My personal feelings on this one is that Beattie, as the more established Goodison player and after his performances last year...in that I mean getting fit and having a great season after xmas, should get to wear the No.9 shirt.

 

The No.9 shirt is close to every evertonians heart - it is a symbol of love for one team and fear for the opposition.

 

Dixie owns that shirt, no matter who wears it.

 

Latchford, Linekar and Sharp give it the respect it deserved

 

Its not about high goalscoring - its about shear grit, determination and passion for the blue cause - only special players should EVER get the right to wear it and they should be forced to EARN it.

 

Big Dunc earned it by being a favourite with the fans and giving us hope when the chips were down.

 

Campbell deserved it after he single handedly kept us in the premiership.

 

So - sometimes, the shirt should be put on reserve until somebody reaches the high enough status to deserve it - but, its likely to be given to someone this year - so who do you think should get it?

Beatts for me he showed flashes of Everton spirit last season and i think the lad is realy starting to understand what playing for Everton means.

 

Lets hope our new No. 9 starts to score like Latchford and let AJ earn the shirt as realistically he wont understand the significance for at least a season of being blue.

I think it would be wrong for AJ to get it IMO, he hasnt even shown he can do the business for us yet atleast Beattie has to a certain extent with his massive improvement after xmas

Raining on the parade a bit here, but I know the legend and folklore surrounding the No 9 shirt, it's just a number and I just want the bugger wearing it to score goals. So I don't really care, and with the instigation of squad numbers any shirt will lose some of it's romance. Just a thought.
