MPH Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 He would be stupid to ruin his reputation / decent goal scoring record.
lestajigs Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Start of the season yes,,, now no, he had his chance to come here and rejected, thinkin he could just cone back to the club when he's ready!!!! No thanks
One Arm Babba Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Yes. Big Steves replacement. I don't he would command a regular start though.
ozleicester Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Not going to comment on wages etc because the manager and owners know whats appropriate, As to if id take him back...YES! He's not going to play a huge part but, as a super sub and a guy to have around the club would be ideal great for younger blokes (anyone remember that fella Waghorn?.. he could learn a bit). A city legend, who, if he WANTS to play for us, would be an asset.
MikeyT Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Possibly 2 or 3 seasons ago i may have said a big fat yes, but not now I don't think.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 He would have to have more to offer than just playing, Like Chrissy now at charlton he was a great inclusion not just to the team but to the morale and the back room staff and now look at him! Still miss his penos he used to take before kick off at the away end of the ground. I remember when the swansea steward told him not too nearly knocked him out So maybe Heskey would approach this in the same way play for a year rolling contract but have him in mind to train up his coaching side, At the end of the day we will welcome him with open arms purely because of the past.
Fox92 Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 He gets a lot of stick, but he can hold the ball up really, really well. Obviously, he is getting on abit now but I think he could still be an important part of the team, especially the way we play.
Ashlar86 Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 As few people have said yes for a supersub and to be a part time coach he has international,championships league experience has alot to offer the younger guys
Guest Col city fan Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Not for me no... A season or so ago then I'd have loved Emile back.. At 34 he's pushing it for fitness and may well be an expensive player who don't actually play very much. Heskey as a coach? Nah don't think so IMO the club should be building for the future, not living in the past Hungry younger players is what we need I think.. A la Drinkwater.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 I would of said no no no but look at the pros Pros- BIG MAN! One of the best players at holding up the ball in existence Would fit in at championship level Club legend England Veteran With young England Hopefuls like Waghorn and other INTL strikers like Schlupp they would benefit from his insight. Possible move into coaching and team development CONS- BIG MAN! Possible fitness issues Work rate not enough? How much can he offer time wise? Career ending soon We have howard His ambition and reasons for the move
wellyfox Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Not going to comment on wages etc because the manager and owners know whats appropriate, As to if id take him back...YES!

A city legend, who, if he WANTS to play for us, would be an asset. He's never scored enough to be a super sub. And as for the rest of what you say. A football club and huge wages are not a place for sentiment. Anyway I would rather remember him for what he has done for us. And not someone who came back struggled to get in the squad and hardly ever fit.
Christoph Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 NO.NO.NO.NO.NO. He is past it and has been for a good few years.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Lets build for the future, leave the past in the past. Sorry Emile, its not happening.
MattyFromLE Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 For sentimental value I'd love to see him back...but I don't think he would do himself justice.
deepbluedevil Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 I think the people who say they want him back must be thinking of the player he was ten years ago. Heskey leading the line in a promotion push? Don't think so...
Jimmy Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 Heskey in and Howard out is an upgrade, but I'd prefer someone younger and with a better eye for goal
kam6 Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 NO THANK YOU! Like the guy, but lets not get old players back, move on and forward!
steveherbe Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 As already stated elsewhere, get Dave Kitson from the fire sale known as Portsmouth. Excellent target man, and gave SSL and Mills shed loads of problems at their place. Or was it SSL and Bamba? Either way, Kitson is a beast.
Bayfox Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 I'd have heskey over mattock i'd have heskey at left-back over mattock.
