The Daily Mail has Fulham and Spuds interested in 19 year old CB Craig Dawson of Rochdale. Sounds like the club is trying to replicate the good bit of business the Smalling transaction produced.

 

Re: Dawson, he's got 9 goals in 34 League matches and 10 goals in 37 games in all competitions this season. That's pretty impressive for a CB.

 

Manager Mick McCarthy has conceded that Wolves have little chance of keeping £6.5m striker Kevin Doyle if they are relegated from the Premier League. Aston Villa, Fulham, Everton and Sunderland are all set to battle to sign the Republic of Ireland international if his side slip into the Championship.

Doyle's a good player. Can hold the ball up and quite lethal in front of goal. More of a guile rather than speed striker, though not slow.

 

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson, who enjoyed managerial spells with Udinese and Inter Milan prior to taking over at Craven Cottage, has admitted he would like to coach again in Italy before the end of his career.

Roy's actual quote was more along the lines of "if the opportunity were to arise, sure, why not?" than "I really want to go back to Italy", in case anyone was worried.

 

Fulham are favourites to snap up Wigan defender Paul Scharner when he quits at the end of his contract in the summer.

Anyone you think we might be interested in...?

 

I've heard the Tea lady makes a mean cuppa!!!

 

Kevin-Prince Boateng might be the type of player who could eventually be Murphy's replacement, and Tal Ben-Haim is pretty good too.

Maybe Superhero Niemi wants to come back to London to be the Aussie's backup?

 

ETA on the "Cousin to Fulham" shite-rumors?

 

The Scharner rumor came in early for me this year. I;m not impressed, most of the time I've seen him, he's too far forward, caught out of position, and leaking goals. Aside from that, he's wonderful.

 

Wasn't he he super sub Turkey had two years ago at the euro?

 

Apparently the Daily Telegraph has linked Hangeland with..........Arsenal. Great, more shit rumours to suffer through and we will probably go through the same thing with Zamora. Hodgson should come out and list both at £20m. That should end this rumour shit.

 

Well if Zamora is as good as gone then I guess we gotta hope City are interested so we could jack up the price.
