Don’t fancy him at all
He seems to be able to carry the ball from deep, which is something we’ve lacked for ages.

But yeah, I wouldn’t be going all out for him. Never left a big impression on the odd occasion I've seen Fulham.

Would rather we went for Bissouma from Brighton, but that’s purely based on our static midfield making him look like a combination of Makelele and Zidane

When I saw Fulham beat us 2 nil a couple of years ago at Craven Cottage, I thought he stood out and ran the game. Totally bossed the middle of the park. Boy were we crap that day.
 
All that highlights to me is that he can run with the ball but has no end product, evident by his 0 goals and 3 assists in 58 Premier League games.

Fulham fans aren't too glowing in their reviews of him and are happy for him to go.


Fulham won 5 games total last season. So he featured in probably 80% of their wins if we just assume it’s 4 each season. Another reply could then say, “We only won one game last year without him.” You can make numbers look like whatever you want to. I’ll trust my eyes. He’s the profile we’ve been lacking in midfield for a while. Good player.

Last season they only won 1 game he didn't feature in.

2018/19 only won 3 without him featuring.

EXACTLY, idk what kind of mental gymnastics that fan is making, but it's entirely laughable. as if 1 man could save that trashfire
 
He's got good stats in basically every area you'd want for someone in his position. Tackles, interceptions, forward passing, dribbling even his final third stuff is OK. He's got one major flaw and Evertonians would hate him because of it: he has sloppy touches and gives the ball away in midfield. Nothing gets this fan base riled up quicker. Well aside from perceived not caring.

Yes but can we afford Bissouma? I doubt it.

Unfortunately we have to believe the viewpoints of the fans who go the game every week so it looks like Anguissa is out
 
It's more about professionals in any field not taking on the opinions of amateurs mate. I know football fans love to think supporting their club means they know a lot, it just frankly doesn't. I'm guilty of it too no doubt, but from the outside we just don't understand a lot of what goes into playing at that level.
Football isn't some kind of magical secret art.

A good player is a good player by and large. Most people can tell you that. The hidden aspects of a player neither a fan or scout will pick up on. I know a bunch of scouts of various levels, none of them seem to be able to judge a player better than a random bloke, especially one who watches them every week.

I would assume in this scenario the scout doesn't just walk up and say "hey what do you think of player A?" They will have a general talk and see what (and indeed who) comes from it. I mean their source has to come from somewhere right?
