Toffees set to release Van Der Meyde
April 30, 2009
Andy van der Meyde's agent expects the former Dutch international to be
released by Everton at the end of the season.
Andy van der Meyde: 'Spiked'
The 29-year-old forward has figured in just 24 matches for the club in his
four years at Goodison Park, the majority from the substitutes' bench.
Signed in August 2005 for ￡2m from Inter Milan, he is arguably the biggest
transfer failure of manager David Moyes' seven years at the club.
His time on Merseyside has been dogged with injuries and personal problems,
and with his contract due to expire in the summer, Everton have not offered
him new terms.
Now Van der Meyde's agent Chiel Dekker has confirmed the player is set to
leave Goodison and that he would like to find himself a new club in England.
Dekker told skysports.com: "I think Andy will be leaving Everton when his
contract expires.
"He has not been playing in the team and he is looking for a new challenge in
his career.
"He is fit and ready to play and he would prefer to stay in England with a
new club. We will wait and see what happens in the summer."
Van der Meyde once suffered club disciplinary action following an incident a
Liverpool bar when he claimed his drink had been spiked before being taken to
hospital.
He was also fined by Moyes for failing to turn up for a scheduled training
session, and was involved in a public row with the manager over his fitness.
Van der Meyde also suffered personal problems when his home was burgled, with
two cars and his pet dog being stolen. All were recovered.
His last significant first-team involvement was when he came on as a late
substitute in the FA Cup fourth round replay in January with Liverpool, and
was involved in the build-up for the winning goal scored by youngster Dan
Gosling.
Since then he has made just one substitute appearance, and is unlikely to be
involved in the FA Cup final build-up.
