Having a medical at Fulham. Great signing, surely they’re top two.

Have they learned how to defend yet?

I think they'll be ok at this level as they'll have about 70% of the ball and have the same defence that got them to 3rd 2 seasons ago.

That's a great signing on loan.

They will be dangerous this season and I can see us both fighting it out again

Would have been a great signing for us. I know he’s struggled with Injuries last season but the fella is a live wire and, when fit, will destroy defences.

He is good.. I think when Fulham loans went back, particularly Targett and Norwood, they didn’t replace them with better. Schurlle wasn’t the answer, so it’ll be interesting to see how they do.

Fulham have a huge problem that won't be fixed easily.

Top 2...... Yet top 10 last season according to some. I think they will struggle myself.

Should be a great signing for them, capable of being the difference when it matters. Fulham will be right up there imo

Re: Knockaert

They will struggle. Bloated and expensive squad of players who think they're better than they are.

Why anyone thinks Fulham will be anywhere close to trip 2 is beyond me. Awful defence, mediocre midfield and their best player in Mitrovic will likely be injured/banned for at least a quarter of the season.

They are doing exactly what they did last season get in loan players hoping get promotion then what Buy the loanees like did last season? They are not boosting their defence which we all know was their Achilles heel.. mitrovic good scorer but was there last season still didn't catch us who didnt have scorer like him.! Be up there but fall short :old:

Don't agree I'm afraid.

Defence is not great but was good enough to get them promoted last time they were in the Championship.

Cairney miles better than all of our midfield put together and Mitrovic will score more in one season than all of our current strikers put together.

And Sessegnon may not have set the Premier League alight but in this division he is a quality player.

Any of those three would walk straight into our first team.

But our back 4 and keeper would walk in to theirs.

Agree with that but they must have at least a good chance as us of getting promoted this year.

With the goals he scored last season we would have stayed up comfortably if he played for us.

Any striker who could score ten goals would been enough especially if could hold ball a fraction better than niasse ! But agree had him we stay up :thumbup:

We shall see but I dont see them getting any higher than 10th they are about par with the Jacks both mid table squads with inexperienced managers.

Fulham.. no higher than 10th??? :lol: :lol:

They are way ahead of Swansea!

They are ahead of us too, but that could change IF we sign a forward who knows where the back of the net is and a dominant midfielder.

So a team that finished below us the last 2 seasons is above us. Jog on I bet you were one of the deledued people who were bumming them because of the media hype at the start of last season too :lol:

Let’s also not forget we have one the greatest championship managers of all time and Fulham has somebody who has never managed in it. I swear some of fans secretly want us to be crap.

Crazy the amount of people writing Fulham off. They’ll be right up there.

Re: Knockaert

I see this has made the Fulham fans on Twitter even more unbearable than two seasons ago.

They've started early with the high and mighty attitude.

Re: Knockaert

Sun Jul 21, 2019 6:20 pm

Hes a good championship player but blows hot cold, But why are they going down same route as last season are they going to spend another £100m to replace the loanees if they go up? I'm not sure they will go up auto or even top 6 as championship is even more competitive this season.. :old:

Crazy amount of people overating them as shall be proven come the end of the season.

Re: Knockaert

Mon Jul 22, 2019 8:07 am

players can always be replaced of course, but they had Fredericks and Targett as the full/wing backs last time they went up those two players made a massive difference, and meant they pushed sessengon further up the pitch.

Hes got a big season ahead of him, because despite his age a lot of people were expecting good things from him in the prem.

I think fulham will be up there, keeeping Mitrovic is a big plus for them in this division
