Fulham boss Martin Jol says his management of Bobby Zamora will bring out the best in the striker.

The focus on his relationship with Zamora is something that irks Jol, who referred repeatedly to the 'profile' the England striker enjoys at Fulham.

Asked whether he liked the 30-year-old, the Dutchman answered with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

"I love him," he replied, with a wink.

But Jol insisted Zamora will still be a Fulham player after the January transfer window closes.

"I hope I can get the best out of Bobby. There are players who want to play in every game, but I make the decisions. I feel we are on a good track and over the last two months he has been fitter than ever."
