HOWARD SIGNS 5 YEAR DEAL

Everton have announced that a deal has been completed with Manchester United to make Tim Howard a permanent addition to the Club's ranks.

Everton have agreed an undisclosed fee with the Old Trafford outfit for the US international goalkeeper.

Howard has committed his long-term future to the Blues with a five year deal that will run until 2012 and begins at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old arrived at Goodison last summer on a season-long loan, establishing himself as David Moyes' first choice keeper.

He has made 27 appearances for the Toffees, keeping an impressive 11 clean sheets.

Howard told evertonTV exclusively: "The Club share my ambition, that is for sure - the manager does and so do the fans.

"I was drawn to the Club for a number of reasons and the players in the dressing room are one of them."

Although the transfer window is currently shut, Premier League rules permit domestic loan deals to be made permanent outside the window.

By moving now for the goalkeeper, Everton have ensured one of the Premiership's most consistent performers will remain at Goodison for the peak years of his career.

Everton boss David Moyes told evertonfc.com: "We are delighted to have Tim Howard. He has come in this season and proved he is a good keeper and we are pleased to have secured him."

Howard has earned 16 international caps for the USA, with the most recent coming in a 2-0 victory over Mexico last week.

great news it has taken a long time but moyes has turned an old poor everton side into a decent young team with players like

Howard
lesscott
yobo
cahill
artetta
Johnson
Fernandes

whom most would get on any team in the prem

add in the work horses like carsley hibbo and neville and you have a very good side . 2 or 3 good signings and hopefully not loosing any one we should have a good side next year .

Trivia
Lescott was hit by a car at age five and almost died. This left him with the scar that he has on his forehead

He is a fine defender alright, when wolves were in the premiership he missed the entire season and they were a shambles at the back without him.

Good player alright and still potential for more. You mustn't have seen a lot of defenders Anto if you think he's the best around though.

Im lost on those two as well , im thinking steptoe might be hibbert as he is a bit scruffy and marty from shameless is howard over the touretts , if im right they are very poor attempts , at least crouch looks like a giraffe and kuyt looks like rocky dennis from the cher movie Mask .

Peter crouch and his mum go for a drink while Dirk Kuyt tries on his new denim jacket

You took your time.

**Roadend** · 19/02/2007, 2:33 PM

I had to print it off, then ponder what you could possibly mean.

**drinkfeckarse** · 20/02/2007, 7:49 AM

Most reports I've read on it have calmed down a little and are saying Bellamy threatened him with a golf club rather than hit him with it.

Not excusing him though if it's true. He must be a thick b***ocks alright to win a move to his "dream" club and then threaten his career at his "dream" club with knackerish behaviour because he can't handle his drink.
