Sam would be better using that kind of dosh on proven European or African talent.

 

Such as who?

 

Playing devil's advocate a little....

 

Said it on here before but Boro could possibly sell Yakubu at that price.

 

23 years old. 40 goals in 87 PL appearances.

 

But is Yakubu really the age he says he is?

Scroll down to Maccabi Haifa, and he is at the top along with DOB. I realise Nigerians are questioned a lot by their age. Frankly I don't believe that he is the age that link says, but Obafemi Martins was certainly questioned.

They always seem to look older then they actually are, either that or Nigerians are all lying bastards. Kanu looked 45 when he was about 23
