The word I am hearing is yes, he wants to stay. |
They both joined in and, hopefully, could be ready for a game in a couple of weeks. |
They'll have seen Sunday's win against Liverpool as a big step towards the title. Maybe the Champions League and FA Cup are becoming more important for them. They might even put out their strongest teams in those competitions now. But we're going there with no fear. We've got a belief about us now and we want to show that. |
Today's performance was exactly how we'd planned it. The players were terrific and kept it going the whole way through. |
We are absolutely delighted to have concluded a deal with a player of Phil Neville's caliber and vast experience, |
We are looking at things positively. The points we have taken recently would stand alongside most of the top teams. |
We are not quite sure about Marcus. We don't have much time to turn things around before Wednesday. |
We are short in the striking department and we need to act. |
We didn't play as well as we should have done, we had a great opportunity today. |
We have a great bunch of lads who are hurting at the moment. They work hard together and we are now looking to put it right. We have not reached the standards we think we should do. Early season performances were not too bad but our play of late has not been what we know we can produce. |
We have been in contact with Michael and his advisors - and unfortunately he doesn't see Everton as a team he would choose at this present time. |
We have been short of real competition all season up front, ... James has started one game, and scored one goal - and that is what we are desperately short of at the moment. |
We have got the derby now and we definitely need to come out of it with more credit than we are achieving at the moment. We have a soft centre at the moment. |
We have never said we would be in this position [third] in the first place at this stage of the season. But now that we are there we are going to try to stay there. |
We have staved off a great deal of competition to get him. From the first minute I spoke to him, he only wanted to come and join Everton. His attitude throughout the entire negotiation process has been first class. |
