    Hmm, fairplay, although the actual substance of the piece is non-existent - it's a bit of a sharted-out 'opinion' piece (and, in fairness, labelled as such) and I don't see any claim or reason to believe that it's based on any kind of privileged access or insight.

    It doesn't even really provide any justification at all for why it has concluded Arteta is set against him:

    For gods sake man there was nothing silly about what I said. It is you who is being stupid about this trying to make something out of a perfectly average innocent comment.

    So do your worst as I shan't be wasting my time debating any further with you as you are the one who is being an idiot here and not for the first time either :rolleyes:

    João Pedro arrived at Watford in January 2020. He has been at the club for only 17 months and I doubt that he is yet a millionaire.

    I wonder whether there is any connection between his recent dip in form and the return of his newly married wife to Brazil.

    Not sure sanctimoniously trying to position yourself as a poor little wronged innocent party, above it all, works when you finish your comment with an insult, my friend.

    I've heard someone (possibly you, I don't know) mention this before, but I've never seen any evidence for or even mention of her or it, even when I've asked in response on here. Do you have a source? Obviously, it would be interesting to see, if so.

    It's a well know fact that if you leave two Brazilians in a room together for five minutes then they become best friends.

    I’m assuming you’re talking about his marriage. On João’s and his wife’s Instagram theres pictures of the wedding in mid December.

    I'm looking on his page, joaapedro.oficial, and I'm not seeing anything around that time - what am I missing?

    Just checked, there’s one of him in his suit on the 18th of December, but there’s more on his Mrs’ page.

    He's married?
    He's only 19 isn't he?
    Very old fashioned these days for a footballer to be married so young.

    Footballers tend to get married and have kids young relative to the general population, most seem to be married with kids my mid-20s at the latest. Phil Foden fathered a child with his partner at 18. Anthony Martial is 25 and has already been married twice, having a kid with each wife.

    Would like to see some ambitious loan moves.

    I know it's unlikely, but targeting top talent from the 'big four' is worth a try. Test the water with the likes of Foden, Greenwood, Wilshere etc.

    Juan mata out of contract this summer an ambitious one ,Ashley Young go put in a word

    Yeah, that's literally just a picture of him in a suit with no textual context! What is his wife's page, if you would be so kind? It doesn't seem to be linked on his bio or anything.

    If he had any real hunger to play the game he would have left united years ago. He has been happy enough to sit on the bench and collect the franky bonkers wage he was on.

    Quality player in his day, but not really sure you would want him in what will in all likelihood be a relegation fight.

    Joachim Anderson cb on loan at fulham could start alongside Francisco

    Could be good, though he's been linked with half the PL already and Lyon would probably want to sell (for more than we would pay).

    No thanks, he hasn't got the legs for the PL any more.

    Ruben Loftus Cheek may be available, not sure if he has a place at Chelsea. Maybe Chalobah can get in his ear and persuade him.

    Also I know Mitrovic hasn’t exactly pulled trees up this year in the PL but still miles better than what we currently have.

    RLC has been surprisingly poor for Fulham this season.

    Mitrovic increasingly feels as if it would be swapping one immobile lump in Troy for another.

    I agree on both points.
    When ever I watched RLC I kept expecting him to improve. He got worse.

    RLC is crap and not worth the wages. I’m not even sure what sort of player he is actually meant to be anymore:

    It’s perhaps not fair to judge Loftus-Cheek for his lack of goals or assists. In 105 Premier League appearances, he only has 10 goals and six assists. Also coming from the official Premier League website, he has only ever created nine big chances and has also missed 11 big chances from those 105 appearances. Politely put, he just was not the answer for a team that needed creativity and goals. And yet he was brought in and played in offensive positions all season. I’ll leave you to decide where the blame lies for that.

    A fair few Fulham fans on reddit saying that the one positive from being relegated is that they will never have to watch RLC play again.

    Sign him up.

    I mean...Chalobah's return to form was a long and painful process, so I wouldn't say RLC is finished, but we're not in a position to take on his wages in the hope he might turn good
     
  27. barely1egal

    barely1egal Reservist

    Yeah - if he was available for a small amount and on reasonable wages it may be a gamble worth taking but I think RLC is on over 100k a week and is performing at a championship level.

    He’d be the classic ‘promising player gone to pot’ Pozzo signing if we could get him for £5m and £30k p/w wages, but we won’t.
