I've pretty much instilled in my life loyalty on and off the park,' said Cahill.'There's been long-term talks with Everton and for it to be executed like this I'm so proud.'It's massive for them, massive for me. A big, big moment. I'm very close to the chairman, manager, and board.'For this to go so smoothly, brilliant. It's a big decision for both of us, and for me, I couldn't be happier.'Cahill has been at Everton six years since signing from Millwall in 2004 and could have attracted other clubs offering Champions League football.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.
