But ... since then ... Bullard has been linked with several clubs, including our dear mates down there in ICI City - the Smoggies.
Fulham have inquired about signing Middlesbrough full-back Luke Young ... and wait for it ... with Jimmy Bullard moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal.
Fulham's first choice was Steve Finnan, but the Liverpool right back's salary demands are prohibitive.
Is Bullard available? If he is, someone had better tell KK.
Did I tell you he was a fan?
(Oh dear ... I can hear the mail arriving already .... sad little Cockneys)
