Brentford appear keen to batten down the hatches from Nfkjasfas's blog

Fulham remain in a state of relative paralysis on the eve of the new season. There has been an atypical lack of transfer wheeling and FC 24 Coins dealing at Craven Cottage.

Unfortunately for them, head coach Marco Silva and star men Aleksandar Mitrović and Willian have all been targeted by head-swivelling Saudi Arabian cash in recent weeks. Silva is the most likely to remain in place – and most important figure to retain – but its not an ideal situation and could rumble all the way to deadline day. 

In Ivan Toneys absence, Brentford appear keen to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm. He is out until January 2024 after being charged with breaches of The FAs gambling rules, yet Brentford have not signed a direct replacement. 

Nathan Collins is an astute defensive pick-up, especially as his signature further depletes potential rivals Wolves, and could be a signal that Brentford are aiming to tighten up and eke out victories rather than open up to blow teams away. Tight.

All the cash, nowhere to splash. The Hammers effective negotiators extracted £100 million from Arsenal for Declan Rice – and a further £35m for Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Vlašić combined – but the lengthy negotiations have hampered their ability to sign replacements.

Finally, it seems Edson Álvarez, James Ward-Prowse and Harry Maguire are on the way to fill the void and beef up the spine of the team. Lucas Paquetá could enjoy a massive season as West Hams key playmaker cheap EA FC 24 Coins, but their hopes of doing more than making up the numbers depends on Michail Antonio hitting a purple patch. Functional.
