Firstly; wages.
Secondly; christ I hope not.
Back in the far mists of time, Heskey was a potent attacking threat, a player to be feared by defenders across the land. Unfortunately, since those heady halycon days, he's become a player more attuned to being a threat in the box, namely by standing still and allowing wingers to punt the ball in off his face. If we signed him for something reasonable (pay-as-you-play?) then maybe, otherwise I'd hope Gus would take a gamble on a promising youngster.

No chance of paying him anything like he got at Villa.

No thanks. His wages would be a big factor, plus he more or less lived in the North anyway. (Leicester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Villa). I think he will want to see out his career with Leicester.

I don't think any club will pay him what he's been on at Villa. At this stage of his career he will expect to be earning far less next season.

Two seperate people have told me today Heskey has bought a flat in Sussex Heights.
I don't believe them.

what about jon stead brizzle shitty 6"3, brizzle money issues, he has prem exp, should not cost that much as 29. i think would be tempted by promotion push rather than relegation fight?

A very good player in his prime,the only thing he would add to our team is weight also his injury record is not good and would hardly improve at his age.

He'll give Uncle Fester a run for his money in the falling over and rolling on the ground stakes.

John Carew is the man we should be looking at. If West Ham go up surely Carew will be surplus to requirements. Hasn't been overplayed this season, probably more due to West Hams style of play and the other strikers they have, then down to Carew himself.

we NEED that weight and height desperately - him plus CMS = maybe,just maybe the dream team (although many training ground accuracy drills next season hopefully!!)
as for injury record - Gus is a gambler and it paid off with Vicente , hopefully the same will do.

That's so he can retrieve the balls he fires wayward after having a kick around on the beach....

No thanks. Past it and not physical enough for his size. He's off to Blackpool's Veteran Strikers home.
I wouldn't complain at this at all.

Back From The Dead
Would be ideal, also if we signed him it could be influencial I Vicente staying, seeing as they played together at Valencia !
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
So given the CMS and Vicente sagas, we've signed him then
Talksport got it right, Naylor got it wrong (again)
No way we couldn't play him up front with Owen and Zamora, could we?
