Could be, But a front 3 of FF, Fletcher and Piazon should cause problems for most defences, with Bannan, Reach and Joey behind and we look to have some energy and attacking threat. Add in a signing like Hector at the back and we start to look a much stronger team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be that, Mr C is determined to make sure we give it a good go this season. Also, we aren’t that flush with quality players, or we wouldn’t have had to call on so many development players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 What we don’t know is how much Jos rates FF. No doubt he will appreciate his ability and although he works hard he can still be a bit of a loose cannon. Is he too much of a loose cannon for Jos, a manager who appears to demand discipline and teamwork. Could he convince DC to sell and help solve our FFP issue?

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Piazon just isn’t that good. If he was, why haven’t Fulham bought him? Poor mans Lopez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 If Piazon is been targeted, I think the 4-2-3-1 is probably here to stay. It seemed to suit us on Wednesday night...but our options in those three advanced positions seem to be a little limited. Forestieri and Matias can both provide unpredictability from the flanks. Joao will perhaps be favoured out wide as a genuine goal threat, and Reach, at the minute, is the only real option to play in the number 10 position, but his natural position is out wide. Piazon is somebody who could pull the strings in that advanced position, either from wide or in the no.10 position. In certain games, Reach's energy could be vital, but there'll be games and situations when a bit more craft and a bit more guile is needed...Piazon would provide that. In essence, Piazon could well be the piece in the jigsaw we thought Abdi was going to be 2 years ago. The only difference is...we might actually play a system to accommodate him.. Either way...a pool of Forestieri, Joao, Reach, Matias and Piazon to choose from for three advanced positions offers plenty of ability and variety, which is crucial. Add to that the choice of Fletcher, Nuhiu, Hooper or Winnall for the lone striker spot...and it's looking pretty healthy (if perhaps oversubscribed by one).

Maybe they have bigger targets now they are in the top flight again but they do seem to rate him at his spell there. How many times have you seen him play ?

Lopez was a sitting midfielder. Piazon is a more advanced playmaker. Apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Be a good signing Piazon I am sure. But anyone thinking he is going to be one of our best players like Forestieri is may be slightly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have you seen him play ? I live in London - pal has an ST at Fulham - saw him about 3 times 2x as sub - TBF he was injured badly at start of last season - subsequently couldn’t get in their starting 11 - notice they’ve kept Kevin Macdonsld but didn’t go back for him. I tell thi - games just pass him by. I’ve got nowt against him but we need strength and pace, a Backary Sackho type. TBH I’d rather have Izzy Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there careers take a nose dive as they are loaned to a different club every season in the hope they one day become good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I must admit, if we sign 2 or 3 and keep Forestieri. I'll go and buy that 6 match bundle, can't get to many really because of work but I'm sure I'll find a taker for a decent priced ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll go, because the embargo began in April. Surely the club would have sold him in the summer if that was what was needed to satisfy the EFL.
