Naismith? Thoughts?

[Brennan]

he's not a great player, but a decent backup for ACM, he makes great runs into good areas and would get us probs 10 goals a season with tap ins if he was a regular. has a good understanding with jelavic

...but doesn't do a lot else. God knows why moyes is playing him on the right though

Osman
Anichebe
etc

 

[tim cahill]

There's something about Naismith that reminds me of Cahill. Think he'll pop up with a lot of important goals for us.

 

[davek]

I thought the same. If we stop having a go at Coleman he would be the next in line.

I do think Naismith has something though, its just not working for him yet.

Too slow for the wing; doesn't think quick enough for a job in behind a forward (at least not on the evidence so far in this league). He's destined to be someone we turn to off the bench - like Anichebe is.

Think we should see him play there first before we write him off.

He has good vision and very good movement in the box. I think he'd do really well behind Jelavic.

Disagree completely there. We'll see if he's given a chance there, although i suspect he'll be Osman Mk2 in regards his position.

or pienaar with oviedo on the left? no point in buying the lad if he'll never play when we're short on numbers

Moyes gets a buzz of playing people out of position. I don't get it.

Give him a few months before you judge him. Still coming back from a very serious injury. Will take time.

 

[Blue for you]

he has scored 2 goals this season 2 more than Andy Carroll has and look what he cost liverpool
give the lad a chance i think he will become a good player at Everton watch him score again Norwich city on saturday

He's sneaky as hell too. Methinks the sun hits off his skin and blinds the defenders for a sec.

 

[Summerskin]

Seems a good little poacher, works best behind Niki.

Stop doing a Marcus Bent and move him infield, Moist.

How long do we have to give him to come back from this injury before we're allowed to say he's an average at best player who's ok at scoring from six yards?

Inzaghi was pretty good at scoring from 6 yards. He wasn't so bad. Naismith isn't awful, he's a good utility player at worst.

 

[quasi modo]

SPL bog standard player at best.

I know. He's sometimes like a hyperactive kid making a stew. You never know what it's going to taste like.
