Van der meyde? why isn't he there? reported around 40 k salary for 4 seasons,19 starts and not a single goal. Just 2 assists

Duncan, a costly mistake? He gave kids who never saw the good times some belief, he was and still is their, and MY hero!

that article is plain sensationalist. Throw in som big number salaries and transfers and a low goal return from players who we all know weren't the cpmplete article and that is the total sum of this story. We all know Dunc wasn't a goal machine but he gave a threat that feared defenders and allowed others to prosper. There are many worse buys out there than the big man. Lazy journalism.

always said he never had the ability to match the passion but he did well for us just 1 0r 2 seasons too long

the season before he retired he scored 10, including the winner against man united!

i don't know about that DB, he was talented but i think he lackedthe consistency. The days when he was on song, he was unplayable.

We knew what we were buying that 2nd time around. Terrible injury record but when he was fit there was no team who didn't fear him. Plus the fact the 8m from the barcodes will have paid a considerable amount of his wages so all in all he wasn't really expensive

I'd take Nugent.

and? He still terrorised defenders and created gaps as they'd have 2/3 men on him leaving 1 or 2 of ours unmarked

For the record, Dunc was/is a total legend, he made countless blues believe again, yes he was injury prone and yes you could say he was a thug, but he was our thug.

he got our tattoo on his arm. he married a Scouser. he referred to Everton as "us" even as a Newcastle player. We gave him a chance when the sfa turned their back, we supported him when he was in prison, in return he gave us his love, and his best. He gave us hope, a hero, a belief! He's not just an ex player, he's an Evertonian and he's my hero. Love you Duncan!
