Had this conversation with people at work today and, aside from the ridicule that comes with signing heskey I don't actually think he'd be that bad for a short term solution. He's played twice under o'neill and knows his system and the premier league, so he could come in straight away without having to adjust. He's got a better goal record the davies as well. I remember everyone laughed when we signed titus, but sexual deviencey aside he's been a decent signing, so theres no reason why heskey couldn't do a job for us.
FFS how many more anti Heskey posts can we all write? You know what's really amusing? The term donkey Heskey. This so called donkey has played over 400 games in the top flight only and for clubs such as Liverpool and Villa and 50 or so caps for England. He is respected by his contemporaries ane praised by his peers ane is the one forward the likes of Owen, Shearer and Rooney hold as one of the best they have played with. He may not be the one everyone wants but **** me, the lad deserves a bit of respect. He isn't a donkey. Okay? Rant over. LOl
Sports commentator: Why does Calmcubrian call you a donkey Emile? Emile Heskey: I dont know why, but eh haw, eh haw, eh hawlays does and its unfair!
Bexinio,as I say to the wife,the old ones are best!!!Nice to see the comment again...well done!Don't want to make emile out of the comment!
haha love it, im just pleased that MON has noticed his good start was on the Wayne and has now listened to the fans about lack of LB and built a friendship Bridge!
Spot on.....He has had a fantastic career at the top, and I can't for the life of me see why he gets so much stick from our fans...
a) cos he's **** b) even when he was good, he was only average c) he hasn't even been average for 3 years now. Lineker had a great career, we shouldn't sign him either.
This coming from the man that called Bruce all the names under the sun I wont name call but I don't want him, I don't really want Davis either but can see as a short term solution he would be ok. I think its sad that we have gone from Jones, Cisse, Bent, Welbeck and Gyan to Heskey or Davis. I know its a stop gap but I really hope in the summer we go back to looking for genuine quality.
To the original cest,I know you are a huge Martin fan,but if he does sign the donkey,is he right??How many goals does Heskey score??Not a lot,but it matters not a jot as no-one knows if Martin wants to sign Emile.
But are we scoring lots of goals from our current strikers? Heskey would be a shrewd move, he'll score more than Maradona, sorry, Bendtner!!
If Hensley signs and goes straight into the team then it obv. Shows MoN doesn't think much of Ji and Wickham. Heskey a donkey? Rather have a ******* donkey upfront, one of the worst players to play over 100games in the prem
