Pretty much where he said he'd prefer to go to. Be unfair to stop him if he wanted to go back tbh. Sorely missed, but still. He's been a revelation for us since he arrived.

Nothing but speculation. Also heard that Bilbao were interested in him. If I were Moyes I wouldnt sell him, quality player
I love Arteta, he's one of my favourite players. Any other national team in the world he'd more or less walk in, he's just been unfortunate to be Spanish at a time when Spain are finding quality playmakers in the turnups of their jeans.
Sadly, Arteta's future is no longer guaranteed by BK, as revealed in press (Howard, Baines, Jags, Fellaini NOT for sale). He's prepared to gamble by letting Arteta, Rodwell, Saha, Beckford, Coleman leave the club if the right offer comes in to raise money.
No money, no signings and no hope... Everton are a club going nowhere | Mail Online
Christ. With stuff like that in the papers no wonder morale is **** on and off the field.
In other news.........Fellaini is close to agreeing new contract-expect that to be done by next year sometime. Been going on ****** long enough. Speaking of which, Arsenal are targeting Fellaini.

Such a frustrating transfer window.. which will undoubtably prove to be a frustrating season. It pains me to see all these clubs sniffing around players and making deal while we are sat scratching our heads on how to get money.
Davide Santon signing for Newcastle, what a signing! For years we have been crying out for a quality right back and we have long needed back-up for Left back if Baines gets injured. Santon plays both sides, an Italian international with CL experience costing roughly 5m.. and we can't buy him.
If this Lukaku - Stoke talk is real, why the **** aint we in for him. Questions have to be asked if we cannot afford to sign players on loan and if this is the case the board aren't telling us the full story behind the financial situation.
To be honest, our performances this season have been nothing short of dire, and without adding quality we are going to get seriously spanked this season. We are in DEEP trouble this season, we won't get relegated.. but we won't keep our top players come next summer if we don't start showing that we can compete. To add to that misery, there has been more and more indications of late that we are prepared to offload some players, this reiterated by Moyes as he again said he would prepare to sell some with every player having a price-tag.
I tell you all, its tough and hard being an Everton fan. We don't deserve our motto's. 'Nothing But The Best Is Good Enough' and 'The Peoples Club'. Neither have been expressed this season with the fans still in the dark over the clubs future.

On the plus side (the only plus side) we held on to our best players and we still have DM in charge. All we can do now is get behind the club.
Other news-looks like Yobo is staying because of the situation with the match fixing scandle, as is Yakubu. DM has said they still have a part to play in the first team-even though they intend to leave.
Liverpool also showing interest in Seamus Coleman...no. just no.

We should never sell a player to Liverpool... NEVER.
Keeping our best players is a big bonus, but even 1 fresh face would have lifted the spirit of the club. Would of brightened things with 1 exciting signing up top.
Seen on SSN that Yakubu snubbed a move to Blackburn. No idea the reason behind it, he's made it clear he wants to leave and Blacburn could give him Prem football.
Probably wants a club that won't be stuck in the duldrums of lower league mediocraty (no offense Blackburn-but you've looked shoddy at times)-which we're in danger of going soon. He may not like the style of football. Could be anything really
I've heard Yakubu may be just waiting for his contract to expire and leave on a free to some random club who's willing to match his wages, as his contract is due to end on 2012.
That said, I think I got that from The Sun, so...

Ah. The Sun. *awkaward silence*
We may aswell keep him now tbh. We need every player we can get our hands on at the moment. Never know-he may do the unexpected for us. Like score goals
Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor lol.
All I ask of him as to at least try to do his best. Once Barkley has a rest the goal scoring attempts which are on target will probably dry up. Sad, but potentially true
Hey, at least you're only playing one striker at a time. Unlike Villa with the two man central midfield and three fecking central midfielders...
I thought you had four though. Yakubu, Saha, Beckford and Anichebe? Then you've got that big scary Greek youngster, Vellios, right? Plenty for a one striker formation..
Yakubu was good some time ago for Pompey, and had a good season for Leicester (Albeit in the championship). 11 in 20 is not bad at all. If he scores a few goals (5 would be a decent number considering he's not going to get many games... hopefully) I can forgive him for being a lazy ****.
And I'm off to bed... happily dreaming of our three senior strikers and the upcoming acquisiton of Pedro León.
