Everton fail in bid for Owen

Last updated : 23 August 2005 By Austin Rathe
David Moyes revealed that the club made contact with Owen's advisors, and we're told to do a runner, although they probably used longer words.

"Unfortunately he doesn't see Everton as a team he would choose at this present time." Said Moyes.

He also revealed that we made a bid of £10m for Spurs target Dirk Kuyt on August 1st.

He added: "We offered £10m for Dirk Kuyt and that was rejected on 1 August by Feyenoord. I am trying to reassure fans I am in for most of the big names."
"We do have money to spend if the right players are available - but getting them in is the problem."
