Jimmy Vaughan off

sad news has been announced regarding one of Evertons most loved and injury prone youngsters, James Vaughan. Reports are coming out that we are going to sell him for a couple of million to Norwich within the next few days.

Have to say I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it is shrewd business by Moyes to offload someone who is injured all the time and so never plays or is a useful member of the squad to keep on the payroll. And to get a reasonable fee for him to is smart dealing also and would allow us to reinvest it to get someone who isn't such a sicknote. But...........part of me is sad to see the boy go as I, like a lot of Toffees, have a fondness for him and a hope that he will still come good given one more chance. The lad is a goalscorerthrough and through and quick with it which is really what we are missing. I guess he was so hyped up when he broke through into the first team a few years back that we still want to believe he can fulfill that potential with us a la Shrek the Third (unlucky at the weekend by the way Wayne ha ha)

but as with everything in life business is business and nothing lasts for ever so I guess it's just the right time for all involved to part ways. goodbye and good luck Jimmy :-)
