David Moyes: Everton FC are going to be stronger than ever

27 August 2009 09:00
DAVID MOYES today vowed to make Everton a stronger side after selling Joleon Lescott - as he revealed Diniyar Bilyaletdinov could make an instant Goodison debut. As Lescott was being unveiled by Manchester City yesterday, Moyes was planning both for tonight's game against SK Sigma Olomouc and the future. Bilyaletdinov became the first official signing of what the manager hopes will be a busy few days before the transfer window shuts next Tuesday. And if the Russian international obtains his visa and work permit by tomorrow, he could end up featuring in Sunday's Premier League tussle with Wigan Athletic. 'We're really looking forward to bringing Diniyar in and there is a chance he could play on Sunday,' said Moyes, who will assess 'one or two bumps and bruises' before deciding on the team that will start here this evening. 'There has been enough talk (about Lescott's transfer) and now is the time for everyone to move on. My job is to try and make us stronger. That's what I am aiming to do. 'We are working on several deals. I would be disappointed if we did not get four players in, maybe even more. We've made quite a bit of progress on them.'
