Yobo

TX Bill · February 11, 2014

One of my favorite players when he was here.

I remember Moyes being asked why he had signed another right back shortly after signing Yobo. Moyes reply was who said anything about him playing at right back?. Really impressive player at first and as pointed out should really have left the club earlier....

Wasn't it Thierry Henry who always says Yobo was the best defender he came up against?

2 great things about Yobo

1) He could recover his mess ups as good as anyone I've ever seen.
2) When he kicked Gerard in the nuts

Very good player.

Always prone for a howler though*

*See pass to Rooney

Wish he didn't have to tie his laces like but good service to the club. I'll remember him fondly. Well apart from ducking out a European game we got blammered in.

DAMN YOU JOSEPH.

boss middle name too.

Was that the Sporting match?

Most capped Nigerian player ever, apparently. I really liked him. He was good but dropped just enough clangers not to get headhunted by the Sky4.

He had a head like a ten bob bit, the ball used to fly off it at angles that defied physics.

One day he'd look like a World beater the next like Titus Bramble.

I used to freeze with fear every time he got the ball on the edge of our box.

Not when you're getting a paid a hefty sum by your employer

Does that mean that there should be no such thing as Internationals?

...always thought he was the type of Centre Back that could do a decent job well into his 30s, not at all surprised to see somebody taking a punt on him.

Was quite surprised none of the newly promoted teams went in for him when he was off to Febernache. He already showed he could play in the premier league yet nobody decided to splash minimal cash for him? Never got that..

Used to like him when he played for us

Clearly wanted out though and we probably should have just sold him than keeping him on the wage bill as long as we did

No, it means when you refuse to play for your club, who pay a massive wage, because you tell them you're injured, only to then turn out for your Country 3 days later, then you're open to critisim from the same fans who contribute to that massive salary
