2021/22 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Lobster Johnson]

Why?

What has he done to deserve the vitriol he receives?

Got seriously injured twice. The absolute bustard.

He is another Darren Gibson, partying and drinking his way to an early retirement

 

[Gilbert..]

Mad how he’s gash because he’s had 2 massive injuries, yet nobody has really seen him play.

I hope he’s a huge success, not only for him but so I can hit the vaults and crush some punks

45 minutes at palace was enough for some ?
He looks a unit though.
Pre season behind him who knows.

That's just the point, He has done nothing. Literally.
However, I'd like to think the stint away playing regularly has given him some belief that he CAN play regularly. His physical problems are one thing, to overcome his mental demons is a considerable mountain to climb.
I don't think we should write him off too quickly. Ease him in. Make him feel part of the set up. It worked for Iwobi.

I also think we should support our players while they're here, just because they're ours. It's not our job to make the final call on players, and until someone has actually done something terrible (Criminal or anti-Everton) why do we treat them like they're the worst people? Everyone deserves a chance while they're with us. Delph somehow pissed everyone off cos he wanted to be a world beater and the captain of everywhere, while always getting injured, and he also deleted all association on social media with us, as soon as he left - but even he was not doing anything horrible to us, it just looked like he couldn't be bothered. Iwobi is proof of that idea you just mentioned above.

There's no real loyalty and love left in football, apart from from fans, and we have proven that it makes a difference, in real life and social media. We may as well support players if it helps and we maybe get something out of them to help the team ... idk, i have limited amount of positive energy and optimism for our club every day, then it runs out by around 4pm. So today I'm going to believe that JPG is going to be the surprise package of the year and suddenly dominate all of the opposition. Either that, or Silva will sign him and he'll propel Fulham to 10th position.

He has the physique and attributes but given he has had two career threatening injuries and very little time to adapt to this league it is a big shot in the dark to hope he just suddenly becomes the DM we need but stranger things have happened.

 

[Jimishorts]

He looks a unit though.

Which unit tho?

Physiotherapy unit
Orthopaedics unit
Cardiology unit
Intensive care unit

Welcome home JPG.

Utter madness that he was brough on in that game. The same as Fat Benny Cockwomble thinking, that after 2 years on the side-lines with virtually no minutes under his belt, to throw him in to a 2 man midfield against Wolves.

The fella is big guy, hopefully its all behind him and its up to him to prove he is good enough to start.

 

[Bluestar]

I gave up on him a long time ago.

It would be pure wizardry to see him actually performing on the pitch.

Im deliberately not getting any hopes up.

 

[Hogwild]

Seems he made it through 45 minutes without breaking. Maybe he can at least add something his year

 

[Sona]

Yes, a tick in the column of completed minutes.

He did look well off the pace though.

Still early doors in pre-season; let’s see what he can do, but I won’t be holding my breath.

We can hope

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

He looked good I thought. He’s big and he wins shoulder to shoulder battles. I was modestly encouraged.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Holds his position. No one else in midfield does that but we probably want someone with a more after the injuries destroyed him.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Sharpest I've seen him, was a presence

 

[maccavennie]

He was absolutely crap, wandering around doing nothing.

In fact the inly thing he did do was a 40 yard crossfield pass which flew about 15 yards over Mykolenkos head.
