A big, big moment. I'm very close to the chairman, manager, and board.[LNB]'For this to go so smoothly, brilliant. It's a big decision for both of us, and for me, I couldn't be happier.'[LNB]Cahill has been at Everton six years since signing from Millwall in 2004 and could have attracted other clubs offering Champions League football.[LNB]There would have been no shortage of takers for a goalscoring midfielder who is prolific in the air, but the Australian is happy at Goodison Park and believes there is still plenty of scope for improvement.
