Moyes Targets Players

David Moyes has admitted that he needs to bring in at least five new players in this year’s transfer window.

The Everton manager’s only activity so far this summer has been the permanent signing of Steven Pienaar, who was with the Blues on loan last season.

But with just over a month remaining until the window closes, Moyes knows he has a busy time ahead if he is to bring in any new additions.
 
The Goodison boss said: “We need to bring in five or six players and we haven’t brought in anybody yet.

“So we need to be quite busy and we can be in the coming weeks. But we will look to go right up to the end of the window like everyone else."

Tim Howard, Steven Pienaar, Victor Anichebe, Joseph Yobo and Yakubu are all set to return to training this week following international duty, but a number of injuries are affecting the manager’s preparations for this year’s Premier League campaign.

“We are missing bodies and we have injured players unavailable,” explained Moyes.

“I’ve been telling everybody this all summer that the numbers are short and we have injuries which may or not be fit for the start of the Premier League – everybody is aware of that.”

Significantly, one player who returned to action this weekend in the Toffees' friendly against Cambridge United was Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta - and Moyes was pleased to see the influential playmaker back on the pitch after a niggling abdominal injury.

He added: “It’s good to have him back but we can see he’s still got a bit to do yet.

“We thought if we got him 15 minutes today then it would be better for his recovery. We hope his problems are behind him now.”

alex jonesGreat to know that moyesey is trying to bring in some good players, but we shouldnt lose AJ no way!!

Richard Read5 players please. We were thin at the end of last season, have lost 5 since january. Need another centre half, holding midfielder, creative or attacking midfielder, speedy wide man and goalie. Names to consider: Hunt, Fernandes, Fletcher, SWP. Not a fan of Bentley or Lennon. Need to see some movement, start of the season is games we must look to win if we are going to build on last season. Getting a bit frustrated. 100% behind Moyes and the boys.

nick streeti think we shud make a move for bentley after all he is the new david beckham, but i trust in moyes so as long as he signs some1 good then iam happy.

Tuesday 22nd July 12:02 Report Comment

Nigel MossWe need AJ. Delighted that we have turned down the offers for him. Why on earth would he choose to go to Sunderland or Wigan or Fulham when he is a regular in a team playing in the UEFA Cup and on the up? Is it just about money?

Daz BrownI think that we shud sign some of these players who have been released by there clubs and are on a free.One player we shud get in is Jimmy Bullard he was great for fulham last season

christian butterfieldi trust moyes to do whats right but wasn t this the same scenario last summer leaving it till the last min to get players in.dig deep ken we need some more top talent

Monday 21st July 22:38 Report Comment

Ryan Edwardsfantastic to hear moyes plan, so lets put it into reality- lets get Micheal Johnson and SWP- maybe even players like Koumas. lets not sell johnson because at the moment we havent bought a single player which shows the difficulty of finding a replacement at good wage to replace Super AJ. However i trust moyes to get us great promising players before jammy clubs do (newcastle, astonvilla, spurs and pompey)

Stuart evansithink he should definetly sign rafael van der vaart from hsv we will get him cheap and he is amazing, and we need to drop phil neville now

Marko ManicI say that Moyes can find the most players from Red Star Belgrade there are many players who started in this club.

Monday 21st July 17:45 Report Comment

Dan Fostertotally agree, need to start bronging in some players to break into the top 4. one player i would like to see is Morten Gamst Pedersen, and moutinho would be another good buy. Come on moyes i have faith in you! COYB!

Monday 21st July 16:36 Report Comment

Paul Ellamsigning moutinho is not just getting a good player, its good propaganda too! it will show that we can spend big and attract the top players, which in turn will spur on other top players to join us. its the classic domino effect that occurred at chelsea in the early nineties. should still try to get arshavin and push on with the darren fletcher deal

Monday 21st July 14:22 Report Comment

Leighton ConnelyIts nice to hear that god wants 5 or 6 new players but i just want to to get moyes sighned first, its been dragging on too long now, then get the new boys in, and id like to see him in the market for wright-phillips rather than lennon.

Monday 21st July 13:07 Report Comment

Neal McAndrewExcelent we need new faces at the club. I would like to see moutinho Milito and anyone else we can afford at Goodison next season.

Monday 21st July 11:48 Report Comment

charles browni always had faith in moyes although i was gettn a bit worried at the lack of new signings. i think moutinho is a quality player and is exactly what we need. the news that we need 5 or 6 players is fantastic and cant wait 2 c who we get in the next month. 4th spot will be ours or even better COYB.
