The Mail Bag
Moon could have been the answer

During the January transfer window, Bryce Moon speculated that he would love to join Everton, but that fell on deaf ears. This player was earmarked to be the next best modern defender. As usual he wasn't good enough to be a Toffee. At the time he played for Ajax Cape Town (Pienaar's old club) and would have costed us less than 1 million pounds.
This player was one of the best attacking defenders during the AFCON in Ghana. Panathinaikos signed him from Ajax Cape Town, now the player is playing the best football ever in the Champions League. This was the only player José Mourinho's side had problems with last night.
It looks like two of the "big Sky four" are rumoured to make a January swoop for this player. Why do we always miss out on great players and stick to the Nevilles?

We can’t buy every player that turns out to be the next big hit. We were never seriously linked with the lad, he only loosely stated he wanted to join us but so did Nugent and so do I. You don’t see the two of us setting the world alight, now do you?
And at that time we needed midfielders and maybe an attacker. To spend money on a defender that would be away to the AFCON immediately wasn’t really the priority?
Don’t get me wrong, what I saw of the lad (very little to be honest) looks promising and I would have liked him here, but to act like our scouting department or Moyes has made a huge error on this subject is very far fetched.
