James McFadden has re-signed for the Blues until the end of the season.

The versatile player joins the Toffees on a free transfer after being released by Birmingham City at the end of last season.

McFadden missed most of last season through injury, but David Moyes still moved to offer the Scottish international the chance to re-join Everton on a short-term deal.

A player with undoubted ability, during McFadden’s first spell at Everton he scored 11 times in 109 appearances, however a combination of injuries and inconsistency led to the 28-year-old’s eventual £5m departure to Birmingham City in 2008.

Everton beat off competition from Celtic and Wolves for his signature.

Although we have a small squad, bringing another left-sided player to complete with the likes Magaye Gueye, Roysten Drenthe and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov would perhaps be deemed unnecessary by most fans. What do you think? Leave your comment below or in our forums.
