Title: Mitrovic, Pereira and Willian
Post by: C Block on October 29, 2026, 06:30:13 PM
Just imagine our season now if we'd replaced those three when they left 😞
I'm fairly certain we still haven't replaced Jay Stansfield yet let alone the others.

Robinson in particular must miss Willian, their link up play was excellent.

True, Willian and Antonee were a good combo, but Antonee's best season was the 24-25 season when he was playing alongside Iwobi for much of the season (Willian came back in January that season and played under 300 minutes).

My god you're stooping low if you're now bringing up Jay Stansfield to have a moan, a player who didn't do that much for us before we completely mugged Birmingham off when we sold him to them

Only by the completely ignorant, not by anyone who understands football, he would walk into this current squad.

23 goals and 3 assists two seasons ago
11 goals and 6 assists last season
If only we had a player with figures like that,
Hardly fits the bill of "mugging" Birmingham off does it 😟

of those 23 goals in league 1, 9 of them were penalties and he was playing for the best team in the league so 14 from open play is fairly poor, and last season 2 of those goals were penalties so 9 from open play in 46 is basically AK47 levels of output which is again pretty poor, he wouldn't even make the matchday squad if he were still here

Me too, his was basicially the assister to every assist we ever had. And because of that, it was stats that did him in. There's nothing for the assist assister, no metric records that. Nd his ability to lead a press was second to none. I miss pereira.

Ha ha ha, come on C Block, that's ridiculous. Jay is and always was a hard working little player, but we don't miss the guy and the £15m + we got was way too good to turn down.
You quote his goals, you know they're from the lower leagues?

So funny the Stansfield mention, he wouldn't even get in our squad now and rightly so, still can't believe we got that fee for him and Birmingham fans last season were saying we had their pants down.

Andreas Pereira was a good player and over criticised by Fulham fans but would he start over King now probably not...

I think him, king and bobb would of been a awesome trio.

Miss Mitrovic so much.

Such a throwback striker and just someone you could really trust in that Fulham side that it just took one chance

Completely agree - he had it all, strength, power, speed over a short distance, good in the air, speed of thought.

He was nightmare for defenders, with his strength and desire, he  could win headers, had close control in the box, and, importantly -knew where the goal was.

But he was outstanding, imagine how we'd be with him now, would likely be in the top half of the table, after all we are creating plenty of chances, and are far more solid at the back than at the start of the season.

A reply like that is fine James, except for the fact that you failed to tell us who has come into the squad that has replaced Stansfield?
JKA perhaps, Garcia, maybe
I've not stated we are missing Stansfield or Pereira or Mitrovic, but I am stating that we certainly haven't replaced them to an adequate level, not by a long chalk.

I think the biggest point on stansfield is he was never really integrated into our squad, so wasn't ever really taking a spot,

It was kind of down to our U21 squad to replace him more than our first team. So like Godo (EDIT - Zepa not godo) replaced him.
