DAVID MOYES paid Nuno Valente the ultimate compliment as he explained the decision to retain the Portuguese defender's services for another year.
Valente, who will be 34 in September, is currently the oldest member of Everton's playing staff and has been restricted to just 58 appearances since his £1.4m move from FC Porto in August 2005, due to a number of fitness problems.
The Blues' boss, though, had no hesitation in offering Valente a 12-month contract extension at the end of last season as Moyes believes the left-back is the "best" professional he has ever signed from overseas and can continue to make his presence felt in the squad.
