Here’s the latest from the EPL Transfer Market:
Fulham have completed the signing of USA striker Eddie Johnson.

The 23-year-old leaves Kansas City Wizards for a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League strugglers, after his application for a work permit was successful late on Wednesday.

He joins Danish midfielder Leon Andreasen and Norwegian defender Brede Hangeland at Craven Cottage since the transfer window reopened.

Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson told his club’s official website: ‘I have made no secret of the fact that I believe the squad lacks a certain balance in specific areas of the team and following the loss of Brian McBride to injury, this is true of our strike force.

‘At 6ft 1in Eddie has the presence that will complement the other forwards within our squad and he has the ability to offer us another dimension to our attacking play.

‘I am delighted that he has joined us and am grateful to the representatives from the Home Office for granting him the work permit which will enable him to play for us as soon as possible.’

@ Bubba: Pffft, the Gunners were properly embarrassed by the Spurs, 5-1, in the Carling Cup. I suppose Wenger learns how far his younger players can really go.

Shaun Wright-Phillips is the latest to join the injury list with suspected ankle ligament damage. It was being assessed today but it is expected to keep him out for several weeks.

Bianchi will be looking for sure. Whether or not someone wants to pick him up is a different story. If there is an issue between him and Eriksson, he’s not going to see any action… ever.

Flamini has certainly been making more forays forward lately. He lacks a clinical finish in front of goal, though, so luck is important in his case.

Benny
MPet is good call. He’s been really consistent.
Wondering if Santa Cruz is cooling off.
Flamini might be due. He’s been a little more offensive minded this year. He was more of a defensive guy last year.

Here’s my lineup. Although waiting to see if there is a declaration of Anelka starting:

FOR
Torres (LIV)
Anelka (CHE)
Nugent (POR)

MID
Richardson (SUN)
Elano (MAC)
Ronaldo (MAN)
N’Zogbia (NEW)

DEF
Pamarot (POR)
Senderos (ARS)
Alex (CHE)

GK
James (POR)

Thanks for the comment Gentry. I’ll have to reconsider Ballack for my team.

Also, I just want to plug our Wed Night Mayhem show. Every Wednesday Night at 9PM EST on BLogtalk radio. Next week we are going to be having Heather from VH1’s Rock of Love, as well as musician Alicia Marie.

If you guys have myspace, add us as a friend

I’m off to play some Call of Duty 4 on PS3. I’ll be back again tomorrow for last minute updates as we get ready for this weekend’s games.

Much Love,

As recommended by my co-hosts, I’ll be making changes to my fantasy team, namely, getting rid of some players. My co-hosts inform me that is a good strategy to select players who will actually be on the field, I’ll be taking that to heart.
