Arteta Agrees New Five Year Deal !!!

[ChicagoToffee]

Agree that his silence does not follow his past practices and is unsettling. I agree that silence is only driving the offers upwards. Agree that transfer window silly season sucks. Agree that I might agree with anything else posted today.

Kenwright said he and Moyes have spent considerable time persuading Mikel that his future lies at Everton himself a few weeks ago so it's not paper talk.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I'm resigned to him leaving now. The silence speaks volumes.

He has a decision to make so is taking his time making it.

At this point in time any statement saying anything other than that would be untrue and unfair on all parties.

Sure its not the best sign in the world but no more an indicator of him moving than him saying he is gonna stay when its an outright lie.

12 million they can all do one!

Sevilla can do one. 9 mill, must have comedians for board members. Notice bleeding wrinkly head still keeping his nose under the tent flap.

Maybe he is just enjoying his honeymoon?

What price is Arteta worth? ( without blue tinted gigs on )

In todays market, we must surely be looking at £25 - 30 million. What price would you pay for Gerrard, Lampard, Fabregas, etc? Arteta doesn't have as higher a profile as those players, but his value would be at least 2/3rds of theirs I would have thought, with maybe Fabregas commanding slightly higher due toi age. The only problem is he is 28, so another team might not get a sell on fee with him.

Some good news:

His agent claims it will 'be difficult' for Arteta to leave Everton.

Mikel Arteta's agent claims it will be 'difficult' for the midfielder to leave Everton amid reports Sevilla are planning a bid.
The 28-year-old has repeatedly been tipped to return to La Liga

and speculation has linked Sevilla

with a £12million offer.
Sevilla's sale of Adriano to Barcelona

has left the club short of options in midfield and Arteta has been mooted as their prime transfer target.
However, the former Rangers

star's representative, Inaki Ibanez, cast doubt on the prospect of Arteta leaving Goodison Park

this summer.
Ibanez told the Spanish press: "Everton

are asking for a lot of money, so it is difficult for Mikel to exit the club."

Doh...this has already been put up. My bad.

Ha ha, sorry.
I've been up since 6:30 today. I saw the last bit and thought the same though. We are asking for a lot of money? City would give us a lot of money just to stick a pin in our eye.

In what way is that SSN article any different from the previous one? It's the same words with a different title... exactly what was said in the previous one which implied Seville were in for him 'but it's difficult' - sure it is at that price!!!

Recycled news.

He's on his honeymoon.

Not expecting anything till he's back.

Hopefully for all Toffees he'll be sticking with us in what is our best squad for 20 years.
