I really hope he shines because he is a good kid and someone I got to know well when we shared a treatment room not long ago.
If he gets a proper run, he could well muscle his way into Everton’s starting line-up and that really would be a sight to behold.
Owen not the striking solution
DAVID MOYES will be wheeling and dealing this summer as he looks to find the players who can help shoot Everton into the top four.
A striker will be on his wish list and Michael Owen’s name continues to be linked with a move to Goodison Park.
As good a player as he is, though, I don’t think he would be right for Everton; I have the greatest respect for his talents and pedigree and he has enjoyed a fine career.
But he hasn’t scored much for Newcastle, has been troubled by injuries and if he is not getting 20 or 25 goals a season, there is a danger of him becoming a liability.
I know David was very keen to sign him four years ago when he left Real Madrid but things change and Everton have moved on dramatically since then.
