Blue Kipper

With the signing of Steven Naismith done and dusted, Everton will now intensify their efforts to bring back Steven Pienaar on a permanent basis after Tottenham Hotspur confirmed Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager.

Spurs ended weeks of speculation by yesterday announcing AVB, sacked by Chelsea earlier this year, has signed a three-year contract to replace the ousted Hawwy Wedknapp.

Peanuts suffered under Hawwy before being released for a new lease of life in the January transfer window when he came back on loan. He has expressed a desire to return to Everton permanently, but last week suggested he would wait until talks with whoever replaced Redknapp as Tottenham manager before making any concrete decision.

Greedy bastards Spurs are asking for a fee of £6m which could scupper any deal unless Moyesy and Blue Bill can weave their magic.
