Nevland signed, finally!
Well, it looks as if the rumors were true and the drama is finally over. Sky Sports is reporting that Erik Nevland has signed with Fulham for £1.85M with £500,000.00 more to be paid if the club avoids relegation. According to Sky the striker is currently undergoing a physical.
We now have confirmation from the club.
He is a player that I know well and I am confident he will contribute to the squad to assist us in this, and further, campaigns.
After joining FC Groningen he quickly established himself as a firm favourite both with the fans, and with the management, and it has been no easy task securing his signature at Fulham.
-Roy Hodgson-
Seems like a lot of money for a 30 year-old with only two caps for his country. But needs must and he does have a very good scoring record in the Eredivisie (almost one every other game). He was also once tipped to be an absolute legend when he was at ManU so who knows. Most likely he will end up being a bit like David Healy — signed because the manager is familiar with him and not quite up to scratch in the long run. But if he can grab us the winning goal against Bolton tomorrow that transfer fee will have been justified.

Well, sounds like we have another striker option.
Healy keeps falling further and further down the depth chart.

Could be good. Might not be. Strikes me as another who’s likely to be pretty effective in next season’s march towards Championship glory, but we shall see.
