    genuinely what was the point in signing this fella???

    if you are an out of contract professional footballer the least you'd be doing is keeping yourself super fit on the off chance an offer might come in?

    Become clear he wouldn't play that U21 game without a contract (fair enough) but @Elthamaddick is right, it's mad he wasn't keeping himself fitter. Hernandez clearly isn't great and has a bit of timber on him but at least he came to us fit enough to get on the pitch

    He didn't perform a single jog on the touchline, which is very odd for a player signed on a short-term contract for a short-term need.

    Maybe NJ is showing the board that we need proper signings and not just gap fillers.

    He did applaud a positive bit of play whilst 'warming up' , but that seemed to be the full extent of his exertions.

    My opinion is based on looking at the shape of him, and that first half in the U21’s, so probably not valid. However if he plays I think he will make Hernandez look like Declan Rice by comparison.

    Pleased someone else saw this. It was bizarre. Tanto and I’m sure one of the coaching staff asked him to warm up properly and didn’t get more than a walk up and down the touchline

    Saw him warm up yesterday, what was that? He looks nowhere near match fit and didn't even run once. Hope he is on a very short term with us.

    #ISawRoussillonWarmUp could be a good username for someone

    Reminds me when we had someone use that for Cory Gibbs way back 

    If the guy isn't fit I don't know why he's here as more than likely he'll go in January

    seems like such a strange situation, as someone has said it's almost like NJ deliberately got him as a statement to say this is what you get when you don't pay any money.
    I hope we aren't shopping in the fat and past it market in January.

    I'm visualising him and Hernandez on the pitch at the same time  :#

    Another free agent masterclass signing from Jones. Absolutely pathetic

    Might as well given the contract to pre-season trialist Joe Bennett, at least he has been keeping fit playing in non-league

    Wonder if he's saying to owners 'this is what we will get if I dont have funds to play with' and 'i can't play him because he isn't fit enough'?

    Ah we’ve got to the “hyper analysis of every little thing” phase.

    Maybe let’s see what he’s like if and when he gets on the pitch shall we?

    I thought we'd resigned Jimmy Floyd Bottlebank

    Reckon Hernandez could fit Jimmy's shorts.

    I saw a shot of what looked like someone's dad in the dugout, was that him?  ;)

    I think Tuesday's line up had an element of experiment about it, the midfield in the first half looked as if no one knew where they should be playing. It was an awful lot better in the second half but we moved Campbell to wing back and played the arriving substitutes in the correct positions. As for Rousillon and for that matter Hernandez, the actual contract should state, 'Till January' then we get our sick and lame back or bring someone in who has actually had the benefit of a pre-season.
