:lol:

I love it. While you could say the whole "you have to laugh or you would cry" Here's is to many many goals!!! :banana-dance:

SC, is 7 the over/under on how many goals Pog is going to score in his Fulham career? :whistle:

I hope you are right of course, and glad to see someone take the glass is half full approach.

Per Jol from the Official page:

"He [Pogrebnyak] hasn't got the work permit but he will hopefully be in the country at the end of the week. Hopefully not too late to be involved [against Stoke] and we hope for Thursday but it could be Friday."

Let's hope for Thursday and not Friday.

First he needs his Visa to leave Germany, now a work permit. If and when he gets the permit, we'll probably learn he has a groin strain. After that's finally healed, he'll get in his first game sometime around May when we will learn he's really not a forward but prefers to play on the wing.

One things for certain, if he sucks then we won't average more than one goal per match. I hope he's good, but in the words of Charles Barkley I doubt it.

He does exist!

First things first, welcome to Fulham Pavel. What are your first impressions?

PP: My first impressions are very positive. As soon as I arrived everything had a very friendly atmosphere, all the players were very friendly.

I am really surprised with the training camp; it’s a very, very cosy atmosphere and everything is fine. The only thing left is to go on the pitch and get Fulham some success.

Has it been frustrating in the time between when you signed and today?

PP: It was not really frustrating because Fulham did a really professional job; I’ve been waiting only three days. Fulham sent a fitness coach to Paris and in Paris we worked hard. I kept my fitness at a certain level as well – he [the fitness coach] was brilliant.

You had your first training session today – did you enjoy it?

PP: The training season was quite intensive. Intensive is good and in general I’m very happy.

Did you take advice from anybody about coming to English football?

PP: I asked advice from all my Russian teammates, people like Bilyaletdinov, Pavlyuchenko and Arshavin from Arsenal.

But definitely the decision was made by me because it was my long-term dream to play in England. Now the dream has come true and I’m happy that I’m finally here.

The Premier League is obviously one of the world’s biggest leagues; do you feel pressure to perform here?

PP: Everything I’ve achieved in my life is not because I was always the top talent but because I am a hard worker.

Everything in my life I have worked hard for. To come to an environment where hard work is one of the most important things means it's a good environment for me to be in.

I’m really happy because this is a new challenge which brings new possibilities and opportunities.

When do you feel you’ll be ready to play a match?

PP: It’s Martin Jol’s decision. I’m ready to play on Saturday and really want to but of course the Manager is the decision maker, and the only decision maker, but I am ready.

For our fans that haven’t seen you before, how would you describe how you play on the pitch?

PP: I’m aggressive. I’m working from the first minute until the 95th or the 97th or however long the match is. I also like to play combination football which Fulham always play. You will see on the pitch.

Don't miss Saturday clash against Stoke City at Craven Cottage (KO 3pm). Tickets are now on General Sale. Secure your seat today!

Found this interesting. He's still been pretty impressive despite the adjustment.

Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak 'exhausted' by Premier League pace

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896...-pavel-pogrebnyak-exhausted-by-premier-league

Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has admitted he is finding the pace of the Premier League exhausting.

The Russia international has netted two goals in as many games since his arrival from Stuttgart last month.

But despite his promising start, the 28-year-old has noticed a different after adapting to English football from Germany's Bundesliga.

“I haven’t been this exhausted for a long time. The match was very intense, hardly any pauses," he told Sport-Express.

“Tough challenges and big powerful defenders are difficult to adjust to initially.

“Aside from that, I was very pleased with the support – I have never seen so many away fans at a stadium.

“I am in a great mood, of course. I never expected to get off to such a good start. Hopefully my form will continue.”

Indeed. I'm not sure even Pavel himself could've imagined this kind of start. If he and Demps stay in current form, it could be an interesting run up to the end of the season...

He just keeps getting better. Hope we can secure him for a reasonable price.

LaxAttack · Mar 4, 2012

I believe they said on the broadcast that he is the first player in Fulham history to score in each of his first three games.

SCFulhamFan · Mar 4, 2012

They did! They also said he was only one of three Russians to score a hat trick in the prem. Yea. He's kinda a big deal.

jumpkutz · Mar 6, 2012

Perhaps the larger question (not that we particularly care here in our little corner of cyberspace) is who dropped the ball at Stuttgart? It just goes to show how hugely imperfect and unreliable someone's scouting can be.

Don't really care, just an observation. Wonder if somebody at Stuttgart lost their job over this guy. And darn glad we've got him, at least for now.

dcheather · Mar 6, 2012

He's been a player at Stuttgart for 3 years, starting in 2009. And in 68 league appearances he scored 15 goals. He's just hasn't done great at Stuttgart, sometimes a player needs to move on to another team and league to do well.

He hasn't exactly faced really tough competition yet. Stoke so far has been the biggest challenge. It would probably be wise to wait just a few more games before offering him a contract. So far he's done what he needed to do to convert his chances and seems to fit in with the squad. Pog definitely seems to be enjoying his time with Fulham, and I hope he continues to do so.
