Li Tie deal back on.

Basically the deal got held up because the players current shirt sponsors are a big rivalof our new sponsors, Keijan. Chinese football is basically run by the sponsors (or so it seems) and the deal was blocked. Everton signed someone else instead (see related articles at the bottom of the page).

Now it appears Li Tie is back in talks with the club, and as this is a private deal then the sponsors have much less influence. Hopefully a one year loan deal is on the cards.
