I’d advise anyone against contacting an unknown, potentially unsafe email address, especially our older posters. If Brendon wants to donate to the club I suggest he contacts it direct. If he wants to sell it he can list it online. If he wants to donate it then go to a local charity and not RNLI, Oxfam, Red Cross or any other spivs of that ilk.

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.

posted by Marco (Guest) - Monday 04th August 2025, 11:35 AM 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.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Monday 04th August 2025, 8:23 AM Wrong. They’re the oldest club still active but played under their own rules until 1877 so they didn’t play what would be recognised as modern football till then.

posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Sunday 03rd August 2025, 12:18 PM Paddy, for once I agree with you. However, I doubt if we can afford his wages so should try for a loan deal. Although, none of us know what is going on behind the scenes it also appears that neither does Marco which is worrying. If he is being sidelined in transfer negotiations then that would be construed as disrespectful and also an insult. This may well lead to Marco deciding his future lies elsewhere. The fans, especially those who are so vociferous at away matches, are rightly annoyed as this will be our fourth season where any signings only take place in the final week. Is it possible for the supporters committee to make representations to the board that bread and butter supporters deserve to be kept informed. Many of the older generations have supported the club for 50 to 85 years and have often suffered from seeing the club almost forced out of the EFL and at one point even being on the verge of extinction.

It was really a 120 minute training session as long as they get fit and learn from any mistakes it doesn’t matter . Report says we hit woodwork 3 times better to get any bad luck used up in friendly, concern world be giving two pens away . Positive from preseason so far smith rowe looking fit scoring King Sessegnon looking sharp and Wilson scoring and looking class. But they are only friendlys the prove will be when real matches start, I’ve been around long enough to know you can have a good preseason and have bad season. And bad preseason and a good season results wise . All that matters they get fit pick up no injuries, and managers happy there learning what his teaching them
posted by DMK (Guest) - Saturday 02nd August 2025, 11:12 PM Observers on here hope and pray for new signings, as early and soon as possible, quoting the need to blend new signings into the team in pre-season training. Of course, Fulham may well have tried but not yet concluded any transfer successfully (other than the back up keeper we signed from France) but this must be taken as a positive sign that our present squad is happy to stay and considered adequate to keep. Preseason training at Fulham, with squad rotation goes on, and so the team develops without the pressure to achieve results. Meanwhile clubs like Newcastle (where Isak is giving them some unhappy moments) look in a certain disarray before their season has even started. And as for Man Utd, don’t get me started.

That’s what we were told by our coach Mr Adams anyway.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Sunday 03rd August 2025, 8:58 AM If we were allowed to make 10 substitutions each PL game all matches would be a shambles. Friendlies are aimed at getting the first team and the rest of the main squad match fit, nothing more, nothing less. You can see the matches even the players who score hardly celebrate and the defenders who concede a goal do not hold their heads in disappointment. They are match based training sessions. Even if we won all our friendlies in a convincing style that would be no indication of how well we do in the Premier League. We will eventually sign as many of the player we need we can and Marco always moans it is part of the motivation strategy.

Don't look at what other clubs are doing. We have a cautious approach and Marco knows exactly who he wants on board. And no Forest you can't have Adamo
posted by Tonyjohn (Guest) - Tuesday 29th July 2025, 12:10 PM Yes he knows ,but do the board know?.All we seem to be doing is scrapping the barrel,maybe him, maybe that one,loan sterling, loan dewsbury,loan this one, loan that one , mostly not wanted by any clubs apart from us.And still our ages go up by the time the season starts we will be in last off summer wine division for he aged.with no sell on at all just a recomendation /deal to a cheap care home.

Is this a true complement on the Lionesses achievement?? Probably not with all the but's. You are probably old enough to remember Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the FA cup final? I don't think anyone were that critical of Wimbledon's - cos they won, albeit, wasn't very elegant. I am not a big fan of the ladies football but I give credit where credit is due. Unlike the England men's team, we have a squad of humble ladies (no front pages or arrogant big headed attitude) and they have beaten what was put infront of them, reaching 3 finals in a row, etc. Some achievements. As for the manager, she's reached 5 finals in a row!! I am not defending BBC or wokeness or if they should get whatever gongs (worthless in my opinion anyway) come their way, etc. I just feel the Lionesses deserve some credit this time!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Tuesday 29th July 2025, 11:00 AM Although I said that I was delighted that our English ladies team won the European cup, I know believe that the celebrations have gone way over the top. Yes in their standard of football, they came out on top, but let's not kid ourselves, the standard isn't all that high, and woman's football never will be anywhere near the standard of our mens football. I hope, that if and when, our mens team, actually win a major trophy, they will be treated as the ladies have been, which is seriously OTT.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Tuesday 29th July 2025, 9:45 PM Craven, I agree completely. JohnC states the squad are humble and not arrogant unlike their male counterparts but they were roundly criticised by the Spanish press for their arrogant post match celebrations. The Switzerland Ladies team was beaten 7 - 1 by a boys team in their build up for the completion.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Wednesday 30th July 2025, 7:59 AM I totally agree with Craven as well. It's now the silly season when it comes to being OTT, with the woman's football. Let's face it, they only won on penalties, and only scored 1 goal in 120 minutes. If they had won 2 or 3 nil in normal time, I would have been well pleased, but the penalty shoot out is a lottery, that could have gone either way, and this time it went to England's woman. Frankly Spain played better football, but could only score once.
posted by AC (Guest) - Wednesday 30th July 2025, 10:06 AM Have to agree on your summing up Spain was the better team overaull but the girls and our rugby boys and our cricketers find ways to come out on top unlike our footballers that’s why they are more exciting to watch first three teams have been magniicent this year

How the architect of Britain’s greatest naval victories will be any use to Fulham is beyond me. Yet another example of the decline of Britain’s standards under the communist, Starmer.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Monday 28th July 2025, 12:59 PM Believe it or not Smith Rowe is an attacking midfield player which means that when he finds his mojo, he should score more goals. Thats right' Smith Rowe can play centre forward so technically he should be a perfect link up man to Muniz who knows that goals are expected from himself. Our problem is a typical fans dilemma. Can Smith Rowe and Muniz deliver goals regularly this season? Marco is the man of faith who will know and put his trust in these two and we fans think and feel that we need another striker. Interesting to see how Marco moves in the transfer market but a fit Reise Nelson, Sessegnon, Traore, and Pereira looks a nice attacking and creative force with Cairney. Berg and Lukic are great links to attack and defence but i still think we need more.

posted by OWEN - Sunday 27th July 2025, 7:03 PM I know that I am biased, but when England win anything I am always delighted, so I'm really really pleased that the woman's team won again. From what I saw of the game, it was quite ordinary, although both goals were taken well. The biggest surprise to me though is the improved showings of the woman's goalkeepers, who used to be a joke, and our young keeper, did exceptionally well throughout the tournament.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 27th July 2025, 7:32 PM Yes, well done, huffing and puffing to a penalties win over the semi final conquerors of Switzerland. Take a look on YouTube and watch Switzerland get thumped 7-1 by the FC Lucern U15 boys team in June this year. A bit of perspective might be in order.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Sunday 27th July 2025, 8:41 PM Perreira is absolutely useless at any set play, Wilson surely to take over that role this season. Btw why is Perreira not leaving probably because no other team want him. So far, our transfer window has been non existent and any business will be done late and that is never a good thing.

Congratulations to us Fulham to win 3-1 and a nice confidence booster.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Thursday 24th July 2025, 4:28 PM So you think Marco is happy? Happens every year and always last minute signings. Starts every season at a disadvantage to other teams and valuable points lost as a result. Handicaps are for golfers not premier league football teams.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Thursday 24th July 2025, 7:01 PM No complaints re the young guys getting new contracts. Especially after losing Osmand to Celtic and the many more in preceding years. My guess is Marco wasn’t happy about this either and finally got some action for our academy which has very successful. But we need players at the cutting edge now, Marco needs players at the cutting edge now and to leave it so late doesn’t do us any favours against our strengthened competitors.
posted by Dellers (Guest) - Thursday 24th July 2025, 8:24 PM Buying players is not a race it is getting the best players you can when you can at a price you can afford. A lot of bargaining goes on, when they ask for £25m and we offer £20m if no other offers come in we get him at that price but if others come in and bid we may end up paying more if we really want him. If you have ever been to an auction it is very much like that, you get it cheap, you pay the expected price, you pay over the odds or you do not buy.
posted by The Time Is Now - Friday 25th July 2025, 6:21 AM Naturally you don’t want to pay over the odds but other teams seem to manage quite well…..
posted by Dellers (Guest) - Friday 25th July 2025, 7:46 AM See two more team around us have spent several million on player, for the life of me cant see why we dont have same dosh to spend.
posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Friday 25th July 2025, 12:13 PM We have a lot of money to spend but if nobody in the squad leaves all we really need is a decent striker(one who consistently score goals) and perhaps a replacement for Pereira who despite all his running about produces very little. If we want people a cut above our usual player the budget could easily be spent of those two with perhaps another clever free transfer. The real money is not spent on transfer fees but on players wages. That is why even Chelsea have had to get shot of some of the surplus players, they cannot afford them as even when they go on loan they still pay a portion of their wages and the cost of any injuries. The transfer part of a footballer clubs cost is reality small in term of cost and activity, but fans see is as important as they nearly all feel we need better players at the expense of the ones we all ready have. We also seem at last to have some talented youngsters who want to play for us not one of the so called bigger team.
posted by The Time Is Now - Friday 25th July 2025, 12:44 PM Still a month to go! Marco is a quality rather than a quantity man. Some gems will come out of the woodwork in due course. Cast your minds back to a few years ago when gaining promotion under Slavisa. We bought at will. And look where it got us. Instant relegation! ( sounding a bit like Leeds are up to now?)

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Thursday 24th July 2025, 7:48 AM I think that it’s significant that Fulham have retained Tete, Cairney etc basically because the club is a happy ship. Imagine how Man U fans must feel as several top players there can’t wait to leave, and instead the club is forced to spend yet more big money. Having a happy ship means Marco can find missing pieces in the Fulham jigsaw, rather than rushing around under pressure telling players not to report for training because their mere presence is too disruptive!
posted by peterjeremy - Thursday 24th July 2025, 8:17 AM The transfer game isn't over yet so we can't judge too early. Yes we can put a half-full glass lens on and say we've done well so far securing these contracts. We can even look more positively sneaking over the fence and look at our neighbour Brentford. However, there's a price in bringing new players in late - they will miss large part of the pre-season and unless the player is super fit, it will be late Sept/Oct before they are fully integrated into the team. So I'd score us 6 out of 10 so far!

posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Wednesday 23rd July 2025, 2:08 PM If a lot of wealthy people buy these tickets we become a more wealthy club who can afford better players not half a dozen cheap o players what we have usually done. The most we have ever paid for a player is £35m which would seem a pittance to the Cubs who regularly play in the Championship league and have nearly three times the players budget to us. If we could start paying £50m and above for players our fortune will eventually change. Once you have squad full of very good players all you have to buy is replacements if you do not have a young player, Man City became a top team by improving their squad steadily and attracting better young players to their academy.

If we had a really proficient striker that would make a big difference. Somebody who can win games we do not deserve to win. That would turn us from a good team to a very good team. The other factor is it is 5 weeks from the closure of the window, so even if we only sign one player a week from now on we will look as if we have done well. We are the only team that has not made signings so what. We cannot afford the player the top teams get and we would not want the players the lower team buy and we are in big competition with the other teams for the rest of the players. The advantage we have is a manager who can turn £25m players into £50m one and that is a big advantage. It is also the way most of the big team became big using the same method

Do not care how old he is as long as he is good. Keepers have a longer shelf life than most players they do not have to run about as most other players.

And they will spend it wisely not lash out and pay what is asked like other teams do but try to get a reasonable price. They ask try to look our for the type of players others would not notice but who our excellent manager can improve greatly. If Muniz is really worth £55m, if he is that is down to clever considered buying and training and motivation from Marco. Some people when buying anything go to a shop and buy the best looking thing they see, others study what's available and what suits them best and where they can get it from then buy it. We are in the latter category when buying players. We will buy the best players that are available we can afford and we will not rush over it as the window does not close until September. So we might as well wait until September.
