Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer insists new signing Pavel Pogrebnyak can replace Zamora

Fulham’s Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer claimed that newcomer Pavel Pogrebnyak will be able to fill the void left by former striker Bobby Zamora, who recently left for QPR.

«Pavel has had one game and the signs are positive. In training he has been very good but it will take someone special to replace Bobby in the long term. Pavel has all the attributes to do that,» the Australian insisted.

«We’re confident he can get better and better. He looks very good and has fitted in easily. His work-rate was excellent and, although you probably didn’t see his ability on the ball, his finish was top class.»
