Title: How many of the WBA players...
Post by: ChesterTheTabby on March 16, 2022, 12:08:44 AM
were playing like their careers depended on it tonight to impress Marco in hopes of being brought to Fulham when we're promoted? Wouldn't surprise me one bit that they can see their promotion chances fading, and many thought they could be good options, on the cheap, for Marco and Fulham in the Prem next year.

Easy answer, in my opinion. None.

None. Slightly arrogant view of things if you think everyone is chomping at the bit to join us.

Darnell Furlong, Matthew Clarke, Karlan Grant and Daryl Dike might be interesting as either premier league squad players or championship bench players. The price for each of them would have to be around £2-6m because they would only get on our PL bench with injuries. Sam Johnstone is the only player that could regularly make next season's first XI, but I don't think he is enough of an upgrade.

Perhaps it is, but when's the last time I was so confident and pumped about a Fulham squad having a genuine future ahead of itself with a top tier gaffer - been a while.

I think that people are underestimating how good they are at home

I had a feeling that game would be tough and our supports getting a little overconfident

This was always going to be a tough game.

I think West Brom are hoping  for a late surge into the Play-offs, after their  blip.

Top Tier Gaffer is yet unproven. He has the best squad and he knows how to beat teams when he has the better squad. Slavisa played in a way that the best team always won, which is great in the championship with one of the best half dozen squads, but not in the premier league. Next season, we will have the 17th best squad and if we only beat the bottom three teams then we go down.
