Everton have signed Phil Neville in a deal worth somewhere between £3m and £4m. What's £1m between mates hey?

The 28 year old "versatile" player has signed a 5 year contract, committing much of the rest of his career to Everton. The deal was done very quickly with negotiations only beginning in earnest yesterday (or so I'm told).

“David Moyes was the first manager that contacted my father after I was given permission to speak to other clubs and from day one this was the move that interested me most. " Neville said

“I have come to the decision to sign for Everton and it was an easy decision as they desperately wanted me to sign. I have had 18 great years at United but to be honest I am just excited about playing for Everton now. I have come to terms with the fact I am leaving Man United. "
