Moyes signs Saha but is not satisfied

DAVID Moyes is not satisfied with life at Goodison Park despite bringing three new players to the Premier League club this week.

Louis Saha will join on a two-year contract from Manchester United pending a medical, Lars Christian Jacobsen has been recruited after being released by German club Nurnberg and Segundo Castillo has also signed on a season-long loan deal from Red Star Belgrade.

Moyes also confirmed that Everton are expecting to tie up another loan deal for Inter Milan's Victor Obinna Nsofor before Monday's transfer deadline.

Yet despite these positive developments, he still does not believe Everton possess the financial muscle or the squad depth to compete with the Premier League's 'Big Four' – Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

And when asked whether his new signings would help bring Everton onto a level footing with those rivals, Moyes' response was illuminating.

He said: "No, no, I can't say yes to that. We have brought in four players but not spent any money – let's put that in perspective.

"Some people pay 20million for one player, we have not paid that for four or for any."
