Transfer rumours !

Norpig wrote: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.

I'm sure this is another Donkey but lets give him a chance at least. To boot it's not the players fault or Lennon's for that matter.
Keep praying this club is sold before it's too late.

If Cetlic don't take Carlton Cole we may do.

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.He

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".

That was quick!

The Luke Brattan wiki page has him down as loaned to us already!

Apparently he has signed with us till the 3rd January.
