If its them two plus Dewsbury-Hall and Ndidi. We probably need one more box to box midfielder and it wouldn't be bad for the championship. 

 

Then we need to get the wide players because we will need at least 3 of them. 

If these reported signings all come off, then I can see a midfield three of Winks - KDH - Cairney for the upcoming season. 
 

If Maresca goes 3-4-1-2, then I see Cairney being the more advanced midfielder.

 

If that ends up being the case, I don’t really see any proper wingers coming in. 
 

We may go for players like Chair for example, who are more versatile, could easily fit into a 3-4-1-2, but could move out to the left-wing if we do change formation. Joel Piroe would be of similar nature, mainly a striker, but has played wide right for Swansea a few times.

We still need a wide option, especially if Barnes leaves. Even if it's just a plan B.

Are we signing footballers or porn stars...asking for a friend.  

When you have a manager who looks like Johnny Sins, then anything is possible.

If its 3 at the back, who's play the LCB role? I think we'll play a dynamic 4-2-3-1 system but I maybe wrong.

[STUHILL]

Thought he was brilliant some years ago and Fulham fans rate him highly. 

 

They have the option of extending his contract another year and I expect they will, as he played 32 games last season. 

 

Suspect this is his agent talking to get him a better/longer deal. 

 

Imagine it was always Winks we were most serious about.

I’d get rid of Faes and get in someone new, someone preferably left footed or someone with experience of playing on the left, Ronnie Edwards being a fair example.

 

I’m just not sure a four with Coady partnering Souttar will work, especially if we continue with a high line. Teams will just sit back, then exploit their lack of pace with counter attacks. Coady in the middle of a back three, with more mobility and pace around him just seems more ideal to me, if that means leaving Souttar out, so be it.

Wasn’t the Hull player we were linked with a good LCB?

Yes, big fan of Greaves.

[Happy Fox]

Could be the Praet replacement?

[filbertway]

Coming to end of career ... check

Surplus to requirements in premier league ... check

Likely to cost £5-10 million... check

Waiting for Fulham to get signings in before this will happen.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if we turned our attention elsewhere if it drags on too long.

[ConnFoxUS]

Well, he just went down with a leg injury (untouched) in Fulham’s friendly against Chelsea, so I’d say we should have the transfer finalized by tomorrow. 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Gosh, even the prospect of going to Seagrave is enough to get injured these days

[Pliskin]

Apparently he’s won more man of the matches (votes by Fulham fans) over the last few seasons than any other player. He is clearly well liked there.

Casadei clearly desperate to join us so got the word out to his mates to crop him to leave his path to us unchallenged…

Did he play much today? Seen he dropped out of the starting 11 

[The Blur]

Starting for Fulham as captain today.   Seen some murmurs of Cairney being an option if we wanted additional cover but I think we can pretty much rule it out now.
