It's a No from me!
n o
Nope - been there, done that.
Don't see him as a box to box type midfielder. We have better technical No10 position players. Don't see it personally but difficult to second guess football transfers nowadays.
No
What matters is what Silva wants.
No. His last cameo was terrible and lacked any effort or passion. Luckily it's all meaningless. He would never come to Fulham and we most certainly would never want him back
I've already said my piece in the transfers thread, but I'm a Yes.
Playing well for AC Milan at the moment and placed in all types of positions. Has been through three managers and still fitting in future plans throughout. The transfer availability is a bit of a surprise to me.
Could care less about last time. Completely different situation with coming off a serious injury and we were used to work towards that rehabilitation. Don't need him to tap the badge, not his style. Doesn't get too high emotionally or too low. Builds depth behind Lukic and can play outside mid in defensive setups. He can progress the ball, has good vision, good height and can find the back of the net. I don't see why he'd not be an option to be considered.
With that said, doubt he'd come to Fulham after being at Milan. Can we have Modric? ::tongue::
No thanks. When he was with us last time I called him Leftus-Quick.
100% no!
One of the worst players I've seen in a Fulham shirt in the last 20 years
It's a hesitant 'yes' from me.
He didn't work for us last time, but neither did loads of quality players. Scott Parker did not know how to use our excellent squad, and I don't really blame RLC for his part in our relegation.
If Marco wants him, I think he'd suit our current team. He's been decent for Milan, knows the club/league, and we aren't exactly stacked at CM right now...
Apologies Matt 10 - I always respect and read your insights because they are quality . In this case I can respect and even believe what you think of his skill set etc . However perhaps what you couldn't see from watching the various broadcasts when he was playing for us was his demeanour . You encapsulated an element of it with your comment
" With that said, doubt he'd come to Fulham after being at Milan"
He looked like he hated being at Fulham - that we were beneath him. You don't have to " kiss the badge " but you do have to respect the club that are paying ( some ) of your wages and getting you back to match fitness.
Even if you couldn't care less about the club and fans you have teammates that you also need to respect.
I could never forgive him for his attitude - so it will always be a " no " from me - regardless of of his talent
I think he's been decent for Milan. That being said, he might be more suited to Serie A than to PL. I still think he's overrated as well and always has been.
I also think he'd need to play extremely well in pretty much every game to turn over the Fulham fanbase.
100% no for so many reasons.

Yeah you make a good point, I never noticed the attitude issues because I'm just given access from afar through filtered lens.
It's also been almost 5 years. I know he had an Achilles injury, which is one of the absolute worse ones to go through. I am going through it myself and know it makes me extremely timid to go in 100%. Like any injury, the mental issues that stem from this type of injury is brutal. I've torn my ACL in the past as well and I'd gladly trade that over an Achilles injury.
However, yes, respect to the teammates and fans - sure. I don't know, or can't remember, any specific incidents, but of course that would leave a sour taste. I'd respect him for coming here and trying his best to do right though.
Why do we need him🤔
Not until hell freezes over!
No - is a chum signing
I've heard he makes a decent cuppa tea
Wasn't he called up to England under Tuchel? He can't be that bad, I haven't followed him very closely though. I just remember how much stick Lookman got and his career really took off after leaving, so not going to take too much from RLC's time here (he was very poor).
He does have the right profile though, box to box midfielder with a bit more attacking nous than Lukic.

He has 1 goal and 1 assist this season. Lukic has a goal and 2 assists (2 goals in all competitions as well, he scored against Newcastle in the cup too). No goals or assists in the two season before this. He had 6 goals and 1 assist in his best season, numbers wise, in Italy, Lukic had 5 goals and 4 assists in his best season, numbers wise, in Italy, while playing for a weaker team.
He'll be 30 next Friday, ladies and gentlemen!!!
Even if he'd been brilliant in his previous spell why would anyone want to sign a 30yo to play in the most physically demanding position on a football team?
No resale value whatsoever

Okay, you've convinced me. No from me as well.
Not with King back from injury, Cairney still showing his worth and ESR in form
No, never liked him.
He is no better than Lukic and we should be giving King as much playing time as possible... when he is fit of course...
No from me...
COYW
No.
Not under any circumstances would I want him back in a Fulham shirt so a definite NO from me.
No chance!
He's not as good as what we've got so would just worsen the squad. Big no from me.
Once upon a time he was a good prospect.
However he didn't do himself any favours when he came on loan before.
Something about his application, motivation, body language and desire was not what you would expect from any player let alone a professional.
Certainly didn't do himself any favours.
But Marco may see it differently and have other ideas.
But there is still a huge but.
100% no.
Even if he's a better player now he almost certainly doesn't want to come back. And if he does... there would have to be something seriously wrong inside his head if he wants to come back here after his disgraceful attitude last time. A player with such a lack of personal insight isn't something we want to deal with in our squad IMO.
So basically, the way I see it, he either doesn't want to come back (which is the most likely scenario) or he must be mentally unhinged (which I have no reason to suspect).
Either way it's 100% no for me.
I figured he'd retired by now
