"At the time, the fee was about 1 million pounds -- and I felt that, for a 30-year-old, that was too much. But Brian’s a fine player and will give Fulham great service. He was good for us on and off the pitch, and I also had him with me at Preston –- so good luck to him."
-- Everton coach David Moyes, for whom McBride, now 31, scored four goals in eight games on loan during the 2002-03 season. The English press has reported Fulham's transfer fee to MLS at about 600,000 pounds ($1.1 million). At Fulham, McBride will be trying to fill the shoes of French striker Louis Saha, who is in the midst of a reported $15 million transfer to Manchester United. McBride could line up against Everton in Sunday's FA Cup clash. (PA Sport)
