Birmingham sign McFadden

Birmingham City have confirmed the signing of James McFadden.

A fee of £4.75m with another £1m based on add-ons.

"He is not just a guy who can score great goals," said Birmingham boss Alex McLeish. "He can also create, make things happen and he has a big heart."

"James is the type of player you know you are going to get everything from for the entire 90 minutes of a game,"

He has matured. He has had his initiation at Everton in the Premier League and for me he is a definite Premier League player. He has shown that in a very good Everton side this season.

"When he has come into the side, I am not so sure anyone has looked as good as him."
