Yakubu

[FCConnecticut]

I would agree with the Cahill assessment. He always seemed like he was in the that 'thread' they talk about going through a team and without out we seemed to stall in the final a lot. When Cahill arrived last season we went on a tear in the league and Cahill himself was netting goals almost every game. Not to mention is one of our non-midgets who is particularly dangerous on set pieces. I worry about his foot and think we need to find another Cahill type as a big priority.

He has been quite a buy for us, its great having a top proven goalscorer in the side, something we have lacked for years.
If he gets a long term injury next season we could be well up against it.

did you ever think he might be like mcfadden, beattie, and johnson, and have a good season until we buy a better striker to push him aside, and then he falters just like the rest of them?

 

[TX Bill]

That hasn't crossed my mind.

Not saying it can't happen but he was "on" last season.

Well if we buy a better striker who scores more goals then we sell him for profit ill me quite happy!

surley there is only so long we can continue to do that? If another striker came in and scored 23 yet Yakubu scored 17, Surley we would be getting to a point now where we cant keep expecting better.

True but we could always try

Reminds me of reading this :

Apart from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and A.C. Milan were also interested in signing the Brazilian youngster.[2] Breno refused to sign with Real Madrid after they wanted a bone analysis to prove his young age.
