Any thoughts?

Also from the same article:

 

So with the exception of Dacourt and Omz coming back, is that all the action the club will be seeing?

 

6 inches of snow :lol: :lol: :lol:

:roll:

London at a standstill? Softies. What would Winston Churchill say.

 

Well, that and Giles Barnes.

After the match Saturday, Woy said he was talking with two players. Assuming Dacourt was one, there might be another deal in the works, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

Oops, I should have clarified: action on F5 day

 

Drove to work today and you would have thought we had a blizzard. England just ain't used to this white stuff. Got my winter driving training 'up nort' in chitown and pittsburgh

This may be old news but i thought I would post the link....

Olivier Dacourt And Brian McBride To Join Fulham - 2/1

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is set to go with experience and sign two players over the age of 33 as he tries to give his young side some strength and depth with the proposed signings of Olivier Dacourt and Brian McBride.

Frenchman Dacourt is set for a return to the Premier League after it was revealed that the 34-year-old was having a medical at Craven Cottage.

Dacourt will add much needed experience to the Fulham midfield after the club allowed Leon Andreasen to join German Bundesliga side Hannover, as well as letting influential midfielder Jimmy Bullard join Hull City in a deal worth around £5 million.

The club also confirmed yesterday the loan signing of Derby County youngster Giles Barnes with a view to a permanent contract at the end of the season.

Brian McBride is in line for a return to the club he left last year. The 36-year-old striker is rumoured to be on Hodgson's wanted list as back up for goal-shy Bobby Zamora, as well as Andy Johnson and Erik Nevland.

The American international was allowed to return to his homeland upon seeing out his contract with the west London club last summer, but now Hodgson wants him back to re-strengthen the side.

Currently with the Chicago Fire of Major League soccer, McBride is still considered a bit of a hero with the London outfit. An anonymous source at the club tells Goal.com that a loan deal for McBride is nearly complete and will see the American back at Craven Cottage soon.

 

Sully, there was some chatter about this earlier in the thread. Since I haven't seen the rumor reiterated anywhere today, I think it's probably bunk.

 

Agreed, I think its just paper talk. Missed it in the thread though.

 

A little off topic, but relevant to the transfer window. Check out the slide show. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28972533/
