Louis Saha is expected to finalise a move to Everton today after being allowed to leave Manchester United for no initial fee. The 30-year-old France forward will move for an undisclosed fee based on appearances and sign a two-year contract, with the option of a third year, if he passes his medical, which is scheduled to take place this morning.
United paid £12.8 million to sign Saha when he arrived from Fulham in January 2004 and he signed a new four-year deal worth £65,000 a week in 2006. But the Barclays Premier League and Champions League holders have moved the injury-ravaged player on without demanding a fee from Everton until he has played for his new club.
David Moyes, the Everton manager, believes that Saha is well worth a gamble. “Louis is a good centre forward who has a bit of everything,” Moyes said. “He can run, head the ball and score goals and he hasn’t cost us any money.
“There will be some money after he’s played some games, but there is no initial outlay and he has to play before we pay. He has had his injury problems, but if he had been playing every game, we wouldn’t be getting him for next to nothing.
“If you speak to people who have worked with him, they will tell you he is a top centre forward. What we need to do is get him out there, because he is fantastically talented and, if we can get him involved a bit more than he was at United last season, he will certainly play his part for us.
“He has had no pre-season games, so there is no estimate yet as to when he may play, but as far as I know, he is in pretty good nick. The thing is that your body misses the contact and rigours of playing games regularly. If you are not used to that, you get concerns about them and you wonder whether they will be able to take the contact from challenges. We can’t tell that \ until he has played in some games.”
Moyes has yet to make a big summer signing and he admitted that the sight of Manchester City and Aston Villa completing multimillion-pound deals respectively for Shaun Wright-Phillips and James Milner, both of whom were pursued by Moyes, has left him “depressed”.
With the transfer window due to close on Monday, Moyes aims to add to his squad, but he is realistic about his club’s spending power. “I hope that there could be more signings and I would like to bring some more in, but we told \ that we didn’t have much money to spend,” he said.

A great player when fit but sadly that was a rare thing at Manchester Utd. Now that he is apparently being taken on "a pay as you play basis" bet he manages to get himself on the field near enough every week now. Oh the irony if that happens!

True his injury record is poor but Saha is an outstanding and hugely underrated player. He virtually beat Manchester United on his own for Fulham leading to his transfer. At United he has come on late in games against Chelsea and Arsenal to seal the games. As good as Andy Cole. Good luck at Everton
