Joe. Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 What about Carlos Vella and Miachi? Vela's already gone to Real Socieded on loan and Ryo will be part of Wenger's first-team squad this season.
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 Agree completely, although we have a few reasonably quick players the more immediate worry is a lack of quality. Yak brings quality at this level, 11 in 20 with a bunch of players he'd never played with previously shows that. For me, its a no brainer and we should bite the bullet financially and get him in

bluearmyfox23 Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 We're gonna win the fucking league THIS!!!!

Yakubu was a flat-track bully, who shone against weak or unmotivated opponents (hence his goals), but too often went missing against stronger and/or more motivated ones. I'm not convinced he's the team player we need.

I'd take a player who will score at a rate of 1 every 2 games even if he bludgeons the crap teams because at least we'll win our fair share of matches. Alongside Nugent, a worker and a runner I could see it being effective.

thybluefox Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 442 with Yak and Nuge up front - I'd be well happy with that.
philce Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Yes but when he's standing on the edge of the area with that dis-interested look on his face and hands on his hips you will all be on he calling him a "lazy C**T"!

Yakubu is lazy, yes, but thats just his game and we have to accept that. I had no problems with his work rate last season because he scored goals. Nugent does enough running for himself and Yakubu.
psychonaut Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 442 with Yak and Nuge up front - I'd be well happy with that. I wouldnt. Unless we brought in 2 wingers to replace Dyer and Gallagher. Either that or play the diamond formation but then we lack witdth without 2 attacking fullbacks. Thats the problem when you have 7 central midfielders and hardly any wide players. Sven has gone for depth before improving the starting 11 when surely it should be the other way around!
stourbridgefox Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 I think people overlook the importance of the Yak's ass. Defenders are instantly at a disadvantage because they have to run a couple of yards round it before they can even see the ball. Watch how he uses it as a defensive buffer and an offensive battering ram in games. One ref even gave a free-kick against the Yak and pointed at his ass as a reason. Last year the Yak's massive, great behind was an ass-et to us.
lestajigs Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Is this actually gonna happen, or what??? To pages full off shite

I see your point, I imagined using the diamond but it is too narrow. 433 with Yak central and Nugent and Vaz either side would work as well though.
SMX11 Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 I see your point, I imagined using the diamond but it is too narrow. 433 with Yak central and Nugent and Vaz either side would work as well though. Play the system and see if it is 'too narrow' . You may find out that actually putting players in their preferred positions may improve our performances.
RumbleFox Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Part of me does not want to comment on this being as we are just all writing drivel and taking up almost 100 pages but I really cannot believe anyone would not want him. Of all the strikers we have been linked with over the summer Yakubu would be my first choice. He is a phenomenal finisher. He appears lazy at times but that is because he has the quality to not need to run round like a twot all time. Are you serious suggesting that Waghorn would run around like he did if he didn't need to? Don't get me wrong I love a bit of passion too. The days of seeing Walshie, Elliott and Taggart literally destroying people still gives me shivers but not every player is like that. The stats speak for themselves, in terms of goals to games ratio the Yak is not far from the likes of Henry in the top flight. He is the definition of "a proven goalscorer" and I cannot think of a safer bet for a 20 goal a season man. Don't know if it will happen but just annoys me to see people slag him off. Anyway, sorry for my rambling self-righteousness. Rumble. X

Raw Dykes Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Play the system and see if it is 'too narrow' . You may find out that actually putting players in their preferred positions may improve our performances. Yes! We've got so many central midfielders, and so few good proper wingers, a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 would suit our squad perfectly. There are slight variations on this that I think would also work, like 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-1-2. We'd be making use of the huge number of CMs we have, and we'd have two up front! Nugent wouldn't be so isolated, and he wouldn't have to work so damn hard. He's going to need a rest soon at this rate. It's certainly worth a try, at least until we sign one or two good wingers. It worked pretty well for Norwich last season, and like you say, we wouldn't have to shoehorn players into unfamiliar positions.
Raw Dykes Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Possibly the gayest post ever on FoxesTalk... It's Liberace gay, and they misspelt the word arse every single time it appeared.

leicesterthroughandthrough Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Is this still just a rumour, or, you know, are we gonna make a move for anyone. Seems like we're linked with all the strikers in the Premiership, and not doing much about it.
