Player Valuation: £20m
Probably already been mentioned on one of the billion posts, but Moyes and the agent are best buds. This was from 2008 and concerning another of his clients, Daniel Van Buyten:
Although agent Christophe Henrotay says there has been absolutely no contact with Bayern, and that he is unlikely to speak to the player about it, he insists Moyes would take the player if he had the chance.
“I know David Moyes very well, he’s a friend of mine and I know he’s looking for a centre back,†Henrotay said.
“Daniel is corresponding to the sort of player he’s looking for – an experienced, quality player to cover Joseph Yobo when he goes to the African Cup of Nations.
“We talk about it but, today, I’m not about to go to Everton with Daniel.
“Yes, it’s an idea and Daniel has not played so much at the beginning of the season as is the choice of the coach Ottmar Hitzfeld at Bayern.
“It’s a normal idea coming up from David. He knows me and knows Daniel and feels if we could have him for a while on loan it could be great but, today, I haven’t talked with Daniel about it and never with Bayern about it.
“It is a long way off but it’s a real idea. It’s no secret David would like to cover Yobo as he’s going off to Africa.
