Dr Spectrum Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yakubu has proven he can score goals in the Premiership for the last 4 years and has worked brilliantly alongside Viduka at the Boro. I used to like him way back, he was an absolute beast when we played Pompey in the first league game at the CoMS, unplayable. Came back 18 months later at the end of the season Perrin was in charge, jeebus, it was like the rest of the team had repeatedly run over his cat. Could not be arsed one bit. Had a downer on him since. Can see he picks his games, he hardly ever scores past february. And if you're gonna sign Viduka, I think you do well to avoid having two game-picking mercenaries in your side, didn't exactly work out for Boro in the long run...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Got them to a UEFA Cup Final and between them were the two main reasons Boro stayed comfortable mid-table last season rather than relegation, so not too bad I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yakubu got 2 goals in the entire cup run. One of them was a penalty. And weren't they in relegation danger with a couple of games to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I don't know how many he scored, no. But I'd imagine he scored more that season than Martins did this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Not that many I'd imagine. One, a penalty, and only got two in the whole competition, the other being against Dnipro at home. One hell of a step to say he had anything to do with them getting there. Overrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well since we're not in Europe next season anyway, let's just take his 15-18 league goals he generally gets a season and concentrate on getting back there next season then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 2005-6 season - Yakubu 19 goals. 2006-7 season - Martins 17 goals. (sorry, meant whole season, figured out when I was losing out on the UEFA Cup argument that Martins would have scored more in that comp) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well, that's that, then. No hard feeling towards the lad, just a move that didn't work out for either party which is a shame as he seemed to take to the club at first and vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta_Toon Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 anyone who thinks getting rid of Parker is a good idea is an idiot, I don't care if you believe me or not basically our central midfield is now Emre and Butt, which is shite but of course, Fat Sam will probably unearth Diego Swarfega in the next few weeks, and we'll win the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What happened to the clean slate everyone had? If Parker wanted out, that's fine, but I've heard nowt to suggest otherwise. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 We are actually going to sell Parker! I just hope Big Sam gets someone who's better, i.e he is selling our best CM and keeping Nicky Butt and Emre! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly, anyone who's watched Newcastle in the past 2 years will tell you we've played our best football with Butt and Emre in midfield.
