RuffRob,
Spot on mate, he's had his chance, he's been given time and although he looked alright for a while so what? He looked good cos there were no strikers to compare to.
Now we have a true quality striker in Johnson and he makes Beattie look shit. I wanted Beattie to be the one, big money/ scores for fun at Southampton but for us it hasnt worked. It may be the system of the the player so who knows, at the end of the day he is not fitting in and not scoring.
Whenever I have seen him he doesn't look interested, along with VDM, but for some reason we look at them with "well they are boss players", NO they aren't so lets face up/ sort it and make Everton progress.
VDM and Beattie can go as they do not do enough, big money and not enough effort so get rid. Would you accept it in your job? People can be nice but if they aren't pulling there weight then they are shitting on the rest so get rid.
Sorry but Beattie for one reason or another doesn't fit at E.F.C and he can go, not fit/ not match fit/ doesn't ge a run in the team are all my arse. It says a lot that two youngsters are ahead of him, two players who are eager/ full of running & eager for Everton.
