Positives:
Martin Jol has made some decent business in the transfer window. Replacing Mark Schwarzer with Maarten Stekelenburg is a very good like for like replacement in the goalkeeping department. Abel Taarabt coming on loan from QPR could be a good signing if his attitude is spot on from the start and Giorgos Karagounis has now been resigned for another year after initially being released to add some steel in the midfield. Fulham also with the players that are already there are capable of scoring a lot of goals and some very pleasing on the eyes watch out for those goals of the month- season competitions I am sure they will be one or two from Fulham this season.
Negatives:
Fulham were leaky at home last season and still need some reinforcements at the back. Fulham also have problems in which players like Dimitar Berbatov, Brian Ruiz and now Abel Tarrabt have very little inkling of running back and helping the team defensively which makes it harder for the others when Fulham do not have the ball to keep the opposition out at the other end and their defence is not strong enough at times to cope with that hence the dodgy home form from last season. If they can get a top quality defender and defensive midfielder in before the window shuts they could go places but at the moment they could have a struggle on their hands this season.
Prediction: 13th
