No joke this time sorry, maybe just a rendition of Jimmy Mac when are you coming back.

Love this bit:

McFadden was a big fans' favourite during his five seasons at Everton before he left for Birmingham in January 2008 and a return to Merseyside would be popular among Everton fans.

SIGN HIM!

He never made it.

But he is Scotland's Wayne Rooney.

Can't wait to see wee Jimmy in the Everton Jersey again. He must only be 22 now.

No need to sign Faddy since Vic will be like a new signing.

I think he was talking about how many goals he scored in 100 games, not his shirt number.

Can't wait to have him back at Goodison Park!

Wow, really? Needless to say we are after him since he'll be free, but I am still a bit surprised. Used as a winger then?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?

David Moyes has been missing you, the fans feel the same way too

Looking at this, on the face of it, it's a big no no.

BUT

We signed him for 1.5M, sold him for 6M was it?

If we got him on a free and used him as a stop gap and sold him for say, 2M then is that not good business?

Or, he might even have learned not to kick the ball at defenders legs when trying to get past them?!

There's no such thing as a Free though really. If he gets a three year contract at £30k a week, then he's costing us over £4.5m. If we give him a five year contract so there's a chance of making money by selling him, then the contract will be worth nearly £8m and he could be with us til he's 33.

I think that any player on a free has run down their contract so they can ask for bigger wages from their new club because there is no transfer fee. So whether there's a fee or not, the net result is the same for the "buyer".

What I'm trying to say is, he's either worth buying or he's not. If they were asking £3m for him would we be happy to see Moyes making a purchase? Cos he's going to cost us nearly £8m anyway on a £30k a week five year contract. And surely he's a benchwarmer for us now?

bring back the fad
