I like Yakubu, because he scores goals, and he can finish. Gutted he's injured, but there are silver linings. We are going to have to introduce the young talent, and why not? We brought Anichebe and Vaughan through out of necessity and they do well enough to merit their place. By all accounts, Baxter and Agard are better - so for me its not a bad thing. Although I would expect us to bolster our striking options in the Jan window.
Also, I'll be happy if we finish where we are now and still progress with the players we have and the money we have. Its maybe time to admit that we are not equipped to compete with big money men, but then that's not a bad thing. We have slowly introduced some good young talent, got many of those lot on long term deals. Cal will have you think its the end of the world most of the time, but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen till Dec 12th 2012. So enjoy the next 4 years.
