Addona Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) 1 hour ago, WestHamCanadianinOxford said: The intelligence and ball-playing skill is there. He is more mature physically even from March. Growing actually made him lose a bit of pace - a bit awkward - if I compare the beginning of last season to March to now. But that is coming back it looked like. Should be able to add mass. Centre back is very much a learned position and like Bombito, he just needs reps. We had 2 young centre backs at decent clubs, that each had a depth crisis at centre back - him and Knight-Lebel. So they spent time on the first team bench but it also meant they couldn't go out on loan. Knight-Lebel got his loan, hoping for the same, ideally Championship for this guy. Honestly, I’d rather he play 2500+ minutes in League 1, than risk sitting on the bench in the Championship this coming season… Edited July 14 by Addona ahmedou, Unnamed Trialist, narduch and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-O Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I don't understand why Montreal or Toronto don't ask for a loan or buy him. He would start. And massive resale value. TGAA_Star, Jack1997 and ahmedou 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solsous Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It's good that he is cap-tied. However, it would have been nice if he was included in the U-20 squad. Let's hope they have the squad to qualify for U-20 world championship. toontownman, narduch, The Real Marc and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Fulham or ldf want this. I’m sure tfc want it but ldf should be loaned in England to keep familiarity of styles, close to home, easy for Fulham to monitor his progress. sebdeserio, canuckgbp, ahmedou and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if they want this. I think Justin Smith turned down a loan to Montreal this past offseason, which considering where he ended up, and considering CFM is about to sell the 20 year old CB they actually acquired for a nice little profit, maybe not the right move for JS. The broadcast last night said that they expect him to get loaned to the championship or higher end league one, but no clue if that’s based on any facts. Hopefully Fulham watched the game last night and had a mind to spend that Palhinia money on other positions instead. ahmedou and solsous 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope he goes to League 1 & play 40ish games vs men. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what people are talking about when they mention his pace was impressive. That said, he’s 18 and still developing physically so not too much of a concern imo. Needs more game time and development of the rest of his skills and his pace will likely improve anyway. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they have enquired. Hope he gets a championship move though or stays and gets more minutes at fulham off the bench.

Exactly- if Montreal wasn’t a right fit for JS, I strongly doubt they’re a fit for the much better LDF. Kinda hope he tries to crack the Fulham lineup. He seems close, I’d rather the risk of playing a handful of games and looking good enough to keep than getting lost in the loan carousel.

No guarantee but loans worked for Tomori and got him prepped for Chelsea. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Not in the squad for Fulham's recent friendly vs Benfica and not part of the potential squad for the game vs Sevilla.

Anyone heard any news about what the club's plans are for Luc? For reference - West Ham's late Euros players are just back in training and didn't play in our friendly yesterday. So maybe similar. Fulham signed a fairly young Spanish centre half from Villareal and nothing concrete on Tim Ream leaving, so here's hoping for a good loan.

Sounds like it was the Jorge Cuenca signing that made it pop to life again. So that would leave Fulham with Bassey, Diop and him as senior centre backs.
