[kyhadley]

Lam Matteo has struck gold this year with 20 goals near the midpoint, this time scoring two goals in the victory against Sunderland.

Thankful. If it wasn't for the brilliant play by Kamara, Matteo would not have scored any goals today. It is the unselfish play like that which has guided Matteo to the top of the scoring charts in the Premier League this year (17 in league, 20 for all competitions).

This game is for PS3? The graphics look pretty shitty for a PS3 game. But I can't wait to see where you go Matt. Should be interesting. I'll be waiting for it.

Nah, the graphics are good (I have it as well)


We better hear some good news Matthew, or else.... well I guess you'll just keep playing. :shifty:

I looked real quick today and saw that Matteo received 1 offer. Kind of dissapointed, but we'll see.

 

[kyhadley]

The first week doesn't usually have anything great. Gotta wait til at least 4.

TRANSFER NEWS HOURLY - Lam Matteo

It's that time again, could Lam Matteo's time at Fulham (1250 P) come to close? Where would he go next. We document the 4 weeks of the January transfer window.

• Negotiations - week 1 - Sunderland ofering 1250 P, Matteo is going to sit and wait for more teams to trickle in for now. -- REJECTED
  

• Negotiations - week 2 - Keeping up with the Premiership theme, Matteo receives offers from Hull City (1440 P), Sunderland (1330 P) and Portsmouth (1380 P), the striker doesn't see any need for a big change here. -- REJECTED.
  

• Negotiations - week 3 - Sunderland withdraw their offer, as does Hul City. The only team remaining is Portsmouth (1330 P) - Matteo, once more, says no. -- REJECTED
  

• Negotiations - week 4 - Once again, Portsmouth emerge, this time offering a staggering 1490 P, however Matteo says no for the last time. In addition to Portsmouth, Blackburn offer a pathetic 1380 P. -- REJECTED
  

Sadly, it was a dissapointing transfer window that came and gone. Matteo has stated he did not feel a move away from the Cottage was necessary. "There were no teams that struck me. I feel like there is still more out there. We (Fulham) are in a good spot right now, if we can keep our form - we could win the premiership."

 

[kyhadley]

don't blame you for rejecting those

ah well, 'til next transfer window!

 

[Matt10]

Lol yeah, they were not beneficial at all. It's okay.

Agbonlahor was the recepient of two Lam Matteo assists, then Matteo found himself on the scoring sheet.

Phew. It's odd that Matteo still received a low rating considering he had two assists and a goal. It is a relief, however, that he managed to find a goal out of nothing - so good to see he is still true to form since the transfer window elapsed.

Disappointing transfer window. Was really hoping something would emerge that was of interest for Matteo. Hopefully the remainder of the season goes well and the next transfer window brings some better offers.

I was too, but Fulham are still going strong. Hopefully this will just buy Matteo some more merit for bigger clubs to look at him. We will see.

Worst come to worst, he stays at the club he loves. Poor guy.

 

[Matt10]

hey matt, how long does BAP go for in PES?

i hate fifas four year crap

I believe it's 20-30 years, Matty - but can't be sure.

Sounding like Torres for Liverpool. Said despite offers from bigger clubs he wants to stay in the red jersey until they want to get rid of him or his contract runs out.

I respect your decision to stay. Are you thinking a bigger move would be to Spain or Italy?

Exactly how I feel, I think Matteo fairs better with a team like Fulham. There is not so much overbearing talent on the team to the point it almost cancels itself out. In 2014 (the year he is in) Blackburn have Rosicky, Saha and Ballack - yet they are worthless in the lower half of the table.

A move to Spain - it's crossed my mind. I honestly can't wait for the offseason, just to see what is presentd. But now that I am not seeing a pattern in regards to offers, I'm a bit cautious in getting my hopes up.

Agbonlahor's nice dribbling forced Coutadeur to take him down in the box, but Matteo was unable to take advantage from the spot.

Damn. He had his chance to step up and be the hero, from only a few yards away - instead, he blew it. I suppose he has carried the team since day one - so we should take it easy on Matteo, but the momentum factor hurts because Manchester United is up next in the Quarterfinals of the Premiership Cup. Pick it up son!

 

[kyhadley]

ya pulled a cubs on that one...

 

[Matt10]

Sorry ocho - you're right, I need to get on there. If I get home at a decent time tonight, I think we might have enough time to play some football.

v Manchester United - Prem Cup - 1st Leg

 

[Matt10]

Frustratingly stupid. Matteo didn't play the worst match in his life, but not even close to his best effort. He had chances to score and hit shots on target - but the saves by Gomes were fairly routine. Often times the striker tried to dribble past the United defense, but ended up losing the ball or taking a mistep. The defensive line was all the way to the half, so through balls were almost out of the question. Just a frustrating match.
