Fulham and West Ham United are interesting in signing the Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville, according to Sky Sports News.
Leeds have already entered into discussions with the Hammers regarding a proposed permanent transfer, but both clubs are currently too far apart. Fulham have been tracking the 22 year-old for the best part of two years and, with Somerville into the last two years of his contract at Elland Road, there could be potential for a deal.
Somerville won the Championship of player of the year award last term, scoring 21 goals and making ten more before Daniel Farke’s side were beaten by Southampton in the play-off final.
Nothing is going to happen here !!.Tony Khan is going to offer a small fee and will be rejected again !!°.
Agree! Yet again, Marco Silva goes into his 2nd week of pre-season without a single signing. How much longer will he put up with it? He moans about it every summer but still puts up with it. Maybe he is gullible enough to believe the BS they feed him every day.
We will probably make a raft of late signings, on the cheap, that are nowhere near good enough to improve the team. Then Willian will be offered more money and the club will make a huge deal about re-signing him.
Same old, same old!
Tonys team have their work cut out, as several teams in Prem and abroad are looking to bolster the same positions as ourselves. Hence, a premium appearing for ESR, who is a good player but has never played a full season due to injury liability. Thus expensive risk. McT more robust again probably 20% over premium. Tricky!!
We’re going after players we can’t get competing with bigger teams than us while the teams that we should be Ipswich Southampton etc pick up good players
If it’s true Fulham have been tracking this guy for 2 years, how is it West Ham make the first offer?
Too little too late, sounds like Fulham!
Players will turn up. They simply have to. But this uncoordinated, scattergun, late, on the cheap, random approach to who we want to sign has to stop. Marco must be going mental. The damage it does to us as a brand to attract players in the first place or encourage ambitious players to stay COSTS US more than any prospect of saving a few million. This isn’t good business sense or football sense. Everyone knows we haven’t got loads of cash (although pocketed nearly £100m off Palhinia and Mitro) which is why we should be very targetted in what we do and if someone is interested in coming then do it. If you pay £3m too much, who cares, he wants to play for us and Silva will add that back to his value and some within a few weeks.
When Marco finally gets sick of it and goes, if we don’t have another genius in, then we will struggle. As it is we’re already relying on Marcos ability to quickly integrate and build a team yet again. It’s not good enough.
Why is everyone panicking? Nobody knows what’s really going on: it’s just hacks looking for copy churning the same old stories. So ‘same old Fulham’ is it who got Pereira, Palhinha, Willian, Muniz, Leno, Bassey, Iwobi, etc. Every club has to be more careful and in a climate of FFP and PSR recruiting is a delicate business: no club wants to pay the inflated prices that Arsenal, Man Utd etc. are asking. In the end we got Leno for a ridiculously low price. All of the above excellent business by the Khan’s and Marco, who knows the score!
what rumour next
KDB for 9 million quid
Tony Khan has wasted opportunities to bring in players of quality because he has no understanding of football, he shouldn’t be in charge of selling raffle tickets. He offers insultingly low fees and expects clubs to accept them. We are always to late or to low to buy any decent players. Transfers dealings with Khan are chaotic and embarrassing. Look at the Andre farce either buy him or go elsewhere. There have been plenty of quality players available like Hojbjerg and Rodon but no, missed any chance. I fear we will grab a few journeymen players who are below premiership level like we did before and we went down..
It’s a good thing Tonkey doesn’t depend on his hunting skills to survive in the wild. He would be tracking a deer for years only to see it run away when about to squeeze the trigger. Survival of the fittest and he would starve. Daddy Khan is the real problem, allowing his useless son and Teflon to play with the Club’s future, as he does.
1 year to get Andre to join. Still not happened. We knew 2 months before the end of the season that Tosin was going. No replacement. Why does everything take so long with us.
We keep dragging our feet over small amounts ( in todays terms ) yet we eagerly gave the filth £5 million for nothing last season. .
With Marco in demand again, this year more than others I fear that delays in securing quality players/replacements may trigger him to consider leaving. I can only hope that he is close to the decision making and not an outsider just waiting for Mr Khan to tell him what’s not happening. I hope that by the end of this week we will see on Club site, confirmation of signings rather that continuing to follow in press.
TK could not even buy small town boy 6” by Jimmy Somerville let alone the real thing from Leeds United. Nobody needs to worry we will not be getting the aforementioned player from Leeds.
I agree with what everyone else has said about TK-the guy is inept.
Marco Silva is a quality leader and coach. I think he can manage. His ability is resurgent some under perforamce players like Andreas Periera, who played very well last two seasons. He had been given by Man U before.
I mean, if true, it’s about time. Was obvious this guy was worth signing a year ago.
Daddy Khan needs to get shot of that excuse of a son Tonkey and replace him with someone who knows what he’s doing.
Why do you keep copying transfer rumours why not just wait until something happens all you do is write shit
Yet again it’ll be too late to integrate anyone into the squad before the season starts, so we’ll be on the back foot again before we even begin.
The higher up you finish in the Premiership the more money you get, so why doesn’t Tony look up instead of down.
A better outlook would be to speculate to accumulate rather than bargain buy your way to the EFL.
In answer to the question about panicking I would say that:
What is at stake are points and keeping Marco, plus the FFP issue is not what it was last year, it is less of a shackle and should not be waved as a factor.
If we have a manager that gets his players in earlier that the transfer deadline then we have manager who is contented because he is on the record as saying it is highly important to him. This Marco stays.
Points lost early doors cannot be made up. Add even ten to last year’s haul and we are far better off. (Hopefully with no AFCON we should be better placed, too).
COTK be the man who enables us to shout COYW with hope not frustration at the start of a new season!!
