Obviously a coup for Fulham, but I'm getting the impression he is nowhere near as good as people think he is. I have no understood the hype mate. I know there are some, Balon etc. that really rate him, but every time I've seen him play I've been disappointed, and I felt like he'd struggle in the Premier League. We were linked a few years ago too, and so I followed him quite closely, but he just seems so middle of the road. Fulham is probably the right move for him, to see if he can do it at a higher level.

FFP in the Prem doesn't really exist now - It's nowhere near as stringent as Uefa's. Also the TV deal largely makes it redundant considering the huge income these clubs have. Beyond that teams like City have made it an absolute farce as they've just found 'creative' ways round it all with sponsorship.

Yeah to me he seems a bit of a one season wonder, he was barely spoken of last season and he will be 27 by the time the season starts, so he doesn't have potential on his side. In truth I haven't seen anything of him, but considering where he has ended up, I can't imagine he is that special.
Dave Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Le Merchand seems like a unique signing. You would think that Fulham would go with an experienced defender given it's where they're most frail.
