Silvestre?? He'd be the perfect pairing with that old Croatian dude Dirty Sanchez bought in from pompey!

Fulham target Eidur Gudjohnsen and Mikael Silvestre, set to seal Rafik Halliche dealAugust 10, 2010|Transfer gossip|0 Comments|
             
Fulham manager Mark Hughes isn't wasting any time in trying to bolster his squad, lining up moves for Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen and French defender Mikael Silvestre .
Eidur Gudjohnsen was on loan at Tottenham from AS Monaco last season but a permanent move to the north Londoners broke down after Spurs chief Daniel Levy insisted that coach Harry Redknapp offload some of his fringe players before buying the former the dark side forward.

Mikael Silvestre is out of contract at Arsenal and his proposed move to Dubai failed to materialize.

Meanwhile, Rafik Halliche is poised to complete his £2.5million transfer to the Cottagers from Benfica in the next 24 hours.

The Algeria World Cup defender, who will have a medical at Fulham tomorrow, called the move to the Premier League "simply sensational."

They could be 100 years old each as far as I'm concerned, as long as they can contribute something to the team, I'm not going to lose sleep - I mean, look at Smurph, not exactly in the fountain of Youth himself!!  :005:

[AlFayedsChequebook]

Halliche - Excellent signing
Gudjohnson - Excellent if short deal, I am sure can really contribute something
Silvstre - On a free, can play left back, not bad but hardly excites. Still he obviously still has something since he played at Arsenal last year.

[TonyGilroy]

He didn't play well at Arsenal last season and they didn't want to keep him.

I would find Silvestre a very odd and frankly dispiriting acquisition.

Gudjonson though still oozes class.

[OldBrownShoe]

Sivestre doesn't appeal to me either.

With these rumours of three players coming in, it makes me think that we may be about to lose some too. I may be quite wrong. There is nothing wrong with building a strong squad until the players left on the bench start to  be unsettled.  In any case would prefer we brought younger players in.

...I would prefer Tweety Pie to Silvestre.. :031:

[sipwell]

Silvestre might be out for "revenge" since he has been called up by Domenech to play for the French squad. Since Blanc has taken over - and he promised to get the French team back on track, with or without the WC failures - Silvestre might see a chance to get another number of caps (especially since French defence is particularly weak atm), on the condition that he plays often for the team he is with.

[Teabag]

Yes, but 2 of them are defenders and surely we need to strenthgen midfield not the defense? A long term replacement for Murphy should be the priority. Like the idea of Gudjohnson along side Zamora.

[epsomraver]

According to the Sun so it must be true, Friedel telling O'neill he wanted to go to Fulham made him quit?

[Jimpav]

I like the sound of that Epsom, if Schwarz is going then Friedal would be a suitable replacement.

Yippe Kay yay.

this juxtoposition has always made me smile since the days when, as a teenager, my immediate boss was named Tweedie and HIS immediate boss was named Sylvester. I'm sure this didn't give them the joy that it gave all their underlings.
