Three guesses who his rumored replacement is...

Defender Sylvain Distin has signed a one-year extension that keeps him at Everton for one more year. Distin has made 115 appearances for the Blues in the three years he has been at Goodison. He will turn 35 next year.

Don't know if anybody's already seen this, but Toffeeweb has got a shot of next year's home kit (sourced from Twitter). It's a grower.

Everton want cover for Tim Howard since it looks like Jan Mucha will probably leave to look for more first team play. Giefe also may be viewed as a possible successor. I don't see us having a big shot in getting him since Bayern are also in the mix.

Looks like we may lose Baines for 4 weeks (or the rest of the season) with a hamstring tear. I guess it doesn't matter too much since we have nothing to play for. Hopefully, Baines can recover from this and it won't become an issue in the future.

We have signed another youngster, Sam Kelly. When will this all turn into some type of silverware though?

Could possibly be a Merseyside Derby and London Derby for the semi-finals.

Update: Apparently Muamba is now in stable condition. The hospital has released a statement saying he is in stable condition. Sad news out of White Hart Lane, Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapased near halftime of the Fa Cup Quarterfinal match between Bolton and Spurs. per the BBC and ESPN, Muamba received 10 minutes of CPR on the field before being transported to the hospital. Their are reports also stating he wasn't breathing as he was removed, and was still receiving CPR while being transported to the hospital. Howard Webb rightly decided to abandon the match, and make sure to keep Fabrice Muamba and his family in your thoughts and prayers

The deal will keep the American keeper at Goodison Park through 2016. Howard has been taking a bit of heat from Everton fans recently after a few shaky performances, and my initial reaction is that four years might be overkill for a 33-year-old player. Still, Howard is a good keeper so at least we're set at that position for the foreseeable future. Now can we quit buying expensive backup keepers who never play??

Not the worst draw, especially since it is at Goodison. Definitely a winnable match.
