Malaga Fan On Anderson Silva de França
Dont get your hopes up over Anderson

We love you Everton have asked one of Malaga's most loyal fans Chocky whats the score with this Anderson fella and when is he coming to Everton. Chocky said "I would like to tell you something positive about Anderson, but neither myself nor any other Malaga fan could I'm afraid. As far as we know, he has come to the end of his extended loan spell and has left the club."

"He didn't make any impact at all even in a squad that got relegated. Having said that, he was playing under two awful managers who couldn't get the best out of a group of players that should easily have finished mid-table."

"But had the team been firing on all cylinders all season, he still wouldn't have made most fans eleven."

So to the few Evertonians who were hoping for the next Rodrigo the message from Malaga is not to get too excited "I'm a Palace fan too, forget about Anderson and enjoy Andy Johnson...sheer class, and I'm glad he went to you not Bolton or Wigan where he would've been wasted."

Home For Everton - Part 1
Kirby named as possible location for new stadium

Kirby is believed to be one of the locations Everton have shortlisted for a possible new home as it's not far from Goodison and good for the suits with great access to the M57.

A development including the building of a new Tesco would be where the stadium would be built.

It may tick all the boxes but it's not in Liverpool although it is now becoming increasingly likely that Everton will move outside the city's boundaries if there is any chance of getting public money.

Fans will be sceptical about the Kirby move and the prospect of playing the next hundred years in a bowl surrounded by loads of shops to rival that of The Reebok and Pride Park.

Chairman Bill Kenwright is believed to be keen to keep the blues in Liverpool and will meet with the mayor and other council officials before the end of the month.

Lescott Completes Everton Switch
Joleon Lescott signs for Everton from Wolves

Joleon Lescott has finally completed his transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Everton with the fee now spread out over the next four years and appearances ect. Lescott comes highly rated by the Wolves fans who know he deserves a chance in the Premier after years of loyal service to them.

We've got him for a good price and perhaps Wolves fans would say too good a price. Lescott says "I am more than pleased to be here. I have been up since five this morning and I was just so excited to get up here and sign the papers and thankfully it is done now."

"I am more than happy to sign because it was one of my favourite clubs as a boy and I am grateful I have the chance to play here."

And there's a change of venue for Everton's reserves who will play their home games out in Widnes instead of Southport at the Halton stadium.

Neville Phil's Captains Role
Phil Neville to be named new captain of Everton

Phil Neville is set to be named as Everton's new captain for the 2006-07 campaign replacing current skipper David Weir. Phil's attitude, work-rate and willingness to play anywhere has seen him become one of David Moyes' favourites and win over most of the Everton fans.

David Weir meanwhile will soon reveal his future plans after Everton offered him a new contract. We believe Weir will leave the club and could even wait until after the confirmation of Joleon Lescott's transfer before he announces his decision.

Also well done to Tim Cahill who scored twice in Australia's 3-1 win against Japan in the World Cup. Cahill who only came on as a substitute scored to equalise and then score again to effectively win the game for the Australians before John Aloisi scored a third.

Martyn Forced To Retire From Football
Goalkeeper Nigel Martyn retires because of a persistent ankle injury

Goalkeeper Nigel Martyn has been forced to retire from playing which has not come as a total shock but still sad news and he'll be missed. We couldn't of asked for any more than he gave us.

Nigel has played great for us ever since he signed from Leeds who had put big Nige on the scapheap and its only a shame he didn't sign ten years earlier (Peter Johnson) when big Nev was on his way out.

Everton Sign Andy Johnson
Blues complete transfer of Andy Johnson from Crystal Palace

Everton have completed the signing of Andy Johnson from Crystal Palace for a fee of around £8.5m breaking our transfer record and we'll are have to get used to reading about AJ but will we sing that song?

Start Of The Silly Season
McFadden speculation prompts the start of another pre-season

For those of you who wondered why James McFadden seemed to have a chip on his shoulder throughout the West Brom game it was because he has apparently rejected Everton's latest contract offer and it is believed that the young Scot is holding out for at least 20k a week.

His agent said "There have been clubs interested in him but he wants to prove himself at Everton and his performances have shown that this season.
"He's had a long run in the team and we are just waiting on a phone call. The ball is in Everton's court."

Fair enough James has improved and theres no doubt he has a lot of potential to become a class player but he has not proved himself yet, and for a player so desperate to play upfront he certaily hasn't filled the onion bag too many times during the last campaign.

Another player who is playing his cards close to his chest is Davie Weir who is in no rush to sign a new deal at Everton and it is believed Leeds and Sheffield United are waiting in the wings.

However expect Weir to be at Everton next season and a deal to be done once he comes back from international duty with Scotland. Weir said "I was offered a new contract only yesterday, the manager rang me so we'll see what happens," said Weir. "We've just started talks and I've been travelling so I've not had much time to think about it, but hopefully that will be the case."

Howard Loan On The Range
Keeper Tim Howard signs for Everton on loan

A deal has been agreed between Manchester United and Everton F.C that will see Tim Howard join us on loan for the 06-07 season.

Goodbye Dunc
Manager confirms end of Duncan Ferguson's Everton career

The manager held talks with all his players on Monday morning and afterwards he revealed that the big Scot’s performance against West Brom at Goodison Park on the last day of the Premiership season was his last in an Everton shirt.

“Duncan Ferguson and Li Tie have both been released and we have decided not to take up the transfer option on Matteo Ferrari following his loan,” - David Moyes.
