"I know Wayne's back from suspension next week which is great for the team but I don't think about what it might mean for me," said Radzinksi. "I know with that sort of competition I've got to just go out there and produce my best every week and I think I did that against Leeds. I can't be worrying about what Wayne's return might mean for me, I've just got to concentrate on my game.
"All I can do is try to help the team's performance and train hard, then it's up to the gaffer to decide who plays but I think I've pushed my claims this season. Every big club needs a lot of competition for places if it is going to achieve anything so I don't see it as a problem, I see it as a good sign for Everton, it's a bonus. With Wayne coming back we have five strikers chasing two places. It's a big task for the gaffer to decide and I don't envy him."
My thinking is that Rooney won't come straight back, why would he? Being young he is going to get injured and suspened enough, so he should only be used when required. At the moment, Radzinski is looking like a top class striker, and you never change a winning team.
