Callabinho Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Did hear the comments so couldn't guess, just saw the board outside the newsagents. Yes, Walsh said he sent him a text and Heskey replied with 'I'm not ready yet'

Babylon Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 LCFC 91 on twitter According to the Mercury, the Yak now doesn't want to play in the Championship! More like he doesn't want championship money.
Simmo86 Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 More like he doesn't want championship money. Probably, either way I'm sure we'll know by the end of the week
Babylon Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Interest from an unknown prem club. Why would he want to play for an unknown team, I'd prefer one that I knew.
sphericalfox Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Wigan I assume that's speculation. Or does it specify in the Merc? There's plenty of teams who might consider Yakubu.
Simmo86 Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Wigan **** sake! Really, its a sad state of affairs when people want to play there football at Wigan! Prem or not the place is a graveyard for the game! He'll be in the Championship this time next year anyway! Play the long game Yak
Happy Fox Posted 14 June 2011 Author Posted 14 June 2011 http://www.thebluearmy.co.uk/news/Yakubu-s-proposed-City-hits-stumbling-block/article-3646552-detail/article.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Yakubu's proposed move to Leicester City could be scuppered by the Nigerian striker's reluctance to drop down to the Championship permanently. City have agreed a fee believed to be around £3 million with Everton for the 28-year-old striker, who scored 11 times in 20 appearances for City during his loan spell last season. The Toffees are keen for the deal to go through quickly so manager David Moyes can move for Wigan Athletic's Charles N'Zogbia. However, sources on Merseyside say that Yakubu, inset, is not convinced about dropping down a division and his representatives are looking for alternative destinations. It has also been suggested that personal terms were an issue. Yakubu said during his loan spell that he would welcome a permanent switch to the Walkers Stadium and a clause for City to buy him in his loan deal would have been automatically triggered if they had gained promotion. However, Yakubu may have cooled on the idea after City failed to reach the play-offs and Fenerbahce in Turkey remains a strong possibility. City have already begun to look for alternative striking targets, with former England striker David Nugent generating interest. Meanwhile, Egypt international goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary has reportedly said that he has received an official offer to join City next season. The 38-year-old, who would be available for around £250,000 from Sudanese side Al-Merreikh, said he had received interest from plenty of English clubs. "I have several offers but Leicester City's is the most serious one," he is reported to have said. "I am in contact with Leicester City's club director and the negotiations are on the right track. I think I will have a good opportunity to play there." El-Hadary penned a three-year contract with Al-Merreikh in January, but said he was not sure of staying. "After the end of the season, I will evaluate my experience with the Sudanese club and decide whether to stay or not," he added. Meanwhile, City have also been linked with former Dundee United winger Craig Conway. The 26-year-old Scotland international is a free agent this summer and City are said to be among several Championship clubs considering making a move for him.

Tommy G Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Shit. Typical lcfc, fanny about over getting a player and they move to another target. This will test the thais to put the money where their mouth is. We MUST buy Yakubu otherwise I fear we won't get anyone near as good for the £2m that is being banded about
Ric Flair Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 That article doesn't strike as much fear in to me as I thought it would. Yakubu's representatives are playing hard ball, as to be expected. I still think we'll get him. But I hope Svennis has other attacking targets in mind just incase. We need Nugent and at least one other.

Babylon Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Shit. Typical lcfc, fanny about over getting a player and they move to another target. How do you know it's our end delaying things, there are four parties involved who could all delay it.... more if other clubs are interested also.

We've agreed a £3 million fee with Everton for him. Yakubu and his representatives are the fannies.
Charl91 Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 **** sake! Really, its a sad state of affairs when people want to play there football at Wigan! Prem or not the place is a graveyard for the game! He'll be in the Championship this time next year anyway! Play the long game Yak He's probably 40 already, he doesn't have time to play the long game!
escos Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 Of course, this could be his agent trying to force his wages up!
Tommy G Posted 14 June 2011 Posted 14 June 2011 N terms of fannying about we should of tabled a bid weeks ago - I mean how long has this thread been running? That way it would of avoided his agent stirring and inevitably highlighting other clubs to go to. Historically as a club we seem to sit there and wait on the sidelines with a cuppa and some biscuits and watch what everyone else does. We could and should have bought chopra for example. Just my 2 cents anyway, if other people agree with lcfcs transfer attitude then that's cool with me, I'm not here to throw the "kitch"en sink at people
