All the pundits and fans were saying Fulham needed to bolster their roster, particularly with quality, to cope with the Europa League and have a chance of matching last year’s successes.
Mission accomplished? Well, sort of…
Roy did add several new faces, but are they the class that the media and fans were wanting?
Former Brummie Stephen [...]
Amkar’s assault and battery

A Pyrrhic victory perhaps?
After cruising to a 3-0 lead, Amkar Perm rescue a crucial late away goal to blemish an otherwise respectable 3-1 result. And then we learn AJ will be out for 8 weeks with a dislocated shoulder/collarbone.
No wonder other managers throw in the towel in this competition at a certain point?
Roy is [...]
Our lad in Turku

Seems the TPS fans in Turku, Finland have taken warmly to Wayne Brown, and are sad to see him leave on August 16.
More (great) info from Nordic Football, replete with gushing quotes from the loanee about his stay:
“Please don’t take my Wayne Brown away” is the last line of a TPS supporters’ chant composed to [...]

Recently back from AmeriCorps orientation, fresh off the first day on the job of fighting poverty, and counting down the days until the season starts.
Which is just under a fortnight away.
All the preseason friendlies are over for the first team, as the scheduling powers decided to focus on the Europa League. And thanks to the [...]

So Bobby Zamora is staying, Peter Crouch isn’t coming, Peterborough almost win after being down 3-0, and the reserves squeak by Aldershot.
Been a busy 24-plus hours! Where to start?
Well, according to the News of the World, Hodgson said Zamora rejected terms with Hull. Whether that’s before or after he scored a brace against Peterborough [...]

After a relatively successful trip to Australia, the tune up for the Europa League began in earnest this evening…
Against Bournemouth and Woking.
Nevertheless, the first team drew 0-0 with the Cherries and Kamara featured after halftime. The reserves won 4-1 against Blue Square Premier Woking F.C. No details, including who even played, up on the [...]
Pawel Brozek

For those England-based fans patiently waiting for tomorrow’s draw to see where they’ll be on July 30 or August 6, they won’t be seeing Paweł Brożek.
Not because (we think) he’s staying in Poland, but he’s Cup-tied since he played in Wisła Kraków’s 1-1 draw with Levadia Tallinn in yesterday’s Champions League second qualifying round match.
Rats.
I [...]

Volzy, Barnes and Dacourt are amongst several players being released today.
John, Gray and Laribi (?) are also being let go.
No real surprises for any of them as Dacourt was the only player to even see the field last season.
Its still sad to see Volzy go. Hopefully he doesn’t hang up his boots. But if [...]
STITASS

Rich over at CCN has an interesting post series about to begin: silly transfers ideas.
Although I don’t mean to steal his idea, his challenge got me thinking about silly transfer ideas that aren’t so silly. Or STITASS. Essentially its a realistic dream; a dream that could be real.
He started with Michael Owen. Me, I’ve [...]
Loaner Report April 19
By: timmyg | No Comments
Sorry with the absence of the report as I was obviously away. But there have been two additions to the report, namely Wayne Brown being loaned to the Turku, Finland side Turun Palloseura, and Adam Watts is on loan to the League One outfit Northampton Town.
And whether or not Seol is coming back remains [...]
