ESR
Andersen
Kevin
Bobb
Garcia.

From what I've seen so far a lot of money spent on bang average players.

Our marquee big money signings do seem to struggle . Marlet , Ruiz , Mitrogolou

[3 pigs]

A fool and his money are easily parted.

[hovewhite]

Have seen it so often over the last 20 years just accept it.

[jarv]

Easy answer....when we get rid of this useless manager with no experience either as a manager or in the premier.  Get rid of him today.

I understand your frustration but what is a big money signing these days, £120m?

How many clubs spend that £120 million on one player,only the elite.

[the nutflush]

Just asked AI ....Seems it totals around 160m for that list.  Wow.  Thats criminal.

You can draw a line under the first two, it isn't going to happen.

I absolutely take your point, but also try to look at it from the glass half full perspective.

I think Bobb is improving. He was better again yesterday, but still a long way from setting the world on fire.

I think Garcia just needs a goal and he might catch fire. His workrate is good, but we need to play to his strengths, not make him challenge man mountain CBs in the air all game.

Now he's lost his starting place, we should use Andersen to shore up the defence for the last 20 minutes. If we'd done that yesterday, we'd have had a much better chance of coming away with something.

ESR and Kevin? Even with my glass half full and my rose tinted specs on, I can't make a case for either even being on the bench at the moment...

[bill taylors apprentice]

ESR has it in him to do a decent job for a team like Fulham but frankly he's shown lttle fight to win a place in the team.

Anderson was probably a good shout when we signed him but he's over paid and his form has diminished.

Kevin needs the run in the team that Bobb is getting before a final assessment can be made IMO.

Bobb has shown potential but he was bought to be a starter and to provide goals and so far has failed.

Garcia needs to adapt his game and quickly or he will be a burden to the team, he's in the team to score goals but he's not troubling our opponents.

Can't see a lot of hope from this lot to turn our season round!

[Plodder]

I think Andersen is the just the type of player, leader and defensive organiser we need at the club right now, even if he is not currently chosen ahead of Affengruber (who I am also glad to have as a choice, with a slightly different skill set from Andersen).

[fancyfeet4]

ESR and Andersen have at least produced something. Not consistent enough but they aren't total wastes.

Kevin is going to go down as a complete flop.

Garcia I am high on and its way too early to judge that. He finds himself in good spots, has fluidity to his game and trust he came come through.

Bobb is starting to get comfortable. He is starting to find some form and while that miss was big, I think he is close to some really good play. Him and King have a bit of chemistry and I am glass half full on him (was half empty coming into the season).

[KentFulham]

It is very concerning the rate at which we buy duds, partocually when I see Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth buying and flipping great players. 2 of those teams are flying too

[Rambler]

Not sure I can name a big money signing that has done well for us.

We seem to sign some absolute shockers. One wonders whether we make them rubbish or our scouting team need a complete upgrade

[hopper]

It is rather strange how as a club our record signings pretty much always flop and it's the frees, and lower-mid signings that work out best.

Maybe it is because we're shopping at the bottom end of expensive young talent. We do better at shopping at the top and of inexpensive and flawed players.

[SimonDaviesEnjoyer]

We seem to do well at signing top class goalkeepers for small fees or free.

Maybe we should just sign hundreds of goalies.

Oh for Baird, Gera, Karagounis

Etuhu in that midfield... what a beast.
