'We have been working in training on a different style of play. The manager is letting me push on. Gareth Barry is sitting in there and I have to try to get back and help defensively but the manager wants to try to get more goals in my game. He is letting me off the leash a little.'The former Hamilton man has also been linked with a number of high profile moves to clubs in the top four this season, while Jamie Carragher recently told SportsJOE that he would love to see the player at Anfield. However the former Wigan player feels that his future is at Goodison Park, and hopes the club can push on for European football next season,
'I have got time on my contract here. As it stands, I am tied down just now anyway. I am happy here. Nothing has changed from day one. I love it and I am still loving life. I have not heard anything. It is news to me if a club is going to come in and buy me in the summer. I have not spoken to anyone. I have not heard anything. The media has done a few stories but I am delighted to be here and I have many years still to come.' 'It has been a very frustrating campaign for myself. Each and every one of us wants to get better and hopefully we can kick on. We want to finish this season on a high and next season we need to go again. We want to be pushing for European places, Champions League places, we want to have a go again.'
