Bramble To Partner "The Hulk"

... he would have any excuses, because the "new boy on the block" is about as strong as they come. And - if he can play football as good as he lifts weights - the could be the answer to Bramble's problems.

Bramble - who is talking to the club about extending his current deal which expires in June - hopes his partnership with Oguchi Onyewu works.

Roeder: "It's good to have Titus back, along with Damien Duff. I hope the break can help them.

"Titus had an enforced break with his injury - it was freak thing, really. His calf muscle started bleeding and became dangerous.

"It was a condition that the physio had not seen since he was at Fulham 23 years ago.

"It was another example of how freakish the injuries have been."

"It's great Titus is back and now I have to decide whether he is fit enough to start or stay on the bench."

The 6ft 4in striker, nick-named The Hulk, is expected to make his debut against Fulham on Saturday.
