Transfer Deadline

So finally, Moyes promise of bringing five to six players has come true. The fourth player to join Everton is our current record breaker Marouane Felliani. It's claimed that the club has been tracking him for the past two years and Felliani's stock has sky-rocketed and now he has cost Everton 15 million pounds. There're two fronts on how Felliani will handle the Premiership:- Learn the physical way of handling the defenders, or sink. I hope that we have not purchased him on impluse because of Moyes's promise to bring in players.

The fifth signing is ex-Wigan shot stoppoer Carlo Nash. Nothing to crow about, but he's brought in as a cover to Howard and guess what, he's been given the No. 1 jersey. But is he really No. 1?

So all in all here're the make-up of the new players:- A perpectually injured striker, a second rated goalkeeper, a free transfer defender, a south american so-so midfielder and a 15 million pound youth.

So will Everton compete in the top five at the end of this season. With much luck. I hope I'm proven wrong. I really hope I am.
