Neville urges Toffees patience

Everton skipper Phil Neville has urged fans to be patient as they await new signings at Goodison Park this summer.
Toffees boss David Moyes has yet to add to his squad since the end of the last campaign, with most of the recent speculation suggesting striker Andrew Johnson will be sold to either Wigan Athletic or Sunderland.
"I think every club is waiting for one other club to make a move," Neville told the club's official website.
"I think you'll see one big transfer and then all of a sudden everyone else will start buying players."
Meanwhile, Neville also claims there is no real need to make major moves in the transfer market following last season's success when the Merseyside club secured UEFA Cup qualification via a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
He added: "I don't think Everton fans should worry too much about us signing too many players because of the quality in the squad.
"I'm sure the manager will strengthen the squad but I'm more looking forward to getting Tim Cahill back because we missed him for four or five months of the season.
"(Leighton) Baines missed part of it and we probably didn't see enough of Mikel Arteta after Christmas because of his injury.
"These types of players are going to be like new players for us next season."
