The first impressions of Everton's proposed new stadium in Kirkby
“We have developed a very interesting design. It is a real nod to tradition with the four stands rather than the bowl design which most of the clubs have gone for recently. We have paid a lot of attention to the design in Cologne in order to create the atmosphere. Tradition and atmosphere is what we have tried to retain.” Keith Wyness
“A new stadium is a crucial part in the puzzle, it has got to be in place if we are to carry on competing. Those Evertonians that understand the long term issues we are talking about will see it as the right way forward.” Keith Wyness
Everton's James Vaughan considered giving up football after his latest injury setback.
The England Under 21 international lost almost two years of his career with a serious knee problem before regaining a place in the Everton first team last season.
But the striker suffered another blow last week when he sustained a shoulder injury in a friendly at Preston which will rule him out until November.
And team-mate Victor Anichebe admitted on learning of the extent of the injury a distraught Vaughan had considered quitting the game.
"When it happened he just wanted to give up because he was thinking 'How can this happen to me again?"' said Anichebe.
"But it is not a career-threatening injury. It is the timing (of the injury) because he was doing so well and to get put back again is tough.
"He is all right now but at first he was a bit shook up. I was completely gutted for him because he has worked so hard to get back from his previous injury and now it's another setback.
"But he has fought back before and he will do it again. He is that kind of person. I know he will come back stronger.
"He just needs everyone around him helping him and pushing him. We are close mates and so I speak to him a lot and he has calmed down a bit now and is just chilling out at the moment."
