Everton have completed their only signing of the January transfer window, with 18 year-old right back John Stones arriving from Barnsley in a deal that could eventually be worth 3m to the Championship club. A reported move for Alvaro Negredo was scuppered early by Sevilla's 20m asking price and the only other deal of the day was the loan move for Magaye Gueye to Brest in France.
Leon Osman has been called up to the England squad for a second time as reward for his form for Everton and his impressive international debut against Sweden last November. Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines are also included.

Everton won on home turf for the first time in 2013 but they had to survive a nervy last half hour after shocking defending by Heitinga had gifted West Brom a way back into the game at 2-1. The Blues had led comfortably at the break from two Baines goals, the first a beautiful strike from 18 yards, the second a typically confident penalty after Yakob had felled Anichebe. Dorrans rattled the bar and Osman somehow missed a virtually open goal to make it safe late on but the defence eventually held on to secure three welcome points.

Everton's deal to bring for Leroy Fer to the Premier League from FC Twente is off after the Dutch club rejected a modified payment structure for the 23-year-old midfielder.

Everton have announced that Academy striker Anton Forrester has joined Blackburn Rovers on a free transfer following a successful trial with the Championship club.
David Moyes has dismissed out of hand suggestions that the proposed deal to bring Leroy Fer in from FC Twente is not because the Dutchman has been earmarked as Marouane Fellaini's successor at Goodison Park.
Leroy Fer's proposed transfer from FC Twente is on ice this evening after the Eredivisie club refused to accept restructured terms for the 8.6m deal agreed over the weekend. Everton are concerned by the results of scans on the 23 year-old's knee following the injury he suffered in September and are looking to make the bulk of the fee dependent on appearances, which the Dutch club say they cannot agree to.
After the player's agent announced that he and his client were in talks about a possible move from Borussia Moenchengladbach to Everton, Igor de Camargo has joined Hoffenheim on loan.
Its a very nice step to move to the Premier League. My qualities can be fully expressed there. Im a box-to-box player so that fits in England.
Everton is a good club who always fights for the European spots. They have always been a good club to join and they came faster than I expected because I only expected to go in the summer at the earliest.
I have looked at the players in the squad and love the way they play. Everton are in the top five and have a real chance of playing in Europe next season.
From when I was a young boy, I always wanted to play in the Premier League. The fact I am going to do it with one of the biggest teams in the Premier League makes this move even more special.

Two home games in the space of four days offer Everton the ideal opportunity to further press their claims for a top-four finish if they can claim maximum points, starting with the visit of West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday evening. Mirallas and Gibson are close to fitness according to Moyes but Coleman's thigh injury will sideline him for another fortnight. KO is 7.45pm.
Described by sports minister Hugh Robertson as "the worst governed sport in this country," English football has come under attack from a parliamentary report that criticises the game's failure to introduce new financial controls and increase the influence of fans.

David Moyes has backed up his intention not to sell any of his players before the transfer deadline by insisting that he can't afford to let John Heitinga go because of a lack of central defensive options.
Former Everton midfielder Jose Baxter played a crucial role in his Oldham Athletic side beating Liverpool 3 - 2 in the fourth Round of the FA Cup this afternoon. And the draw for the 5th Round of the famous old competition, taking place just minutes after the end of that thrilling game, threw up an another fascinating tie for the Latics, Everton now having to visit Boundary Park next month.
Everton captain Phil Neville's loyalty to manager David Moyes came to the fore at the climactic end of the Blues' FA Cup tie at Bolton in a spur-of-the-moment dressing down of those traveling fans who had booed the decision to replace Nikica Jelavic with eventual goal-scoring hero John Heitinga.
Everton's dramatic, late victory at Bolton was tarnished by another injury setback for Kevin Mirallas who was withdrawn after just 17 minutes with what appeared to be a recurrence of his hamstring injury.

Updated: Bolton Wanderers' ground staff waged an all-night battle against snow to clear the Reebok Stadium pitch so the FA Cup tie with Everton will rest on conditions on the roads and pavements outside the ground.
David Moyes has said he is torn over whether to rest Nikica Jelavic or give the out-of-form Everton striker another opportunity to "change his world" at Bolton Wanderers.
A dramatic, last-minute Heitinga strike sent Everton into the Fifth Round at the Reebok providing vindication for Moyes's unpopular decision to replace Jelavic with the Dutch defender late on. After going ahead in fortuitous fashion when Anichebe's 18th-minute shot ricocheted off Pienaar and in, the Blues were pegged back in fairly short order by Sordell's equaliser. Though they improved after half-time, Everton looked set for a replay until Heitinga rammed home from a 90th-minute corner to win it.
Should weather conditions and the state of both the Reebok Stadium and its surroundings permit, Everton will take the next step along the road to Wembley today as they take on Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup Fourth Round on Saturday afternoon.

David Moyes was interviewed for the job of Saints manager in the summer of 2001, shortly after caretaker boss Stuart Gray and assistant Dennis Rofe had ended the 2000-01 season in temporary charge.
Everton survived a dreadful first-half performance that saw Lambert hit the post and the ball twice scrambled off the Blues' goal-line but ended up battling through a second-successive goalless draw.

KO is 8pm with live coverage on Sky Sports

"When I was out in the summer I thought maybe I'd played my last game already. Now I'm back at a very, very good level in the Premier League, playing for a huge club and it's so enjoyable. I'm over it now and I don't want to look back really. It happens and I think most players go through it."

Creating the most chances of any Premier League player this season, much has been made of Leighton Baines attacking prowess. Saturdays 0-0 draw against Swansea highlighted his creative talents with the visitors employing an extra right back in a bid to halt his forays forward. In fairness to Michael Laudrup, the plan worked to an extent with Baines not quite at his best.
This was a frustrating afternoon for the Toffeemen against a stubborn, compact opponent. Our best chances where from crosses when we could use our aerial advantage, but sadly our finishing was not at its best.
Evertons comparison to the halcyon days of the labour movement is tellingly apt because, whilst other clubs are frantically dismantling their connections to the past, Everton make it a matter of honour to retain their sense of identity and continue to acknowledge those that have gone before.

There has been a lot of media publicity this week talking up Leon Osman's 10th anniversary of his debut game, coming on as a 91st-minute sub the end of a 4 - 3 loss at Spurs on 12 January 2003.

Michael Cox argues that "Baines has the technical ability to play for any English club, but Everton is his perfect match - nowhere else would he be, statistically, the most creative player in the league."
KEOIC's reaction to the release of Everton's accounts for 2011-12 is typically scathing.
In the Annual Accounts released today, Everton have reported a 9.1M loss for the 2011-12 season, an increase of 3.7M from the previous season's net loss. Everton's wage bill increased from 58M in 2010-11 to 63.4M last season, making it 75% 79% of the club's turnover. Turnover was down slightly from 82M to 80.5M.

Everton came back from conceding a sloppy early goal to take all three points thanks to substitute Anichebe's winner on the hour mark. With Ba in talks at Chelsea, Cisse capitalised on poor defending to loop a header home after just 72 seconds but Baines rifled a stunning 30-yard free kick past the impressive Krul to make it 1-1 at half time. A top-drawer move won it, though, when Jelavic collected Fellaini's pass and squared it for Anichebe to convert with his first touch. The Blues back on track!
The key might be who wants victory most. Everton, currently five points behind Chelsea, cannot afford to drop points if they are to stay in the hunt for Champions League football, while Newcastle find themselves two points above the relegation zone.
The first game of 2013, and a big boost for Everton will be the return of Marouane Fellaini on the completion of his three-match ban for headbutting Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross last month.

David Moyes appears to be using the confluence of a number of factors to his advantage as he seeks backing for his burning ambition to take Everton into the Champions League this season. The manager has reportedly requested that the Board of directors make some of the extra 20m the Club will receive starting next season from the new TV rights deals available for player reinforcements this month.
It seems journalists never tire of finding different ways to have David Moyes say basically the same thing when it comes to the January transfer window: no big signings, coz there's very little money... perhaps enough for some loan deals.
David Moyes talked about breaking up the Baines-Pienaar combo for the Chelsea game: "I dont want it to become predictable about Pienaar and Baines down the left and I felt it was right we changed it and I think Pienaarcan do a job for us there [in a more central position, behind the main striker]."
Sir Alex Ferguson insists he will not be retiring any time soon despite having turned 71, leaving suggestions that David Moyes will be named as his successor in the summer a little premature to say the least...
Signing Pienaar and Jelavic. That's it.
Marouane Fellaini has admitted he wants to go higher in football but says he is committed to honouring his deal with Everton if the club want him to stay. "I want to go higher in football but I have a contract with Everton until 2016 and, if they want me to, I will see it out to the end," said the Belgian.
