David O'Brien on Ginola

Last updated : 11 February 2002 By David O'Brien

If anyone has wondered what Ginola is like as a person then you have to go no further than www.ginola14.com click on the ‘book' link and turn the volume up.

You are greeted with a picture of Ginola and the sound of women in the background singing the word ‘Ginola!' over and over.

This is hilarious and you have to see it to believe it! What he lacks in humility he makes up for with sheer cheese! Probably a nice ripe piece of Brie!

What he will do on the field is of course more important, at least his presence will bolster the squad size, whether or not he can produce anything in the way of class remains to be seen.

Gazza, Ginola, and Blomqvist playing on the same team, what a shame two of them are past their prime. Still who knows what players the next few months will bring?

Pierce? Brosnan? I hear David Platt is looking to get back on the pitch.

"I have always wanted to play for Everton, they are a *** club and I want to win things…………..".

So Everton have three new faces, (I said faces!) to salvage something from another messy season. The last matches of the season may see them gain continuity in their strike ‘force'. Judging from the poll results on everton-mad, most people have opted for the Rad and King together. I think that Radzinski is the best option in terms of promise for the club.

He has looked sharp and pacey; he needs a big man to play alongside him. I don't believe Ferguson is the man needed as the rest of the team seem to opt for long hoofers and this detracts from any chance Everton have of actually playing football.

So Campbell does seem the best option that we currently have to play alongside Rad, even though he will need replacing as the automatic choice at the end of the season.

A return to form or a new striker being brought in is needed if Everton are to pull away from the fodder already snapping at their heels.
