Aiyegbeni Yakubu

[CFC-Lloydy 38]

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!

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

[CFC-Lloydy 38]

Haha!Yea Yak's stats are pretty good, but would he be going to the African Cup of Nations aswell?

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

He's Nigerian as far as I know, so I would think he would be.

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!!

Our wingers bomb forward and cut inside....thats a problem I think we need to address first.

[CFC-Lloydy 38]

So your saying they shouldn't cut inside?

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Not all the time.Joe Cole is a prime example. 9/10 he'll cut inside.

[Elliott 7]

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.

cant see this happening

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
