And no-one is going to beat his penalty record for us anytime soon

But he (probably) can't keep this 100% spot kick record record going forever.

Maybe it's time for him to leave while on top and get somebody else to take the pens (though tbh I've got no idea who... Muniz, anyone?)
Sasa takes a good pen i believe, SL will know (he knows everything).

Some folks around us mentioned he's off at the end of the season. I've not seen or heard anything to suggest he is so can anyone enlighten me?
Personally, I think he is definitely worth another season with us. Blokes a legend 👍

Only a few months ago, there were some FOF members questioning why he was even on the team sheet. How fickle some fans are. The outstanding Jiminez is an icon back in his home country of Mexico where he has been capped 123 caps for the national team and can still mix it in the top-flight of English football. He is going back to his native country after this year's World Cup and won't be returning to Fulham. That's the answer to your question. It should be a reminder to anyone who misguidedly thinks any player who hits 30 or over is ready for the scrap heap. They should think again. Kane, Modric, Vardy, Lewandowski and Ronaldo and plenty of other players around Europe as well as North and South America are shining examples of age is no barrier.

Raul was excellent and one thing he has over Muniz is his movement, he's always on the move, which makes him tricky to mark. Muniz is often too static.

Just the one thing!!

I will never forget Raul's back heel at The Etihad last season that set up for Pereira to put us ahead.  ::thumb::

Yes!! loved that goal, also the backheel goal against Forest stands out for me.

Raul's class and at this moment in time, I'd be keeping him over Muniz and bring someone in (i'd probably keep Kusu Asare too).
Must be a bit of a cult figure back in mexico, saw a good few mexican shirted fans walking back through Bishop's Park.

Yes, he never missed a penalty in his career, regular time or shoot-outs. Scored 3 or 4 in shoot-outs with Fulham too, as well as one in a pre-season friendly.

He's not the only one, we seem to have a lot of good penalty takers at the moment.
