Yobo Could Be At Cardiff City Next Season by Ping411: 11:17am On Jun 07, 2013
Super Eagles’ Captain, Joseph Yobo looks set
to make a return to the English Premier
League.

According to some reports in Turkey,
newly promoted Cardiff City are lining up a
move for the former Everton defender, who is reportedly far from happy at Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who missed out on the Super Lig title to Istanbul rivals Galatasaray last month.

Since the season ended on May 19, coach
Aykut Kocaman has left the club and the 32-
year-old centre back is believed to be unhappy with the departure.

In addition, Fenerbahce recently completed
the £5million signing of Portuguese defender Bruno Alves from Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg, and as a result Turkish newspaper Fanatik reported that Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay’s recruitment team are considering a move for the experienced star who spent nine years at Everton under David Moyes. The fact that the Turkish Football Federation
now only permits six foreign players to take
the field at one time in league matches means that the man whose international career with Nigeria also looks in doubt could be available on a cut-price deal.

Yobo, who signed for Fenerbahce for £2m last summer, is Nigeria’s most-capped player having appeared 95 times for the Super Eagles in a 12-year career. And it is that kind of experience that Mackay has claimed he is looking for in his summer recruits as the Bluebirds get set for their first
ever campaign in the English top flight division. While not commenting specifically on Yobo, Mackay, speaking from his holiday in Crete, said: “Our recruitment department is in a very busy period right now working through things. Me and (Cardiff manager) Iain Moody are in touch two or three times a day. “He’s beavering away.

Rastamann: Yobo is old and should leave when the ovation is high!
you are wrong, very wrong... At 30-32yrs, a centerback is considered in his prime because the experience to age ratio is very Balanced...
I prefared Carles Puyol's centerback performance @30-33yrs than when he was 26 and so error prone.
Italy's F.Cannavaro, P. Maldini, and A.Nesta were all awesome@ 32yrs.
Lucio of Brazil was a very Stable Centerback@ 32.
Wait a sec, Ferdinand, John Terry, Vidic, Maicon, Kolo Toure, R.Carvalho, how old do you fink they are?
For Crying out Loud, Goalies and Centerbacks unlike other players should be laced with experience, so they have(need) longer play time, in order to get better.
So why should Joseph Yobo's case be any different@32?
Do you know how old Taribo West was when he retired from being a Centerback?

bros, Yobo is still our captain. He has not been retired by Keshi or NFF and Enyeama is still referred to as the vice captain of the team by the football governing body of Nigeria

This only applies to people that are actually 32 my guy. You don't want to guess Yobo's real age.
