Everton under no pressure to sell

Michael Kenrick , 6 January, 2comments | Jump to most recent

David Moyes has assured Everton fans he won't be forced to cash in on his top assets this month despite the club announcing more big losses.

Moyes said: “I don't really study the figures because it's not my department. I just know that we sold players last year, but there's not that kind of pressure this time.

“We only sold Jack Rodwell recently and last season we sold Mikel Arteta, so we have already raised some money.

“We have got a small amount of money I could use this month, but it's only enough to get me a loan deal. Last January we had to sell to bring players in, but I'm not planning to sell anyone this time.”

It's alright Moyes saying this but has he told the Everton Board of Directors?

So long as he's given the money raised, or the vast majority of it, he has in the past used it to improve the overall squad. The trick is getting the best moment to liquidate the asset, then having the right targets lined up. I was sorry to see Arteta and Rodwell go but Jelavic, Gibson, Pienaar and Mirallas was not a bad swap (not convinced about Naismith).

If we got £30M for Fellaini from one of the very rich clubs, that could go a long way to building the squad strength we need.
