Right, however that lack of touch or lack of speed of thought didn't hurt us today and didn't hurt him overall. We could have done a lot worse than getting him on a free. I just think, as usual, Evertonians are quick to jump on a player's back and in this case, as in many others, have gotten it wrong.
Time will tell though.
Wow....I could have taken that exact quote and applied it to Fellaini, the Yak, and others when they first started playing for us.
Like I said, a tiger can't change it's stripes, and Evertonians can't stop finding reasons to slate players, even if they have to make a few of 'em up.
I didn't see the game today, are we saying he's a bit mcfadden? Better or worse?
He has goals in him, he always gets in the box. Yes he was crap today. But he isnt a right mid. He will definitely come good.
And Tinkerbell has hit that with a double overhead backflick and look at that celebration, shes licking her own anus.
Did you see the bit where he fell over the ball instead of actually hitting it?
That was the point 35,000 people lost faith.
I said "well in, Naismith", a couple of times today, but I said "FFS Naismith" a lot more times. Some of what's been said here's a bit OTT, like.
Seems to be the scapegoat this weekend, bit weird really. A number of players take time to settle into a team, Baines, Fellaini, Pienaar, Jags, Heitinga all off the top of my head were average to start with for us.
He's no world beater, he's a decent addition to a squad that has no depth, and he will improve.
For a free transfer he's alright.
But he's not exactly ace is he?!
