Everton manager gutted after Fer deal falls out

Everton manager David Moyes admitted he was disappointed to see a deal for FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer fall through yesterday. Medical tests indicated a problem with the player's knee.

"He is not our player but it is right we look after the boy and it didn't work for the reasons it didn't work," said Moyes.


"The boy is a very good player and we wish him well bit on this occasion we just couldn't quite conclude the deal.


"There are lots of things connected to signing a player: it could be a contract, it could be the agent, it could be the clubs and medicals as well.


"On this occasion some of them didn't come together.


"It is very late now so I don't know if we will be doing anything."
