The Fulhamish Summer Round-Up - Issue 3
The shadow of Saudi, and swotting the Bees in Philly - the summer continues unabated.
So, since the last time we spoke, the summer’s got a bit more… shall we say testing?
It looks like Mitrovic is determined to undo five years of legacy building to chase the Saudi millions, while Marco Silva looks to be showing a steelier resolve. If we were pushed to let one go, I suspect at this stage we’d want to keep the man who’s transformed our club since his arrival - he’s a gee-nee-us after all…
It’s not all doom and gloom. We picked up a win against Brentford in the opening game of the Premier League Summer Series, thanks to goals from Harry Wilson, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Carlos Vinicius, giving hope that the post-Mitro era might not be so bleak.
As for new signings… well, there are still none. Well, no new ones anyway. We should, however, show our appreciation to Willian, who snubbed offers elsewhere to stay in SW6 for another season. If he shows the same magic he did last term, it’s a key piece of business.
It looks like Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is imminent, while Ajax defender Calvin Bassey also appears to be on his way. The sooner, the better. For better or worse, we want to tie a bow around the biggest sagas of the summer before we head to Goodison Park on 12 August. You Whites.
