Pepi….

In fairness to Pepi he's not going to look great in this USA high pressing set up. He's limited athletically compared to Balogun and honestly Haji Wright who is the 3rd striker. His real strength is how clinical he is and he's a natural striker movement wise. He's the player right on Burgess's shoulder for the own goal against Australia waiting to tap it in.

It's the reason I'm not a big fan of signing him for the price tag, especially now that Marco is gone. I don't think he profiles well to the Premier League due to the pace. Not sure he is going to create many of his own chances either.

As an American who will always want an American in the Fulham first team, I don't think Pepi is the player for us. I agree with WolverineFFC. Pepi plays better as a second striker who picks up the scraps or mistakes and finishes clinically. Yes, he tries hard and runs nonstop, but that doesn't equate to goals.

Personally, I would prefer it if Fulham could get Haji Wright from Coventry. I think he would be a better pick for a good price.

I would like to try getting Baby Mitro Ivanovic from Millwall. And maybe Femi Azeez.
