You have no idea, just like any of the rest of us, if Raphael is up to it or not.
He was signed as a prospect, he’s still a prospect so we’re signing players ahead of him, as we should have done in the summer too.
When will cov fans learn to stop judging players so early?
He's obviously not up to it at the moment because he can't get on the pitch. He might come good, but until then we need another option.

Publicly, Robins and Lampard both said the same thing that he’s a talented player but just not robust enough for standard we play at.

I don’t know what that means exactly. It doesn’t point to him being necessarily unfit, more his body being too fragile to cope. That was my interpretation.

Even still, was this known at the point of signing him? If so, I wonder why we signed him.
Which suggests he needs to get more hench

Low value investment for potentially high returns.
One to nurture ourselves and build him up slowly
Thats why we signed him

He’s had cameo appearances, i think he’ll get more before the end of this season, then another pre season with us, watch him start games next year.

Don't mind a transfer rumor, keeps things interesting.

GIMOC clearly has some contact but zero quality control filter. Absolutely fine sharing transfers gossip but don't like the posts that are shit stirring about players or scaremongering like that one about Tats pelvis being broken, no need.

Just wondering? Tats pelvis was thought to be fractured. The info may well have been vague but people sharing what was already out there (Without there being selfish intent) seems fair enough. Oggy and Rob Gurney chose that narrative as well.

Start in place of who?

Give @GIMOC a break ffs. Half the interest in the transfer windows is the rumours about who we might be in for. Without that it is just boring. 😀

Some of the posters on here would be completely lost and have nothing to do with their days without this…. 😀
Exactly! I’ve had disagreements with GIMOC and his info. But I’d rather he keeps them coming - same as Saddle.

it’s a talking point. Transfer rumours are half the fun in football.

I'd say just leave that stuff for the official announcement.
