reading Charlie Shaw’s article on why the time would be right for our owner to sell.

How come these financial difficulties only seem to effect us, and not clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. Newcastle, like us seem to be struggling with trying to balance the books, and are being restricted in their transfers. Both Fulham and Newcastle have extremely rich owners, and should therefore be able to buy who they can afford. Who brought these restrictive rules in, rules that don't appear to effect top clubs, just clubs like us.
posted by AC (Guest) - Wednesday 13th August 2025, 8:10 AM
 
Perhaps you should read and understand FFP rules. Rich owners have little bearing on FFP other than to prevent club going bankrupt.
posted by Mr Angry (Guest) - Wednesday 13th August 2025, 9:34 AM
 
The trouble is Mr Angry, is that I honestly don't understand the rules and regulations about ffp,and that doesn't really interest me, but I do understand that clubs like ours are being sold down the river, when the bigger clubs can spend money like water, and always get away with it. If you, Mr Angry, or anyone else come to that, can explain how it all works, I would be more than grateful. Over to you MST ! !
posted by AC (Guest) - Wednesday 13th August 2025, 10:08 AM
 
FFP is calculated by looking at a clubs income against its outgoings. Only a club's outgoings via transfers in, employee wages/bonuses are counted, but depending on how the club’s structured outgoings are also dividends paid to shareholders and running costs. Income will be from gate receipts, TV revenue, advertising(shirt sponsors etc.), merchandising(club shop), sale of fixed assets, like a training ground, sales of players and prize money. Any money spent on infrastructure(new stand) training facilities or youth development isn’t counted. Clubs are permitted to spend up to £5 million more than they earn per assessment period (three years). The problem for clubs like Fulham is money from advertising and merchandising. We don’t make enough from it compared to the likes of Arsenal and City. We can however, pay for the Arsenal supporting mayor of London to attend games.

After their triumph in their third consecutive victory in the ladies European final, Sir Geoff Hurst was asked if he thought whether the 1966 England team would beat the Lionesses. Sir Geoff responded yes, 1-0. The interviewer looked at him quizzically and asked only 1-0?. Yes, said Sir Geoff. I am the only one still alive and I am 83.

Kevin Lopes of Shaktar Donetsk (Player of the Season 2024/25) looks an exciting player in the making (still only 22) plays in a very similar ilk to our old friend Willian, in that he likes to operate down the left wing & cut inside on the right foot - he looks strong, rapid & highly skilled (probably born with it being Brazilian) so now according to The Sun, “Fulham submitted an offer of £32m but Shakhtar Donetsk are trying to hold out for £43m” Should we stop being Bargain Hunt of the football world? I think we should go for another bid of £35-£40m as he’s under contract until 2028 & only young, our owners just seem so tight - but of course I would go for it as I’m a gambler anyways!! What do we all think the club should do?

The lack of any younger gifted players and numbers (we had the smallest squad last season) is gifting the pundits the chance to say that Fulham FC will be throughout next season in the bottom six, if not fighting relegation. Now we have a nice new stand on the Riverside why do the Kahns think life would be better in the Championship? It would not, because it is now far harder if you get promotion back to the Prem and stay in the Prem. Am I right? Of course, I am. It is already now far too late for the season opening games when Antonee Robinson will be missing injured. No wonder Maro Silva is pulling his hair out. It does not look good lads.

Is he really going to Atalanta? Left out of the squad on Saturday. Should we sell at £40m?? Many of us would laugh at this figure less than 18months ago. But now - he could become a £70m striker if he continues his very respectable goal to game ratio. Our problem is we should have renewed his contract last season (isn't he still only on 10k per week) - we left it so late, we may have to cash in.
Replies
JohnC, some of us thought he would be worth £50 mln 18 months ago and it would be criminal if we well to sell now just when he is beginning to show his true potential. Far too many posters just want to moan with many opening their mouths and putting their foot in it. Yes, it is frustrating that no new signings have been made but none of us actuallly know what is going on behind the scenes. If no new signings are made when the new season starts, that is the time to moan.

Leeds not giving up on Muniz pursuit Latest from Sky Sports' Zinny Boswell and Lyall Thomas: Atalanta remain keen to sign Rodrigo Muniz at Fulham. However, Fulham do not want to sell the striker. He is considered a key part of Marco Silva’s plans Leeds have also not given up hope of signingMunizbefore the deadline. Muniz is Leeds' top striker target and they have remained patient in their pursuit of the Brazilian That is despite Fulham’s insistence they will not sell to a Premier League rival and the interest of Champions League club Atalanta. Fulham do not wish to sell Muniz at all but the player is believed to be keen on exploring a move to Atalanta Money Talks, Sell to highest bidder & give Marco Funds to spend!!

Every day I'm reading different things about what is going on at our club, and each day I get even more despondent. As it stands we look in a complete mess, and I know we don't really know what goes on behind the scenes, but even a blind man can see that there are big problems. I'm sure that not one of us could even have imagined that, we would be starting the season, without two or three new additions to our squad, and who the hell is responsible for this, other than the Khans. I've mentioned before how furious I am, and it wouldn't really surprise me, if we start the season without a manager/coach, and who would blame Marco for Chucking it in. If we knew the situation before renewing our ST'S, I'm sure that we wouldn't have bothered. I am certainly full of regret. I honestly think, that we will struggle to avoid the drop, and we will have one of the best grounds in the Championship. Even posting this, leaves me seething.

Just a thought as its monday, bournmouth have just got a c/back for 35 mill plus, but remember although they have only 12,000 gate they made 100 mill with 3 sales due to to class scouting,which makes me wonder no one on this site knows if Talbot and his crew have ever said to the board, have found two young guys in chile 22 been looking for a while we can have them for 25 mill the two, fast ,kick both feet ,and the board said no thanks dont like there hair cuts, no one knows them we like to advertise who we are after.Yep bit on satyr side but how do we know???.W all slate the talbots me included but!!!!!!!!.

Is it not better to keep all your good players rather than sell them and hope you can get replacement players at least as good. If you are looking at real needs we need a striker who scores a lot of goals and a quality central defender. I think they will come soon in and slot in when they are fully fit. We still have the best squad we have ever had.

As i said paddy they sold 100 mill worth of talent spending i think about 54 mill, its down to good scouting and taking a chance,you dont have to sell all the cream just take a scoop of the top , one player you buy at 30 mill end of season he goes for 60 mill you now check out two more players .

I can only agree with Brain Doctor's original post - that, whatever he shows in training, in matches Pereira was always wasteful of deadball situations, whether corners or free kicks. I think it was just a question of him being too wound up, trying too hard. Whatever. We have to get someone better.

I agree with both you, Mr Angry, and craven in an article below, in that Marco will be off soon. I have just watched his interview, and it was not a bouncy one, but an I'm not going to be here much longer one. We will take the field against Brighton, with more or less then same team, that we lost at home to against Man City, and that is not an improvement team, but one that is standing still, and we could be ion for a very rough season, with even a relegation battle at the end, under a new manager. The Khan's are all smoke and mirrors, and we have no more chance of making new signings that Starmer has of stopping the boats. If it is of any consolation, all of my Brighton supporting neighbours, are moaning about non signings as well.

Yes, we will return to normal service in two weeks time but to keep the brain cells working I am hoping that you guys who often post educated articles can assist me in understanding this answer to the explosion in illegal immigration. Surely it is not just for residence in hotels which normal people would not be able to afford for more than two weeks. Of course one naturally expects them to be treated as holiday makers are when they spend two weeks holiday by receiving three meals a day. However, holiday makers are not given a mobile ephone but that is because they already have one. Strangely, they also are paid to stay in the hotels and the phones are to help them communicate with friends waiting in Calais advising them it is fine to cross the Channel with a French naval escort up to the English part of the Channel. There is also the opportunity of a bit of moonlighting as delivery people which tops up their meagre weekly allowance. Fortunately, Stammer and his cohorts have finally come up with the brilliant scheme which has been endorsed by their French counterparts. Why no one, including the Conservatives, had thought of the amazing solution to the continuous immigrant arrivals on our shores I know not. The wonderful scheme labelled “One in, One out which has left Stammers critics dumbfounded. Unfortunately, i have not quite grasped how it works so, I shall be obliged if the brainer posters can enlighten me.
Replies
1 in 1 out will prove just a gimmick; it will not work. The only credible plan that would have worked is the Rwanda scheme and we all know why Rwanda didn't work. Woke judges and bureaucrats in Europe who don't have any love for Britain scuppered the plan by jamming up the moving process and stopped the planes taking off to Rwanda. Anybody legit who claims to be moving from countries that are war-torn would be happy to take on a new life and opportunities in Rwanda. Interestingly, the Americans have hijacked the Rwanda scheme and they have successfully deported 250 migrants to Rwanda which shows the scheme can work. Britain has always taken in migrants and both labour and Conservative governments are complicit in doing so. Even migrants that have successfully migrated and adjusted to the British way of life know that it is impossible for Britain to take in fresh migrants at the rate of numbers coming in and the system is under strain and in collapse because there just is not enough houses and resources to sustain the influx of migrants unless we build new towns etc and if we can do that, it would be miraculous and more migrants would just keep coming. Everybody young and old in Britain will qualify for a pension and we know if you haven't worked and paid into the scheme, you will get some sort of reduced pension and we already know the great British state pension scheme is in danger of collapse with the strain, they simply cannot afford it something has to give. Last thing on Migrants compared to guest? If you invite a guest to your house you make room for your guest for dinner and maybe a bed to sleep. If ten unexpected turn up, you are not prepared. Anybody who thinks i or anyone writing about this subject is racist, just think about the invite of a dinner guest to stay one night and you have ten people turning up to your house. Just imagine all this ten times fold on people turning up univited across the channel from a safe country like France. Nuff said!!!

Last season couldn’t quite see why Raul wasn’t given free kicks after the 40 yarders he scored for Mexico. Lo and behold he finally takes one today and buries it from 30 yards. He must be the favoured taker from now on with Harry back up.

Good workout for the lads. Apparently there was a game earlier today where the remainder of the main squad got some minutes so subs in this match were mainly the youngsters. Yeah should’ve been a cheaper day for the fans but I guess that’s football nowadays

This time last season Liverpool fans were extremely unhappy without any signings. I don’t think if they threatened to throw their season tickets away but that’s a bit dramatic isn’t it? So we haven’t signed any players. Surely we judge the upcoming season on results, and even if we underperform, is your loyalty to the club that shallow and want to walk away because big daddy didn’t buy some new toys.

I appreciate what Silva has done a fantastic job for the club but I am not sure he's anymore committed to the club than any other Premier league managers. This is only evident if they turn down a bigger job to stay at Fulham. As far as I know, Silva has not been offered any bigger job to date. Also if we say he is more committed because he hasn't walked away from the club yet. Tell me the last premier league manager left for a smaller club or to unemployment. Never. Or at least I don't recall any. So without taking away the great work and a great manager Marco is, let's not get carried away he's any more committed to the club until he signs a long term contract, that I believe the club offered to him. Which may also be the reason the club are reluctant to spend big knowing there will be a change in manager in 12months time.

Watching Marco's after match interview, although he didn't actually say it in as many words, that he was bloody angry with the lack of signings, but you tell from his expression, that he has had enough, and unless we have a few new faces joining the squad, there will be one face less, and that is Marco himself, and who can blame him. If this happens, this will be my last ever ST, at CC. These next few weeks could break our club, along with our once loyal supporters.

I agree with you about Gyokeres, as I was never impressed with him, when he played for Coventry, and we were interested in signing him at one time, and in my humble opinion, I think that Arsenal have been caught with their trousers down this time. I was quite surprised how Ipswich have suddenly turned into a team of thugs, after watching tonight's game with Birmingham, as they played good football last season. Birmingham incidentally were robbed of a win, by a really shockingly bad performance by a weak referee.

I hold my hands up, Bigboy, you did flag up Mitrovic for a comeback and i do apologise. Considering our ever so slow transfer policy and the not knowing, i for one would jump for joy if Mitro made a grand appearance back to Fulham. Just the character of the man would inject enthusiasm and zest throughout the squad We have waited patiently and eagerly for signings and 'boy' do we need something good, just some good news to cheer us fans up.

Chelsea shirts are worn all over the world, a lot of revenue there. How often do you see a Fulham outside match day? They also recently sold their women’s team for £200 million yet they still have the same name and branding. Could be a bit of creative accounting, don’t you think?

Many christmas presents are a waste of money and take up space but it’s an increasing trend year after year because its in somebodies interest to move more and more money. Likewise in football and maybe with last year being one of the few exceptions, we have tended to buy players who have contributed little to our objectives. Le marchand, loftus cheek, Kongolo, knockaert, vinicuis to name a few. This summer window mega money is being moved around again ,and apart from Liverpool who are currently a well settled institution, the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea are revamping their squads over already revamped squads the previous season which never settled in. That this is the road to success, I doubt. The only teams who prosper through the checkbook are few and limited i.e. Man City , Real Madrid, Bayern,and then again ,requiring a solid board behind them. In summary, That we haven’t made any signings yet does not worry me. I believe last year we had an excellent squad who gave it away stupidly on too many occasions but showed there was potential for a top 6 finish. Any player in this squad can be a match starter. .This season we have promoted two youngsters to the first team. We have hope in ESR turning on the potential and who knows, if positioned correctly , the name of Sess may be an England prospect. I haven’t spoken to Marco to suggest to think why he should be annoyed or wanting to leave. Im not excited by the prospect of signing Sterling or 3 of his calibre basically because I doubt they would improve our league position or style. For better or worse , the Khans are no fools. They are business men who no doubt have a plan.
Replies
T.NO, how nice to see a sensible posting to which I completely agree. Yes we would appreciate and maybe benefit from a couple of additions but our present squad, on their day can beat anyone. However, we must strip for greater consistency as last season we threw away too many points from winning positions.

The plan is to spend as little as possible. It’s going very well so far. The new stand must be paid for regardless of whatever financial jiggery pokery they’ve danced around to avoid fair play penalties. The reluctance to spend will have consequences on the pitch.

I have been looking through the rest of the teams in the Premier League, and trying to sum up, what type of season we can anticipate having, and I can't honestly say, that we will only be having at best, a mid table or maybe just below season, with what in my opinion will be a very bad start, with probably no points after the first three games, and we will be sitting in the bottom three if not bottom. I will not be too concerned, as we will be far too good to stay there, but I feel that we will be hovering just below halfway for the whole season, with some good wins and some bad losses, where we should have been progressing from last season, instead of going backwards, as looks the case. A couple of signings of merit may change my mind, but that doesn't look like happening now. Every club needs a new face, to give the supporters some encouragement, but at present there doesn't seem the remotest chance of that happening at the Cottage. I hope that I am so wrong, as hope springs eternal.

I believe we had the chance to sign Scott McTominey for something like £30m last season. Not sure how close we came to signing or we gave it a pass! Now he’s a hero and nominee for Balon D’dor. He’s been scoring for fun too. Instead we have Smith Rowe. Missed opportunity?!

Man Utd don't sign bad players, their problem is getting them to gel and play together, which is the hardest. Chelsea, too, they sign too many players and have the same problem. I wanted us to sign McTominay, but it didn't happen. I think some of our fans are too snooty and think that the likes of McToninay isn't good enough for Fulham. I think that Lookman is a good player and so does half the world including Arsenal who are thinking of signing him for a colossal fee. Lookman took the worst penalty ever known but that doesn't make him a bad player.

Drawing inspiration from the cult favourite 1999/2000 away kit, the striking green colourway is paired with a navy collar and sides, white piping and the iconic adidas Three Stripes.

Fulham have not signed any new outfielder players! I’m not sure there’s anything new anyone can now write about our lack of signings so PLEASE can we now change the record? We all know that we’ll sign players before the window closes and we all know that it’ll likely be nothing reported in the press. It’s the same every season now so let’s just accept that nothing said by fans will change the situation and debate something else - the away shirt badge, the price of season tickets, the reduced allocation of away tickets, the toilets in the Hammy end, the set piece coach, white shorts, etc., etc. ANTHING BUT NO BLOOMIN’ SIGNINGS (TIC).
Replies
Fulham try, quite successfully, to keep their transfer business secret so usually the rumours are nonsense unless a reporter has seen a player at the Cottage or the training ground seeming to sign a piece of paper. This way negates other looking for a player and protects from lies other that those told by their agent or by Fulham

have the owners ever been to the Hammy End , and sampled the food on offer ( we knows it going to be simple but hot and tasty would be good ) - the very basic toilets that were last upgraded 25 plus years ago . The plus is we can now use the upscale riverside facilities after the game - very different . And cant resist mentioning frustration with no signings when the squad weakness is obvious - smacks of complacency rather than desire to progress .

Reading the screams of the posters here who want to see a more dynamic transfer policy from Fulham, with loads of new signings, just makes me think of Man U and the disaster that has been their transfer policy in recent seasons. They have to spend big to get in players to cover the gaps left by those good players leaving. I see another Man U reject, Scott McTominay, has just became a Ballon d'Or nominee with Napoli. (Being nominated puts one on a 30-man shortlist for the world's best player.) It must be so much better to avoid lurching into a panic buying strategy like Man U have, and keep the ship steady, like Fulham have.

I'm quite worried about our non signings, as I'm pretty sure that the club must be making offers for different players, but the players involved, just don't want to join us, for some reason or other. Mainly I suppose, is that we are not involved in any type of European competitions, or is it that we are far too close to Chelsea, and most players would rather sign for them, and not us. There must be some reason why players are avoiding us, as we haven't as far as I know, got a bad reputation. Even poor players like Sterling, who I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, would rather join a below par West Ham outfit.

The Manchester Utd Transfer Show? So many only watch it because it’s such a great comedy show. The manager apologises for last season’s performances, expensive players are queuing to leave Man U, and the club, without European football next season to offer incoming players, flays around wondering who to buy. (Only those without European football and its bonuses - that is, probably inferior players - would leave to join United). OK, it's been quite quiet in SW6, but stick with that happy settled ship, our FFC.

SKY's contacts to show Premier League matches forces them to give all the teams a fixed amount of coverage each. They would rather just show the big teams playing the big teams as they get bigger audiences and more advertising money. The big teams have huge numbers of supporters who rarely or ever go to a game. We do not have many such "supporters".

I watched Sky's transfer shows with great interest, but it might as well be named the Manchester United transfer show, but other clubs are mentioned from time to time, but strangely the name Fulham, is never mentioned. Frustrating to say the least.

Not my favorite person but as a footballer, he’s not bad when he’s not partying. If Everton can afford him, surely we can too. I’d take him over Sterling or even Nelson anytime.

Last season our owner got a £120m loan which was spent on players them paid back the loan by creating mores share to an equivalent value. You cannot do this every season and we probably only have around £60m to spend in this window and are being careful with how we spend it.

Since there’s no Fulham transfer or even rumours to discuss, thought I’d rant for a few minutes. I see headlines this morning Rachel Reeves confirmed she will be raising taxes to fill a 41bn gap. This leads to my frustration that a party, as Labour have done, can lie through the teeth with false promises and commitments they have no idea how it will be delivered. They failed on basic economic to grow the economy (eg not to punish company so hard with tax), look after the elderly, failed on slowing down immigration and boat crossing, etc etc. what have they delivered to date. Oh yeah - they gave unions double digits percentage pay rises! Instead they will punish many of us here with more taxes and cuts. They will punish us on our hard saved pensions. They may even land grab a piece of our house with wealth tax and whatever is left, they are likely to punish our kids with massive inheritance tax. I didn’t realise they were going to implement Corbyn’s policies. Well they lied so maybe many people were too naive to believe! Rant over!

Private investors own those, not the UK government, for f*ck sake don’t give Reeves ideas. The Greek government took money from citizens accounts a few years ago, I’m assuming that’ll be the next bright idea. Anything but cut spending on their voter base of camel herders and the lazy.

Too late! Sadly Rachel Reeves already grabbed and got plans to take more of these US treasury bonds. 95% of the US Bonds are in Pensions and she's already put that under inheritance estate, next is to remove the 25% tax free element, then to means test those with a hard saved pension pot then finish off with a wealth tax on whatever is left. So too late.

Journalists are now picking up on the fact that Fulham have not done any decent transfer business, suggesting that our poor finish to last season means we do need improvements otherwise it could be a poor season for us. Add to this teams below us last season like Everton, Man U and Spurs will be much better so we do need improvements and these need time to adjust, there will be no preseason for any new signings now so we will be playing catch up for the first ten games.

Would we have sent all our decent young players out on loan if we were not going to make signings. Look at the possibilities not the facts

Mr Angry, are you off of your rocker. The Muniz to Leeds deal, which was always nonsense is no longer on, as Leeds have given up on that one, which was never on in the first place. Robinson to Manure United, is almost laughable, as even Jedi, would lower his sights that low. What wouldn't surprise me though, is Richarlison joing us from Spurs, as him and Marco, have always seemed to be very friendly, when we play against him, and they were together at Everton.

something i think most of us try to do in our daily lives . I think same applies to Fulham FC on most things - off the pitch new stand seemingly catering for the corporates and overseas tourists , mainly Americans . No problem with this providing the other three stands are still comfortable & affordable to the all weather / season after season fans- so far so good . Some of the money spent on improving the team - this is where the question comes in . I think to most of us the weakness in the squad is obvious - lack of speed in central defence , not enough creativity in midfield esp after 60 minutes , and need for a younger striker maybe as impact sub ( even move vital if Muniz moves ) . Marco has added to the coaching team with a dead ball expert , but his - and the fans -frustration - with the lack of activity from others is apparent . The board / scouts dont seem to have a clue who/ when to sign . The scouting shows no improvement season after season and maybe reflects an ownership complacency .

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall formerly of Leicester City, has been sold by Chelsea FC for £20m plus add ons after making just three appearances in the Prem last season. He is joining David Moyes at Everton FC, who is to my mind an excellent manager. Meanwhile Chelsea take a £10 million hit on their investment in this player. I've give up on rumours and so should you, until the club announces any new players on 31 August 2025 I'll just keep hoping as they have sold a number of our Academy Players already so no help from that direction. Did you all see the excellent season Jay Stansfield had at Birimingham City? - played out of his skin for his Dad apparently who he lost recently. He is a good player.
Replies
Jay Stansfield had an excellent season in division 1! Big picture is according to the squads around us Brentford lost manager,staff and 2/3 of there best players as have Brighton and Bournemouth we finished with record points last year and have only lost Willian and Viniscious so if we keep our current squad and I’m sure a couple of late signings what’s the problem?
posted by Chief (Guest) - Tuesday 05th August 2025, 5:22 PM
 
He sound more like a National Trust property than a player who must be weighed down by his name and never fit. We have done well to miss him.

I think relegation threatens at the moment, or skin of the teeth survival as things looking alarmingly grim with lack of incomings, and possible outgoings. Perhaps we are in need of a new parachute payment??? One can only hope that 5he red is things happening behind the scenes that are only party to club officials.

So Marco has clearly had a pop at the Board for not doing any transfer business (bar an aged keeper) and feels this has hampered his preparations for the new season. Marco is already defending himself should we start the season poorly, he already has the perfect excuse. This does not bode well for the start of our season in which we have three very tricky matches.

According to up to date figures from prem FFC and ARSN are joint smallest squad in prem at 24 ,and are just .6 behind w/ham as oldest squad.29.6 as to 30. just trying to help mst, im sure he will find another set of figures. Oh yeh and marco stil being ignored regarding players he asked for and has no chance of getting.
Replies
As before we have a squad that has cover in all areas, to my mind that means replacing players with better players. Who do you want to replace players we have in the back four, midfield four and front players.King has to be given lots of playing time, or would you like to buy a 25-30 million pound player to play like Dewsbury-Hall in his place. Biggest issue for me is the 30 mill for Anderson last year, hope his complete lack of pace was due to injury. We do not have another Mitrovic or Palhina to sell to improve an already strong squad. We have addressed the goalkeeping issue and hopefully the dismal set piece record, by obtaining a specialist coach. Giving Wilson a contract is a must. Pererra should be sold, if anyone wants him, so we need one quality footballer to replace him. Seems like Marco wants a wide forward.

Good to see that Everton have got their fingers out and agreed a deal for Dewsbury-hall from chelscum. Another one bites the dust if rumours are to be believed. This transfer window is depressing and embarrassing. Still haven’t sold any premium players yet, and no one seems to want Perrera now, and Willian could still be available….
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Monday 04th August 2025, 2:03 PM
 
I'm a pretty even tempered person, until someone or something really gets my goat, and this transfer window is windy me up so much that it is really making me bad tempered. I don't know what others thought, but to me Dewsbury Hall would have been a good addition to our squad, and it seemed all agree4d, if you believe the press, but now he is the way to Everton, which is infuriating. This nonsense with the two additions from Arsenal, and the then selling of Muniz, is on going and never ending serial. Why oh why do I support this snail pace like club, when there is a much more ambitious club just down the road, who buy players just for fun. I am beginning to think that although our players say they are quite happy here, and I am guessing here, there is turmoil with the Khan's and Marco, and I will not be too surprised if the next news from the club, is that he has gone. In that case I wouldn't be the only one to turn it in as well.. I'm sorry at present that I have actually purchased yet another ST. If things change in the next few weeks then most of our minds will change as well, but don't hold your breath.
