Saha wants Everton Stay
|
|
Louis Saha says he does not want to leave Everton despite interest from Turkish side Besiktas.
The 30-year-old France striker has endured another injury-hit campaign and Besiktas revealed this week that they were hoping to tempt the player away from Goodison Park.
However, Saha feels that he owes David Moyes a debt after he brought him to the club from Manchester United last summer and he says has no intention of moving on.
“I haven’t been contacted by anyone,” he told the French media.
“I want to repay Everton and David Moyes for giving me my chance.
“Unless he decides to sell me, I cannot see myself leaving.”

Saha Wants to Prove Himself
|
|
Everton striker Louis Saha has affirmed that he is keen to produce more of the high-quality displays of which he knows he is capable, after another frustrating season spent battling injury.
The Frenchman recently returned from a two-and-a-half month lay-off with a hamstring injury, and, although he flashed signs of his form flickering to life in the eight substitute appearances and three starts he has made since his comeback, he is aware that the supporters are still waiting for him to blossom in a blue shirt.
"I do think that I can give a lot, lot more," the former Manchester United man told the Toffees' official website.
"It's been a season with a bit of frustration, but I've managed to feature in most games so I am happy with it. But as a striker we want more goals and more assists, and that's what I'm looking for."

Saha Finally Fit
|
|
Louis Saha has been out for action for Everton since being stretchered off during the Toffees' 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur back in November.
However, The Liverpool Echo is today reporting that the Frenchman, who moved across Lancashire from Manchester United in the summer, could be ready to make his return, and has pencilled in this weekend's FA Cup fifth round tie with Aston Villa as a potential date for his comeback.
Saha had initially hoped that his lay-off would be for a mere two to three weeks. However, further scans revealed some serious damage to the muscle, and his rehabilitation time stretched into months.

Saha: Starting to Score
|
|
Striker Louis Saha believes he is beginning to show Everton signs of the form he is capable of.
The 30-year-old French international scored his first goal for Everton in their 1-0 win against Fulham at Goodison Park on Saturday.
"I'm doing a bit better, it's a bit slower then I expected but I'm still happy," Saha told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"Things are going in the right direction and that is the main thing for me."
After signing for David Moyes' men on transfer deadline day in August in a two-year pay-as-you-play deal, Saha endured a spell on the sidelines with a calf problem.

Moyes Praises Saha
|
|
Everton boss David Moyes intends to wrap striker Louis Saha in cotton wool to try to bring the best out of him this season.
Saha made an eye-catching Everton debut as a half-time substitute on Sunday, playing an influential role as the Toffees fought back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw at Hull.
Moyes said: "He made a difference to the way we played, I'm glad to get him out. I think if I had started him he would have been happy, but I felt the best way was to bring him on slowly.
"I said when we signed him if we could get him fit for at least half the games this season, I'm sure he could win us some points - that's what we're hoping for. He's gone about his work well and quietly, there's no doubt there is a very talented footballer there.
"Everybody I have spoken to has told me that and there were signs for half a game that he can offer us that.

United Suffer Liverpool loss
|
|
Sir Alex Ferguson has backed his Manchester United side to bounce back from their Premier League defeat at Liverpool.
The Red Devils only have a few days to lick their wounds following the Anfield reverse before they begin the defence of their UEFA Champions League crown. Villarreal are the visitors to Old Trafford on Wednesday night in the first match of a group phase which also features Celtic and Danish side Aalborg.
The Scot laid into his players in the wake of their weekend setback, when defensive blunders handed Liverpool both of their goals in a 2-1 triumph for Rafa Benitez's men.
But Ferguson expects his team will have already moved on by Wednesday night and has already set his sights on qualifying for the knockout phase.
"You have to recover, that's the name of the game," Ferguson said.
"It's the Champions League and I think we are in a good group and I think we have a good chance of qualifying. The way I look at the Champions League is to get to 10 points. If you get that you know you have qualified and you can look forward to February when it really starts to kick in."

Saha Sale saves £7m
|
|
Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has saved Manchester United nearly £7million in wages by letting Louis Saha leave on a free transfer.
Despite paying £12.8m for the 30 year old in January 2004, United have ripped up the final two years of the French striker's £65,000-a-week contract.
But Everton boss David Moyes insists the former Fulham hit-man can prove a hit if he ends his injury nightmare.
Moyes said: "Louis is a good centre-forward who has a bit of everything. He can run, head the ball and score goals and he has not cost us any money.
"There will be some money after he's played some games, but there is no initial outlay and he has to play before we pay. If I can get Louis out there 20 times a season, that would give us a chance of winning 20 games."
