Going Nowhere!
23 year old Nigerian International and this season's top scorer, Aiyegbeni Yakubu (or The Yak as he is lovingly known by the fans) has made the popular decision to snub the upcoming African Nations Cup in a bid to become the Premiership's top scorer. Better news for Christmas there could not have been!The tournament is due to make a big dent in many premiership squads, with players making it to the final stages likely to miss up to nine games in the top flight. This had been a big worry for fans with so many crucial games coming up in that period, but Yakubu announced his non-participation this morning to some relief from the Boro faithful. It seems he does not get on well with the Nigerian manager, and although he states he would dearly love to compete for his nation in the prestigious tournament he feels the experience would be bitter-sweet in light of his relationship with Augustine Equavoen. Well, their loss is Boro's gain for sure. It is still possible for the African team to persuade him otherwise, but for now The Yak seems adamant, and with a real shot at beating the likes of Henry, Owen, Lampard et al to the golden boot why not?!
Go on The Yak!!!
