Player Valuation: £50m
could yakubu be 'that' finisher we need? johnson isnt a born and bred finisher, need to see more of vaughan, victor is more a hold up player, mcfadden has a bit of everything but not enough of anything, and cahill is the attacking midfielder lethal at heading.
It took drogba over a year to settle into that role and become the complete focus for all chelsea goals.
man ure have still not replaced van nistelroy(sp)
the [Poor language removed] have been searching for the complete finisher since they let fowler go (first time)
arsenal struggled for goals last season with henry out - who is now at barcelona - rvp is a fine player but isnt the same calibre as henry for sheer goal scoring ability.
newcastle seem to have a player in martins that can score regularly.
could yakubu come in for us and be 'the finisher' that will thrive in the space johnson makes and be 'the finisher' that completes the arteta moves with stunning regularity?

haifa was 2 in 3 games
pompey almost 1 in 2
boro is just better than 1 in 3
being fair i expect the service and class around him at everton would see him fare somewhat better than at the dirge-fest that is boro. But i thought that about beattie, so is he the missing link or is he more likely to go walkabout and see us stung for over 10M.
(side note: mido has signed for boro)
"mido has completed his £6m move to middlesbrough from tottenham.
the 24 year old egypt striker has signed a four year contract at the riverside and has been granted a work permit and could be in line for his debut against fulham on saturday.
manager gareth southgate told the club website: 'mido is a player i believe possibly has a point to prove. hes got a desire to come here and score goals.' "
