The Official McBride Everton Thread

[Scouse]

a fully-fit campbell, admittedly a little way off, is pretty much the perfect foil for radzinski/ rooney. he is just so strong and despite his only relatively average size wins everything in the air.

mcbride flitters in and out of matches. sometimes it's easy to forget he's playing cos he exerts no influence of the game. even this season, when he's been scoring some valuable goals for us, over the 90 minutes he's had quite a poor game. honest opinion.

i mean, this is almost irrelevant anyway as to who is better. in everton's current situation we simply can't afford to pay $5 for a striker over 30 who does a similar job to a player we already have. i'd, and i'm sure moyes, would rather strengthen the midfield...(or possibly buy a better left-back :p)

True but when Mcbride gets the ball there more of a chance of him scoring or doing something with it than Campbell. Lets face it in Mcbrides Defence he has only had five 6 weeks with the club and comming off a 5 month layoff. Thrown into the mix without any Match experience with the club has done more than Campbell when he is fit. Mcbrides insert has made me realise that we should think about trading Campbell, and finding another forward, not saying Mcbride is the guy but Campbell IMHO is not.
If Rodrigo is given the chance and comes back Fully then he would bulster the mid Field, yet we are still missing one more good player there.
