RowlattsFox Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Jeez, signings were more exciting in the championship. Versatility is about the only positive I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slymunn Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July (edited) This is like most of the signings we have had links to so far. Solid enough player, but nothing really exciting and within a similar budget to last season. If it was something like the following for the kind of fees mentioned (40 million ish?) Then it covers most of the squad gaps we have. It's just if they are good enough to keep us in the prem.

Devonfox1884 Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Not inspiring, but we need a squad and on a free a versatile player like this is a smart acquisition. The fact Fulham wanted to keep him probably for the same role speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Don't mind the signing at all tbh but it's a stark reminder that decisions made 2 years ago by the club have set us back about ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July (edited) As long as it isn’t a stupid contract then I am alright with this with him being a squad player Just off the back of a good season with Fulham as a squad player - 6 goals and 2 assists in 1,423 minutes (15.8 90s) - goal contribution every 155 minutes VERY versatile Doesn’t appear to have any previous serious injury issues and over the last 10 seasons has pretty much always been available for his clubs Also IF we do get relegated then I think he would be a very good player for us to have in the Championship Realistically we can’t be buying every player - we need at least a couple of smart free signings like this (Sergi Cardona next please ) Edited 5 July by moore_94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think if we'd been relegated in the exact same manner, minus the FFP stuff, we'd have had a huge springboard and been able to get back to where we were a lot quicker. Wouldn't have had a lot of lasting damage. Unfortunately, I think even your 10 years is optimistic. All if, buts and maybes, but if we have got CL in both seasons, we'd have bridges the gap to the top 6 massively (assuming the board actually capitalised on it commercially speaking) and a bad season would have been finishing 10th or so. Think that's never going to happen now, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July He's OK. Fingers crossed the fact he's turned down Fulham for us is reflective of a desire for a new challenge rather than us having made a stupid offer. My suspicion is he ends up playing right wing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Pen Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Good honest hard working pro! He isn’t the best finisher but will put in a shift from what Ives seen of him which is what’s going to be needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scinnell Posted 5 July Popular Post Share Posted 5 July The state of this forum sometimes. Winning the league was amazing, but the expectation level from people now is ridiculous. Good signing, versatile, free and most importantly another body in our thin squad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July (edited) This is one of those sensible signings that most will spit at because they think he’s beneath us, yet he’s been a constant for Fulham for a while, regularly in and around the starting 11, and has experience. I’d say he’s probably a Albrighton type of character but a bit more dynamic. Edited 5 July by Pliskin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldeagle Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Think people are forgetting we’re currently having to shop in the scraps bin . Point deduction and PSR means we’ve got to be careful this ain’t bad at all as a squad player on a free . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Willing to give everyone a fair crack, but this is shaping up to be a really terrible summer for the club. Losing the manager and KDH, to getting in cooper, a kid that’s never played, a centre back that doesn’t seem to be rated and essentially a worse version of ayoze Perez is making me dread this season. Feels like we’ve significantly regressed from where we were 6 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
