Now Bellamy has gone to Cardiff perhaps we can get back to getting Roque santa Cruz in?
We were linked with him quite a bit a week or two ago -

I know he is a different type of player to Bellamy but does anyone think he is worth a loan deal?
...only on a pay per game played basis..!
Looking at his career stats ( from Wikipedia ) it looks like he is past his best and not the regular goal scoring striker that I think we need.

Sorry, the chart has not reproduced as well as it looks on the Wikipedia website.
I think you will find that it is Steven Ireland is the one we are really after, or so I am told.. :015:
I am willing to bet that the window closes without a single Man City, Blackburn or Welsh player coming to Fulham.
Eidur Gudjohnsen then anyone?

Thats a good shout tbf, and probably not the worst thing that could happen as it means Hughes has some original ideas for who he wants to sign.

Sorry I meant not getting in any Welsh/Man City players rather than Eidur Gudjonsen
Oh no, not Croque Santa Cruz! Are they after a sickroom buddy for AJ? Hopefully The Crock won't pass MAF's legendary medical.
Nah we'll probably end up signing the £20 million pound flop Jo!
