Fulham boss does not think there is any problem with striker
Fulham manager Martin Jol has once again dismissed suggestions of a bust-up with Bobby Zamora amid reported interested from Tottenham, Sunderland and QPR.

Motivation
"I don't think there is any problem. I think the grass is always greener [on the other side] but it is not only for him.
"There are always players in a squad of 24 or 25 players that look at other clubs, but this is a great club.
"There is not one player that has told me he does not want to play for this squad. I feel if you look at the media, they started this Bobby thing in August.
"There are a few youngsters that tell me they should be playing and are not playing all the time, but Bobby is totally different.
"I wanted a good atmosphere and a good team that pushes each other so I thought last weekend it was time for Andy Johnson to play because he has scored goals.
"He had good games and worked hard in training so that was the motivation."
