I have watched Zigic with interest during the WC.

I honestly don't believe McLeish signed him to be a 15-20 goal-a-season-striker. It has already become evident that McLeish signed him to be more of a presence by playing him alongside a quicker more predatory finisher - Miccoli was the target, possibly Keane will be the next.

People shouldn't get on his back just yet. If we were going into the season (which we may still do) with him and Jerome leading the line then I may be slightly worried.

People need to remember that the Jerome/Benitez were found out eventually. The pace factor caused teams problems until they learned to control them. Zigic + one other will give us a completely different dimension and threat next season - one that the Premiership will need time to adjust to.

If Zigig is partnered with Jerome then he will be in for a shock!!

If Zigic thinks he is going to get a decent pass, a flick on, a one two or anything from Jerome then He is in for one big wakeup call!!

Jerome will benefit immensely from Zigig from flick on's ,good touch ect..

In short Zigig will be good for Jerome, but Jerome wont be any good for Zigig, not in the slightest!!

I just wonder if the big man has any Idea what he has let himself in for!!!

Kro.

Thats way too harsh kev. Granted, jeromes no world beater. But come on.... The stattos didnt just credit cj with 11 goals did they! He scored them ffs. Hes our best striker atm bar none. And when his first touch is ok he can play a bit too. Not alot, but a bit.

Credit and criticism (in equal measure) where its due imo.


You know it makes sense.....

I can see where Kev is coming from - what will help is if/when we can get some creativity out wide with somebody actually going past the opposition - which will pull defenders out of position.

....and the guy is still only 23. It seems like he's been around for years! He's nowhere near his peak and may learn a thing or two off "the big man"

CJ's record is 1 in 5 for us. Not dreadful by any stretch, but can definately improve as he gets more experienced.

Keep the faith...

So having seen him in Blues shirt laying on O'Connor's goal is anyone thinking of getting the ingredients ready for baking some humble pie.

It doesn't matter how many goals he set up he will have to be judged on goals just like benetiz was.

Not true. Emile Heskey has made a career out of not scoring goals. If he can contribute, albeit by assists instead of / as well as goals, then his signing will have been a good one.

He'll be judged on goals, assists and overall play really though... some deluded folk will expect 20 goals out of him, and boo him when he doesnt get it, you know what some Blues fans are like.


The time he'd get incredibly frustrating is if he gets through one on one with the goalkeeper, and starts turning backwards and running away from goal like a certain little striker used to.

How about Ziggy and Robbie Keane up front for us :)

We have the money dont we < <

Just think of the damage that pair could do together, especially with a new winger (pennent maybe?) to whip the ball in.. :D

I'd even be tempted to renew my season ticket **thumbup

IMO Pennant is only interested in the high life. He'd have made it at Arsenal otherwise.

Blues wanted Keane would he was just too expensive so unless it would more or less guarantee us a Europa League place it doesn't justify the fee. (We need China revenues and a bigger stadium to justify this outlay at the moment).

Its a shame they cant push he boat out a little bit more, Robbie Keane would have been a fantastic signing for us, Thousands more season tickets could have probaly been sold, And we would have had a serious attacking threat for a change, might have improved our goal a game average :)

Oh well we still have C J :rolleyes:

You just watch Robbie Keane end up at the Vile :crying:

It's obvious that you don't rate him, and that is your opinion. But that's all it is, your opinion - it certainly doesn't make it a fact.

CJ scored 11 goals last season, how many did Heskey score **thumbup

Besides fans from all over the country think Heskey is a laughing stock, its only a very small contingency of our fans that dont rate CJ, alot of other fans I have spoken to think he has alot of potential.

Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, and quite a few other players and managers would disagree with you... Needless to say, I disagree with you as well.

The flick ons, the setting up of goals for others, the labour it takes to wear down a defence, the massive work-rate... They may not be goals, but they are attributes that some of us still respect... And many goals have come from his effort.

But the people who know more about what a player offers to the team, the managers, know better and I know whose opinion I would rather listen to. Fans jump on the bandwagon too easily.

Michael Owen always said that without Heskey he would never have scored all the goals he did for Liverpool and England, so there is no way that Heskey is 'a joke'.

I never once said that he doesnt work hard, because he does.

I never once said that there isnt more to a striker then scoring goals, because there is.

All I said was that Heskey is the biggest laughing stock in football, and so far, nobody has proved me wrong.

There are so many jokes that circulate about Heskey all the time, and everybody does laugh at him.

How am I wrong?

Didn't you read the sun this week when they had an article that had 2 goal keepers that have scored more goals than hm in 60 games. All the comments afterwards were making fun of him, seems like most would agree with lukey

TBH I thought he'd quit years ago, just turned up now and again, for a well built guy he spent far too much time on the floor.

Man I would be embarassed to call myself a striker if I had stats like Heskey

Worst professional player I've ever seen.

Genius for carving a career out of zero talent though!

He could'nt hit the back of the net with a handful of grave
l

Just a few of heskey comments
