Would be an obvious target for us so i suspect we did approach him and he prefered Bradford. We are hardly going to get better now lets face it.

The first thing that I thought when I read that Fakir had been released by Catalans was "London should sign him." Well they didn't, despite the fact that the lack of powerful prop forwards is the starting point of the team's weakness. David Hughes should have been prepared to outbid anyone for Fakir, giving the lack of alternative talent available. The fact that he didn't shows that he is prepared to let the club drop down into the Championship.

The club desperately needs new ownership.

An overweight/unfit prop who rests for 10 minutes between hit ups and who has an attitude that stinks.......thanks but no thanks

Yes, certainly not a London type of player....

......not the London most of us started supporting!

Fakir was a very good player in earlier years under previous coaches. It may well be that his recent drop in form is because he has had a falling out with his current coach. In such circumstances a change of club can be transforming for the player. Fakir may well bloom again at a new club. Bradford will find out, and may reap great benefits. London won't.
