I thought Drogba was s*** in his first season.. called him a waste of money.. then he was decent/good in his second season and then absolutely phenomenal the next... smh

 

Not dissimilar to Adebayor who was also crap in his first season.  So was Henry tbh.

Henry wasn't crap in his first season, total myth. He still scored about 17 league goals iirc.

Leroy Lita is the new Shola.

 

Well, maybe he's a bit more mobile.

 

Be careful what you say pal. You don't want to end up like this fella ...

 

Arsenal fans think he's s***

 

Not worst then Adebayor tbh.

 

Disagree.

 

Julio has done bugger all.

 

Adebayor = the next Ameobi

 

Both (Baptista and Adebayor) were s*** last season, both didnt really do enough to deserve a place in the starting eleven in the Arsenal squad, i am pretty much sure that Wenger will play with Henry-Van Persie up front next season and keep Adebayor on the bench as a back up, maybe even get a better striker.

 

We are going to destroy them because of our no. 23:

 

Ameobi can be as good as Adebayor

 

 

NEWCASTLE striker Shola Ameobi has been told to follow in the footsteps of Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor.

The 26-year-old Magpies frontman has seen his efforts to plug the gap left by Alan Shearer on his retirement hampered by injury, and found himself largely a forgotten man under former boss Sam Allardyce.

 

But new boss Kevin Keegan was swift to restore him to the starting line-up following his latest return to fitness, and is confident he can make a major impact.

 

Ameobi was not involved in Saturday's 3-0 fourth-round defeat at Arsenal, but could play a part when the sides meet again in the Premier league tonight.

 

Adebayor scored twice at the weekend, and Keegan has ordered his own African-born front man to study the Togo international's game.

 

He said: "If you look at Adebayor, what I would say to Shola Ameobi is what I saw of Adebayor a year and a half ago when he first came on to the scene is what I saw of Ameobi when he first came on to the scene.

 

"That guy has kicked on and Shola has had injuries and other little problems, I guess, but he is 26 now and I don't think it is too late.

 

"Everywhere you go when you see a performance like that, you can say to a player, 'He is a similar size to you. Has he got more ability than you?'.

 

"Well, it would look so at the moment, but truthfully, I think Shola has got a lot of stuff pac

kaged there that hasn't quite come out properly yet.

 

"People might say Alan was dominating when he was here - of course he was; so was (Thierry) Henry, but Adebayor has gone straight in and filled his boots.

 

"That's not easy, that's almost as difficult as filling Alan Shearer's here."

 

Newcastle head south with Keegan's last-ditch recruitment drive having so far failed to pay dividends - and the manager admitting he may have to negotiate the remainder of the season with what he already has.

 

He said: "We are set in the summer to add to the squad in a way I think will be really meaningful, as opposed to now where you are taking chances.

 

"If you get one who is an absolute top-notcher, who has played at the highest level, then you might do it.

 

"But at this moment in time, there have not been that many put forward to us who fit that criterion that you can realistically get."

 

Keegan seems to agree to some extent  :shifty:
