McFadden at Everton

[Kantareller]

Gotta be worthy of a second look. Outstanding technique. As has been said he was just too slow to be a top class player but he had moments of pure genius in him.

Check out @Everton’s Tweet:

Lol @ Pardew

Really wanted him to succeed - for a time seemed like he’d be a classic Scottish winger but was just sooo slow. Boggling that we were so skint we resigned him

Keeper really should have saved that...

 

[chippy1722]

That's a massive understatement if ever I saw one

This guy was deceptive, as in actually slower than he looked. Try about 10 yards short of being a really good player.

Remember seeing him out sprinted by Viduka once, brought a chuckle from me.

I meant he could beat a player and needed that quick yard to get away and cross/pass etc, over a longer distance even Osman or a current one legged McCarthy would beat him.

Bolasie level footballer.

 

[Big Neville Southall]

I reckon we sold him a couple of weeks too early. We had that 2nd leg in the League Cup v Chelsea coming up and he was capable of doing that one little moment you need that can lead to a chance on goal.

 

[degsy]

Like Bily, he was a player in search of a proper and effective position/job in the team

That goal v Charlton. So underatted. In the top 10 premier league goals of all timw

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Probably the best non-scoring debut I’ve seen in my Everton lifetime,ripped a decent right back in Gary Kelly to absolute shreds,funnily enough the other debut that springs to mind was Tommy Myrhe also v Leeds 0-0,a combination of big nev,Gordon banks,lev yashin etc that day

 

[Gladystweet]

I bet he was unplayable in 5 a side. Just struggled on a full size pitch.

 

[Charro]

He was great on his debut against Leeds.

I remember saying who needs Rooney when we have this lad.

 

[MikeH72]

Terrible player.

The thing that makes him seem even worse, is that he thought he was amazing.

 

[MikeH72]

Most overrated goal of all time, what is the keeper doing? He stands still and catches that.

 

[Timak]

Good thing our days of signing £1m players who don't have a proper position, too slow for the wing but not involved enough in the game to be a #10 but score the odd worldy, are over.

Cost us £45m nowadays.
