Amyone else catch his yesterday saying hes kinda sorta maybe up for staying:
“I made mistakes, but I learned a lot. I was a bit unfit and overweight.
I had personal problems and lost some family members. I was more concerned about driving two hours every weekend to Amsterdam because my mind was still there. Some of the Dortmund players couldn’t accept I came from a Holland club, too. But it was a character-building experience and I knew I had to work hard from the moment I came to Everton.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]We were having dinner and all of a sudden I was told as a new signing I would have to sing. That is how the culture is, so you have to get on with it. I sang a famous South African song – Shoshaloza – the sort Nelson Mandela would sing when he was in prison. The national team sings it, so it was in my head. They didn’t understand a word, but it helped me settle in.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I’ve always said I am happy. I’d love to stay and the fans are great. Some people say we won’t progress but we can" [/FONT]
