(Photo: Offside / Presse Sports) (D.R) "You are no longer appeared as Everton jersey since 6 January (against West Ham in Cup, 1-1). What's happening? On 2 February, I went to see the coach (Roberto Martinez) compared to the proposal of West Ham, who offered me a transfer until the end of the season. The next day, at a press conference, he said he was counting on me, that I was part of the team. But since that day, I have not been called once. You he gave an explanation? No, I have no idea. Ask her. We have spoken for. There are many things that get lost in football and you hope that there is still a modicum of respect. But hey, it's been twenty years since I played at the top level so I take taste to weekends with the family. I keep morale. "If he believes he (Roberto Martinez) does not have to explain it to me ..." The situation is still not ideal ... It is not pleasant. When a coach decides you are no longer in the band ... We must accept. What do you do? Go kick his wear and cry, ask "why"? If he feels he does not have to explain it to me after six years at the club, that's his choice. Do not play, it's not a problem. I am 37 years old. Okay, I gave. I must have almost 500 matches in England (475 in all competitions). It is the fact of not letting me be competitive. This is the only thing left me a little craw. After that, I have no problem with the club or the players. What does your daily since? I train, I do my extra session in the afternoon as I have always done. I will play with the U21. They run like rabbits! It allows me to keep in shape. Finally, when you let me play ... That is to say? Apparently, he (Martinez) wants to see young people play. "Not been hooking" The English press reported a collision early in the season. No. There was no collision. You would have been banned as a training center for a week ... I just had a forced rest of the week. But it is not shelved. "I would have liked to finish Everton" Do you pay your age (37 years)? I do not know. I do not think so. If they tell me they want to prepare the future, no problem. This is something that can be understood when we explained ... I was told nothing. If one day I was told that I'm slow, we put all the central defenders on a line and we see ... There is no problem. You are out of contract. Under these conditions, can you stop your career at the end of the season? Hang Up? Oh no. If you saw the weeks of training I type me to compensate for my lack of competition, you would see that I did not want to hang up! If I can find a club where I feel good. I have no limit. A shame as I would have liked to finish my career at Everton. But in football, we do not always do what we want. " But there has been no bust up!
