Loftus Cheek article in the Sunday Times

[Baszab]

Couldn't make it any clearer that he is using us for a fitness and game rehabilitation programme
Hardly a mention about FFC except that he thanks SP for his trust and "of course cares what happened to Fulham even though I obviously won't be here next year"

Maybe he could put, say, 80% effort in today for his team mates ?

[Tempest]

No issue with this, it could have worked out better as he is one hell of a player, I'm sure whoever he is with next season will see that, we took a chance but not quite worked for us.

Still think it was a no brainer to sign him pre season but was expecting a little more. A stellar performance today though and it'll be worthwhile.

If you're going to say things like that as a player, you better start putting in the performances.

When he goes back can we have that Billy Gilmore please?  :54:

Let's be fair right from the off he has always stated that he wants to be at Chelsea, he has not hid this and I do think each game he is getting better.

Precisely as expected, nothing new here, move on - although he could score a hatful of goals for us before he leaves

COYW!!

But given his track record for us to date that's beyond unlikely.

I know others think they see something in him but I am still puzzled as to exactly what he contributes; assists? no, goals? no, defence opening passes? no, tackles? not really, attacking runs? some.

As probably Areola Andersen and a few other loanees . Thing is where is he going? Playing as he is at present Tuchel won't want him back. "My biggest strength was my power, my speed my physicality". The article really emphasises his loss of confidence in his body, something many on here have observed. If his 'physicality' can return in the last 13 games (& if Mitro can get his mojo back) we have a very good chance of staying up. But even if we dfo I wouldn't have RLC on my wish list for next year

Not sure what else he's going to say....on his performance's, will they want him back

[Nero]

Think hes going to end up another Chelsea player out on loan every year to a different club

It was an attempt @ irony Twig
As in he "could" but of course he won't score a hatful of goals before he clears off somewhere else
I cannot see in him what other pundits / commentators do

He's been good this game

[SP]

RLC just refereed to FFC as us!

[Wingnut]

Been good of late. Not sure where he'll fit in at Chelsea.

[Statto]

I don't begrudge anyone preferring to push for a place in a Champions' League team (eg Chelsea) rather than relegation battles/mid-tablr obscurity (eg at Fulham) but only when you look too good for the latter (eg Anderson) which RLC does not, it has to be said. So it does look a bit silly IMO.

[Woolly Mammoth]

With a number of top draw opponents coming up to play in the next few weeks RBL will stand up and be counted, he will rise the occasion and will relish the challenge and with his qualities in conjunction with the never day die attitude of Fulham, we will win some points that would have been unlikely 3 months ago.

[filham]

If RLC is to get a starting place in the Chelsea team next season then we have a good few relegation saving performances coming from him in our remaining games which will include a few goals.

[Milo]

Won't be here next year as he doesn't deserve to be in my opinion.

Glad we haven't got an option to buy
