Sources from within Goodison say that David Moyes is not a happy man.
The Toffees story this window was always likely to be centred around Steven Pienaar and that story hasn’t gone away. In fact it’s a fire that’s been fanned by the breaking news that Spurs are also in for Phil Neville.
The Neville link was made last week on a number of Spurs forums, but was confirmed on ESPN by Clive Allen last night.He said,
“I think phil is a fantastic player, a player of great experience who certainly played Gareth Bale well last week and is something that you know we have targets in the window and I wouldn’t be suprised if phil neville is one othose.”
Many Spurs fans are likely to question the wisdom of bringing in Neville, but much of this is largely a gut reaction. As a player he would bring in the class that is frequently absent from the Tottenham back four.
Talk of Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate is all very admirable but if Spurs want to rubber stamp their Champions League credentials they need players who can play – not talk.
