Norman Hubbard: EPL Transfer Window Movers and Shakers

EVERTON

In: Louis Saha, Marouane Fellaini, Lars Jacobsen, Carlo Nash, Segundo Castillo (loan)
Out: Andrew Johnson, Lee Carsley, Stefan Wessels
Spent: £16.5M
Received: £10.5M

After a summer of extreme inactivity, David Moyes went on the equivalent of a desperate dash round the shops on Christmas Eve. His first signing - Lars Jacobsen - came in the last week of the window and at a time when Moyes appeared to have a troop of boy scouts on the bench. Selling Andrew Johnson for less than originally intended added to the agony for the blue half of Merseyside; at least the pay-as-you-play element of his replacement Louis Saha's recruitment could prove cheap, though if Manchester United make 25p a season from the injury-prone striker, Everton are unlikely to benefit from many goals. Some of Moyes' targets - including Joao Moutinho and Wagner Love - promised much; the reality of the lesser-known Marouane Fellaini, at a seemingly inflated £15 million, is more of a mystery.
