Yobo Go or Yobo No?

Just a couple of hours after Everton had seen off an uninterested Chelsea side to end their season on a high, on-loan defender Joseph Yobo became a cult hero at Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, scoring the goal that saw his side claim the domestic title. 67 minutes into a tricky away fixture at Sivasspor, Yobo headed in from Emre Belezoglu's corner (remember him?) to put his side 4-2 up. The match ended 4-3, a result that saw the Istanbul giants pip Trabzonspor to the Turkish Süper Lig title courtesy of the head-to-head rule.

The league triumph was Fenerbahce's first in 4 years, and came after a remarkable run in the second half of the season that saw them win 17 of their final 18 fixtures. It looks likely that Yobo will make the permanent switch this Summer, but the Guardian reports that the fee represents a stumbling block in the transfer.

When Everton agreed to loan Yobo to San Kanaryalar (the yellow canaries) last Summer, the deal included a clause that allowed Fenerbahce to sign him at the end of the season for £6 million. However, the Turkish club have tabled an offer of just £2 million for the player, who still has three years left on his Everton contract.

Yobo will almost certainly be sold this Summer but hopefully we will get closer to the £6 million asking price. With three years left on his contract, I'm sure we could sell him to another club for more than £2 million.

Anyway, I trust Moyes will get the right deal for his first Everton signing. I would also like to thank Yobo for his service at Goodison and wish him luck in his career.
