It looks like the rumors are true McBride to Fulham.

McBride to soften Saha blow

Fulham look set to soften the blow of losing their top scorer Louis Saha to Manchester United by sealing the signing of USA international Brian McBride.
Skysports.com understand that the West Londoners' late bid to snatch the Colombus Crew striker from under the noses of Premiership rivals Blackburn Rovers, as reported on Friday, will be successful.

Graeme Souness had been confident of landing McBride, who has already proved his ability to score goals in the English top flight with Everton, but will be forced to look elsewhere after Chris Coleman bettered the terms on offer at Ewood Park.

It is believed a deal will be struck with MLS to take the imposing centre forward to Loftus Road, where he is due to link up with fellow US international Carlos Bocanegra.

The sale of Saha will come as a disappointment, however, to Fulham fans, as their manager had been adamant there was no way the French forward would leave this month.

The transfer has been agreed in principle with United, who are desperate for attacking ideas after firing blanks against Newcastle United and Wolves, hardly two of the tightest defences in The Premiership.

"I am so happy," Saha told The Daily Mirror. "This is my dream come true.

"I thought this move would never happen but I am so pleased it has.

"Fulham was a fantastic place for me but I cannot wait for the challenge of proving myself at the biggest club in the world.

"I will be the happiest man in England by the end of tomorrow," stated Saha.
