Drogba got 33 last season alone, and has actually banged in 62 in last 3 seasons. If your saying Yak is even half as good as those 2 then I think we should agree to disagree!

Ruud Van and Drogba have scored more goals than Yak and along with Rooney are light years ahead of him in class and attitude so that only leaves Sheva and I think eveyone realises he has been a massive flop

I would like to see us get Yak because we are desperate for a forward because Big Vic isnt ready yet, but I thought he was overpriced at £10M so £12.5M is absolutely ludicrous. Granted he is good when he wants to be but he is also useless when he wants to be and that added to the fact we will lose him for 6 weeks during the busiest part of the season makes me think its a waste of money

WHo is he and who does he play for?

Just been on SSN that the Yakubu deal is off

Fantastic decision , should have sent the Liverpool player off as well!!!!! Typical of the red sh**e all the media attention this decision gets but not a mention of the decision at Villa the week before that got them three points

Name one!

Well if the strickers cant score maybe the strikers can!!!!

Lee Carsley had a medical at Wigan in summer!!!

Yak only seems to play when he is in the mood and for £11M I want a forward who turns it on in every game. Having said that we are desperate because I dont think Big Vic is ready to play week in week out and we wouldnt be the first club to spend overthe odds this summer

I take it you have never seen Huntelaar play then because the boy is class, well better than Yak IMO. Your nan sounds like she might be worth signing though!

Doubt we will see Vaughny until January

It is breaking news Gareth Southgate was on saying that Borro have accepted an £11.2M bid from Everton andhe is expecting to sign in next 48 hrs. Oh plus went down to Goodison to pick up tickets for reading game today and Yakubu was spotted there!!!

According to tonights Echo we have agreed terms with Benfica & the third party company and hes having a medical and " deal should be done in time for him to be in the squad for the Reading game" Looks like Manny could be the proud new owner of that number 10 jersey!

Nothing to do with Joleons tatto , this is a Spurs fans view from theTues night, made me smile anyway! http://www.spurs.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=78678

Dont want to count my chickens and all that but just read this in this mornings Daily Post Imminent arrival Manuel Fernandes is unlikely to be in the squad to face Reading as he hasn’t trained this week since leaving Benfica’s squad in the build-up to their Champions League tie – but Everton will look to push his transfer through before the weekend.

Yet another story, this one from tomorrows daily mail Manuel Fernandes flew into Merseyside on Monday night to complete an &8million move to Everton after being pulled out of Benfica's Champions League qualifier with FC Copenhagen. The midfielder, who had a loan spell at Goodison last season, is due to discuss personal terms today over a move that will cost Everton an initial &6m, with addons. Everton are also refusing to give up their pursuit of Middlesbrough's Nigeria striker Yakubu. Starting to look good!! Still dont rate Yak at anywhere near £10-£12M and we will still be short in numbers upfront over the Xmas & New Year because of African Nations Cup Still who cares he will defo improve the squad!!

All sounds great but how do we pay for it?

Im not saying that you have got your figures wrong but where did you come up with them from? The club claim it will cost us approx £15M while you say its £100M , just a bit of a difference me thinks! Why would we get more money for naming rights for a ground in Speke or Aintree or Scottie Rd? If we were to go ahead with the loop site where are you going to manage to fit a hotel? we can only just about squeeze a ground in there. As for vote No lets hang around and wait for a multi millionaire to save us , no thanks ! Thats why I voted yes!

Not really that strange if you take into cosideration that he likes to play 4-5-1

I heard an interview on radio city where he says 'our situation has changed' and all he was reffering to was the need to buy a striker. He said at start of window he wasnt looking for one but since the injuries to Vaughn, faddy and Tim plus sale of BT 'our situation has now changed' and so yes we are looking at bringing in a striker

I disagree with you about the urgency to sign another striker, what happens if AJ gets injured tomorrow? Also we are going to lose big Vic when the Nigeria games come around that leavws Faddy & Luke , now that sounds desperate enough for me!

I would rather have Mikel Madar back than Miller! And hes exceptionally overpriced at £2.5M! ( by about £2.5M actually!)

I would be over the moon to see Manny back but not so sure I like the sound of Yakubu for £10M especially as it means we will lose both him and Big Vic at the same time for the Africa Cup of Nations Wonder if this suuden wad of cash they seem to have found has got anything to do with Earls appointment to the board?

I found it quite an easy decision I just asked myself the following questions: 1. Do we need to move? Ans Definatley yes 2. Can we afford to pay for a new ground by ourselves? Ans Definately No Its all good and well being sentimental and saying we need to stay within the city boundary but where is the money coming from? We cant afford to sit around waiting for a multi billionare sugar daddy to suddenly appear from nowhere. and after all its only 4 miles from Goodison anyway and you try telling Alan Stubbs hes not from Liverpool!
