Bobby Zamora

Improvin' Perfection!!
Robert Lester "Bobby" Zamora (born 16 January 1981) is an English footballer of Trinidadian descent who plays for Fulham and the England national football team. Zamora began his career at Football League club Bristol Rovers, but was soon signed by Brighton & Hove Albion, where he found first team success. Zamora scored 77 goals in three seasons and helped the club achieve two successive promotions.

Following an unsuccessful spell at Tottenham Hotspur, Zamora was signed by West Ham United, where he played for five years and won promotion to the Premier League. Zamora joined Fulham in 2008, where, in his first season, he played regularly but scored only four goals. However, Zamora's form in the 2009–10 season has gained praise and saw the player gain a call-up for England. Zamora has had an important role in Fulham's successes in the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Europa League. Zamora played for the England national under-21 team in his youth.

What a striker he's turning out to be... He's holding the ball up front like no other player in England lately. His chest passes, vision, distribution and lovely little flicks are too good and I'm afraid Fulham's other players are not on the level to probably use him to the maximum. An absolute revelation last season thanks to a certain Hodgson.

I hope he gets to sign for a bigger club who may be playing in Europe competition. I guess Tottenham would do better with Zamora partnering Defoe rather than Crouch or Pavlyuchenko. Of course he'd be very good for England as well partnering Rooney, at least better than Heskey I'd say :p


** It's a pity that he's reached his peak so late in his career, but one can only hope he could turn out to be some one like Droogba, get better as you get older!!

I think Zamora's great, and I'm really pleased for him that he got the England call-up.

But, he's good at Fulham because of the other players around him. Hodgson did a brilliant job taking a bunch of reasonable players and making the whole greater than the sum of the parts. I would bet on him doing the same at Liverpool. ;)

Visca el filòsof!
but you can clearly see he's totally ahead of every body else in that club

I'd dispute that actually, I think he excels in the system in place at Fulham and clearly carries out his role extremely well but I don't think he's any more talented than the rest of that squad and I don't think he's an exceptional individual.

^ Agree, Dempsey and Gera are fantastic players as well. Am really surprised Hangeland is still there as well, everytime I saw that guy he looks like the perfect defender.

Apparently Barca has pulled a shocking last minute transfer.

Signing of Bobby Zamora on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion will soon be announced.
