[McBain]

No way you could call that a shot!! Richochet off the ankle!

Thats a Titus Shambles own goal in my opinion how he fluffed up that clearance I'll never know.

Least we didn't buy the narky and [Poor language removed] Mido!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

How much did Carlos Tevez cost?

 

[heatmeiser]

Twelvety.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Cool. I expect Man Utd will be cutting their losses on him as a dead weight in the next few weeks. Maybe we can get him on the cheap.

I thought he was signed on loan.

Sorry it was intended as a sarcastic remark on our seeming willingness to write off Yakubu so early.

ah, fair play then the sarcasm-o-meter on my pc is broke again

It wasn't of Blackadder proportions so I'll let you off

What I keep seeing is that Yakubu is fantastic with the ball at his feet and not such a great target man.

What I see in the highlights of the game is that when we do score from open play it comes from passing the ball on the floor, why oh why some members of our team feel the urge to hammer it 60 yards in the general direction of a blue shirt is lost on me.

Tevez, Berbatov and Torres came from different leagues and therefore could afforded time to settle in.

Yakubu has been here for beards. I hope he does come good, I just dont like lazy bastards in the blue shirt.

But we all knew he had a tendancy to be lazy.
If he's going to be lazy I just hope he becomes a goalscoring lazy git. Basically as long as he bangs em in all will be fine.
To be fair to him we probably havent been playing to his strengths. Time will tell I suppose.

Agreed (and welcome to the board Fazakerley...can I get a phonetic pronunciation on that ).

Yakubu is at the polar end of the spectrum of AJ in how they play the game but frankly, the end result is what matters and that's goals. Yakubu's record in the Premiership is there for all to see.

He could walk to the box for all I care if he keeps hitting 'em.
