Loan option for Moyes
Everton, 08:57, August 19, 2008 ,
David Moyes is set to turn to some late loan deals to boost numbers at Everton as he continues to find it hard to strengthen.
Moyes has been thwarted at every turn this summer for one reason or another but he admitted this week that he would like to add up to seven new players to his squad.
Everton are still trying to negotiate with Sporting Lisbon for Joao Moutinho. Rennes midfielder Stephane M'bia, who is returning from the Olympics after Cameroon's weekend defeat to Brazil, continues to be linked, as does Alan Smith at Newcastle.
If Moyes continues to face problems in bringing players in full time then he may look to the loan player route which has proved successful in the past.
