It looks like the average expectation of our finishing spot is 15th/16th - which strikes me as realistic rather than gloomy.
So far people seem to think it will be just 2/3 signings which I guess is about par for the course for the January window.
When we talk about the most underrated player it begs the question "Underrated by who?". This has troubled me for a while because, if we are talking about our own fans, the fact that about 90% of them consider Hughes to be most underrated then he obviously isn't, if you get my drift. If we are talking about the media generally there are only two or three of our players who ever get an acknowledgement anyway.
I think it's a bunny and pancake situation. :airfix: :023:
That's a fair assessment, Mr. SS. To me "underrated" refers to a player who is the 4th or 5th person a knowledgable fan thinks of when they think of the club. I'm guessing that such a person [not a Fulham supporter, per se] when asked about Fulham players would probably come up with Zamora, Dempsey, Davies, Hangeland, Scwharzer, and Murphy before he'd come up with Hughes. And yet, Fulham fans know that we're still in the Prem largely because of the Hangeland-Hughes axis.
