Zokora Hints at Exit

I've got to admit that last season I was a Zokora basher but I do think he's been good this season, especially when used in a utility role. Not irreplaceable by any means but he'd be a decent enough back-up player if he did stay, and he does genuinely give his all, even if he is limited.

I dont get some of you people. Didier gives his all for the club, and whilst he may not be the best footballer he trys his heart out and loves the club. He's much better than O'hara for a start, who also trys very hard, yet most of you all love him.
He's not better than JOH. He's a better athlete, and physically has an advantage, but JOH shoots, hits the target and often scores. JOH can also pass the ball and control it, qualities beyond Zokora.

I wouldn't bat an eyelid if Zokora went, but I'd be disappointed to see Jamie O go.

To be frank I wouldnt bat an eyelid at either of their departures.

I'm not saying either should be sold, but I would expect both to be easily replaced with better quality.

I can see fulham signing both Huddlestone and O'Hara for a combined 12m

Hopefully Zokora going will settle Huddlestone a bit. Dunno where these O' Hara rumours are going, but hope they are wrong. We need him.

Zokora does give his all and he plays like he does care but unfortunately he's bloody useless in CM in the premiership and I've had to endure watching him contribute very little for far too long


Jamie O'Hara offers much more to the side and also scores a few goals. It may be the case that O'hara also leaves because maybe he too is not quite good enough but I'd have him anyday in midfield ahead of Didier.

O'hara is useless too, seems like arry is starting to see the light on that one though

Cock.

And let's write off a player at 22, shall we? There's absolutely no possibility he's going to improve any further, is there? :roll:

On the other hand, although I've warmed to Zoko over the past year or so, at 28 he really isn't going to get any better, and although he clearly loves the club and his commitment can't be faulted the arrival of Palacios, who's maybe the player we thought we'd got when we signed Zoko, has been the writing on the wall.

he always gives 110% and is a great squad player, understand him wanting to leave and you silly silly buggers will be proved wrong because there will be no end of suitors for Didi.

I think we could have done with Didi today helping build some counter attacks in the 2nd half

.

let alone the fact he must be in and among our highest goal scoring mids this season, i'd imagine his his goal to minutes ratio puts shame to some of the other players too

aint that the truth. fucking redknapp and his chronic failure to affect a game with a very decent bench

The thought of a Didier Zokora substitution to change the course of a game is laughable

As a replacement for an injury yes but to change a game, never

This is going to happen a lot as the world cup approaches. Any player for a national team with a coach who insists on regular first team playing or your not picked. Neither Bent or Defoe will want to be sitting on the bench next season, nor Bentley or JJ.

i guarantee not one of them will have finished above us this year, and we only had two points from eight games!

the one guy that might have had a punt on him is our manager!
