I am sure that the Khans have filled in Arbeloa
info about Smith Rowe in particular. Smith Rowe is an investment that the Khans will want to see blossom in this team and there are many reasons we should want to see the Khans hopes ambitions and dreams flourish and bear fruit. Honestly, i think the word here is patience around this team and i think that Marco Silva left Fulham in a good place and the signs are very good. We played plenty of attractive football that looked good on the eye but sadly breaking through the eye of the needle is nigh impossible because we don't have that belief faith and oneness in each others talents to finish what we started. This Fulham project is a good opportunity for the ambitious Arbeloa who will have a great chance to show what he has hidden in his locker and i think we are the perfect fit and team for Arbeloa to shock the doom mongers and doubters into Embarrassment. Finally just a mention about the Brazillian Muniz who i think is a huge talent. We could see what he was trying to do with some of his over-head kicks and flicks hear and there that didn't come off last season and we can see the confidence is there but the timing and execution is wrong but there is work in progress. We are a young team with young talent now more than ever and i don't see Muniz as a back number. Brazilian players in general want to showcase and please their audience. And don't forget the 18 year old Jonah Kusi-Asare, he i think will be eager to learn and show what he is capable of. The more i think about our team, Fulham, i am confident that we are not relegation fodder and i can't wait for this season to come around after saying all that.

I hope that the new manager is good at improving players as our previous manager was very good at that but never seemed to get anywhere with the two players you mentioned.

With two solid friendlies I believe it is and of pre season training time still to go, leaves us time to gel a bit. Mid table finish with a good cup run or two this season.
If the fans do their bit on top and with a bit of luck maybe more. Either way we look set to enjoy exciting fast paced footie and lots of goals.

Owen, I think that you are being rather over optimistic, about our coming season, and Muniz in particular. Obviously I do hope that you are right, and things turn out fine for us under AA, but I can foresee a dreadful start to the season, which will take some time to recover from. Of course with a couple of decent signings, that haven't happened so far, despite rumour after rumour. Day after day, we read that new signings are
going to happen either tomorrow, or next week, but while we fiddle, like Rome burns, other clubs just get on with it. I can't be the only one feeling so frustrated, but it's all part of our clubs dreadful summer transfer history. K

I agree with the Craven. It is all bad news, we are doomed, we must go down, we are useless in just about every sense. I like you Craven am changing my allegiance so I can be optimistic.

Yes. How dare a Fulham supporter become optimistic.

I would disagree but nothing would make me happier Owen is correct and we are wrong. Firstly, Muniz would make a great Youtube profile with some of the good goals he has scored. However, look deeper, he's probably the least technical player I have seen coming here from Brazil. ESR - very technical and even gifted. But he's got a stamina issue and added to this his lazy body language, he will never be the player he could be, which is a shame! I hope they both proof you correct and me wrong next season, cos they have been weakest links so far.

Muniz is slow, no acceleration. He can only be a target player, and that is not enough.

Muniz is slow, no acceleration.
He can only be used as a target player, and that is not enough.

A Fulham supporter has to be optimistic otherwise he will kill himself. Every season I expect something good to happen. it rarely. Have any other team that has spent so long in the top division not won any thing since their foundation.
