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

Sorry, guys, I don't think we have a quorom. Sen. Kennedy is in the drunk tank...

 

Yep, we get along well that Teddy and I. Just don't talk about bridges around him.

 

Either Fulham has big plans for the reserves league...

Or Tigana really is the devil!!

Actually, I think Fulham is asking for $$$ because they know PNE has it, after the sale of another player.

It's sort of like in baseball...the Phillies would ask more for Scott Rolen from the Braves than the Cards, because they know the Braves have more talent in their organization. It's not fair, but it's perfectly reasonable for the Phillies or Fulham to act that way.

 

That is a chunk of change for a reserve player. Of course, he is a World Cup vet and I am sure Fulham is reminding PNE of that very fact.

 

Fulham had another reserve match today against Brentford. According to Fulham's site Eddie didn't play. They don't list the bench players who didn't make it into the match, though, so no idea if he was there. Marcus started and played the first half, presumably because Fulham have their 2nd leg Intertoto match in France later today and sent their top 2 keepers there.

I would doubt Eddie is going to France, but I don't know and haven't been able to find a squad list or projected lineup for that match. I think the Intertoto match is at 1:30 Eastern today, by the way.

 

Eddie traveled with the team to France. According to the BBC.
