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 :-)
