Not sure about giving a 4yr deal to a 30yr old midfielder is good business.

I think it's brilliant business. If you want someone who personifies the Everton/Moyes way of late, it's Tim Cahill. I would think - and what I've seen on interviews and behind the scenes stuff backs it up - that he is of real importance in helping to create the team ethos and the way we've been able to play.

Everton have confirmed they are close to securing a new long-term contract with Tim Cahill.

The Aussie international has two years to run on his existing contract but Goodison chiefs have been keen to extend that deal.
The Blues are confident the 30-year-old will sign a new four year deal before the World Cup kicks-off in South Africa next month.

Chief executive Robert Elstone said: "We are at an advanced stage of negotiation with Tim and his representatives and we would be hopeful of concluding an extension to Tim's current deal and put pen to paper on a new four year contract before he departs for the World Cup."

The deal would effectively mean Cahill spending the remainder of his senior professional career at Goodison, although the player himself has made no secret over the fact he would one-day like to play in his native Australia.

The Socceroo recently celebrated his 200th start for the Blues. He has been a huge hit on Merseyside since his move from Millwall in 2004, netting 56 goals from 209 games.
He was rested for yesterday's final-day victory over Portsmouth, watching the game from the stands before turning his attention to his World Cup preparations.
 
Four years is a bit excessive for me - i can see three with an option - but in fairness its good to see the club go down the loyalty route - i think a testimonial came into the thinking offering him four years - which you have to say is sound.

A little concerned about Artetas contract if memory serves me correctly he and Super Tim Cahill signed contracts at the same time in 2007.

From the OS.

Tim Cahill has underlined his eagerness to extend his Everton contract, insisting 'I would sign here for life'.
The Aussie international is at an advanced stage of negotiations over a new four year contract which will keep him at Goodison until 2014.
The 30-year-old has been a huge hit for the Blues since his switch from Millwall in 2004, scoring 56 goals from 201 games.
And it is a love-affair he admits he does not want to end.
He told evertontv: "The chairman and the gaffer know what I think of the Club and so do the players. It is amazing!
"The chairman knows my thoughts, I will sign here for life. He knows my thoughts on what I love about this Club. I respect everyone so much and hopefully I am here for a long time."
Cahill's impressive haul of 56 goals makes him the highest career-scorer for Everton amongst the current squad and 40th in the Club's all-time list.
The Aussie's passion for the Blues has been forged on the pitch, in his relationship with the fans and the camaraderie in the dressing room.
to this day I enjoy going to training and I enjoy playing with these guys. We are very privileged and it is a massive honour."

Keep talking like that lad, and I'll bum you.
 
That's an interesting contract duration for a player in his 30's. You see the likes of Wenger have policies giving those over 30 just 1 year extensions. Moyes must clearly think Tim has it in him to carry on playing well into his mid 30's.
 

Yes.

He still had two years to go so they just made it four.

Outstanding job by Moyes and Kenwright, making sure that he'll cement his status in Everton lore.
 
im glad he signed he s a good player for us ...ye he has had a few gank games but who hasnt ?????

the chap has been played out of position and gone thru some terrible injuries but overall has come up trumps and lets not forget what we actually paid for him !!!!!!

ahhhhhh football fickleness tut tut tut
