Stevie Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Vaz Te isn't that prolific for a striker and we already have two better ones of the same type.. although he can play on the wings too, right? He's only a kid. Sam uses him sparingly and he never looks out of his depth. I seem to remember he scored a beauty for Bolton on his European debut.

Lagerstedt Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Not worth starting a new thread, but did anyone see this? http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?HLID=466663&CPID=8&title=Yak+eyes+Boro+exit&lid=&channel=Premiership&f=rss&clid=25 Would be a great partner for Owen or Martins IMO. Cracking player, would love to see him here, especially if Owen or/and Martins leaves. Should have bought him two years ago though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yakubu & Viduka have both been excellent this season. If we'd had them as a partnership rather than Boro, they'd have went down and we'd have comfortably finished top 6 imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Find that bizarre tbh. We'd have around £18m extra to strengthen the squad, plus we wouldn't have the hassle of waiting to see if Martins & Owen can play together. We'd have a ready made, proven Premiership partnership. Pretty sure both of them finished in the top 10 league goalscorers this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'd just put that down as a bad patch mind. He's been pretty prolific ever since he came to England, even with Portsmouth. One of the most under-rated players in the league imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Are Boro fans clamouring for them to sell him because he's had a bad patch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Probably not, although if in his first season he'd only scored 1 goal in his first 12 games or so offering very little to the team, then a similar run at the business end of the season where he looked poor, sandwiching a run of 20 or so games where he scored the bulk of his goals even though he wasn't particularly playing well, then probably aye.

johnnypd Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'd hardly call our last few games the 'business end'. the last game in which we had a lot to play for was the 6 pointer against Sheff Utd, in which Martins was phenomenal. we petered out after that, as a team under a manager who had lost all credibility. dcmk - Andrea Pirlo, i was thinking sam loves his deep lying playmakers who hit it long, pirlo might be a bit optimistic tho. couldn't think of anyone in a similar mould, getting on a bit a la campo or speed.

And if Martins had played even half decent in the last 8 games or so we might have nicked a top 10 spot, meaning Intertoto Cup football again.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Not blaming it on him. I just don't see the fuss that's all. Like people saying they won't renew their season tickets if we sell him to Valencia for £15m. Jesus Christ man. My original point anyway was simply I'd sooner have a Yakubu/Viduka partnership with an extra £15m or so in the bank than Owen & Martins. I wouldn't be disappointed if we kept Owen & Martins of course though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
