i think for the goals he scores (and he does score goals, more than most in the prem) the price of 12.5m is not over priced. i believe drogba is was the best forward in europe last year and i believe RVN to be the best in the box player ive seen in my 23 years. but Yakubu would bring goals to the team, he maybe lazy, but so was RVN. i dont want to talk about what class players are in, you should also take into account the players supporting the forward, beckham, giggs, scholes, lampard, robben, joe cole, who has been supplying Yakubu at pompy and boro?
