Going

Gezza is on his way to Sheffield Utd on a 3 month loan.(29/08/03)

Staying

Gezza is determined to stay at Goodison despite the rumours of him going to Ipswich.

Gezza said: "I haven't spoken to anyone about going back to Ipswich.Ipswich is a great club and I enjoyed my time there but at the moment all I am doing is concentrating on working hard for Everton. I have a year left on my contract and due to Richard picking up an injury over the summer I could possibly be handed a chance at the start of the season."(22/07/03)

Gezza In For Arsenal

Gezza could be the surprise choice of David Moyes for the first game of the season.

Moysey said:"Gezza has worked incredibly hard pre-season and is probably in as good a shape as we have seen him. He has lost half-a-stone and is looking sharp. Richard Wright is still touch-and-go for the start of the season so it is good to see Paul pushing himself so hard."(19/07/03)

This Time. Hopefully!

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe Royle has just let his top goalie, Andy Marshall go on a free transfer as Ipswich are skint. The perils of the drop! Anyway, he may come back for Gezza. Lets hope so, as it will release some wages for Moyesy to play with. We'll be lucky to get £250,000 for him. (16/05/03)

Off to Ipswich

Gezza has over come his injury problems and we now have 4 other fit goalies so he sees his days numbered and should be off to join his old mentor Joe Royle at Ipswich before the transfer deadline tomorrow. Gezza played 99 times for the Blues, it is only a vicious rumour that he let in 486 goals, he was a good shot stopper but liked crosses about as much as Christopher Lee, he was out of his depth in the Premiership and we wish him well at Ipswich, get them promoted Gezza and we'll see you next season! (30/01/03)

Gezza To Look For Another Club

Even though he is back to fitness, Gezza knows his days are numbered here at Everton.

Gezza says: “The injury couldn’t have happened at a worse time. It was going well at Ipswich. I was going to sign for another month, but you can’t tell when these are going to happen. You just have to deal with it. To be truthful, I think Richard is the automatic choice, so maybe it’s the time to start looking elsewhere, but we’ll see what happens. I’ve got another year left on my contract after this season. All I can do is train hard and see what happens." (26/01/03)

Gezza's Knacked His Knee

Paul Gerrard has ended his loan period at Ipswich early, as he has dislocated his knee. He will have treatment back at Bellefield.

Joe says: "It was literally in the closing moments of the training session. Paul turned awkardly and the kneecap just popped out. It's obviously a very painful injury and is a blow to both Paul and to us." (14/12/02)

I'll Be Back

Gezza doesn't expect the loan move to become a permanent one.

He said: "At the moment it is just an opportunity for me to be playing and I have not thought about making it a permanent move. Joe is not looking at that as far as I know."(19/11/02)

On Loan

Gezza has gone to Ipswich on a months loan. He is expected to play against Watford tomorrow. He is teaming up with old boss Joe Royle who brought Gezza to Everton from Oldham for £1m in 1996. (16/11/02)

Gezza To Continue?

After one of his best performances for years Gezza still expects to play second fiddle to Richard Wright. He has even had praise from Wrighty himself.

Wrighty said: If selected, I’m ready. But Paul Gerrard has played well in the games he has been in. I think in the last game against Middlesbrough, Gez had a very good game, so it gives the manager a decision to make - which is what he’s there for."

Gezza said:"I’ve come in - I think I’ve done reasonably well in the two games I’ve played, but it’s up to the manager whether I play or not. Richard’s fit again now, so whether he comes straight back into the side is the manager’s decision. Going from number 1 to 35 is hard to take - I don’t care what anyone says, it’s a blow. But the thing is you just have to get on with it, get your head down and work hard in training.(20/09/02)
