Rumor Central: Cahill wants Everton loan come January

There are always offseason rumors flying around the Red Bulls, but with this one there seems to be no ambiguity:


"There is no shadow of a doubt, I am eager to come back," Cahill reportedly told the Liverpool Echo about his desire to return to Everton on a short-term winter loan. "Hopefully something can be done. It would be nice but it is not down to me. I have to respect that sometimes the ship has sailed."


Cahill, one of three Designated Players on the New York roster, scored one goal in 12 regular-season and two postseason games after arriving from the Toffees, and was hobbled by a calf injury throughout. In his last 55 club games across all competitions, the 32-year-old attacker has four goals and six assists.
