PieFacE Posted May 31, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yakubu would be a horrific signing! Totally disinterested, it's would be like another Carew permanently on a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Isn't Yakubu incredibly lazy? who cares? he's a goalscorer A combined 9 goals in 35 games over the last 2 seasons says otherwise, and that he's injury prone Actually that may be 11 goals, but whatever, its not great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claret75 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 We need someone busier than Yakubu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yakubu would just be a worse version of Carew! Strange how Carew gets a huge amount of stick on here, when last season was his best goals return in his whole career. In fact in the last 3 seasons he's hit 13, 15 then 17.

Although I don't know whether the original comment was intended to be a compliment to the big man??? and as for the Yak - no thanks!!!! (he's reportedly 27 - which according to my Nigerian calculator makes him 38!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artetasgirl Posted May 31, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2010 A combined 9 goals in 35 games over the last 2 seasons says otherwise, and that he's injury prone Actually that may be 11 goals, but whatever, its not great Why if someone picks up a serious injury which puts them out a year does it earn them the title injury prone? A lot of them games he came on with like 15-20 minutes to go as a substitute. He's assisted on a few goals in this time too, 4 - I think. He's a better player than some of you are giving him credit for, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not criticising Carew by saying that, just saying that he's no improvement on Carew. And Yakubu is also injury prone and is probably older than Carew.

Rob182 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wigan apparently want £15m for N'Zogbia, so anybody who hoped we'd get him will probably be disappointed. I'm not too keen on Yakubu, he's not a great improvement, or anything different, to what we already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Graham Dorrans at WBA has impressed me.I don't think they would sell now because they are in the prem now though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefordvillan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 It all sems to have gone a bit quiet on Kris Boyd. Sorry if it's been discussed further back in the thread but has anyone heard anything as I cant be bothered to read through 100 pages Personally I'd be very happy to get him on a free!

BOF Posted May 31, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well today's pant-wettingly funny rumour comes from NOTW (via tribal). Seemingly we will offer Wolves Heskey in (part-)exchange for Doyle. Surely McCarthy isn't that stupid unless Heskey was sent there with £10m in his arse pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yakubu would just be a worse version of Carew! Strange how Carew gets a huge amount of stick on here, when last season was his best goals return in his whole career. In fact in the last 3 seasons he's hit 13, 15 then 17. 5 were penalties. 7 of them in cup competitions against Blackburn reserves (1 penalty), a poor rapid Vienna team which had we actually tried first leg, we'd of gone through, 3 against Reading (1 pen), 2 against Crystal Palace (both pens). He doesn't contribute anything else to the team, gives away constant free-kicks, loses the ball regularly, rarely runs anywhere. Not worth it for 10 premiership goals. Kevin Doyle could give you 10 league goals and helluva lot more in other departments. Carew has a bad effect on us defensively as a team too because he regularly loses possesion and ball keeps coming back at us rather than us keeping the ball in opposition half.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well it's true Rob. Suprisingly there is much more to being a striker than scoring goals (which 10 league goals is hardly "wow" is it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
