Why not use both of them?  You have Scotty to provide support, Fofana to go box to box, and then Ruiz to provide the magical touches further up the pitch.  Then play lvc or williams as the fourth MF.

All those magical touches ..against Brentford? Well, he did a great vanishing act.

What a lazy posting - if you have something to tell us post it here don't just link to another website - it could be porn for all I know
It could be better but it's real life and not a fantasy

I said use him further up the pitch.  He played RM against Brentford.

According the deal is a youth loan,anyone else heard of such a thing and does it mean only available for the u 21s?

EJL

Yeah, let's drop Ruiz for someone who has never played a senior game before.

I don't think it means that, I think it means the player is still on a youth contract.

For Forfana's sake he will not see the first team. Doubt he will see a squad. But good luck to him anyway.

I'd like to see him play, maybe give LVC a break or an alternative for the last 20 for ruiz and push LVC out to the right

Our formation needs to change. Playing ruiz on the right wing is no different from playing Holtby there last year. Probably worse because ruiz is slower.

Call me old fashioned but I'd either like 442 with Ruiz dropped because he doesn't fit in or 4411 with Ruiz behind a goalscorer. We play with no width and rely on a kid (williams), zverotic and stafylidis for deliveries into the box.  There doesn't seem to be a balance to our style and although results have improved, performances overall haven't. 

I'm not being negative, I like to think of it as trying to be realistic rather than manufacturing a formation to cram all our 'best players' in.

For me it's ruiz OR mcormack behind a goalscorer (Hugo for now). With two proper wide men and a defensive disciplined midfielder to give parker a bit more freedom. I prefer parker driving forward with the ball and I think he's wasted just sitting there helping out burn/bod.

I like ruiz but Ruiz needs to fit the team and not the team fit around him. Especially after paying the earth for mcormack.  I'm intrigued to see how good this lad from city is, it was only a few months ago twitter and this forum went wild for an Arsenal wonder kid who turned out to just be eisfeld. So ill reserve judgement and excitement until I've seen him in the flesh. I have no problem dropping ruiz for him if he turns out to be what we need though.

At least kit is trying to bring players in, January will tell us what our potential will be

Supporting Fulham isn't about winning, it's about belonging

From the Offal


Fulham's latest acquisition Seko Fofana is keen to contribute as much as possible to the Whites cause during his time in SW6.

The Manchester City midfielder arrived on loan on Thursday and will remain with Kit Symons' side until the end of January.

"I'm happy to be here," he told the official website. "It's a pleasure for me to be with a professional team, a professional squad and to be able to train every day with professional players, so I'm happy to be at Fulham.

"I want the team to win as many games as possible and I want to get as much game time as I can. We want to win a lot of games because we want to get promoted to the Premier League."

The 19-year-old France youth international – who is eligible to feature on Saturday at Brighton & Hove Albion – describes himself as "quick with the ball" and says one of his key attributes is his "good shooting accuracy."

And there was a familiar face for Fofana upon arriving at Motspur Park, as he had previously gone head-to-head with Moussa Dembélé in the French junior league when Lorient and Paris Saint-Germain played each other.

Our new recruit sought his compatriot's advice before making the move, and revealed he was told only positive things by the young striker.

"Before I came we spoke together and he told me good things about the Club," Fofana stated. "So that was another motivation to come, and I'm happy."

If we're gonna stick with this diamond formation, he should play alongside LVC, seems a good player for it.

Still want us to use a 4231.

Bettinelli
Grimmer Bodurov Burn Staf
LVC/Fofana Parker
Roberts Ruiz Williams
Mccormack

Would love to see that team

Once again, if he has never played for us, he's better than anyone we've got.

Perhaps he looks good on Teenage Ninja Turtles Manager 2015 or something.

it is odd how many people think that a player they have never seen is the saviour. this new man may be brilliant or he may not be, i have no idea, i hope he is good but we need to see him first.
i never saw smith play, so have no comment on him
i have seen ruiz so have an opinion, whether you agree or not is irelevant it is based on actually seeing him.
i also had the misfortune to see all of mitro's minutes for fulham and am thrilled he has left us based just on that.

but to imagine somebody we don't know and haven't seen is any good is amazing.

Doubt ManCity would have loaned him just to play in the under 21s, he could do that in Manchester. Regular sub for Ruiz or Parker is my guess, and a starter if there are injuries.
