Pienaar: Toffees need player investment

20 December 2010 11:30
Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar hopes the club will be able to make a greater investment in players to enable them challenge for a place in the Barclays Premier League top four. David Moyes' side are currently 15th in the table after a run of seven matches without a victory, having won just three times all season. The Toffees have finished in the top 10 six times in the last eight seasons but only once - in 2005 - did they make it into the top four. Moyes has never had as much to spend on his squad as many of his top-flight rivals but Pienaar hopes that will be able to change in the future. "I think the quality is here at the club," said the 28-year-old. "The only problem, like everyone seems to know, is the money issue - we need more players. "Hopefully that will change in the next few years and the team can go on to challenge."
