Robert Jarvis
Player Valuation: £35m
Two Tims in our team and both represent excellent value.
Tim Howard is looking very strong between the sticks, we have witnessed him pulling off excellent saves not just yesterday but in other games. Compared to tricky ****, a safe pair of hands and rarely makes a mistake like falling over a sign saying don't play here!! Looking at the rest of the prem, for me Tim-Ho is right up there with the best of them, can anyone truly say they would swap him for any of the others. I wonder if SAF is thinking the transer fee was too small or I should have kept him at OT, we will never know. But at the fee we paid, he is proving he is worth every penny. I can really see him staying here for many years to come and perhaps rivalling the number of games played by Big Nev and Ted Sagar. A helluva of a bargain.
Tim Cahill from downunder, has to be one of the top Aussie players. To think he was languishing away down at Millwall and no other manager had spotted him until Moyes came along. What a bargain, must be the steal of the decade in football terms. I should think there many a manager out there in the prem wishing they had snapped him up for 2 mill. Tim has proven time and again his outstanding ability as an attacking midfielder, Peacock on MOTD2 was comparing him to Lampard that is certainly an accolade but I think Tim is stronger than Lampard in at least one area. That is his ability to jump and head, something we never see Lampard doing. To cap it Tim has now completed a new contract indicating he wants to stay here with EFC for many years to come. That is the commitment and attitude we like to see in our players, please take note VDM and Granny's toy boy.
Anyone else want to comment please feel free to do so as I may have missed some points.
