Xavier last week said that he would definatly leave if Everton sacked Walter Smith, and this action, along with similar moves from other players, may well have kept Smith in his job.
"I will analyse all the possibilities, but I would like to taste a higher level than what I am at now - to play in Europe if possible. " Said Xavier.
"Being a 'Bosman' player, the other teams don't have to pay any money for me, who knows I may yet join a team in the Champions League."
