Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:05 pm

nothing rumoured about us signing him but i just wanted to know if people would want him here or not?... if Malky was interested in him, would you want him here and do you think he could do a good job?

he's on a free (don't know about how high his wage demands would be) so i think it could be a good shout, good experienced target man and could probably score more goals than he did in the prem!

Yes, he's a damn hard worker, seems to set up goals but wage may be an issue.

What he was on at villa is irrelevant as he isn't going to get that again without going far afield to some random country.

If MM wants him I wouldn't be against him signing a bit old but had loads to offer.

He was on £60,000 p/w at Villa. A lot for a player who managed just one goal in 16 months.

Of course, he wouldn't be on that here. He's going to struggle getting £30,000 a week at his age and performance level.

A no from me.

i just read he was on £50k a week, if we could half that to £25k (very similar to miller) and get rid of earnie/keinan/gerrard then i think it would be a shout!... btw reason he left villa was cos they couldn't afford the £1 million bonus he got for each goal he scored, think that was a load of shit tho :lol:

No. While we are here lets bring Akinfenwa in.

you're just one of them kids who think he's shit cos he doesn't score enough goals!

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

I think we could get Ricardo Fuller on cheaper wages.

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:28 pm

'Kids' Im 16 and entitled to an opinion. Im sorry he dosent score enough goals? Thats his f**king job. Oh let me guess he holds the ball up well? Whats his assists then?

you're still classed as a kid at 16, just cos you pay adult prices on the train now doesn't make you much less of a kid :lol: anyway you can't just judge a player on how many goals he scores! if you want me to look for assists i will, but you got to look at how much distance he travels over the pitch, pass completition etc... i don't think he would have played for england if he didnt have the ability!

yes i know that, but you can't just judge someone on the amount of goals he scores!

Just becuse he isn't up to prem level of now doesn't mean he wouldn't destroy this league.
If he signed for another champ club I wouldn't look forward to us playing against him

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:34 pm

Your opinion.. but your saying I cant have an opinion because Im a 'Kid'. Nonsense.
Also he did have the ability 6 years ago. Hes like Yakubu similar kind of striker, but the Yak is 10 times better.
We can do way better.

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:44 pm

if you want some stats heres some... over his entire career he's:

made 702 appearances (62 international caps)
scored 152 goals (7 international goals)

haven't got a clue on assists cos i can't find anything on them, if someone can help then thanks :D

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:44 pm

Look his overall career ent going to back up what he can do NOW. :ayatollah:

wow now, wow now, where the f**k did i say you can't have an opinion? i didn't, i just debated your own opinion, christ! facts right 1st please... yeah yak is 10x better but look where he's ended up, playing in some shit league in China! IMO heskey would be great in this league, defences are poorer!

you can apply that to any player, if Giggs was to sign for us tomorrow at his age would you ask what he can do NOW? noo, you've at least got to give someone a chance!

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Yak went for the money.
And He wouldnt be no where near good enough. Akinfenwa would be better. League One would be for him. My opinion.

I found a site saying 15, but it doesn't specify to whether or not its just one season or career total. :?

quite obviously :lol: okay that's your opinion (look look i didn't day it was wrong, before you accuse me again ;) ) but he's far to go for a league 1 side!

Re: Would you welcome Heskey here?

Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:55 pm

I wont ;) Id take him, massive risk. But I dont think hes capable and a player that would be in a promotion hunting side. :ayatollah:

i'd say it's more than his goals tbh as he's a target man :lol: and i know, just putting some players names up to debate, this board is lacking football debate these days, most of it is either red/blue/langston/sam/deleted threads/complaining :lol:
