It’s Monday and that could only mean one thing…more transfer rumors. The Cottagers are close to sealing the deal with another Norwegian international plus a South Korean striker.
Starting with the Norwegian, Fulham are close to signing a deal with striker Erik Nevland. Nevland played for Roy Hodgson when Roy was the head man at Viking FC. He’s scored a ton of goals for his current club, FC Gronigen and apparently Roy feels Erik will be a nice fit for the club. Not sure how I feel about this seeing as how I never watch Norwegian soccer but at this point, it can’t get any worse at the Cottage, so, whatever.
Roy also seems impressed with South Korean striker Cho Jae Jin. He currently plays for Shimizu S-Pulse. He’s been having trials at Craven Cottage for the past week. I guess other European clubs have shown interest in the past but S-Pulse seems to want to hang on to the guy. Not sure this deal will happen.
I’m still waiting to hear about the situations with Marlon King & Eddie Johnson. Marlon failed a physical and Johnson has a hearing apparently this week to find out if he can get a work permit or not.
Should be another fun week. Remember, the FA Cup replay with Bristol is tomorrow. From what I’ve been able to gather, there is no TV coverage in the U.S., so I’m going to have to follow a match cast from work or something.
