Van Persie progressing well, says Moyes |
| Van Persie progressing well, says Moyes Posted: 22 Dec 2013 04:02 AM PST The Premier League's top scorer for the past two seasons was ruled out for a month on December 13 after picking up a thigh strain. However, Moyes has now hinted the Dutchman could make his comeback ahead of schedule, although Van Persie is unlikely to feature in Thursday's match at Hull City. "Robin is progressing, he's coming on, and he is feeling quite good," Moyes told United's official website. "He had a similar injury at (former club) Arsenal on his thigh, so it is something we have to be sure about (before he returns). "It wouldn't be much good if it got repeated, so we will try to take it steady. Asked whether the Hull game would come too soon for the striker, Moyes replied: "I think it probably will be. "Obviously the medical team are controlling him, but we speak to Robin as well about how he feels and what he feels he needs to do. "We're doing everything we can to make sure he's well looked after and well treated." This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Baines is not for sale, repeats Martinez Posted: 22 Dec 2013 03:44 AM PST Baines was the subject of a rejected bid from Manchester United during the close season. With the January transfer window approaching, the 29-year-old's future is set to come under scrutiny again. However, Martinez insists Everton do not need to sell. The Spaniard told the Sunday Mirror: "If I want a player I need to match the valuation to then put the other club and the player in a situation to make a decision. "We have never been in a situation where the valuation has been matched with Leighton. "We don't want to sell Leighton. When you are in a position when you have to bring money then you are relying on what you can sell. We are not in that position. "As a club we don't need the money. We don't need to balance the books and that is a situation we wanted to have - to make football decisions, not financial decisions. "We're not in talks with him about a deal. We don't have to say it publicly but nobody is for sale." Martinez, who succeeded current United boss David Moyes at Goodison Park, has been hailed by midfielder Steven Pienaar for placing trust in Everton's players. Everton sit fifth in the Premier League having lost just once this season, and Pienaar is delighted to see Martinez's style of play reaping rewards. "This season we've been more patient. His (Martinez's) philosophy is if you keep the ball, you're not going to work as hard as the other team," said the South African. "The trust the manager has in his players is unbelievable. He wants us to go out there and dominate a game. It takes a lot of courage and hard work. To keep the ball is not only passing – you have to move, you have to be fit. "He came in and told us, 'Listen, you have to get over your fears now – just go out and enjoy the game'. "He is so positive and it carries over to the team and makes us more relaxed."
