I for one am pleased that Harry Wilson will remain at Fulham, at least it means the squad now has more options. Seems to make sense that you do not burn all your boats and that you wait to see how the new arrivals work out, particularly as they failed to sign George and Nelson.

In the end, it was a really good transfer window for us, with our new additions, and apart from a couple of unwanted squad players, we have kept the team together, which should put us in for a European challenge again this season. One thing that comes to mind though, as there is plenty of criticism about our club scouts, but this time they have struck oil, as somebody must have scouted, Kevin, Chukwueze, and Kusi-Asare,they didn't just magically appear. Who had ever heard of Kusi-Asare, had you. So providing they turn out to be really good players, it's a big well done all round.

Not sure how anyone could think it was a good transfer window, all media outlets including sky sports now suggest we had a really poor window and look likely to have a tough season. The Wilson debacle was a disgrace and our poor net spend and investment in the playing squad is a deep concern. Supporters need to look at the facts and not pontificate on how good Kevin might be or become. Notwithstanding an 18 year old Swede and Chukwueze are loan only.

We cannot stand still our performances on the pitch in the second half of last season and the start of this season demonstrate this.

I can only agree with the positive sentiments expressed here: that we had a good window, both signing the targeted players AND keeping Harry Wilson (that was never ‘a disgrace’). But I did notice in a summary in this morning’s Guardian that Fulham could more likely regarded as ‘Window losers’. With so many clubs (Crystal Palace, Man U, Newcastle, Brentford etc) being torn apart with player’s antics, it’s nice to see Fulham manage to keep the squad happy. Must be encouraging to the players just joining. We are the window winners.

We had a good squad but lacked consistent goal scorers and we seem to have brought 3 of those which seems to me good. When you have a good squad and lose few of them all you need to do is improve it and that seems to be what we have done. Of course scoring in the Premier is more difficult than in any other league in the World. As a matter of course we see in every game defenders blocking shot and keepers saving them. Watch a Championship game and look how poor their defences seem in comparison, it is not just the quality of the players that is better it is the managers and all the support staff. Our new goal scores will have to come to terms with that. The tall young striker is the one I am looking forward to seeing, I think we have real bargain in him.

I have to agree with you Mortlake Harry is a player who can change the game with a great piece of skill and he has scored some great goals for us his energy and enthusiasm is first class and I think he will be much needed throughout the season especially when a lot of our players are away for the African Nations championship

Apart from bees supporters, I can't think of anyone that I have taken an instant dislike too, as Mr Angry as I done, as he is in fact must be a bees supporter, as no Fulham supporter in their right senses, would think that we had a poor transfer window. All this nonsense from Sky, or any other media reports, are talking absolute garbage, and they should be concentrating on so called big clubs, like Newcastle and Manure United, who have come off far worse than us. Mr Angry, you are just a wind up merchant, and you are winding me up, every time I see your rubbish postings.

My wife has been complaining about Harry Wilson this season and with typical female logic, I think she fancies him and she only has one compliant that I do not think anyone would guess, she is upset that he is not wearing red boots this year, she says the red boots made it easier to make out which one he is when on the other side of the pitch. When I told her there had been a transfer rumor she goes, 'No, not Harry'.
