New ex-players (and managers) thread

Jeff Schlupp meanwhile gets better every time I see him play.

I’d take him back for a decent price, replace Fuchs as back up left back and a wing option from the bench

He left because he wasn't happy sitting on the bench.

I hear Fulham fans chanting “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Claudio on MotD. This makes me sad.

Well he could stand instead

Easy to improve from being base level ain’t it?

True, they barely managed to squeeze in Khan's name before they ran out of space - so the question mark had to go. Always going to be a tricky job for Claudio - I don't care about Fulham particularly, but wouldn't want to see CR humiliated.

They are trigger happy down at the Cottage

In this case it makes sense. He was brought in to keep them up and he clearly hasn’t. He’s not going to manage in the championship so better to move on.

It's less to do with Claudio and more to do with the fact they are really quite shit

Exactly. Which is why I would have had Jokanovic here.

They made the mistake of basically ditching all the players that got them to the PL, to bring in expensive foreign imports. I think it’s clear that that was the owner.

Cardiff went the other way and basically kept the same team, and they’re struggling but at least have a fighting chance unlike Fulham.

It’s about getting the balance right like Wolves did.

Not disputing that either.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

I think Claudio is better than to come into a season with the crappy squad Fulham have got and be in the middle of a relegation scrap.

I hope he either keeps them up or leaves now.

Jeff Schlupp meanwhile gets better every time I see him play.

And he's still bang average at best.

Unless that price is nothing up front with nothing to pay later, I wouldn't.

Have we really sunk so low as a club that people are even contemplating adding players like Schlupp to our squad? Holy flaps.
