evs_the_fox Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 Because you have written Bruma off after two games (one out of position). So it stands to reason you would have thought exactly the same about Mee after his first game. But, I'm sure you saw something in Mee's first game that means you didn't. (yeah right) I'm perfectly relaxed thanks. Where have I written Bruma off?? I'll repeat myself shall I… Besides, the 'meh' was more a case of being indifferent on them at this moment rather than having made my mind up. Still if you want to translate that in to something else then be my guest.
SMX11 Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 Yes- Mee, Naughton and the Yak No- Bruma and Van Aanholt

If you don't want people to translate things incorrectly perhaps write your posts in English and explain yourself in your first post, rather than using a made up word from the simpsons to express what you mean. Other wise people might think you are back tracking to cover a stupid comment. Doh!

Other wise people might think you are back tracking to cover a stupid comment. Doh! Wow. Pedantic much? Another Americanism as well. I'd better be mindful of confusing people. You assumed that I've written Bruma off based on the assumption that I wrote Mee off after his first game. You're now assuming that I'm backtracking on my original (stupid ) comment. See a pattern developing? I have no reason to backtrack. If your assumption was correct then I'd happily explain my (stupid ) comment in more detail and offer why I think PVA and Bruma are no good after only a handful of games. Since these assumptions are not actually my thoughts then I won't be engaging in that conversation. I'll let you attempt to chastise others of that opinion instead (there appears to be enough of them so fill yer'boots). If you're not clear on somebody's post try giving them the benefit of the doubt rather than assuming they're stupid. Ask them to explain themselves further or, if you're not that bothered, just don't post at all. The one-upmanship on here is pretty sad – maybe it makes you feel good about yourself but who am I to make such a quick assumption?
Heskey2011 Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 Maybe we should get Hume back, he used to run around alot but didnt score that many. Yakubu is shite! Get rid, 4 in 8 isn't good enough. Running around like a headless chicken is what counts 4 in 8 isn't good enough? You lot are mad; that's a goal every other game or 50%, by my workings out we've played 34 games so far this season. If Yakubu had played 34 we'd be looking at 17 goals from him (at this 4/8 ratio, which would make him...... Npower Championship Top Scorers below Graham Watford 17 Sinclair Swansea 16 Becchio Leeds 15 Bothroyd Cardiff 15 Long Reading 15 Taarabt QPR 15 Sharp Doncaster 14 Holt Norwich 13 King Leicester 13 Gradel Leeds 12 Iwelumo Burnley 11 McGugan Nott'm Forest 11 Morison Millwall 11 Somma Leeds 11 Helguson QPR 10 ....Yeah, top, 4 from 8 is a cracking score rate and we're lucky to have him, you forgotten the Derby goal already? Thing with Yakubu is, you need to feed him.

acooling08 Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 ARG Scoring record isn't everything for a striker. Yak is one of the worst forwards I've seen at holding the ball up and distributing it. Because of this, pressure is constantly invited back on us because he usually fails to win or retain possession. Keep: Naughton, Mee (Maybe Bruma but not seen that much of him) Not Keep: PVA, Yak (Unless he takes a pay cut. £40'000 is stupid)

Webbo Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 I wouldn't be too fussed about not signing the Yak. I can't see him scoring many in the prem, if we get there.
ashfosse Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 naughton is the priority closely followed by the YAK. you have to remember that yakubu is still an everton player. if we manage to sign him up then you'll quickly see his commitment and work rate improve. but one thing is certain WE NEED NAUGHTON. he's been awesome! would love to see a confident jack hobbs play alongside bamba. if we sign naughton, yak and an extra bit more quality. next year could be very exciting. UTF
vandamman Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 If we get promoted I can imagine us signing Naughton. As he has Kyle Walker ahead of him I reckon and so I think spurs will let him go for around 4mill. Again if we get promoted, we will sign yakubu probs for around 4mill, 6mill is not realistic. Also, I reckon Man City wont want to hold onto Ben Mee, he's not foreign and he's never going to make the squad at Man City even though he could be as good as Boyata. PVA/BRUMA....no chance, chelsea squad will be so old at the end of the season.

CKB Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 I'd take them all if possible.. They are all talented whatever anyone wants to say, they are a different level with anything we have brought in before and for people to question them just shows they would rather go back to the Josh Lows, etc or simply just ain't happy either way

I couldn't care less if they don't track back, so long as they stick the ball in the net fairly frequently. edit: typo
Rocky Dennis Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 As an admittedly cynical man, what this article translates to me as is: "Right, I know plenty of you are hedging your bets as to whether you will purchase an ST for next season based on whether we go up or not, you may be worried that this season's squad will be decimated leaving us back at square one with another rebuild required. Dont worry, we hope to keep these players next season and win the League, therefore please buy a season ticket regardless" Just me
Webbo Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 The times when, during the Bristol and the Cov game, where Vassell or one of the fullbacks broke forward and got to the 18 yard box only for Yakubu to still be in the centre circle jogging to join play was unreal. Chances went begging because there was no one in the box to receive the ball . If Yakubu doesn't score he adds nothing to the team. I don't know whether he's lazy or his legs have gone but I don't believe he's the future.
abefan22 Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 I would love them all too stay but that might happen Naughton: yes Yakubu: yes Mee: yes Van aanholt: Who knows
Dilkes Posted 2 March 2011 Posted 2 March 2011 Naughton and Mee please! Yakubu, maybe Van Aanholt, make decision at end of season.
lee(lcfc) Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 if the yak wants to stay then it shouldn't make a difference what league we are in. its more like he wants to play in the prem instead off sitting on the bench. i would like naughton and the yak if he dont play the yak on his own up front because you cant boot the ball up and expected him to chase it he slow
Darkon84 Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 Naughton all day long for me. he's going to be a real class act in the future. Mee has shown potential Cunningham before he got injured..looked good going forward and more solid going back than PVA. PVA, not too fussed about him, and dont think theres much chance of a deal as he only just signed a new 5 year deal at Chelsea before he joined us, so IF we wanted to sign him, his price could be over-inflated, Bruma..not really too fussed about him either so far The Yak.....jury is still out on him for me..No doubt he can score goals, but his fitness and commitment would always worry me.
lcfc_jme Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 To be honest, I'd take the lot of them, whether we go up or not. Apparently Sven's preferred formation is 4-4-2 anyway so keeping the Yak and giving him an actual strike partner - Wag or Darius - would be more beneficial and see us score more goals provided we purchased the kind of wingers Svennis wants, as there should always be somebody in and around the box. The defence, for saying it has been thrown together, seem to have developed an understanding pretty quickly and that's something I wouldn't want to see disrupted. Pacey, attacking full-backs are extremely sought after in today's game, and in PvA and especially Naughton, we currently have two who will only get better. If I had to choose two of them to keep and the rest to send back, it'd probably be Naughton and Mee as the defence is more important than the attack.
Babylon Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 assumption You go on about assumptions, and then assume I was calling you stupid. Read my post very carefully and see that I even highlighted the word might... obviously it was a little too subtle for you.
vandamman Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 IF we get Jack Hobbs back to form and we sign Mee, surely they're more or less the same player, except Mee is more mobile thats all.
cc_star Posted 3 March 2011 Posted 3 March 2011 IF we get Jack Hobbs back to form and we sign Mee, surely they're more or less the same player, except Mee is more mobile thats all. God forbid a strong bench
