Naismith fulfils a very important role in the Everton set-up. One for which he gets no appreciation at all. His role has become more important this season and will be vital if we continue to improve.
He is the one the moaners moan about. If things are going too well, if we are 4 points behind the league leaders and still in the cup then the opportunities to moan diminish, that is when Naismith comes into his own.
The guy scores a hat-trick against the champions and we have people on here hoping 3 goals doesn't get him a starting place on the next team.
H appears to be a pretty sound human being to me, he isn't world class, he has more endeavour than he has skill but he puts on a blue shirt and he commits himself to the cause. He does enough for me to believe he should be at Everton, maybe not as a starting player but he has a place at Goodison.
If Norwich came back with a £10 mill offer I would sell him, but partly because I think he would want away, he is at an age he needs to be getting football and he needs to play to stay in the Scotland team. If we kept him against his wishes his head might drop and he would be a much lesser player.
But ask yourself, if he goes who do the moaners pick on next.
