Roy Skillen 1Moyes Needs a New Striker
December 1st 2008 09:16
Everton manager David Moyes is looking to strengthen his forward line in the January transfer window after striker Yakbu ruptured his achilles tendon during Evertons 1-0 victory on Tottenham Hotspur. But his injury is not the only thing to weaken the Everton goalscoring threat.
"The Yak's done his Achilles and that's him out for the season. Louis Saha did his hamstring as well so, with James Vaughan facing a knee operation, we are really short up front. It's a massive shame for us. We've had no luck injury-wise. But I'm hopeful that the group will work hard and respond to the challenge, especially Anichebe who, whilst only young, has real quality".
Said Moyes who is also worried that the recent recesion to hit Britain will also effect his transfer budget when January arrives
"It is well documented that we don't have great amounts of cash here and getting involved in January certainly wouldn't have been our ideal plan. But the chairman has always backed me and clearly we can't go through the rest of the season if we only have one fit striker. We'll see where we are and what we can do when the time comes in the new year."
