Dempsey's Volley Against Stoke

Opa!!!!

Fulham F.C. has announced that Eddie Johnson has been sent on loan to Greek club Aris Salonika until the end the season. After only appearing 4 times for the Cottagers this year, EJ is hoping for more playing time as he looks to secure a spot on the U.S. World Cup roster. Aris Salonika sits in a 3 way tie (Kavala, Panionios) for 5th in the Greek Super League. They are hoping Eddie can give them the added offensive boost to claim the final Europa League spot. At this point I don't have too much optimism for Eddie, but I do wish him the best. I have never doubted his skill, talent or his ambition, but after a sub par loan with Cardiff and failed attempt with Fulham, I'm starting to wonder if his lack of success is more mental than anything. I do hope this opportunity is the break through he needs and he finally lives up to the potential we all see.

New Castle United sells Duff to Fulham.

I still don't know how I feel about this. If Duff can regain his form from his first season at Chelsea, this could be great. IF, he can stay healthy. Also, how will this effect Dempsey? Let me know your thoughts.

LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Fulham have signed Newcastle United’s Ireland winger Damien Duff on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old, who cost about four million pounds ($6.57 million) according to British media, is the latest high-profile player to leave Newcastle after they were relegated from the Premier League in May.
Forward Michael Owen has moved from St James Park to Manchester United while defenders Habib Beye and Sebastien Bassong have joined Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
“I am happy my move to Fulham has been completed and look forward to joining in with the rest of the squad’s training programme immediately in preparation for two important home matches this week,” Duff told www.fulhamfc.com.
“Fulham had a fantastic season last year and I know having spoken to the manager (Roy Hodgson) in recent days the club’s ambitions are high and I’m looking forward to the challenges.”
Duff, who has 75 caps, made his name at Blackburn Rovers after his debut in 1997 before a 17 million pounds move to Chelsea in 2003—a record at the time for the west London club.
However, injuries disrupted his time at Chelsea and he joined Newcastle in 2006.
“I have known Damien for over a decade since he broke into the first team at Blackburn when I was manager, so I’m fully aware of his qualities and I am looking forward to working with him again,” Fulham boss Roy Hodgson said.
