Yakubu

[city-faithful]

I did some digging myself, the claims are when he was 25 the real age was supposedbly around 31-32. Which would be about 34-35 now. Some interesting pages I read, many claiming that its common for nigerian players to fake their ages, kanu another example. Even moyes made a public comment about his age. Funny enough yak's form for everton dropped shortly after that comment.

However the basis of the claims was simply based on how the player looks, that to me is far from reliable so its hard to take serious, eg. I often got told when I was 19 I looked like a 40 year old.

Arjen Robben always looked knackered to me, and he's still a young un.

Really? Shame... I'd love the Yak back for the season

Well he's definitely going somewhere. According to Fourth Official he's been left behind from their trip to the US and you can no longer get his name printed at the club shop.

What about my Everton supporting mate, Chris Yakubu? He'll be furious.

He's simply re-reporting this from an Everton Fan site ...

Surely you can get whatever name you want printed at a club shop?!

why would we bid 4million when a previous lower bid was accepted, have we gone stupid or have everton somehow increaed his valuation in 2 weeks of non playing.

Not saying I don't believe you. But how do you know this?

Apparently Willo Flood is "26"

Of all the forwards we've been linked with, Yakubu is the one I'd like to see lead our front line next season.

Sod what Alan Young thinks

Without wishing to start the debate on him all over again, he brought more to the table for City last season than I have seen from a striker for many a year.

 

[Miles Away]

If he stayed fit he'd score goals. Simple.

I told him.

Notts is The Insider. Pearson to Burnley, remember.

 

[escos66]

I told him.

So who told you?

Of course, but it's not on their website as an option anymore.

 

[Blue Maniac]

So who told you?

That was me. Sven told me.

I fear that has already started by having another Speculation thread about him......

So who told you?

You're just going to have to trust me.
