Steven Naismith

[The binman chronicles]

It's a positive sign of progress when we can look back and mock Naismith. Just last season I was wishing he still played for us!

And to be fair to the lad due to so many gash players we've had over the years he barely registers. So many more candidates worthy of this accolade.

He was an ideal squad man at the time 8-10 starts a year bring him off the bench when wanting something a bit different. Not the type of player who will whinge at not starting as long as he's involved. I would rather have Naismith than Niasse in hindsight but it seemed good business at the time. However where we are aiming now nowhere near good enough! Imagine Naismith, Klaasen and Hibbert in the same team it would be like when we had Gravesen, Carsley and Johnson!

Would score more goals than Cenk has this season for sure....

Doubt it personally.

Evertonian

Doubt it personally.

Wouldn't be difficult to be fair...

He has always been an underrated player...

Underrated? He’s not very good and never was. And that’s me over rating him.

Don't get the snide comments we got him for free the lad always gave 100% he slotted against the RS and we sold him for 8 million profit .Ok he will never be up there with the greats who have played for us but having said will always have a soft spot for Naismith .

Say what you want about Naismith but there’s no getting away from the fact he scored some big goals for us. And we made a bit on him if i remember correctly?

Never forget

Scoring hatricks against top 3 sides and netting results in derbies. Our squad has been littered with such players over the years. Can see why we look back at Naismith and laugh.

 

[Walken]

he was too crap for norwich, norwich

 

[MikeH72]

He was absolutely terrible and we couldn’t string a move together in the final third when he played, stop this at once.

They were about 15th when we played them and ended up finishing 10th.

 

[Tubey]

He was an underrated player. Had really good intelligence for the role just off a main striker. What he lacked was general ability and pace to be a proper top level player.

For where we were at at the time, he was a solid squad option at all times and doesn't deserve to be mocked.

Signed on a free sold for 8 mill, win.
