herron & jaqua won't be needed if rolfe, barrett, and carr are able to capitalize, and i don't have much doubt that they won't find the back of the net.

Craven Cottage is an excellent place to catch some EPL football. I was luckly enough to catch a Fulham v. Blackburn game there last season and even got to go down on the pitch to meet Brian McBride after the game which made for an exciting first EPL experience.

Wait, they're going after Onyewu, too? I mean, Fulham knows how the U.S. did in the World Cup right? I love my countrymen, but does anyone think stockpiling Yanks for a team in the Premiership would be a good idea? I'd still totally root for them if they do become "Team America", though. I heard Craven Cottage is an awesome place to see a game.

Matt - Fulham signed Dempsey last week. There was a delay while he waited for a work permit. I think they paid the MLS close to $4 million in the deal.

Isn't Fulham looking at Clint Dempsey too?

The Fire verified the trade of Andy Herron this afternoon to the Columbus Crew. It turns out the Fire received the second pick and also Forward Ryan Coiner in the deal. Seems like a fairer deal that Herron a proven goal scorer was not traded solely for the draft pick.

I saw the Borgetti rumor shot down in Luis Arroyave's blog last week. Nedved seems to still be active, though. And this could mean it's put up or shut up time for Chad Barrett.

Pavel Nedved? Surely you jest. How about McBride AND Nedved?

Backdraft?

Yeah it will be amazing if Fulham keeps McBride and they do end up brining in Oguchi Onyewu as well.

They trade Herron to get a defender? He sounds solid, but dang. And what's with Fulham going after every American they can? Is this some clever ruse to make me switch Premiership alligences from Liverpool to Fulham? Well played, Fulham... well played.
