http://charlesjonessports.com/2017/07/31/fulham-still-awaiting-decisions-from-two-players/ I honestly wouldn't sign Rolan now

I don't understand this. He has premier leauge interest in him so why would he sign for a championship club, Every player wants to play at the highest level they can. I don't blame him for wanting to pursue a potentially better option.
You need to look at things from his point of view not a Fulham fans point of view.

Well do we care what his ambition is? I don't but I do care about ours. Let's move on and go for a player who wants to play and we can actually get hold of. Rolan may be be a Prem player and he clearly doesn't want to play at Fulham. Not sure what his reason to come here now would be? Move on he really isn't worth the hassle.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

I haven't spoken much on the Rolan thing, but you summed it up pretty well. In a world cup year he's clearly going to want to stand as good a chance as any to represent his nation as I think we all would, as well as play at the highest level because a footballers career is short, and the Premier League is highly illustrious so I think that if it happens then and we sign him then great, but if he goes elsewhere then good luck to him.

i agree completely. people are getting ambition confused with thinking they dont want to play for us. i still think this will come off for us and we will have one hell of a player on our hands

Re Rolan: As I said, I think hes ours as long as EPL/La Liga come in for him. I don't think him holding out for it is a bad thing or a character assassination point. Sounds like hes accessed up to the point where hes said 'im yours as long as no one of higher profile comes in' which, to be fair, is a no brainer.

I don't care either way that a player wants to take their time getting the best possible transfer/loan to meet their ambitions.  I do care if it means that our transfer dealings are stalled at a time when we urgently need to finalize our signings.
