  Everton's Ferguson suffers injury scare

Duncan Ferguson has had a precautionary X-ray on his troublesome shoulder, casting doubt on his fitness for the clash at Ipswich.

The striker damaged the shoulder a couple of weeks ago against Leeds, and has complained that the injury is still giving him pain.

Boss Walter Smith said: "Duncan has gone for a precautionary X-ray but that is something which was done as soon as he sustained the injury with nothing more than severe bruising showing up."

He added: "Duncan is able to run normally in training but found the shoulder was inhibiting his movement when he tried to jump for the ball. We are still hopeful that we will have him available for the weekend."

Did we get a straight cash deal for him or was a portion based on appearances. I hope we just got the cash!

Amazing bad luck or lack of will power has robbed the game here.

It does make you wonder if he's really the world's biggest hypochondriac or he's really just that unfortunate with injuries.

I think there was a million or so due to us after a certain number of appearances.

I seem to remember reading Shepherd saying that we had taken a fixed fee as we didn't want anything to be contingent upon Ferguson playing a certain number of games... the voice of experience!

The voice of the wounded and bitter perhaps, that's Shepherd not Big Dunc!
