Aaaand he's scored

Absolutely sitter from a terrible goalkeeper error

Edit*
VAR ruled it out...the guy who intercepted the kick out from the GK encroached on the penalty area during goal kick.

....and hes scored a belter

I'm sure that goal he scored is very necessary to PSV winning the title. The same PSV that was 14 points ahead of second with 11 matches to go before today. 🙄

[Somerset Fulham]

Doesn't matter. It's their right not to sell and we should respect that.

They should've told Fulham to Fk off then and we wouldn't have wasted an entire window chasing him.

TBF I don't think we wanted anyone else regardless. It was Pepi or no one it seems. So wether they sold him in January or by the summer it seems our hearts set on this one. We tried to push them to sell sooner but they didn't go for it even though theyve accepted the money was clearly good enough.

This one does look like it should get done before the summer. But if he goes on an absolute tear scoring at will again they may well hold out and hope he has a killer world cup. That really would be gutting.

Looked brilliant today coming off the bench. Not just the goal, he was dropping and linking play well too and looked a cut above most on the pitch

Liam Delap apparently on the way out. 30m being a mooted fee Everton are considering. His style would be perfect for us bit question whether wages would be within our budget.

Think were all in on Pepi and clearly have him down as the target the club and manager are aligned on wanting. Doubt we go after anyone else unless Muniz were to randomly depart aswell as raul which I think unlikely

[KentFulham]

Sell Muniz and bring in Delap as well as Pepi

As suspected could happen...

Nwaneri reportedly struggling a bit over at Marseille with all the disruption, di zerbis departure etc.

If we lost Wilson I wonder if we'd consider making a move there. If his season at Marseille doesn't work out perhaps he could be picked up on a similar deal to ESR cost wise. He's still very raw but another who could find themselves in an ESR/Bobb type situation, good player, lots of potential not quite getting a path to regular games for their boyhood club.

I know, it's alot to spend on a position we've laid out alot on recently. And yes rather the money first and foremost goes to CF then CM and RB if Castagne goes. But...one of those that fits the Fulham approach of recent years.

We have to recruit CM and striker first. Iwobi can go back to RW if needs be where he had his best/highest G/A season.

Disagree about his style fitting us. He excels in route 1 and counter attacking football. His holdup, heading and in structure play is pretty poor which are the areas we needs the most out of our striker. He likes a long ball into space that he can get onto and carry into the box to shoot or create. That's when he is at his best. We don't really do that under Marco.

Agree and proven in the premier league

Isn't that how we played with Mitro?

Agreed. His style is actually perfect for Everton and David Moyes boring football.

Mitro has got a very good hold up game and is obviously magnificient at heading the ball.

Yeah but route 1 football often requires a target man who is good at holding up the ball or an I completely off? If that's the case then Delap not being good at holding up the ball would mean he's not good at route 1 football

[SerbianLad]

Isn't that how we played with Mitro?

Not really. Mitro dropped back, similar to how Raul does now, and contributed a lot in the build-up of attacks and then he arrived in the box in the end of attacks. We did sometimes go route 1, especially against the best teams, because he was capable of doing that too, but it wasn't the only way we played.

His last match for Fulham is actually a good example of it not being route 1 football actually. He created the winning goal with a great "hockey" assist when he dropped a bit deeper.
