We need a right winger with genuine pace and a left back. If we get both of those then it’s been an unbelievable window considering where we were at when JDT first joined 

My housemates are Fulham fans and season ticket holders. From what it sounds like Fulham have quite a limited budget this summer and have had to be very strict on there transfer fees. Struggle to see paying you 15m with add ons 

On styles.

Interestingly a CM that Barnsley were set to loan from Burnley has been shifted to a perm deal. Could this be an indication of some money coming in from a potential Styles deal?

Asking about now, to see if anyone else heard his name. 

Appreciate the rumour and more importantly - change in topic 😂

Jamal Lewis possible loan interest, trying to get better source, dont know a lot about him.

that would be unreal…

Big game this. We need a win to kick us back into life, and following the 2nd half performance against Stoke, I think we will get it.

Id go with:

kaminski 

Carter Ayala Hyam

Buckley Travis Wharton Edun 

Hedges Dack Diaz 

A winger with pace, a striker and a left back. That’s where my expectations are at.

Hirst isn’t who I was hoping for but I am glad to see us sign a striker. 
 

On the positive side it’s a loan with an option to buy so no risk for us. Portsmouth fans seem to rate him very highly and he sounds like a great partner for Dack to play off. 

Personally not bothered about SVDB. Would be nice to have him as he is a quality player but I also believe Carter is ready for the championship and would like to see him get his chance. 
 

My hopes for the rest of window would be:

Out: Diaz (15m), Butterworth (loan/perm)

In: Birkimevic (5m), Styles (2m), bowler (3m)

oh fairs - Sharpe originally said it was 4. Yes that is a little odd 

Just now, J*B said:

One defender and one attacker left according to the sticker book

2 attacking signings if Diaz goes. Really hope we make plays for Bowler and Birkimevic

Glad to see the signing of Hyam wrapped up well in advance hopefully for his first start on Wednesday night.

A little surprised that its only a 3 year deal with no mention of an option.

Where is this from?

4 year deal no? 
 

mentioned in Sharpes article about Hyam signing 

sounds like SVDB is also set to be wrapped up. 2 very very good signings there

5 minute warning

I don’t think we need two centre backs. I trust Ayala, Phillips and Wharton and think Carter deserves his chance. I’ve no idea where we are playing them all. 

I agree with this. VanHecke is impossible to turn down tho

Another name I heard yesterday as one who we've looked at is George Hirst

He’s been rumoured for a while hasn’t he so could be a good shout. Not one I want personally tho

Must want to play 3 ATB

And yet after 3 matches people were saying how tactically he got it spot on - or are you saying he got it wrong in those matches ? If we had won today - people would be saying how good he was at adjusting his tactics.

Mourinho has history of massive tactical and personnel changes even before half time.

Let's give him a while before judging him. 

100%. I’ve seen enough of JDT too suggest we’ve got a goodun. People are expecting too much too quickly.

Everyone used to make out that Nyambe was injury prone but Brittain has been unavailable more often than he's been available thus far.

Weak looking starting X1, the saving graces Dack back in and BBD obviously not close to a move.

 

Isn’t this the first game he’s missed?

Something tells me we don’t agree personal terms with Hyam…

Something uve heard or just a hunch?

Concerned as to balance of defence,Wharton the only left footed c/b, and Pickering is woeful.

Left back is a problem for sure.

I wasn’t really away of Hyam when I heard the rumours yday however having looked into it, seems to be an incredible bit of business for 1.5m!

Statistically up there with the best in the championship both physically and in possession, never injured and experienced (but crucially yet to enter his prime as a CB). 

The Szmodics deal doesn’t convince me, however Brittain and Morton seem quality from what I’ve seen and I imagine Hyam will fit into the same bracket. If Phillips signs a new deal and we’re able to get a quality attacking addition, 2 if Diaz leaves, then I’m happy with our window. Though wished we had got eveything done earlier. 
 

There’s no need for 2 CBs IMO.

Jackson from Lancslive believes we are interested in Caulker.

Feels like a desperation signing.

100% a desperation signing. I was so positive as couple fo weeks ago but losing faith. 
 

lots of reports that Hyam is on his way to. Coventry sources saying bid has been accepted
