Does Ameobi Deserve Better?
"People say it's taken him a long time to establish himself but when you look at it he spent a lot of that time behind Alan Shearer. It wasn't as though there was no one in front of him for five years and he failed.
"He's behind Michael Owen now as well. Most fans might probably pick Michael, Oba Martins and Mark Viduka - but Shola's a good player and he'll play his part."
