The Pravda accounts on Facebook and Twitter have been sending out some cringe-worthy stuff since promotion.



But also some good stuff as well to be fair.....

I accept it’s all paper bollocks but I like the thought of us raiding every single championship club that’s wronged us over the past 3 years.

I’m picturing that assassination montage at the end of godfather.

Raiding the clubs they had left behind in the Championship was Fulham's tactic twelve months ago. They spent a fortune doing it and went down with barely a whimper.

We made an enquiry about Cresswell but West Ham having non of it apparently.

Didn't he choose West Ham over Villa when he left Ipswich? Not that it should stop us signing him if he is who we want.

They are doing their job by doing some sabre-rattling and back in the big time boasting. That is pretty much what those mediums are there for. But it isn't for me so I tend to avoid most club Twitter or Facebook stuff.

All quiet on the western front today!

Strangely so.

Calm before the storm maybe?

The season only finished last week so things will be quiet.

I am just happy we have released the players we have - partly for the recognition that they won't cut it in the top flight but mainly because the lack of sentimentality and speed of action suggests we have been doing some actual long term planning.

Fulham only signed one player from a team in the Championship that season - Joe Bryan.

The two transfers of recent years that I was most worried about when they happened were Kalinic and McCormack. In both cases it was because it felt like we had perhaps overpaid for them, because they aren't young but hadn't yet made the step up to one of the big top-flight leagues, and because the thought process seemed a bit lazy. Kalinic was someone we had been linked with before, and I couldn't work out why we were going back again. McCormack was the 'Championship goal machine' and had transferred for big money before, but had actually only scored regularly for a couple of isolated seasons. Going back further I was worried about Gestede for similar reasons.

In Kodjia, Hogan, Gestede and McCormack didn't we buy most of the Championships top scorers over the last few seasons?

I think Tavarnier would be a decent signing and wouldn't cost much, so it'd be low risk.

Then get Tierney from Celtic please.

Alfredo Morelos scores a lot of goals also and Rangers might want to get rid as he is a hit of a hothead tbf. Still very young though, could be picked up cheaply I think.

Even Scott Sinclair gets a few up there.
