KillaGTiR Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 McFadden: Put the £2million to better use Everton striker James McFadden wants to save the club a fortune and become the clubs middle man. After a sparkling show alongside James Beattie on Sunday, McFadden believes the £2million rumoured to be going to sign Preston hotshot David Nugent when the transfer window opens in January could be put to better use. McFadden said: "I know the boss stated he is going to buy a striker in January but that is eight games away. "There is still a long time for me to try and perform well and prove myself at this level. If the manager brings in a striker that's good, because it is extra competition — if that's what we need, then that's what we need. "Personally, I was pleased with how things went against Newcastle. I've said for a while I prefer to play as a main striker. I enjoy it and I thought Beatts and I did well. Hopefully, that can continue." 2m wouldnt be to bad what do people think of him?

GoldfishMemory Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'd rather pay 1M for Trundle and take a chance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 i am all for giving mcfadden a chance up front he does it well for scotland but bottom line we r short of attacking options and need to sign a couple of strikers in jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlduffy Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 He played alright against the Skunks but i would hardly describe it as a 'sparkling' performance for fucks sake lol ! Had a couple of good efforts and should have finished better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of good efforts and should have finished better <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My opinion is that we should still give him a chance and STILL sign a striker - if you think about the strike force - there is hardly competition for places - hence the lacklustre response - although they were much, much better against the skunks. I still believe that BT will come good - but he needs a far more reliable partner than James McFadden. Or James McFadden will have to improve immensely over this season to convince me that he is the man for the job... I think that a nice poacher such as Nugent or Robbie Keane would be perfect for us - just what we need - I personally would rather spend £6m on Keane than £2m on Nugent - just because of the premiership expereince and the fact that Keane would see out his contract - whereas nugent, if any good, would look for a move to United or Arsenal...

Guest fozzie22 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Had his chance,not done anything,time to look elsewhere tbh And given his (non) goalscoring record i think its a bit rich calling him a strlier Edited December 1, 2005 by fozzie22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droobie Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'd rather put the $$$ towards an established player, rather than an unknown. We already go around wearing two white elephants... no point buying another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowlo-efc Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd rather use the £2m to pay someone to take McFadden off our hands! Only jokin' faddy lad (he probably reads this forum)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 $2m (no pound symbol on this pc) wouldnt be far off the mark for keane, his contact bein up an all that. then id like nugent or trundle (both blue noses, would try hard, if there talent isnt upto it can get cash back easily enough!)
