Seems to me that those who were against signing Fofana and especialy for £80M were right.

We never learn, he's crocked again, his knee again, we've got mugged by Leicester into paying all that money for a crock.

 

What are you talking about? He was sidelined for long time due to leg break after after a bad tackle. His knee injury has nothing to do with it.

We have Milan in just one week. I don’t think they are getting anyone back in a week. 

According to a chart I saw last night only Kjaer has any chance and even he is unlikely to make it.

Before Potter we were playing Lampard wall football.
I don't know how TT became a sucker. Uncharacteristic of him and his statement aftter the Leeds game "we played well" was a big mistake.

[Fulham Broadway 17,305]

Potter has seven young English players on the pitch which bodes well and all the right buttons are being pressed. Momentum is key and there is something in the crowd right now. It's a step in the right direction. There is a connection between players and fans again.

If we do sign him...hope he puts a better shift than he did today. 

Don't think he did much off the ball. But if he turns in Hazard like performances, then it shouldn't matter much I guess.

That dribble at the end of the first half where he just went through like 3-4 players and put the chance on a plate for that Milan player was like watching Hazard back in the day, lucky for us, that Milan player skied it over!

I feel like the signing of Nkunku is a higher priority than Leao for our attacking structure.  Both would be amazing but don't see that happening. 

[Special Juan 28,133]

Good thing for us was Leao just completely downed tools and couldn't be arsed after the second goal went in.

great performance and result against Milan, Reece is simply world class, he’s a joy to watch, shame about Fofana’s injury, fingers crossed its not too serious.

Is our future front line Sterling, Nkunku, Leao?

If next window is like the past one. Nkunku and Leao will be Barca's front line. 🤫

I think it was telling the time the team spent out on the pitch after the Palace game and then again last night to clap and celebrate with the fans.

You're right it had felt probably since the start of the sanctions that there was a bit of a disconnect there and that just had not improved this season with the poor start. Last night did feel like a bit of a turning point in the club as a whole, fans included, facing and moving in the same and right direction. 

2 wins in the space of 5 days hopefully starts building that momentum for a good run now up to the World Cup break. If we can get through this group and we're comfortably in and around the top 4 race going into that break, then I think that's a huge positive to come back to after the World Cup.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,803]

Tottenham plays Brighton this weekend. If we can take care of business against a Wolves team that is without direction, we will be helped either way that match goes with top 4 positioning.

Four weeks is about the best that could be hoped for.
