Weir Going Nowhere

Last updated : 06 June 2005 By Kevin Markey
The 35-year-old veteran central defender had initially looked like leaving the Toffees but after more talks with the club looks set to stay at Goodison Park.

Scotland international Weir said: “We've just had a great season and I hope all of the guys who helped us finish in fourth place are around next season to enjoy it.

"Alessandro Pistone and Alan Stubbs have been linked with other teams but I hope they stay, I'd miss them.

"I'm happy to stay and sign a one-year deal instead of two because I know I'll need to keep working hard and playing well to earn another one next year. I don't want to sign for two then put my feet up.”
