Matteo's career uncertain
Strike suffers possible "career ending" injuries from car accident, possibly next
on release list
The remains of Lam Matteo's car after his head on accident two days ago.
Doctors and medical staff for Fulham FC have listed American striker, Lam Matteo, in "critical"
condition, noting that he has had "severe blood loss", a "broken right leg" and "several" broken
ribs.
Matteo, now 23-years of age, began his career for the Cottagers in 2011 during the January
transfer window from Hull City. The striker has bagged 75 goals for the club, including 15 Man
of the Match awards. Along with his dedication to Fulham, Matteo represented the
United States in the 2014 World Cup this summer.
Prognosis has remained at its worse and according to sources, Matteo could be released
indefinitely so that Fulham Football Club can avoid the financial instability from the
young man's current salary.
"We expect to have a decision by the end of next week," states manager Roy Hodgson,
"However, I am deeply saddened and will do my best to make sure Matteo remains
a Cottager - even if he is not on the field, he will be with Fulham no matter what."
Matteo is set to go into operational surgery for the mentioned injuries this week.

Cottagers release Matteo in January
Hodgson and Fulham issue tough decision to fallen striker
Breda Hangeland and Fulham players will wear the black armband to signify their respect for Matteo.
The Cottagers have not played well without Matteo either.
The end for Matteo's career with Fulham FC has finally come. Rumors had it that the
beginning of the year, the striker would look for another home - but that was before his
horrific accident that has left the American crippled for an unknown amount of time.
"It has been an incredible experience," states Matteo from his bedrest, "Fulham is where I
would love to end my career - and it quite possibly could be. I am so very gracious to have
met the individuals I have, I wish them all the best - and maybe someday I will see
them on the pitch again."
Matteo's surgeries to his broken leg and ribs were successful. According to some
optimistic sources, he has already begun rehab for the sustained injuries.
However, even with the best rehab, Fulham's #8 will never achieve the level of play he
has produced les than a month ago.
Matteo was released with no penalties, his 1840P salary has been cut down significantly
due to surgery and operations cost.
A sorry ending to one of the greater strikers for Fulham FC, we pray for you Lam Matteo.

March 2016 Edition
What I say!? Here he comes, don't call it a comeback, my friends! The magazine interviewed Matteo (and paid him handsomely) and their probing questions resulted in some definite good news.
In response to the question, "How long till your 100 percent?", he replied, "I'm ready."
In response to the question, "What clubs are looking at you?," he replied, "I have had 2 offers - both in the Championship (England) for the reserve squads."
So Matteo has two offers from teams unknown for now (I will find out), but the amazing comeback could be here any moment. It has been 2 yeras, but it has felt like a lifetime.
According to some sources, he will have to go through a key training match that will dictate what level of play he will be able to play. After that, if the offer remains from the two clubs, he may select which he would like to sign for.

DECISIONS
Three believers in Matteo's comeback
By Johnson Peoples (Editor) - 2:15 pm (6/5/2016)
What say you nay-sayers of a comeback? Oh, that's right - "He'll never walk again", or "He will never make it back to football..."
- HA!!
Matteo has received three (3) offers from some well stood teams of the Coca Cola Championship One.
The first, Preston North End, a club located in Lancashire. Two years champions of the First Division (and several times runner up)
, the club possesses mainly local talent and has offered Matteo a spot on the bench with 150 P.
The second, Swansea City, a club located in Wales, has a rich tradition and incredible history of top notch football. With trials of
up and down (similar to Matteo), Swansea City FC understand where Matteo is coming from the most, and are offering 150 P.
Lastly, Sheffield United - nicknamed "The Blades" - is a club located in South Yorkshire. The club hosts the oldest known
football ground in all the world, Brammal Lane. The club is also offering Matteo 150 P - but are the only ones who have stated
they intend to start him right away.
So those are the choices, Matteo has informed me that he plans on making a decision "very soon". If it were me, I would go with
Sheffield United just because they have stated how eager they are for Matteo to suit up and play. I think if he plans on getting
back to the Premiership - this would be the way.
Eitherway, joyous all around - the minute he touches the field, I'll be squealing with joy like a little girl.

Matteo inks with Welsh club
By Johnson Peoples (Editor) - 10:29 am (6/25/2016)
Here we are again, a great moment in the history of Lam Matteo's footballing career.This morning, Matteo met with the club,
and came out with the no. 11 jersey in hand.
"I am a man without words," says the American, "This moment is more important to me than any moment in my life."
Matteo signed a 2-year contract with the club, worth 150 P. Manager Paulo Sousa, who has been in charge since 2009, felt the
investment of Matteo was not only "iconic", but could actually help the team's morale after a dismal 2015 season.
"It is with great confidence that Matteo join the club. He has been through the most adversity - and I am more than just a manager
of this player, I am a fan for what he represents."
Matteo is not expected to start right away, but factors could change in the next month. Swansea City open their 2016 campaign
against Bristol City on the 1st of August.

(click image for video)
By Johnson Peoples (Editor) - 10:29 am (10/30/2016)
Well, it's about damn time.
Manager Paulo Sousa finally gave in and decided that he will not be winning any Championships (or fans) if he continues to keep the hungry striker that is Lam Matteo at bay.
"He (Matteo) has had a great stint of form as of late. I hope he will be the goal scoring threat Swansea are in desperate need of."
The need for goals is always a priority, but Matteo's maturity has brought the American striker into a more supportive role in Sousa's 4-5-1 as a midfielder.
"Yeah, it's a new thing for me," says Matteo, "But I want to play - so I will play anywhere".
Matteo will be placed on the bench for the upcoming match this Saturday against 11th place Barnsley.

Swansea City midfielder Lam Matteo celebrates as soon as the ball bulges the
back of the net for his debut goal.
Prematch: Barnsley (11th, 15pts) - Swansea City (8th, 16pts)
Both sides come into the match expecting to gain all 3 points from one another. Barnsley have been off key as of late with only 2 points in the last 4 matches, while Swansea City have had a scoring drought despite Lee Trundle's best effort to adapt to manager Paulo Sousa 4-5-1 system.
Halftime: Barnsley 2-3 Swansea City
For a team unable to find the back of the net, Swansea City have located some much needed fire power through Lee Trundle's strikes, along with a cool finish by Nathan Dyer. On the other side was Iain Hume for the home team, notching two goals of his own - and constantly looking to score.
Fulltime: Barnsley 4-4 Swansea City
Lam Matteo's strike in the 58th minute was the goal that drew the game, and each side for a point a piece. The midfielder scored on his debut for Swansea City, and almost found another if not for a good save by Luke Steele of Barnsley. Steele was there again to stop a sure match winner when substitute Thomas Butler wriggled free, but the left footed shot was pushed away by Steele.
Barnsley Goals: Hume 13,33 - Colace 47 - Macken 53
Swansea City Goals: Trundle 19, 24 - Dyer 21 - Matteo 58

Swansea City v Nottingham Forest
Matteo was the shining light for the Swans tonight.
Prematch: Swansea City (8th, 17pts) - Nottingham Forest (12th, 14pts)
Swansea were relieved to come away with a point last week against Barnsley, and are looking to go into tonight's match with a full 3 point showing. Ex-Fulham player, Lam Matteo scored his debut last week, and it will be no surprise if manager, Paulo Sousa chooses to place the
American into the midfield during the second half.
Halftime: Swansea City 0-1 Nottingham Forest
Paul Anderson took advantage of some shoddy defending by Swansea, after the initial shot by McGoldrick was saved by De Vries. Lam Matteo has been given the signal to come on for underperforming Joe Allen.
Fulltime: Swansea City 2-1 Nottingham Forest
The man of the hour, the "Wonder-man" as he is being dubbed in Swansea, saves the day for the Swans, as the midfielder comes into the second half and does nothing but score two magnificent goals.
Swansea City Goals: Matteo 59,69
Nottingham Forest Goals: Anderson 45

Reading v Swansea City
Matejovsky's second half goal was enough to push Reading past Swansea.
Prematch: Reading (8th, 21pts) - Swansea City (9th, 20pts)
Rainy conditions for the first time this season. It should not make a difference to either side. Swansea are coming to "hostile" environment, but have been stealing points well thanks to Lam Matteo - who is on the bench again today, but will surely see some action in the second half considering his man of the match brilliance last week in Swansea.
Halftime: Reading 1-0 Swansea City
A beautiful play down the right side of Swansea, and Reading found the go ahead goal thanks to Noel Hunt who's diving header left De Vries helpless. Swansea are not looking attack minded today - Lam Matteo is expected to change that in the second half surely.
Fulltime: Reading 2-1 Swansea City
Free flowing football eclipsed in this match, and despite a goal by Lee Trundle (Matteo assist), the Swans fell just short thanks to Marek Matejovsky's 46-th minute goal.

Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday
Prematch: Swansea City (11th, 20pts) – Sheffield Wednesday (16th, 16pts)
Sheffield Wednesday are coming off of a full three points in their win against Bristol City, while Swansea struggled defensively, giving up an early second half goal last week to Reading – which turned out to be the match winner. Manager Paulo Sousa has given super-sub Lam Matteo a chance in the attacking fold as the attacking midfielder in the 4-5-1 formation. With 3 goals and an assist to his name through 3 games, he will certainly be a threat to the Wednesday goal.
Halftime: Swansea City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday
It was a great setup by Angel Rangel on the right flank to striker Stephen Dobble. Dobble's header flew into Lee Grant's upper right hand corner to put the homeside up 1-0 in the 10th minute. Wednesday did not seem to have their attacking mindset checked, as only 1 shot was absorbed in the first half.
Fulltime: Swansea City 1-0 Shefield Wednesday
A cagy affair ends with Swansea winning 1-0. The three points were badly needed after last week's loss to Reading - and the boys delievered today.
Swansea City Goals: Dobble 10

Tate and Swansea players celebrate in the 87th minute.
Prematch: Swansea City (10th, 23pts) – Middlesbrough (4th, 27pts)
Middlesbrough have been on a tear as of late, and coming into town today they will be looking to continue that form against the home side, Swansea. The pairing of Lam Matteo and Lee Trundle stagged up front only produced one goal against Sheffield Wednesday last week, but Dorus De Vries has been making some wonder saves when needed.
Halftime: Swansea City 0-0 Middlesbrough
A defensive battle, neither team wants to give up any chances - and with only 2 shots on goal each, it is looking to be a stale mate.
Fulltime: Swansea City 2-1 Middlesbrough
Well we have just witnessed an incredible match tonight. Swansea winning it in the dying minutes of the second half thanks to a superb header by defender Alan Tate on the corner. All three points come home tonight, Paulo Sousa looks like a genius overthrowing Boro!

Newcastle United v Swansea City
Prematch: Newcastle United (1st, 36pts) – Swansea City (8th, 26pts)
Newcastle top the league with most goals scored (35) and least goals conceded (12) through 17 matches. The brilliant keeping of Steve Harper has been a theme at St. James this season, while Peter Lovenkrands and Marlon Harewood's partnership up front has proved to be worthy of praise. Swansea's lack of depth is starting to show as Lam Matteo and left back Federico Bessone barely passed the medical test before the match time. Swansea will be hoping to both players, along with their teammates, can sustain the Magpies tonight.
Halftime: Newcastle United 0-0 Swansea City
Neither side has found the breakthrough, both sides seem to be feeling eachother out before striking on target. The clear cut chance was at the head of Lovenkrands for Newcastle - but the shot glanced just above De Vries crossbar.
Fulltime: Newcastle United 0-0 Swansea City
A match that was built up to be a scorcher turned out to be a stale mate. The best chances fell to the Magpies, but the woodwork saving De Vries and company twice. A point for each side, neither manager should complain - but certainly some group therapy is needed to find some goals next week.
