He's here at last -Yakubu

[SJN-Fox]

From the Liverpool Echo

EVERTON striker Yakubu has completed his loan move to Leicester City until the end of the season.

The 28-year-old is set to make his debut for the Foxes in Saturday's Championship clash at Preston.

The Nigerian admits he jumped at the chance to kick-start his career under former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

"It means a lot to me to be joining Leicester and to be given this chance," he said.

"When I had the option to come here, I didn't think twice. The manager is one of the greats in football history and to work with him presents a special opportunity for me."

When fit Yak to play up top, Vassell in support and it's the bench for Gallagher... roll on Saturday.

Dyer more likely to be dropped than Gally IMO

That's what I imagine. If we carry on with the current system, Vassell will probably move back onto the right, and then Yakubu will move into the middle where Vassell has been playing. Dyer will then be on the bench. Poor Dyer...

I don't want to be a killjoy, but why 'subject to League approval' ?

Absolutely brilliant!

No way Sven drops Gally. Nor should he in my opinion.

why 'subject to League approval' ?

Because he's not our player until the league have approved it. It's normal for them to say this, and it should just be a formality.

 

[camberwell fox]

he will rape this league apart will Vassell playing with him.
RESULT.

Olip, could you please refrain from using the expression above, it really is very distasteful.

Who would have thought back when we were signing players like this...

That in just a few short years we'd be signing players like this while one of England's most successful managers watches on?

It really is hard to believe just how far we've come since 2006, I would never have dreamed that we'd have Sven managing us, or that we'd have Yakubu playing for us...
