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.

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!!!

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.

posted by Glamour Prince. (Guest) - Friday 08th August 2025, 10:38 PM 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.

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.

posted by OWEN - Friday 08th August 2025, 8:38 PM Owen, I originally said that Mitrovic might well return Cottage, his spiritual home, once his time in Saudi finished. If my memory serves me correctly you said that was an interesting assumption. Plagiarism?
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 08th August 2025, 9:18 PM 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.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Friday 08th August 2025, 9:21 PM 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. Bring back the big man Mitrovic and make him captain i say...

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.

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
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 07th August 2025, 7:20 AM It appears we have made a bid for a forward and a winger. If true these are serious players. We have obviously have tried to get experienced PL players but now have had to go further afield.

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 .
posted by davidk (Guest) - Friday 08th August 2025, 1:11 AM 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.

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.

Robinson to Manure United, is almost laughable, as even Jedi, would lower his sights that low.

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.

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.

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.
