“I think I’m like anybody else in this world – there are certain things you can forgive and some things you can forget.”The loan deal means the former Norwich and Coventry striker remains a Newcastle player and could return to St James’ Park in May to serve out the remainder of his contract, although Celtic have an option to make the move permanent. “One hundred per cent I stand by everything I said,” the Scot affirmed. The veteran goalkeeper Nigel Martyn, however, is pushing for a return to the first team after Richard Wright’s less than convincing display against Sunderland in the FA Cup last weekend.. Graeme Souness said yesterday that he would have lost the respect of the Newcastle playing staff and effectively ended his managerial career had he not exiled Craig Bellamy to Celtic following the midfielder’s accusation that his manager was a “liar”. But we have obviously needed another midfield player and the way the market is at the moment – very difficult – we have done well to sign him.”As well as Arteta’s injury, Moyes has minor injury doubts over Duncan Ferguson (hip), Alan Stubbs (groin), Steve Watson (stomach muscle) and Lee Osman (knee). He did well at Rangers, so he is well aware what it is all about. He has been at Paris St-Germain [and] played for all levels of the Spanish system so there is no doubt he has plenty of ability.

Now we will take the opportunity to see if he can fit into what we do.”He can provide something similar to Thomas Gravesen, but I do not intend putting that sort of pressure on him because they are totally different players. Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, William Gallas, Arjen Robben, Paulo Ferreira, Tiago and Claude Makelele will all return.. The Everton manager David Moyes has challenged his squad to make sure all their hard work so far this season does not go to waste. Everton, in fourth place in the Premiership, are on course for Champions’ League qualification and take on struggling Norwich at Goodison Park tonight.

“We are looking at the top teams and trying to catch them rather than looking at the teams behind us. Our job is to try to overtake Manchester United; we must be aiming to catch them. We are continuing to look forward and at the teams above us.”Moyes fought hard during the past month’s transfer window to bring in players who can secure that coveted fourth place in the table. The on-loan Spaniard Mikel Arteta is the latest arrival, although a knee injury will stop the former Barcelona player facing the Canaries.

Moyes has also signed James Beattie and the French youngster Guillaume Plessis, but missed out on Tottenham’s winger Simon Davies and a couple of other major targets.”There were others,” he said. “We made a bid for Simon Davies but that is all I want to say about the window now it is shut. We have to go with what we have got and I believe we are still set for a great season.”Moyes sees Arteta, the former Rangers midfielder, as a key acquisition for the final months of the season.”Mikel is young, had a good spell at Rangers and was a firm favourite there,” he said. “They sold him reluctantly to his hometown team at Real Sociedad. That hasn’t worked for him and we have done well to get him on loan so that both sides can see whether we like each other and the fans can see what he can do. At the end of the season we will all be able to make our minds up about the future.”He has a grasp of the football expected here. That’s not to suggest he will not be around for a very long time because we’re confident about the funding.”Mourinho will restore his rested first-choice players to duty at Blackburn tonight.

The manager has a full squad with the exceptions of Scott Parker (broken foot), Ricardo Carvalho (broken toe) and Robert Huth (knee ligaments). “We’ve made a significant loss but there’s a real commitment to get this business back on stream.”In five years’ time we will not make losses and we will be self-financing and less reliant on the owner. The rules are quite clear and it is not as clouded or non-transparent as people would make out.”They [agents] are a necessary evil at times, but we are in an environment where people want representation, and they have a role to play.”Player purchases and wages contributed to Chelsea’s £88m loss this year, but Kenyon is looking for long-term stability and is confident that Roman Abramovich’s financial backing will continue.”I spend a lot of time with him and he’s a big supporter,” Kenyon added. “All the money we’re involved with in a transfer is transparent, the Football Association know exactly where it is. We don’t want to debate it any further because that is club policy.”Kenyon insisted that transfer negotiations are conducted properly, and went on to defend the role of players’ agents.”Football rules today,” Kenyon said. We’re not going to add to the speculation, you’ll never end it We can’t just knock back every story.
