Who is upfront

No sense rushing Yak in. May as well keep his time limited while we have the luxury of striker depth.

Moyesy drops a massive hint:

DAVID MOYES has admitted it could be up to six months before Yakubu fully regains fitness from his serious Achilles injury.

The Nigerian returned to goalscoring form on Wednesday with the opener in Everton’s 4-0 Carling Cup victory at Hull City.

It was the striker’s first start since rupturing his Achilles at Tottenham Hotspur last November having previously made three substitute appearances after making his comeback to the first-team fold last month.

Yakubu was substituted at half-time in midweek after complaining of a slight thigh strain that could keep him out of today’s Premier League visit to former club Portsmouth.

And Moyes believes it will take time for the Nigeria international to get back to peak condition after such a major injury.

“Yak is fit, but not back to the level where he was before the injury,” said the Everton manager. “When you have had a ruptured Achilles, a serious injury, the nine months out was the healing part of it.

“It might take five or six months for Yak to get back to his where he wants to be. If you’ve had a serious injury like he has, then it takes a lot longer to get over it.

“Is he back in and around the squad and bale to do bits of games? Yes, he is.

“If you can get the ball to Yak in the box we know his history of scoring goals. But maybe the team at the moment is not ready for that, we need a centre forward to contribute more in other ways.

“That’s why we need Yak to get more games and more playing time. But if there’s somebody you want the ball to fall to in the box, it’s Yak.”[/QUOTE]
Sums him up really. As long as it's not our box

Saha's doing great although I find myself wincing everytime he goes to ground. Hope those glass knees can hold up.
 
i'm completely up front, what you see is what you get, no bullsh1t self importance and all that with me, trying to justify my existence by exaggerating everything about my achievements at work etc etc etc.
 
We have a good enough squad to play a proper 4 4 2 formation now so for me its Saha and Yakubu upfront (y)

Midfield: The russian fella, Fellani, Cahill, Arteta (when fit)
