He did this while at Pompey!
He just isnt dedicated to any cause whatsoever.

He is a fantastic player... when he puts some effort in, but he needs to see what the game means to the fans, and the other players, who actually care.

PLEASE ...DONT GET ME WRONG, !!!

Yak deserves to be disciplined, ...But theres so many other ways David Moyes could've done so. Aferall he was fined £80000 as well as dropping him against READING whiich I think is absolutely unacceptale. ...How about KILL him !!!

The only way that Yakubu can make money for his backers is to keep moving clubs - Boro found out the hard way. Just watch - he will turn in some stinking games so that Moyes will get rid - go to next club for top shillings - do exactly the same .It's just a business cycle - mark my words !!!!!

He missed out on 2 days of preparation for a game, turns up the day before without telling the boss he'd be late. He SHOULD be dropped. We have the players capable of stepping in for him. He wasn't at Everton when we finished 4th and 6th, we can win games without him, he isn't suddenly the most important member of the team.

It's a tough one - Moyes is disciplining him for taking the p1ss which is right, but by dropping him he's potentially risking the club losing points - at a time in the season when we simply can't afford to!

If 5 pm comes & we've got 3 points in the bag - it was the right decision - if we're sat with a 0-0 draw - he's going to look a bit of a dope - especially since Vic's injured & we've only got 2 strikers available.

I'd have been tempted to drop him from the starting XI but put him on the bench.

It's a strong decision, but could backfire

Everton under Moyes works from great team spirit. The same punishment for all players at all levels would make sense to me. He pays his fine gets dropped for a game and that is the end of it. No more is said.
Pretend nothing happened just because he is on form and you risk annoying every other player in the squad and are basically saying he can do anything he wants.

I am 100% behind Moyes.

The Moyessiah has never been one to take rubbish or use double standards with his players. This news doesn't surprise me at all - either Yak being late or the disciplinary action.

All the Moyes haters will have to find something else to harp on about now that we won anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him left out of the squad for Brann too, if his attitude hasn't been contrite. However important we may think the Yak is to our squad rest assured Moyes does not see any player as more important than his dressing room.

I think the fact that Yakubu's fellow countryman, Yobo arived on time contributed towards the manager's decision.They both played in the same tournament and for the same country,one arrives on time, the other doesn't. You'd need a good reason to escape the wrath of management with that.

PompeyFCUK,I know what you mean about not being committed to any cause,his attitude does at times give off that vibe. Even in Nigeria,it is believed he's not committed to the National team. I hope he changes, cause he can be really effective when he's serious.

Moyes has this right.

Yakubu has done well since he arrived but he is not undroppable...as soon as he thinks he is Moyes loses authority an Yakubu will treat Everton with the same disdain he treated Boro before he left.

It wasnt the UEFA final he was dropped for and thats that. Maybe Moyes would've found another punishment, but, I rather think that yakubu would have made a bit more of an effort to get back if he was playing the the UEFA cup final would you?!.

Anyway what Moyes has done is show Yak that, whilst he is held in high regard at Goodison, he is nowhere near bigger than the team. If he goes all sulky on us he's transfer listed at the end of the season and we'll buy Arshavin with the money we make off him. No problems!.
