Jason Scotland for Brighton.

Jason Scotland for Brighton.
By Bob Gear.[/size]

Mark McGhee is known to be chasing 2 strikers currently. One of them is thought to be Trinidad & Tobago forward Jason Scotland. Scotland scored 15 goals in 35 games for St Johnstone, as they finished second in the Scottish First Division resulting in a call-up to play for Trinidad & Tobago in the World Cup Finals.
Meanwhile, Port Vale's Chris Birchall is reportedly a target for Portman Road boss Jim Magilton
The 22-year-old midfielder impressed many observers with his displays for Trinidad & Tobago in the World Cup and Ipswich are set to make a £150,000 according to reports on Sunday. Birchall has been with League One Port Vale for the whole of his career to date, notching up 91 appearances to date.

In my opinion, they should both move!

Chris is not a premeirship player, not even a premiership squad player, so it would do him a world of good to get into the championship and improve on his skillz.

As for the money, i think it is fair compensation, i could be wrong, but it is just my opinion. 

Chris is not a special player, he might be in a few years but right now he isnt.  He has the worst first touch of all our midfield players and is not a good passer of the ball.

What he adds to the side is something that most Trinidadian players dont have.......a tireless spirit. We need that in our midfield.  This quality is very common in England so unless he improves the other aspects of his game he will remain a league one player.

He has a chance to play at a higher level and i believe he should take it.

And as for the transfer fee........before he played for trinidad, what was his worth to port vale?

ah love it!!

I rate him a little higher than that man.
His first touch lil heavy but his tackling and shooting are assets. His crossing is also solid.

yuh bein' a lil harsh Andre...the man has good range on his long passes.....and although his  first touch is heavy at times.....let's be honest, Birchall's touch isn't worse than Theobald's or Whitleys, they too occasionally over push the ball etc..........he has a better shot than either of those two, and his work rate is better than theirs as well (you might say that's common for an Englishman, but I almost believe that he has good work rate even for an englishman, and I wouldn't discredit that value of his).....and he's younger than they are....so if yuh not rating him as a premiership potential, ah hope yuh not rating them up there either.......I agree he might not be premiership material as yet, and I agree that he should make moves into higher leagues......

Those are not bad sides at all. That would be very good for them especially Soctland as I think that he carear will be able to grow from there.

[Israel]

I find Whitley has a good touch.

kicker, i am only sounding harsh because i highlighted his faults.  He is a valuable addition to our squad, but i wanted to open a lot of people's eyes to what kind of player he really is.

i never said that he does not have premiership potential, i said that right now he is not premiership material.  I will not rate whitley and theobald as premiership material either.  Whitley has a better touch (maybe because i have seen alot of whitley), but his consistency is not there as yet.

I will be one of the first people to say that we need birchall in our team because of his work rate. 

Birchall has the best shot of all our players, and his 3 international goals are a true testimony to that.

I only hope that he moves on and plays at a higer level and continues to develop.  Once this takes place, trinidad and tobago will continue to be in good hands.

ah love it!!

Birchall is a winger with his club Port Vale. I think Beenie used him in central midfield because he displayed the understanding, industry and discipline that was badly needed for that role. If it says anything, it's that he is a team player. To sacrifice his attacking side for the "unsung hero" role, also shows his versatility and also raises his value in the eyes of the coach.

Way to go Me Mum!!!!!!
