bcfc01 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hopefully Mawson is fit and over the knee problems. It would be fantastic if we had the Mawson of a season or two ago ala Webster. Looks like we could have a formidable back three.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the club would have paid particular attention to his past injuries and taken the decision to sign him in full knowledge of the possible recurrence. Welcome Alfie .

Selred Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 My Fulham supporting friend has said: Mawson has been at Fulham for two years, and injured for 14 months of that period. Sad really, because I like him a lot. But quite well known that Mawson will retire when his contract expires in two years or so. He apparently has no meniscus left in one of his knees, snapped one of his knee ligaments changing boots at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess lots of people were wrong. In all seriousness, it's good to see Holden being backed financially. I know it's only a loan, but it certainly isn't a cheap loan.

deadredfred Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Excellent signing. Strange timing for the announcement though? Looks like it was all sewn up yesterday, but wondering if there will be news of outgoings tomorrow now (Szmodics)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not getting at you personally mate) There is no chance in hell that the club would pay £25k a week to a defender who has no meniscus and is nearing injury driven retirement. Even if by a miracle he got through the medical the money side of the club would veto the deal straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Williams "passed" a medical - he'll miss the first 5 or 6 games. I'm hopeful that Mawson is able to play to his previous standard and if he does, that will be fantastic. 1 minute ago, Davefevs said: Join the club, it’s the pain CBs go through.

I can only say that with mine that it caused fluid buildup that often meant play a couple, miss a few....but I wasn’t a pro with all the specialist support they get.

No doubt he’s said it in good faith but to pay what we’re paying Mawson if it was true flies in the face of everything we’ve done as a club recently. I just can’t see it being the case.

I wouldn't trust Osman, his opinion would be pointless. I'm not sure how the injury feels whilst playing, @Davefevs may be able to help, but perhaps Mawson won't train much and play through pain. After 2 more years he'd of earnt £2.4 million and could easily retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
