We welcome Leeds to the Cottage for a 3 o’clock kick off
Fulham v Leeds
I’m still fuming about VAR and I really feel for Josh, having your debut premier league goal, especially against local rivals, disallowed for a non-foul a couple of minutes before, I would have been devastated! Then to add insult to injury they score past added time, the length of which was extended due to the 3+ minutes the referee took to agree with VAR, changed the game.
We finally, finally announced a couple of signings, after the window closed!, why do Fulham leave signings until the last possible moment? I’m assuming its to save money however not having players pre-season surely will cost us league points and therefore places? Which in turn will cost us “prize money” as the higher the finish the more money the team receives.
Both players look to be very exciting additions, Samuel Chukwueze on loan with an option to buy was the first to be announced. If rumours are to be believed, Chukwueze has been a ‘long-term’ target and could become a fans favourite, hopefully his load will be successful and he’ll join permanently at the end of the season.
Kevin, Shakhtar’s player of the season last year, has signed until 2030, with an option for a further year, so having lost one Brazilian, Pereira, we’ve gained another.
I don’t think either will start this weekends game but I do think they’ll both be in the squad and will come on at some stage.
Jonah Kusi-Asare was announced the day after the window closed on a season lone with an option to buy. Interestingly it appears that part of the loan deal is that the fee of 3 million will reduce dependant on how many games he plays?
Kusi-Asare is a young, 18 years old, Swedish striker who looks to be a very promising prospect.
Our record, for the previous 8 games, is OK with 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, a cup game that Leeds won on pens.
As I said I don’t think any of the new signings will start the game, they’ll be on the bench, so my squad would be…
