I've scrolled twitter for Fulham news for about 5 mins, and I see way too many mentions for Elia to Fulham.

What really surprised me was seeing tons of West Ham fans in utter shock that Elia would choose us over them.

Quotes from twitter

"@BackPage @ELJERO17ELIA Fulham are nowhere near as big as West Ham ;) it's a step dwn for him

@NewsWHUFC @eljero17elia if he signs for fulham ahead of us or werder then I will eat salads every match day

@WHUFC_News fulham???? Seriously???"

AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?? Since when did Fulham become a lesser team compared to west ham who stayed more often in the Championship? It's as if we are a barnsley to them.   080.gif

well at present we are the more successful team and most likely to do well.
BUT You have to remember this has only happened over the last few years. I consider leeds etc to be bigger than us if you look at their history compared to ours.
Im not saying west ham at present are better but in general it really is not that wrong for them to think they are the bigger team (if you really look at it they are, bigger stadium, won cups, key stone to english footy over the years with lampard,cole,ferdinand,robinson...)

They also have far more supporters, which is evident both from Internet traffic and the numbers we respectively take away. I wouldn't swap allegiances, but they are the fourth biggest club in London on a long-terms basis by any of the conventional measures. Whether that matters to foreign players looking to come to London for a year or three is another matter, but if the poster wondered what he was missing, well that was what he was missing.

Maybe the 1/2 thing means he has completed his first of 2 medicals (1 with us, 1 with bremen)

They also won the World Cup of course - and don't let us forget it!!

not that im believing any of the hype but probably means half of our medical if indeed he is having one. we do the routine physical tests as half and then send them (used to be kingston hospital) for the more extensive scans bloods ecgs and the rest to a hospital/ private clinic

You certain it's his account? Verified?

Can't imagine a player with his experience saying that before the club announce it.

What are you saying here? Cryptic. Are you saying you don't rate Elia for fitting in with what we're trying to do?
