Translates to "New challenge." and was posted yesterday - Looks like the man is on his way.
All I have to say is that if we are offloading our quickest and probably most clinical finisher and not getting anybody else in then this is terrible for the club. We are already stretched up top and if Kamara leaves and noone else is brought in I think it will be a huge error or judgement by the club. I would still love to see Bobby and Dio up front together
That would be my preferred front two as well. Loan out sicknote AJ instead.
Well I am hoping we will get a player in. But even if we do they will not be as good as Kamara. Who was without doubt our best finisher and worth the entrance money alone for his skills. I can only imagine Kamara wanted to go out on loan. If this came from Fulham then I am shocked and ready to moan. If we only have Okaka as a replacement all I can say is. We are going to struggle for 40 points.
I have to admit that I heard we MIGHT loan out two players and thought AJ would be one.
I would far rather AJ be loaned out than Dio. However, Roy would never loan out a player, particualrly one bought for £10 million, who he has bought while at the club. Hence why AJ will ALWAYS start ahead of Nevland / Dio is he is fit alongisde Bobby. Roy has an issue with dropping AJ I believe
Clinical?

Clinical?
By far our most clinical. The only glaring miss I can remember was a few years ago against Chelsea late at the dog track.
Definitely clinical - did you see his goals against man city in the Great Escape? I dont think any of our other forwards could have scored those goals
On his day he's clinical, but how rarely is his day? Man City 07/08 and Villa at home last season I think. Can produce magic (Spuds) but he's my 4th choice too, and that would be 5th behind Okaka if he comes in. Aside from the last couple of matches I would fancy Nevland to take most chances better than Dio.
Dio has his moments, but there is far too much head down and ending up out wide for my liking, but then that's my opinion, and one brace a season doesn't make him a starter in my book
he's exciting to watch but he's not that clinical because of his composure, he tends to dally on the ball in good shooting positions. I mean, I don't want him to go, but I think that this is definately a case of 'absense makes the heart grow fonder', he's good but not amazing. it also means we're getting 2 forwards in on monday which is quite exciting.
He's lazy and doesn't defend. He doesn't fit our system. Good luck to him!

He does have some memorable finishes but I thought it was his laziness towards defense that upset the fans. In our system, we're supposed to defend from the front.
On his day he is one of the best strikers in the league - his blistering pace , ability to finish along with height and touch are second to none when he turns up.
The only problem is you never know if he will.
I would love to have him stay and think that he, Okaka and Zamora would cause any defence problems - almost could be labelled the three musketeers or whatever...
I would be sad to see him to if he does, he's truly won me over since he first came and was definately worth the £6 mill... not only are his goals clinical and important (he saved us at Man City - helped us win at Newcastle getting us into europe! etc etc) he seemed to really want the fans approval...
Remember just this season when we were playing Hull at Craven Cottage? - He came on and first thing he did was ran into bullard pushing him over to rapturous applause.
I would really like it if he stayed as he adds a lot to us and comes up with important goals but we'll see...

I'll have some of whatever Lork is drinking please! ;D
I have always liked Kamara. On the upside he is quick, unpredictable and capable of finding moments of brilliance that can lift the whole squad. On the downside he seems to be on the trainers table frequently. All in all he is no Fernando Torres but I think he is a much bigger threat on goal than the equally oft injured AJ has been at Fulham.
Speaking of our fastest and most clinical finsisher.... Eddie Johnson scored his first goal with ARIS FC today late in the match...guess who he combined with for the goal? Thats right...FACTMAN himself Freddy Adu...
I bet Eddie is looking at sick note AJ and going... really... you want to keep that but not give me a chance to play...hahaha
Here is hoping Roy has Okaka lined up.... Dio and Roy do not get along according to most.
Really? any links to Eddie's goal? Wow, I've dreamt about seeing a ball hit the back of the net from his boot, but never did i think it would happen!
It more than likely came off his aris instead

aarh theres no rofl smillie either. ;D
Here is Eddies goal from Sunday...actaully almost scored the game winnner against Panathinaikos the week before in the final minute but the keeper made the save of his career. I found that vid too...Eddie did everything right but the keeper lept out of no where to tip over the bar.

Something told me a clear offside would be involved. And we think the refs in the Prem is bad?
Finnster...come on mate give the kid a little love...that was a perfectly timed run...he was not offside you bloody well know it... great little chip ball by Factman himself Freddy Adu...
In fact...pause the vid @ 24 secs just as Freddy unloads the pass...EJ is actually well onside with a fantastic diagonal run...the finish was very lucky but considering all the bad luck that kid has had... nice that a ball bounced his way again...
Offsides by a mile. Nevland was more onside last time around on several occations than EJ was in that clip
Finnster... either you are blind as a bat or just being stubborn like usual...my vote is the latter...
I may be blind according to you Mr McScratch, but I still think it was offside. We have had many worse at Fulham.
I also believe that this site doesn't approve of personal insults which I think your post was and you should know better than that.
Oh for heaven's sake... you know that was in no way intended as a true insult... you know I always bust your chops about your disdain for a one Edward Johnson... ease up mate...we are all cheer on the same boys
never offside. it was a really good run actually but you'd expect to him to finish from there.
Getting back to Joe, some fantastic goals against losing him to injuries the African Nations Cup and the ever decreasing circles he would run in. He'll score loads in Scotland because it's an easier league. Good luck to him, he seems a nice fella.
Clearly offside, and so do the greeks think
