Lewis: Fulham Res. vs. Barnet, 8/2 (R)/Lewis to Preston?

http://www.fulhamfc.co.uk/news/displaynews.asp?id=2248

Three assists for Eddie in a 7-0 W. Almost had a fourth, went 90 minutes. A heavily first team laden reserve squad.

The Whites wasted little time in getting the scoring under way and were 2-0 up inside 10 minutes. Andrejs Stolcers fired the first goal home after linking up well with Sava. The lead was doubled only a matter of minutes later when Sava got on the end of an Eddie Lewis cross to nod home.
The Whites almost made it six on the 70-minute mark after a sweetly struck Eddie Lewis corner found Zat Knight towering above his markers. Unfortunately, the young defender saw his powerful header slam down on to the goal line via the crossbar.
The sixth goal eventually about in untidy fashion in the 79th minute. With Barnet getting caught in possession on the edge of the box, Eddie Lewis seized on the opportunity and played the ball to the back post where both Hammond and Sava were waiting. After a series of ricochets, Hammond blasted the ball in from close range.
Stolcers wrapped up the scoring in the 89th minute as his run was found by an Eddie Lewis through-ball. The Latvian no mistake and clipped the ball past the advancing 'keeper.

When is a smart D1 or EPL team pick up on Eddie? Glad to hear he had a great game (again) for the reserves. Someone must take notice of his effectiveness on the cross and on taking corners. Shocking that no one has come in for him.

Once again, Eddie Lewis stamps his authority on a reserve match...Maybe one of these days...

This game was against Barnet Reserves, in case that wasn't clear.

(In a heavy French accent) Only THREE azzists? You want to play on ze first team when you only got THREE azzists? Sacre bleu!

Kinda of unrelated:


Does anyone know how much Eddie is taking home these days?

With the hurt that a lot of clubs are in as a result of the tv deal collapse, not sure there is much money around in D1 to pick up Eddie.

[Deimos]

There is not much money in D1 for Eddie and I don't see him moving to another EPL team. So, he will play in several games if Fulham gets into the UEFA Cup. As they should.

Soccernet is reporting that Eddie is heading to Preston North End.

From PNE's website:

Good news re PNE.

It was a long battle to see which was deeper -- Al-Fayed's wallet or Tigana's grudge -- but it appear's Tigana's grudge is the winner...

[snorklefish]

From: http://www.soccernet.com/england/ne...5ffchayles.html

"The players replacing Hayles and Lewis will be a left-back and a striker, both recruited from abroad."

Much as I'd like to see one of our National Team Strikers move to the Premiership, I hope Tigana isn't looking west. Of course, even if he was, our guys wouldn't go willingly into the tarpit, would they?

[BuffloSoldier]

Seriously doubt it--I'll take the easy guess and say they'll be French players.

FINALLY!!! :)

Too bad we won't get to see him play much over here...but I am glad he is going someplace he can play on a regular basis. It sounds like PNE is working on building a better team. They were just out of the playoff hunt last year...maybe this year they can get in and get promoted!!!

Eddie Lewis to PNE may be finalised...

Buff, you were a little quick to delete my threads there. A new thread discussing actual news surrounding Lewis rather than a thread about a walk-over game that I'd already chosen to ignore is useful. By the same token, opening a new Kirovski thread when actual news surfaced instead of relegating it to a thread that is several pages of month-old specualtion seems silly.

I am willing to bet that other people would find it useful to have new threads about confirmed 'news', and that someone else just might start the new threads again. Not trying to tell you how to do your job, but what I think would be more useful as a casual reader of these boards who chooses not to dig through less interesting threads for real news.

Cheers

Nick

Couldn't agree with this more. Why is news of a possible transfer of Lewis to PNE buried in a thread about a reserve match?

I appreciate your efforts to moderate this forum. However, this seems to be a bit of overkill.

Another article on BBC...

I hope this happens soon.

[Deimos]

Tigana hopes to use money from the sales of Hayles and Lewis to buy a left-back and striker from abroad.

Has Al Fayad run out of money or is he trying to make this a money making operation? Good luck on that!
