Twitter Announces Heskey is Off

[Salsa Party Animal]

Good news for all of us. Let hope he hang up his boots.

[Grande Pablo]

Sods law he'll sign for West Ham or Blackpool & score against us next year.  Written in the stars...

I genuinely hope he finds another club and squeezes as much playing time as he can at this point of his career.

He's an absolute waste of fucking space and the thought he's going is one of the few positives of recent weeks, but I bear him no personal malice.

Anyway, I want him to go to Sunderland. On a seven year contract.

[Ian.]

A move to Sunderland would be a terrific move.

[Jimbo]

I think (pray) he'll go back to the Blues.

£55k a week.

Goodbye Emile you've been dreadful, I'm just relived that I won't have to listen to my mates laughing and saying he's playing Heskey again.....midfield against Citeah was a particularly difficult one to take

[The Left Side]

Fan bloody tastic!

Score against us? No chance....because he'll never see another contract in the premiere league.

Emile manhandled the ref in last season's game v Wigan.

He probably should have been sent off, unless the ref was that twat Dowd, in which case he should have head-butted the cheating shit and been rewarded with a new ten-year contract.

[The Man With A Stick]

Can I just reiterate that my offer to carry him to Leicester no longer applies now that he's going to be out of contract?

[Rimmy Jimmer]

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Piss off and dont come back.

That made me LOL; thanks, Paulie, for making me laugh.

I don't think £3.5m was all that high a fee... 

It was, considering four months later he would have been out of  contract and free. He was in decent form for Wigan at the time (which probably equates to 3 goals in 10 matches) and there was talk of Liverpool being interested again but with our impish swagger towards the top four, MON ''landed him'', ''brilliantly''.

Dave Whelan seems to know how to screw the most out of us he can for players who turn to shite when they leave Wigan for Villa.

[Phil from the upper holte]

153 goals from 712 matches sums it up for me, brought for too much, paid far too much, complete waste of a squad place, thank-you for very little and goodbye.

Best news of the season, Mcleish next and I'll be doing cartwheels
