Everton squad confirmed
21 players over 21, includes 8 Homegrown
As expected, Everton are in pretty good shape regarding the new rules limiting squad size in the Premier League. The Club have submitted their named squad of players for the next portion of the new season, with 21 players over the age of 21 on 1 January 2010, of whom nine qualify as Homegrown. They also list seven "eligible" players under 21, including Rodwell, Silva and Gueye, although any of the Academy players under 21 can be added to the squad.1 Sep ·
Yobo's loan move confirmed
Joseph Yobo has completed his move to Turkish side Fenerbahce on a season-long loan. The deal, which includes the option to make the transfer permanent next summer, went through ahead of the closure of the Turkish transfer window after the 29-year-old Nigerian captain agreed terms and passed a medical. Yobo, who joined Everton from Marseille in 2002, has not played for the first team this season.1 Sep ·
Yobo exit the only deadline-day move
Nigerian joins Fenerbahce on loan
The transfer window closed at 6pm this evening with the usual flurry of rumours but no apparent action at Goodison Park apart from the departure of David Moyes's first signing as Everton boss, Joseph Yobo. The Nigerian is set to join Fenerbahçe on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent transfer but it looks as though Steven Pienaar will see out his contract after rumoured late offers by Tottenham involving various combinations of Robbie Keane and David Bentley for the South African and Louis Saha came to nothing. Meanwhile, a late swoop for Grafite of Wolfsburg was mooted, but unconfirmed reports suggest the loan move collapsed over personal terms.31 Aug ·
