SCOT James McFadden arrived with more baggage than the usual の間の-city traveller when he touched 負かす／撃墜する in Merseyside from Glasgow five weeks ago.
Scotland's brightest 発見 of 最近の times brought a tainted 評判 after 祝賀s to 示す his first 上級の cap - at the end of a Far East 小旅行する 16 months ago - ran beyond the scheduled finishing hour and he 行方不明になるd the 計画（する） home.
Profuse 陳謝s to 経営者／支配人 Berti Vogts followed soon enough, but there were still murmurings that nightclubs might 人物／姿／数字 on the McFadden レーダ after his move from Motherwell.
At a time when the image of young players 証明するing a 義務／負債 to society, never mind their clubs, is perpetuated by the day, the Scotland 今後 could easily have been portrayed as another unwanted headline waiting to happen.
He wasted no time dispelling any 疑惑s, however, and 保証するd Everton 経営者／支配人 David Moyes there would be an extra pair of 注目する，もくろむs 監視するing his every move - his mum's.
While most 選び出す／独身 20-year olds might relish prospects of a bachelor pad and nights on the town, McFadden has kept 誘惑 at arm's length by surrounding himself with の近くに family.
'It is a 事柄 of 存在 選び出す／独身-minded about trying to give myself the best chance of 後継するing 負かす／撃墜する here,' he said. 'That is why I was keen to 避ける the usual thing of living out of a スーツケース in a hotel for the first few weeks.
' I moved into a flat at Sefton Park the day I arrived here and I brought my mam and dad and brother with me. It is 広大な／多数の／重要な having the family around and there have been no problems with homesickness どれでも.
'I am a Glasgow boy and this is my first big move, but I have settled in straightaway. It is just like home from home, really, and while the 残り／休憩（する） of the players have helped me feel part of things, having my family in the flat with me has been brilliant. It is important everything is 権利 off the pitch and I can honestly say it doesn't feel l ike I have moved away.'
McFadden has を締めるd himself for the sort of public 承認 that is bound to follow a みごたえのある 十分な 首相の職 debut against 物陰／風下d, which he hopes to follow up at 刺激（する）s today.
'There has not been much feedback from fans on the streets so far, but I'm not sure they recognise me yet,' he said. 'They were brilliant with me last Sunday and I could sense the excitement every time I went on a run.
'If they 推定する／予想する that from me every game, 罰金. I 推定する／予想する it 同様に. I need to 持続する that level of 業績／成果 to keep my place and that is why I am so happy to be here. I was never Mr Consistency at Motherwell, but I know I can't afford any slips here. One bad game and I could be out of the team.'
Blackburn hope to 増加する the 開始するing 圧力 on 物陰／風下d 経営者／支配人 Peter Reid at Elland Road today, but their 経営者／支配人 Graeme Souness has plenty of sympathy for his old friend and 競争相手.
Reid 生き残るd a boardroom 審議 this week over his 未来, and Souness says 経営者／支配人s just have to 受託する the 誘発する／引き起こす-happy nature of club chairmen.
Souness said: '経営者／支配人s don't get any time to 証明する themselves at clubs these days, but it is a mad 商売／仕事 we are in and I suppose there are a lot of mad people running football clubs. Reidy is a mate and I'm surprised that his 職業 has been 脅すd so 早期に in the season, but as 経営者／支配人s we just have to 受託する that these things happen now and you can't do anything about it.'
Souness has been 堅固に 批判的な of his players in 私的な this week as they 試みる／企てる to end a bad run of their own which 含むs four 敗北・負かすs in the last six games.
