The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Greenfield Wolf]

Until Scott puts in a transfer request this is exactly the position Bristol are in.

I’ve been told he may well just being that very soon.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wouldn’t surprise me as I think he wants to come here big style.

EXCL: Fulham are in talks to sign Raúl Jiménez. He’s concrete option being considered as new striker.

Negotiations are taking place, waiting to understand Marco Silva’s decision on Al Ahli proposal.

Jiménez, in the list also because Mitrović wants Al Hilal move.

That would certainly change our bargaining power, but they may just dig their heels in until the end of the window.

Be a bit of a let off if we even manage to get a fee for him too.

Makes me sad though

 

[The Bear]

If Fulham are replacing Mitrovic with Jimenez they're going to be very disappointed.

 

[Alan]

What do we expect the fee to be?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

What do we expect the fee to be?

5mill?

If they're getting 40mil for Mitro?

 

[The Bear]

If its more than £5m I'll be surprised. I wouldn't want to be paying any more than that for him after his last couple of seasons.

 

[sycophantia]

I know its ridiculously sentimental and selfish of me but I'd much prefer Raul went to Saudi or MLS rather than gain some form back and do well for another Prem team.

 

[Lycan]

I take it the bit about Marco Silva means Raúl won't go to Fulham if Silva goes to Saudi?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If we paid £5m for a 32 year old striker who last scored a league goal in March 2022 I don't think the reaction would be positive.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’d be happy to just get rid of the £5-£6m left on his contract. Was expecting to have to subsidise wages to wherever he ended up

No it wouldn't. But the profile and opinion of Raul outside the club is much higher than from us.

Also, Cresswell at apparently 5million.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't most sources have Cresswell down as half that?

The two aren't connected, what we've seen from Raul over the last 12 months suggests he's no kind of option and any sale is good business especially as he's on huge money, whether Cresswell is a good or bad idea in a different position is another question.

 

[SSB]

A couple of times we've recently played Fulham at Craven Cottage Jiménez has gone over to the home stand after the game to chat with presumable friends/family. Wouldn't be surprised with the move.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Perhaps we could do a "Buy Raul, Get Jonny free" deal with Flum?

If Fulham want him they clearly think he will be good enough for them in the Premier League so we should be trying to get a fee that represents that. Regardless of what we think.

Liam saying deal done for Raul, £5m plus add ons

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Or they just walk away and sign someone else, and we're stuck with a player we don't want on silly money.

People are being totally unrealistic with valuations of our players lately. That argument doesn't even hold if you're slating the idea of signing Cresswell for £5m (not that I think he'll cost that), if our manager wants him and thinks he's good enough then surely we just pay it without question.
