The Mark Schwarzer speculation took up the entire summer. I thought the transfer rumors last summer regarding Brede Hangeland were bad. The Schwarzer stories were definitely worse, and more prevalent. As a fan it was difficult to see the potential of one of your players going to another team. Arsenal were definitely interested as they made a couple of bids for the Australian goalkeeper. In the end though Schwarzer did not leave this transfer window for Arsenal.
Ten Things I Think About Fulham Football Club

Last season every week I would post my ten thoughts that were on my mind regarding Fulham. Now that the transfer window is over I am bringing back the weekly post. There certainly is plenty of topics to choose from. Below are my " Ten Things I Think About Fulham Football Club".
1. Fulham were fortunate to get a draw at Blackpool. Going into the match I thought this was a game that Fulham should win. Blackpool were just promoted up from the Championship. Ian Holloway's club really surprised me. They played to win with a very attacking style of football. Fulham fought back late in the game to get the draw.
Blackpool's Luke Varney was great, and almost led his club to a victory. Blackpool is not a team to take lightly this season.
2. Fulham have been aggressive so far on the road. In the two road games so far this season, Fulham have not sat back and played defensively. They came out in both games playing an attacking style on the road. This style was encouraging to see from Fulham. Even though they have two draws on the road, I have a feeling we will start to see some victories. Last year under Hodgson it seemed that Fulham played more defensive away from Craven Cottage.

I had this morning a post that Eidur Gudjohnsen was on the verge of signing with Fulham. Now, I have a story that he will be moving to a different team. According to the Daily Mail, Gudjohnsen has signed a loan deal with Stoke City for the year with his parent club Monaco.
The story mentions that the Icelandic striker decided to go to Stoke City instead of heading to Fulham. Unfortunately, Fulham lost out on adding another striker before the end of the transfer deadline.

It is has been confirmed by Fulhamfc.com that Paul Konchesky has left Fulham, and will be joining Liverpool and Roy Hodgson. In return for Konchesky, Fulham are getting Liverpool players Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic as part of the deal. Fulham will also be getting cash as part of this agreement with Liverpool.
Lauri Dalla Valle is an 18 year old Finnish striker. He was with Liverpool since 2008. He has also played for Finland's Under 19 team.
Alex Kacaniklic is a 19 year old Swedish left winger. He was with Liverpool since the summer of 2007.
I want to wish Paul Konchesky well at Liverpool. He was a quality defender for Fulham, and was a part of this great run for the Cottagers.
