Louis Saha

[ToxtethBlue]

Jo is skinny though, he hasn't got the same physique as Yak or Saha.

You can only work with what you've got.

You don't think he looks for the foul a little ?

 

[Goat]

I do, but that will be beaten out of him, Moyes wont stand for that bollox.

Sometimes, alot of the time he just gets outmuscled though.

Agreed, Arteta's only done it for the last three to four years.

I know you know thats not true. Its just clever play, I admit he did enjoy a good dive when he first came, but now he just shields the ball and wins fouls.

Dont start on Mikel mate to be honest.

I'm a massive fan of Mikel's technique, I'm not starting on him at all.

I love the way he knows he won't get past someone, evaluates the situation, turns his back, sticks his arse in the opposition players face and lets them push him over.

It's fantastic, world class technique. It's not out and out diving no but neither does Jo, he just falls over easily.

Hes only young, im sure he will bulk up at some point, young players arent really known for their strength, thats something that comes with age, hes still learning the game and the Everton way, ive got high hopes for the lad this season.

As stated by Browns, the attack looks good and as stated by me the creativity could be lacking.

We got some big guns, sadly we only have little bullets.

Unless we give Aggard , Baxter and co a chance , I don't see too much attack outside of the senior players to be honest .
Anichebe was unlucky last season to get injured when the door was just starting to open , and although I had high hopes for Vaughan , I'm not sure he's going to make it , and might be best put out on loan , or experimented with in another position .

 

[Goat]

Maybe, but that still leaves us with Yakubu, Jo and Saha, with the younger lerds as back up. More than enough considering we prefer 4-5-1.

 

[bluebastardo]

How do you feel about Vaughan ?

 

[Goat]

He looks like he should, hes 3 years behind where he should be. Hes going to be a late bloomer and thats if he can stay injury free, I cant see him getting enough games to advance like he should.

I would ideally like to see him and Anchiebe go somewhere on loan and play every week, thats the best thing for both of them really. I can see both struggling for games when everybody is fit, but thats probably not going to happen.

I know Vaughan has been unlucky with injuries, but I dont think Moyes rates either of them too highly, he tends not to play them as much as you would think.

Next season is a big season for them both I think, they both have the raw talent to be very good players, its all about application and learning.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Vaughan will be a very good option from the bench - he's the only striker we have with genuine pace. He's always playing off the shoulder and looking to run in behind whereas Jo, Saha and Yak come towards the ball and look to link things up or hold up play.

He's certainly shown promise in the past but he's missed alot of football. People could say he hasn't developed over the past few years but he hasn't been given the chance to, injuries have put a stop to that.

We'll be able to see what level he is at if he stays fit, hopefully he will. At the moment he's just trying to get to a good fitness level which will give him the best possible chance.

 

[BiggyRat]

I just wish we had a team that allowed our physios to be bored for a change...

 

[Scottoffee]

Saha needs to stay fit at least until Yakubu's back up and 100% match ready.

Jo will chip in with quite a few goals and Vaughan will hopefully chip in with a few, but the onus has to be on our 2 experienced strikers to bring their best to the table and grab the majority of our goals - Cahill, Arteta, Fellaini hopefully adding their fair share as well.

In a World Cup year, if Louis can stay 100% injury-free, he's such a natural finisher, I can honestly see him fighting to get a recall!...
