Don't see how Cole is different to Heskey. Same lousy goal record

Hang on a minute - Heskey has a better goal scoring record than ALF - at least he did have before he went to Australia and then joined us.

117 goals in 442 games - in the Premiership which isn't bad seeing that for half his career he was an out-and-out winger.

Compared to Alf's 153 from 385 in the lower divisions for Stockport, Rochdale and the like.

Good player was Heskey once upon a time.

Trotts to Forest is back on, the embargo snags have been ironed out behind the scenes.

I think he wants to be sacked.

He was never prolific. 60 in 150 appearances for Liverpool hardly prolific. 46 in 154 for Leicester.

He wasn't a winger at Liverpool and certainly wasn't at Villa or Wigan, so lets not make excuses a poor player imo

No scoring has never been his game

You see the stats and then say that? Not sure if your memory is struggling but the strikers at Liverpool were Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler so Heskey's role was to give them the ball - and he still scored a shedload. Plus who could forget his assists and goal in GERMANY 1 ENGLAND 5 and the fact that he is in the elite club of players who have scored more than 100 goals in the Premiership. Only 24 players have ever achieved that honour and Heskey has scored more premiership goals than Le Tissier, Drogba, Scholes and Giggs.

I never liked his style but respect is due and he was certainly not a "poor player".

The key word from our perspective being "was".

Longer than that - I think "that" Germany match was 2001 or thereabouts.

I still think Heskey coming off the bench late in the game gives the other team something extra to think about but starting a game? nah not for me

Not for anybody as far as I can tell. Personally I wouldn't start Madine either because having a lump up front pretty much determines the system and the way that the rest of the team is set up. And it's really, really predictable. Hence our league position.

If true, it looks as if Lennon is sticking to his guns tactically, even though it hasn't worked with Madine or Heskey.

Will he play against Leeds?

I truly hope not. Useless lightweight ponce. He'll fit right in.

I mean beggars can't be choosers but jesus christ.

You could probably put this news in the going down thread. :facepalm:

If we were releasing Heskey to bring in Ameobi, I'd be up for it (very slight upgrade). But we're not, now we have 3 target men none of which can move.

It's a "pay as you play" deal apparently.

Wonder how much he's paying us?

(Oh yeah, and he's injured by the way. That's why Palace fucked him off and Charlton passed on him.)

Wonder if Lennon plans to play him as a wide man?

Why if after his initial trial when he wasn't offered a deal, is he now being offered one after being turned down since by Charlton and Sheffeld Wednesday? It's pure desperation on Lennons part i'm afraid.
