On the Jay DeMerit side of things, don’t look too much into it as it the rumor has only popped up in two places. One being the UK’s Telegraph and the other a quick mention of the rumor in BBC’s Gossip section. Then again, they are reporting a tabled bid of around $7 million for Watford young’un Hameur Bouazza which Skysports confirms, so maybe there is some truth to it as a joint bid.
DeMerit to Watford would make four Americans – and what a good group it would be. Looks like the ghost of Chris Coleman has left his mark (and no, Coleman is not dead – he’s just in the LIGA BBVA – second division Spain). Bouazza to Craven Cottage would be their best signing of the offseason – hands down, this kid can play. Here’s a compilation of goals against Manchester United last year with Bouazza being featured as one of the best. He is at 5:41. Watch them all though – they’re pretty damn good.
My verdict: Bouazza to Fulham? Yes. DeMerit to Fulham…? No.
