It probably should have been posted earlier, but If you want a look at Everton and other Premier League club's 25-man squads, you can find it here. Everton named an extremely small squad of only 18 players (even though that doesn't include under-21 players). This was already threadbare, but now it seems like we are down one more.

Fenerbahce & Everton agree Joseph Yobo loan extension - Goal.com
Joseph Yobo has finally been loaned out to Fenerbahce. I think if he was willing to play, I would have much rather seen him on the squad. It seems that he was quite adamant in leaving, though.

The inside track on how Everton FC new-boys Royston Drenthe and Denis Stracqualursi - Liverpool Echo

I think this is the season for me

He [Arteta] is a great player. He's a good lad as well. He will be a miss but we've got a lot of young players who can fill in.

It is a big opportunity for me and I will do everything I can to help the team.

It is a pleasure to be here. It is a big club and I am very happy, I will fight as hard as I can to get in the team and play well.

I am a striker who plays in the penalty box. I am good at heading the ball and I am strong but I am also good with my feet. But I am here to get in the box and score goals.
