Take away the goals and Jo is awful. I must be in a minority when i say i hope we dont even get him on loan again.

Same could be said about our record signing.

The fact is, he scores goals. Take away Yak's goals, and he makes no contribution to the team at all.

I'd love him on loan again.
 
One of the worst myths ever to be honest, we played some of our best football with Yakubu, Pienaar and Lescott linking up down the left handside in 07/08. He's very capable at linking play and a good footballer.

So is Jo though, some of his link up play was fantastic. He's just inconsistent, needs to do it week in week out.

You cant deny he is a lazy player.

If you commit yourself to going on the left side (as a stiker), you've got to be just as committed to getting back in to the middle, which he wasn't.

Lazy (in terms of chasing lost causes) yes.

In terms of link up play, holding the ball up and getting involved he's usually been excellent for us. Some of our best football comes through Yakubu and Pienaar linking up.

I said it last year : In his spell with the club Jo was just as good as Yakubu was before he got injured. In terms of putting the ball in the net and overall team play.

I think he's got massive potential, he could be an excellent striker in this League. He just needs to adapt more and be a little more consistent.

He's certainly got the tools, he just needs to be at the right club, under the right manager. Hopefully that's Everton.

Agree on both Yakubu and Jo. Both will never be 'hardworking' strikers like Johnson or also Vaughan. Would be interesting to see a Yakubu-Jo partnership though.
 
Not having Yak does nothing but score goals, his vision tenchinuqe and quality of some of his build up play is superb.

Jo for me is a traditonal no 10, id see him playing in a Beardsley/Sheringham role, i liked how he played deeper, just outside the box some of his link up play with Pienaar, Arteta, Baines and Ossie rightin fornt of the centre halfs was great. Jo offers us somethig we dont have.
 

"Manchester City are weighing up a loan offer from Fulham for striker Jo. (Manchester Evening News)" - BBC website

How come we haven't made a loan offer yet ? I'll be less than pleased if he ends up being loaned out to another Premiership club.
 
Only worth a loan offer, we have strikers coming back. The fee and wages would be too rich for us and City can forget about Lescott.
 
If we get Jo, we're saying goodbye to Lescott.

I've seen gimpses of potential in Jo, but when he doesnt score he is awful. Another loan would be the best option.
Aye thats the only way we'd sign him permanently after all transfers between british clubs HAVE to be paid off within 12 months as per the premierships rules and city would want fairly big cash for him,that frankly we just dont have.
