He is the sort of player that may just click for the right team and make a name for himself, though I can't see it in the premiership. Good luck with him anyway, you might just be the right team for him.

I think you have got yourself a decent signing, quick good in the tackle as a defensive midfielder has just about every thing you need. The big let down is his passing if he can sort that out got yourselfs a very good signing

keane was reportedly happy to keep him at the sol, but decided to let him go because he was unlikely to get that many games with the addition of diouf, tanio and malbranque to the squad. personally, i am sorry to see him go because i think he has the ability to be a very good holding midfielder one day.

he reminds me of diop, strong in the tackle and fierce. Smertin is a great little player with a touch as well as a tackle, him and etutu and murphy rotating will be good as competition for places.
fulhams midfield has steel, pace, width and skill, a mid table finish is the minimum of what they should be aiming for.
Another top striker and left back and the team will be complete.

Dickson '2nd touch is a tackle' Etuhu is an athlete, quick and strong in the tackle but he cannot pass or shoot. During one home game he received the ball on the left when we were on the counter attack and under no pressure he just ran the ball out of play. Pure comedy, like something you do on a Fifa computer game. Anyone remember who it was against?

This makes me feel uncomfortable that Fulham may be about to lose Jimmy Bullard. If this happens we will be struggling to avoid relegation again

as a preston fan who's followed euthus career, i can say how unbelievable it is that TWO not just one managers think dickson is a premierhsip player. at preston he played second fiddle to the brian o'neil (in his 30's at the time) and paul mckenna, who has never had a sniff at the premier league.
never in the same class as murphy, bullard, teymourian and probably about 12 other fulham midfielders.

We've signed him as Andreasen is off to Hamburg apparently.

He seems decent, big and strong though I dont rate his technical ability, might prove like another Pantsil style gem of a player.

Well people have been saying Smertin is going to leave for some time now.

Andreasen is rumoured to be leaving, I guess we'll find out tonight.

Andranik is very versitle and can play in most midfield positions. I've never really considered him a DM but he plays there for Iran.

All in all, Etuhu offers something different with a bit of strength and power. Competition for places can't be a bad thing!
