As the January transfer window approaches its February 3 closure, Everton has yet to secure any new signings, despite the Friedkin Group’s December 19 takeover and the reappointment of David Moyes as manager. Financial constraints have limited the club’s ability to make permanent acquisitions, leading to a focus on loan deals to strengthen the squad.

00:00Looking at Everton and David Moyes coming in, in terms of the transfer situation, obviously
00:08a bit of an interesting one, changing manager halfway through the month almost. What's your
00:14take on the current transfer situation? Are fans expecting any business in or out? We've
00:20mentioned a few times positions that might need filled but that performance against Spurs
00:25at home was absolutely fantastic. So it's sort of cut those worries out maybe for fans
00:30for now for the time being. But obviously a big run in left, they are still just hovering
00:36above the relegation zone. They need to make sure that they continue this little run and
00:41don't sort of fall back towards the bottom three.
00:44Yeah, definitely. And David Moyes said after the Tottenham game for his goals to win, whilst
00:49he wasn't getting carried away, he still knows that Everton need players through the door
00:54because Stilton scored 18 league goals in 21 games and that's the second fewest behind.
01:01And I mean, just in front of Southampton who are obviously in deep, deep trouble. A lot
01:08of supporters still want to see intact and improvements. You know, Almanzo Broge is now
01:13out for three months. Yusef Chimithy's absence as well, so that leaves two strikers. Dominic
01:19Albert-Lewin scored a great goal against Tottenham but it was his first in September.
01:25As well as Jesper Lindström did against Tottenham, he still hasn't been absolutely consistent
01:32since he arrived. In the midfield, is there enough goals in there and is there enough
01:37threat from the full-backs? So it's an interesting one because we speak to this less than two
01:42weeks now and David Moyes has said that Everton need players, elite players from the elite
01:49stadium that they're moving to. But they also need recruits coming in who are going to make
01:54an instant impact. Moyes' command said they like Ernest Neumar at Lyon but he's off the
02:03profile of a development side and he couldn't come in and go right. You're our new right
02:07winger, we're expecting five goals and five assists from you in the second half of the
02:11season. It wouldn't be fair on the lads to start with and you can't get a guarantee.
02:17It's a difficult market, Everton are working in. They have got some wiggle room with the
02:22PSR but what sort of players do they sign? Do they want development ones or do they want
02:28younger players who will give their all? I think whoever Everton sign, there's going
02:33to be one fault to them. Whether it's a younger player, whether it's an older player but maybe
02:41has a couple of injuries in the past or maybe has had a bit of an attitude problem in the
02:45past per se when it comes to who they're bringing in and decides what would be best. But yeah,
02:53the attacking players need us, maybe in midfield there and the full-back area, the left-back
02:57area is somewhere they could look at.
