Arteta To Miss Six Months

kai gilbertcomon phil and tim rally the troops on

kai gilbertoh,i totally agree with mr.neasham although he is a plymouth argyle supporter

paul jenningsarteta is the playmaker of everton as he has shown in the past with his perfect free kicks and corners but he has missed games before i think we will just about manage without him

Iain ToomerAll the best to you Mikel. You'll be sorely missed for the rest of this season, but we all have every faith in Misters Rodwell and Gosling to help us to lift the FA Cup and into Europe next season. Rest and recuperate (but don't forget to book your Wembly ticket) and come back to your brilliant best next season.

Katie FlanaganArteta will be missed by not just the fans but the team, he is one of our only players with creativity on the ball, Also he has just got back to his best so hes most likely gutted aswell. Hopefully he wont be out any longer than 6 months, being one of our best players this season. The rest of the team just need to show were not a one man squad like the Kopites. COYB. X

Sarah DaviesI hope you get better soon x youve given us a great season so far ... We are really upset your out for the rest of the season x We will all mis you x I am already looking forward to your return in 6 months x I felt really sorry for you when you stayed down on the floor you looked in so much pain ... i hope your not now x I thought yo were going to score in that match x Your my favourite player .. i have 2 Arteta tops & a scarf with you on it !! x Get well soon x Come On Arteta xxx Sarah xx

mohd osmanit must be the great Dr Ramon Cougat,look at Eto'o(Top goalscorer La Liga) and Xavi(Euro Player of the tournament 2008),back to playing superbly after their injuries.if Pires and Edu can come back after 2 ACL, so can you Mikel.Class is permanent,put the doubts away and work towards rehab.2009/2010 will be your best season,cheers!!!!!(i've had an ACL done too in 2006,back to scoring goals again after 8 months!)

Robin DaviesIf anyone from the club reads these then please pass them on to "the best little spaniard we know" get well soon mikel were all thinking of you. The rest of the lads need to prove that we are NOT a one man show....come on lads keep your chin up...COYB IN MOYES WE TRUST

kurt tonzingThis is probably the worst thing that could of happened. Our best player at the moment and probably all season is gone.... All the players need to step up a level in his absence. I believe they can. COYB!

James WilkinsonI am DEVASTATED!, this is probably the worst news possible, but now we can give rodwell or any other fringe player a chance to shine,and i doubt moyes will choose wisely, c'mon arteta one step back to go two steps forward, so next season u will be back as good as ever and earn that spanish call up u deserve so badly!

Allan LaursenWhat a blow, i couldn`t sleep last night just thinking our season is game over.. So sad that our creater is away.. We have been so fantastic on freekicks and corners this season, cause off Arteta the best little Spaniard I know. Get well SOON lad, wish you all the best. Wish we had a bigger squad now:-( Steep up COYB

chris perryabsolutely gutted mikel is out for rest of season he,s been our rock in the centre of midfield this season but i,m sure hell come back even better and more determind to prove why hes the best little spaniard we know GET WELL SOON MIKEL!!!!!!!!!

Jagat Satyalcome on Mikel -be stronger and come .we are waiting for you. peace

Ian WilkinsonI agree with Anthony King, so gutted for him especially if we get to Wembley as it meant so much to him. The other lads must pull together and finish strong for Mikel so all the work done so far wasn't wasted. Keep your spirits up Mikel you are much loved and will be well missed. Get well soon.

alexis leungGet well soon, Arteta and Vic. Lesson to learn : be very careful with extremely frustrated opponents.

colin campbellCome back faster, fitter and stronger for next season. Chin up lad just remember that next season we will have a full, fit squad that can win the EPL!! All the best Milkel thanks for a great season! COYB

Callum* Greenall*What Everton have money cant buy, and its what we have that will bring the FA Cup to Goodison. Pride, Passion, And Belief.. We all wish you fast recovery Mikel.

Anthony Kingproper gutted about arteta and also feel sorry for the lad hes a great player and now if we get to wembley and even better get to the final the poor lad will miss out, mikel must be gutted, anyway get fit fo next season mikel and come back stronger. ''nobody better than mikel arteta hes the best lil spaniard we know'' get well soon lad!!!!!!!

Sean CampbellAh no, I feared the worst and now it's reality. We've done so well with a small squad so far so lets keep it up and go for the cup and Europe! Get well soon Mikel!

Stig Andre KarlsenIt´s a shame to loose Arteta. He has been a real influence this season, and now we lack the creativity in midfield. This is the time to let Van der Meyde shine!!!!!! He has the flair and creativity that we need!! Come on Moyes, please let him play some more. In Moyes we trust, in Moyes we love.

James OwensGet well soon mikel, your a fantastic player and you will come back even better than before. COYB!!!!! lets do it for mike Vic an all the other injured STARS!!!!!!

Thomas McCarteni would rather play 1 of the girls out of the ticket office than van de meyde.

Russell Fostergreat player will be missed but its not all doom and gloom take nothing away from the other players we are still and will be the best team outside the top 4

JOHN CUPITgutted , absolutley devastated he was in a tremendous run of form the team spirit will pull us through not sure about castillo yet dont know if he looks the part or not

David McBrideKeep your Head up Mikky, gutted for you lad.Hopefully you'll come back stronger, physically & mentally. COYB

Jan KeepingTHIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS SO SORRY FOR YOU MIKEL COULDNT OF COME AT A WORSE TIME FOR YOU AND US. GET WELL SOON MIKEL THE BEST LITTLE SPANIARD I KNOW X X

Vincent Lutman-AllanLets go and win the FA Cup and qualify for Europa Cup for Mikel. Sumthing for him to look forward to next season

Andy PottsOne day after the Newcastle game I am sitting at home feeling really down after Mikel's injury. This could be a defining moment in our season. Firstly - Get well soon Mikel. Secondly - I hope all the other boys will step up to the mark and bust a gut to keep the Mighty Blues in the hunt for the greatness we deserve. Thirdly - Nolan, you should be ashamed of yourself, I know you are a kopite - but that tackle was a total disgrace. All as I can say is I hope no-one ever does a tackle on you like that. I send my very best wishes to all at Everton and also all supporters!! COYB's

Derek YatesI feared the worst. Just our luck again to lose such a very valuble player. Perhaps this is the chance for AVM or Castillo to really show what they can do. Keep your chin up Mikel we'll all be thinking about you and I'm sure the team will do their utmost best for us all especially for you. All the best to you Mikel. COYB you can do it!!!!!!!!

matt searleabsolutely gutted just about sums up our luck this season with injuries just hope n pray everyone else stays fit n we can lift the fa cup for mikel, get well soon....

simon conleyNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! i blame the linesman for mikels injury, he did his knee in challenging for a ball from a newcastle throw in ,when cleary the ball came off a newcastle man so it was an evertons throw, how many times have officials decisions totally changed the outcome of a game this season its shocking and something needs to be done to combat this, get well some mikel look forward to watching ya next season, im sure the rest of the lads will have ya playing in europe

lee childsdam lets hope gets well soon andwe dont get any more ingeries make sure phil jags saha fellnni stay fit to play

Alex WigmoreOh dear! one of our best players out for 6 months :( Get well Soon Mikel! the Team and fans will support you all the way!

PAUL DURCANsending you our best wishes mikel. it is tragic for this to happen to you and for everton although im sure the boys will give their all as they have been doing. COYBB.

ray pendleton12 league games and three cup games to the end of the season without our midfield creator we may find the going tough bit the boys have proved already this season that when they are asked to find that little bit extra they have always come up trumps, now more than ever we need everyone to play their part, players and supporters together.show the goodison spirit C.O.Y.B.

Deborah AppletonI am absoulutely devastated about Mikel. He is our best midfielder and such a wonderful player. You could see the change in our midfield without him. I love him to bits he has been my favourite player since we signed him. I hope it is not the full 6 months but don't want to rush him back. I know he will be gutted and very down in himself because he loves to play. Your are my hero Mikey please get well soon. Besos y abrazos xx

Peter MarrSo gutted guess we will just after win the Fa cup for mikel and the yak keep your chins up lads the boys will do us proud and come back next season stronger than before get well soon mikel and the yak.

Neil HarrisThis is awful, get well soon Mikel the Magician, you will be a huge loss to the team, we will all miss deeing you for so long!!

Stu FieldDreadful news! Having had the same injury myself I know how painful it is and how hard the rehab is. Best wishes Mikel, looking forward to seeing you back soon!

jack smithmikey ur ma favourite player were gonaa miss u 4 da 6 months ur gona b owt but i wish u a sppedy recovery get well soon nwel see u next season m8

Christine HopeOh no !!!!!! missing him already and the lads definitely will.....i always said that if Mikel didnt perform the team doesnt perform, i so hope i am proved wrong, we are not a one man team but Mikel is very very special....so come on lads lets get on with the job in hand - you know you can do it.....and best wishes Mikel ....thinking of you......hurry back......COYBB

Chris J Haslamgood luck with the surgery Mikel ...... Phil rally the blues it is not over yet all still to play for COYB

Mike CoughlanVery dissapointed for mikel, he's a class player and act. But if any team has shown adversity this year it has been Everton, So chin up lads and lassie's, we still have the mighty Cahill and Moyes.

Shaun Chesworthget well soon Mikel lets hope your not missed to much now we need VDM to step up and prove his worth he owes us that and his cammeos this season have impressed so lets give him a run and who knows europe will be a cert

Daniel RobertsAbsolutly Gutted, We will have to triumph in the F.A Cup this will cheer him. But we need Saha to stay fit so cahill can play mid!

Damon MurphyGet well soon Mikel, the best little Spaniard I know.

Dvir CaspiNo!!! =(

Jordan Neashamthis is terrible news. yakubu out for season now mikel our most creative midfielder. with the fa cup coming up now and our push on the top 4 or 5 in the league, it might be looking like all our hard work and fantastic team spirit might not be enough to last us through the season. we must still have hope that we can do it but i feel players like tim and phil need to rally the troops for one final push. the young kids might get more chances now though so not all bad. gosling and rodwell now are key with such a thin squad with all these injuries. our thoughts are with you mikel. speedy recovery mate!

David WhiteGet well soon Mikel, u are an inspiration to watch:) I think it is now time to give Andy VDM a run as an attacking midfielder... from two of his last minute run on performances... we have scored 2 goals direct from his crosses... Got nothing to lose:) COYB

Bryn RobertsMikel you have been a revelation mate, please return fighting fit for next season. Hopefully you will be stronger and as fit as ever, You will be missed but the guys will give 100% as they will be thinking of you i,m sure. rest easy mate.

Regardless he will obviously be missed. Now, though, is the time for our fringe players (Castillo and VDM) to step up and show what they can do. Their challenge is to make us not miss Mikel Arteta!!!Not easy...but be good if they can do it!

Jack Williamsget well soon mikel, you will always be my favourite player!

Thomas McCartenthis is devastateing news, to have not 1 but 2 of your top players rueled out in the same season, is unbeliveable, we all wish mikel a speedy comeback, i just hope all the lads hardwork this season does,nt result in nothing, i feel the run of games we have been on lately is alot to ask from such a young threadbare squad, and we run the risk of running out of gas, especially with our mounting injuries.

GRAEME WHARTONThis injury could not have come at a worse time, the cup coming up and our final push for a champions leage spot,that has probably gone now,but we have to believe we can still make it,again lack of numbers will tell against us,We all feel for Mikel and already anticipate his return next season and wish him well, in the mean time phil needs to rally the team for a final push we deserve to finish in a European spot at the least.

Maria ClarkeHope our messages are getting through to you Mikel, rest easy mate!
