16. Kevin Kilbane

Killa has flown home from his Dublin training camp to have a medical at Wigan this afternoon. Reports earlier in the week suggested that the midfielder would be joining Fulham, but it appears that Paul Jewell fancies Killa, and has made a last minute bid for the Irish International. A fee in the region of £800,000 has been mentioned. Cheers Kev, best of luck at the Latics, except two weeks on Saturday of course. (31/08/06)

As reported a few days ago, Fulham have made the bid. Now it depends if Moyesy could up the bid to say £1m and use the cash to secure another player before tomorrows transfer deadline. It also depends on if the settled Killa wants to leave high riding Everton for a trip to the smoke. (30/08/06)

According to some Sunday papers, Fulham are set to make an offer of around £750,000 for Killa. This may well help Everton secure Steed Malbranque. (28/08/06)

15. Simon Davies

Simple wasn't even on the bench against Spurs and must be a bit cheesed off. He has never really done for Everton since he has been here. With Fulham trying to get rid of Steed Malbranque, there may be the possilbilty of a swap deal. Yer never know. (28/08/06)

14. James Beattie

Reports form the North East suggest that new skunks boss Glenn Roeder is keen to take Biffa Beattie to Newcastle. The skunks who will be without ex shit 'ed Michael Owen for the foreseeable future are short of fire power after the retirement of skunks and England legend Alan Shearer to boot.

It is understood that Roeder was over heard saying in a conversation with a colleague that he was interested in BT. Me thinks he has a cable service, and he wants to go back to his original phone provider. Unless an astronomical bid is made, me thinks we can put this one to bed, as Moyesy is building his squad not dismantling it. (03/08/06)

13. Lee Carsley - Contract Expires June 2007

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has admitted he had talks with Harry Hill

McCarthy says: "We were in discussions with Lee. But he decided to stay on at Goodison for another year in The Premiership." (20/08/06)

Harry Hill could be on his way to Wolves if new Boss Mick McCarthy has his way. Now that Paul shithouse Ince has been shown the door, McCarthy is in the hunt for an aggresive ball winner, and Harry Hill fits the bill. The two were together when Cars played in Mc Carthy's Republic of Ireland midfield, and the new Wolves Boss is a great admirer of the hirsute midfielder. Harry has stayed at home from the USA trip, and with only a year left on his contract, Moyesy may feel it is time to let the player move on.

Mick McCarthy says: "I admire Carsley, I haven't spoken to David Moyes about him, but we would like somebody of that ilk." (28/07/06)

12. Gary Naysmith - Contract Expires June 2008

Although Everton may be ready to sell Nace, Moyesy has made it clear that Celtic has not approched him about the left back, when asked by Scottish journo's.

Moyesy says: “You say ‘further interest’ but I can tell you that there has been no interest in Gary Naysmith from Celtic. I have heard nothing from Celtic.” (23/07/06)

Moyesy has confirmed that if the price is right, he will allow Nace to join Glagow Celtic. The Hoops need a left back, and with the form of Nuno last season, and Pisto waiting in the wings, it is a position were Moyesy has plenty of cover. The Scotttish left back would relish a move back North, and the lure of Champions League footy may be to great to knock back. Moyesy is reportedly asking a million for the bearded defender. (19/07/06)

Premiership new boys Watford are said to be looking to sign some experienced defenders and Nace is one of the players they fancy. Fancy away. (18/06/06)

German side Stuttgart are looking for a new left back and Nace is reported to be on their list of targets. (14/06/06)

Celtic are said to be looking at Nace for a possible return to Scotland, but only if other deals fall through. Lets hope they do, as Shaggy has never been the player some said he was before his injury. (09/06/06)

11. Joey Yobo - Contract Expires June 2007

Apparently Joe has indicated he will sign a new contract on 1st July 2006. (21/06/06)

Everton have contacted us and asked us to take the story regarding Joseph off the site. We are happy to do this.

The story appears to have originated from a Nigerian newspaper regarding Joseph Yobo which has incorporated fabricated quotes from David Moyes. The manager has not conducted an interview with the newspaper in question and he has made it clear he has certainly never said what the article suggests he did. Everton are in the process of trying to contact the paper in question regarding the quotes in question.

Everton Communications Officer: "The manager has not conducted an interview with the newspaper in question and he has made it clear he has certainly never said what the article suggests he did". (29/05/06)

10. Andy Van Der Meyde - Contract Expires June 2009

If Shandy Andy goes to Porto there is a possibility that Everton may use a swop deal to bring in Benni McCarthy (12/06/06)

What a difference a couple of weeks make. Andy was only saying he wanted to stay (see below) but now he has not made the dutch squad, he's looks as though he wants to leave. With Juventus and Porto in for him. Everton have said nothing, but there were rumours about that Moyesy wasn't happy with his fitness levels.

Shandy Andy Pandy says: "I am sorry to have quit Italian football and Inter. I had a real will to play. I wanted to show my value and earn a place in van Basten's team for the World Cup. It is like I have lost a whole year, because I have played only ten matches in the Premier League due to injuries.

I hope there can be a place for me. I want to start from scratch. I would certainly be attracted to play for Juventus if they get relegated. But my old coach, Adriaanse would like me to help him at Porto. I worked a lot with him at Ajax, but I really hope there could be a place for me somewhere in Italy." (09/06/06)

Reports in the Turkey say that Andy may be ready to join Galatasaray. (30/05/06)

Andy Pandy is shocked that there are reports of him leaving because of him not being fit enough.

Shandy Andy says: "I haven't heard anything about whether the club wants to sell me but I would like to stay and fight for my place. I want to show everyone here what I can do. If they want to sell me, there is not much I can do. I like playing in England, I'm settled here and I spoke with the gaffer before I left for my holidays. I was disappointed the season was very unlucky for me. That's why I want the new season to start quickly, so I can make it up to everyone. We may be on holiday but I will be doing some training. I'll work on my fitness, do some running so I'm in good shape when I come back in July." (12/05/06)

It seems Moyesy's patience with the flying, I said that loosely Dutchman may be running out. Word has it that Everton want rid of Andy who has failed to impress in his injury ridden time at the Blues. He suffered the embarrassment of being pulled off at half time against Boro the other week due to his inept performance, and Moyesy will be happy to tout him around and try and recoup some of the £1.9m that was paid for him last August.

9. Mikel Arteta - Contract Expires June 2010

With rumours circulating that Everton's best player was going to sign for Man Utd, because he watched them play a game at Old Trafford with his parents, and earlier that he was going to the shite. We finally had the opportunity to ask him ourselves at the Blue Kipper Presentation Night.

Mikel says: "No! I'm really honest in saying I'm not leaving. I am very happy at Everton. The supporters are very nice to me. I want to play for Everton and move into Europe. I hope Mr. Moyes will buy some good players to make this happen." (06/05/06)

8. Matteo Ferrari - Loan Contract Expires June 2006

Blackburn are said to be interested in taking the Italian on a similar one season loan deal that he had with Everton. (10/06/06)

Even though he was young and he looked the part the few times he was on the pitch, Matt will be going back to Italy.

Moyesy says: "We have decided not to take up the transfer option on Matteo Ferrari following his loan." (08/05/06)

When he has played he looks that he could be a good player. Problem is the fans haven't seen the 25 year old enough. This has been due to an unfortunate injury against Arsenal. Stubbsy deputised for him and basically that was the end for Mat. Everton have indicated that they would give him a contract, but that was before he walked out of the ground after being left out against Birmingham. All the more surprising that both parties seemed to think they had a future together.

Matty says: "There is a big question mark against my future and I sincerely still don't know where I will be playing next season. But because we are at the end of the season something needs to be done. If Everton want me or just want to extend my loan for another season I think it is time to start to think about that. I would like to know where I will play next season. The only thing I know for 100 per cent is that I have a contract with Roma and if nothing happens then I will go back.

The main issue is that I would like to prove I am a Premiership player. I have not really had this chance so I would like to have next season as well. My future is not just up to me, there are a number of parties to consider, but I know what I would like.

We don't have many games left to play but I would like to play as often as possible to show what my game is all about. I just want to make it clear to all those people that have shown confidence in me that I am a good player. It has been a frustrating season because as a player to give the best of yourself you just need to play four or five games in a row but for a number of reasons, mainly because of injuries, I have not had the chance to show what I am fully capable of as a player. It has been an unfortunate season. Over the last five seasons I have played the vast majority of games for the clubs I have been playing for. This is the first time I have not been able to play because of injuries and that has been upsetting. In the beginning I needed a few months to adapt but after that I felt I settled very well in England and enjoyed the games I played in. I have also enjoyed the English way of life and living in Merseyside. For this reason it is upsetting that the injuries happened in the wrong moment for me." (18/04/06)

Moyesy says: "The word I am hearing is yes, he wants to stay." (11/04/06)

Moyesy says: We won't be discussing any of that (new contracts) until the end of the season. But Matteo is a good player. He is a good defender. We are just disappointed that we haven't been able to see a bit more of him than we have done but we're hoping that in some of the games before the end of the year, he'll get an opportunity. You have to remember that we got Matteo late on, so he hadn't done any pre-season training with us. It's only fair he gets the opportunity to show what he can do." (06/04/06)

Blue Kipper says:

5. David Weir - Contract Expires June 2006

Davie has signed a new one year deal. He had some nice things to say about the Toffeemen. Well done Davie.

Davie says: "Competition is good for everyone. Centre-halves have arrived at the club in the past and it's my job to try and get into the team.
Most players who have left Everton have regretted it and although I had other options, this club was always going to be the winner. The players are a great bunch of lads and the staff are great as well and that makes a big difference." (29/06/06)

The Echo says Davie has signed the contract, but nothing official from Everton.

His agent Dave Lockwood says: "David is still thinking over things but it wouldn't be fair to speculate of what will or won't happen. I've told Jeremy Peace (West Brom) that he will be the first to know as soon as a decision has been made. We expect that decision by the end of this week." (23/06/06)

A month has gone by since Everton offered the Everton skipper a one year extension to his contract. He still hasn't given an answer. It's thought the 36 year old is keen on a possible two year deal on the table from Birmingham and West Brom. Everton want a decision in 48 hours. (12/06/06)

Leeds have pulled out of the chase.

Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell says: "Last summer we tried to get David in, but we moved on. There's been no interest in David this summer." (09/06/06)

Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion have joined the race to sign the Everton skipper. It's believed that the 36-year-old will be offered a two-year contract by the two midlands clubs. (07/06/06)

Leeds and Sheffield United have expressed an interest in taking Davey over to Yorkshire next season. Leeds who took a fancy to the Scottish captain last season, have been joined in the hunt by their local rivals Sheffield United. If the offer is higher and the contract longer that Everton's which no doubt it will be, Davey could have already worn the Royal Blue for the last time. Moyesy is already short on cover in the centre back positions, so this may force his hand to enter into the market himself. It is believed he has £10.47p, at his disposal this Summer. (12/05/06)

The Everton captain is considering a one year contract on reduced terms.

Davie says: "I was offered a new contract only yesterday (Tuesday), the manager rang me so we'll see what happens." (10/05/05)

Moyesy says: "We have offered new contracts to Alan Stubbs and David Weir." (08/05/06)

Everton's captain has had his critics over the season. His lack of pace as he gets older is worrying. Moyesy must decide on whether he can risk another year, when the opposition forwards are getting fitter and faster. (06/04/06)

Blue Kipper says:

2. Li Tie - Contract Expires June 2006

Sheffield United have offered Li Tie a one year contract. (30/05/06)

Li Tie may well join Unsey at Sheffield United back in the Premiership next season.

Li says: "Both sides are very positive. There are only a few details remaining to be discussed. Barring any surprises, we should be able to settle this by the start of next month." (10/05/06)

Moyesy says: “Li Tie has been released." (09/05/06)

The chinese International has not played in the premiership since January 2004. He has been very unlucky with injuries. Having a broken leg, shin and ankle problems, he has never recovered fully for the rigors of the Premiership. He is a nap to leave at the end of the season. (18/04/06)

Blue Kipper says:

1. James McFadden - Contract Expires June 2007

Rumours that Faddy is after a whopping pay deal and if not wants away from Everton are just untrue, according to his agent.

McFadden's agent Catherine Robertson says: "I've no idea where this story came from because it's just not true. I had a meeting with Keith Wyness last week and the talks were very positive. James will speak with Davie Moyes this week and we're hopeful we can get something sorted then. James is happy at Everton and he's very settled in Liverpool." (13/06/06)

Everton have offered Faddy a take it or leave it contract. They have upped his money, but apparently not to the figures his agent was after. So it's up to Faddy. The top Scottish clubs are looking on. (09/06/06)

Apparently Jimmy Mac's agent was in talks with Everton today. Someone, somewhere said he's after a million a year. (07/06/06)

Jimmy Mac wants to extend his contract at Goodison. Some reports suggested that talks had broken down.

Everton CEO Keith Wyness says: "We will be reviewing James' situation over the course of the summer."

McFadden's agent Catherine Robertson says: "I have been trying to negotiate his contract but as yet there is still nothing. All James can do is keep performing and getting it right on the pitch and the rest will take care of itself. 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." (09/05/06)

Jimmy Mac has scored a few goals over the last few games, but is still not the ideal striking partner for Biffa or the left winger we thought he was. However all the noises coming from the club are positive so it looks as though a new contract could be offered. (23/04/06)

having more success in Scotland's national team than here at Goodison, there are rumours that both Celtic and Rangers are interested in taking him back North of the border. Faddy has had a few chances this season, but failed to take them. (14/01/06)
