I would say a better result than his goal with Sainsbury keeping a clean sheet in his half in a 1-2 win vs Eerste divise side Sparta Rotterdam.

It's not everybody's dream to play first team football in the championship, so ignorant.

Mitroglou and Rodallega are likely out so it will probably be McCormack as first choice and Taggart, Dembele, Woodrow being the backup unless he plays two up front then McCormack and one other will be starters.

McCormack isn't that convincing , big season last year but not the best before that, never played higher then championship level , and is also played out wide some times so taggart isn't completely stuffed , not to forget that Fulham could play 40+ games including cups games next season he will surely see his fair share of action

For £11 million Fulham seem pretty convinced, but you're right, it's a long season and departures seem likely so he'll get his chance.

I can't believe they spent do much , they could have got any of these guys free
Bendtner
Eto'o
Berahino

Club Brugge are playing a friendly right here in St. Petersburg tonight, anyone know if Matty Ryan travelled? It'd be a real treat to see him play here. Tweeted him, but I don't have the most active personal twitter account so who knows if it will get through to him.

Well they are short of players in general with transfermarkt with them only having 18 players and their official website with them only 17 (both include 3 GKs). Defense is where they are really short but most squads have at least 23 in the Eredivisie so there are definitely positions available. I am guessing they don't have much cash and free transfers who are only on youth contracts are probably the cheapest option so all good there. The only question left is how good is he? He got a positive review a few days ago and scored today so I and going to be optimistic and say he has a good chance of getting a contract offer.

Yeah Ryan didn't travel to St. Petersburg with the squad, they only brought the one keeper.

Did you go to the game?

Panos Armenakas decides to leave Watford for Udinese despite interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea
By SAM CUNNINGHAM
PUBLISHED: 09:42 GMT, 11 July 2014 | UPDATED: 10:17 GMT, 11 July 2014

Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have been beaten to the signature of Watford wonder-kid Panos Armenakas.

The 16-year-old, who grew up in Australia, joined Watford's academy in 2012. The Hornets hoped he would stay with them in their youth set-up and named him as a first-year scholar in April.


New deal: Panos Armenakas puts pen to paper on a three-year deal at Udinese

But amid interest from leading Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool, Armenakas has agreed a three-year professional contract at Udinese, who are owned by the Pozzo family also in charge of Watford.

Before he moved to the Hertfordshire club, Armenakas had trained with Barcelona, Ajax and AC Milan and was watched by United and Chelsea. Somewhat ambitiously, Bolton Wanderers also flew him over for a two-week, all-expenses-paid visit in 2005.
In 2010, Armenakas played for AC Milan Under 12s in a junior annual world tournament in Portugal where he scored eight goals in seven games. He was the only non-Italian based player in the side.
Armenakas, who is Greek-Australian, was compared to Ronaldinho as a seven-year-old and has also drawn comparisons to Wayne Rooney when he was a teenager.
The left-footed attacking midfielder – who has a Greek-Australian father and American mother – is currently choosing to play for the Greek Under 17s, but it is understood he is also interested in representing Australia.
He is known as a playmaker, with sublime dribbling ability, eye for a pass and a finish to match.

A little more confirmation (ie: hype) on Armenakas' move to Italy:

FORTUNA SENDS TRAVIS COOPER RETURNED TO VVV
Fortuna sends Travis Cooper returned to VVV
New 07/11/2014 in News , Players

Fortuna Sittard VVV'er Travis Cooper scanned. The attacker of the Venlo club played earlier this week with the friendly match with Alverna, but could not convince the coaching staff.

Trainer Peter van Vossen: 'We have decided not to proceed with Travis. Dion Watson making progress on the right, we want development can not stand in the way. He wants this to be years and I see that back in training and in games.''

Davis had hinted that Pogba would be given a chance to impress in a more central striking role in pre-season and the Guinea international started in his more favoured role, flanked by Billy Waters and Inman.

He broke after recycling possession and fed Inman in the inside left channel. The former Newcastle man's shot was parried but Grant, who continued his run, fired home in the 24th minute.

It was then the turn of Norton keeper Joe Hemmings to take centre stage, first turning over a 12-yard drive from Waters and then getting down low to keep out an Inman left-foot volley from the resulting corner. Grant was running the game from central midfield and would have added to his tally, via a deflection, had it not been for another smart stop again by Hemmings.

Waters was enjoying his role coming off the flank and was to provide fellow wide man Inman the chance to slot home for 3-0 just before half-time which he duly did.
