Free Agent

Paul Gerrard has issued a come and get me plea to Forest boss Joe Kinnear. Paul who spent a good portion of last season at Forest on loan, is now officially a free agent, after his contract with the Blues expired yesterday. Gerrard who has been with the Blues since 1996, has not really reached the heights expected of him when ex boss Big Joe Royle signed him from Oldham. All the best goes to Paul from bluekipper.com, and we hope he gets fixed up with a club soon.

Gezza says: "It would be nice to go back - but at the moment, I am waiting on phone calls. I loved my time at Forest last season and the team did very well while I was there. I think Forest have got a great chance of gaining promotion this season and should be aiming for at least the play-offs."(01/07/04)

Gezza Leaves For Forest

Gezza is on his way to Forest on loan for the rest of the season, but because he becomes a free agent at the end of the season, itsa good bye to Gezza.

Gezza says:"You’re in the shop window. If you play well then you get yourself a move for the following season, so it is an incentive for me to do well there. Hopefully I can do as well as I did at Sheffield because I enjoyed my time there. I enjoyed training, enjoyed the games and I hope it goes as well at Forest as it did in Sheffield.”(25/03/04)

Gezza Staying

Everton's hopes of reducing their wage bill, and hopefully bringing in a few bob as well, were dealt an unlucky blow, when Paul Gerrard tore his cartilage. Gezza who was one of a few players, who would have definitely been transferred, or certainly loaned out in the transfer window, will now stay on the Everton wage bill, at least till his return to fitness.

Moyesy says : "Paul is in need of a cartilage operation on his knee, he's got a tear in his cartilage that he did in training. He's been on loan at Sheffield United and since he came back from that just before Christmas he's been fine, he's been training. But he hasn't had any reserve games in that period and he thinks he has damaged the knee in training." (16/01/04)

Get To The Back Of The Cue

Paul Gerrard stay at Sheffield United has come to an end, when terms could not be met regarding an extension to his loan period. Jezzer is ready to tackle the competition in front of him, to win back his place, but are we ready for him.

Jezzer says: "It has changed a bit since I left with Nigel Martyn coming in, but competition for places is something I have been used to throughout my career here at Everton. It is up to me to prove to the manager I can play my part." (01/12/03)

Hoping For A Permanent Move

Jezzer is hoping to stay at Sheff Utd permanently in the Jan Sales. Having seen himself relegated to 5th choice behind Martyn, Wright, Turner, & Simmo, he realise's his future will be away from the Premiership.

Jezzer says: "If I go to another Premiership club I'm probably going to be facing more of the same."

Sheff Utd Manager, Neil Warnick says: "I don't think there's much chance, no. Not at the moment. We couldn't meet his wages. He's still got another month of his loan left anyway, so we're not thinking long term with Paul yet. But things change and we can't rule it out altogether." (29/10/03)

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.

Moyesy 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)
