While waiting on a ruling over Rangers striker Daniel Cousin, Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is delighted with their work in the winter market.

He brought Leon Andreasen and Brede Hangeland to the club and the pair made their debuts this week against Bolton.

Erik Nevland could feature against Aston Villa on Sunday, but Paul Stalteri has a dead leg and Jari Litmanen is not match fit yet.

"We're happy with the business we've done," Hodgson said.

"Whether our player dealings are good dealings remains to be seen - the proof of the pudding is always in the eating and that is on the field for us.

"We wanted to change the profile of the squad to give myself and my staff more opportunities in terms of the teams we want to play."
