We've just spent upwards of 40M on one of the best playmakers in the league, all before pre-season

I get how bad it sucks for them, but it's hard to argue that international armed warfare doesn't qualify as force majuere. I don't know that FIFA actually had any options.
So he would have only had 6 months left on his Shaktaar contract anyway..... Hardly a big, unscrupulous rinse by THFC.
It's strange how being 'free' somehow makes this a decent signing . So if we'd had to pay for him he wouldn't be a decent signing
The mental gymnastics really is off the scale this summer. Its ike getting those disappointing pants and socks for Christmas that you feel obliged to feel grateful for.
It is what it is guys. Another cheap punt. Or free punt in this case.
Progress?
Yeah but tbf we faced a lot of competition for this free player, a real battle for his signature.
Can't wait till I break the news to the Gooner and Chav bitches at the coffee morning this Friday.
They'll be so envious while I sit there with a smug look on me old boat race
Show them his dribble completion % stats and they’ll start absolutely bloody shitting themselves.
Then finish them off by showing them that Whoscored have ‘no weaknesses’ under his name. Even Superman had fucking kryptonite, we’ve basically signed the Israeli Messi.
Who else was in for him? Because Fulham players aren't going to improve this team.
BTW can every dumb fuck who pipes up with 'but he's free' or equivalent nonsense, get back in their fucking box and shut the fuck up please. Thanks very much.
On the other hand everyone now wants you to do what you so politely tell them to do……Shut up and Grow up.
This again? Do you ever post anything other than needlessly shitting on other people's excitement?Show them his dribble completion % stats and they’ll start absolutely bloody shitting themselves.

For once in your life, stop subjecting us to your perpetual misery you boring tosser.
A Leicester player has just improved this team
Maybe the price isn’t important at all. We’re not trying to spend money, we’re trying to improve the team.
Does this guy do that?
Who knows. Probably better than Danjuma.

Sol ManSo, are we calling him Sol?
Why is it that when we get a player who’s came from a team that is lower than us and not from abroad he’s automatically shit. The guy has got his opportunity to get to a big club and might just turn out to be a very good player for us. A lot on here have a love in for Gil because he came from the Spanish league but this guy has produced on the biggest stage in the champions league and is a stand out for his country.
At nearly 40 caps for his country at 23 shows how highly thought of he is in his homeland.

Haha yeah, no good players ever came from Fulham
Because a lot of our fans have become very bitter and jaded after the last few years of failure. The best team in our history had key players signed from Fulham, Southampton, Leeds, Sheffield United and MK Dons but they have forgotten this and seem to think that all our good players came from Barcelona or something.
Honestly I don't think the fans who say this stuff know much about football. They are just addicted to moaning.
This is exactly it mate. Imagine we never gave someone like Dembele a chance? I know we’ve had a lot of poor signings but Solomon looks the part and has proved he can do it. Ange always makes subs in the forward and midfield areas and this lad could make a massive impact from the bench or starting.
Not necessarily the same group of people. Not sure why we should be happy for ENIC to put a billion quid of debt on the club just to end up back where we were under Jol, though I understand the nostalgia for that era.
I meant to type our PL history.
