Not much news to write about today, but there a few interesting developments.

Eddie Johnson to Greece

Eddie Johnson has been loaned out to Greek side Aris FC.  Johnson has struggled to get regular playing time with Fulham and is hoping that Aris will give him more opportunities. Johnson looked like he was finally getting his form after a few good reserve performances and consistently making the Fulham bench. Unfortunately he has not been able to see much first team action. Freddy Adu might follow Johnson to Aris FC.  Adu, recently booted from Belenenses, is desperate for playing time.

Aris FC is coached by Hector Cooper, former Inter and Valencia boss.  The club currently sits 6th in the Greek Super League and is looking at Eddie Johnson to make an immediate impact.  Their next match is against Atromitos this coming Tuesday.
