CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 When i was at the Chelsea - Valencia game last weeki heard someone saying, we're thinking about putting a bid in for YakubuHe wouldn't be on the top of my list!!You guys heard anything?I'd prefer Berbatov who's proved himself!

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yakubu is someone who I never really thought about. I seen his stats from the past few seasons and its pretty good. But would he be ideal for us. Well he can score goals so it cant be a bad start and as for Berbatov, he 's shown he can be a stroppy bitch. Something we dont need.Thats my job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Haha!Yea Yak's stats are pretty good, but would he be going to the African Cup of Nations aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 He's Nigerian as far as I know, so I would think he would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 So that probably counts him out thenBut whoever we go for, needs to be able to play up there on his ownbecause for me, thats when we play our best football, when the wingers can bomb it forward and put balls in!!

CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 So your saying they shouldn't cut inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Not all the time.Joe Cole is a prime example. 9/10 he'll cut inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That's because Joe Cole is not really a winger, and we usually use him on the left and he's right footed. Wright-Phillips cuts inside because he knows his crossing is substandard. Can't comment on Malouda and Kalou is more of a forward than a winger.Edit: As for Yakubu, he's a good player, but I'm not convinced he's the kind of quality we need. I wouldn't be distraught if we signed him, but you kind of expect better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmarvel 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Good striker, i rate him a lot.. quite similar to Drogba.. he is certainly wasting his time at that club. but unfortunately for us he is African and that rules him out really Edited December 17, 2007 by captainmarvel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombayblue™ 55 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 he's good but like elliot i'm not sure he's our standard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 We seem to be linked with a lot of Average players at the moment who are massively overhyped, Yakubu, Anelka, Berbatov - we have done the whole thing of buying players who are going to be "squad" players. Right now we need to be looking at improving quality, so we either spend big and go for a proven World class player like Eto'o, Villa or the likes or go for a young and aspiring world class player like Huntelaar.

Wayne Cole 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 He's Nigerian as far as I know, so I would think he would be.Hello Bro..Yakubu will be what..I can't understand what you mean by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Good player.. well built for his position.. so that'd make him hard to deal with for defenders.. but we need someone.. world class and maybe outside of the premiership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 No not Shevchenko. hence the 'Outside of the Premiership' Shevchenko's in the Prem...Benzema.. Huntelaar.. Young World Class Players ;ike that preferaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmarvel 1 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 well then you run the risk of having the player flop in the Prem because he can't handle the pace...... or you might have to wait a long time for him to adapt til he finally starts scoring (Drogba) I'd rather see a proven Prem striker who we know what he's gonna give us game after game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
