// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Everton boss David Moyes has confirmed he is aiming to add four new signings to his squad before the close of the transfer window.[LNB] In a repeat of 12 months ago, Moyes has been left waiting until deep into August to improve his options, with the return of Jo the only high-profile arrival at Goodison Park.[LNB]Moyes has spent much of the summer fending off Manchester City's interest in Joleon Lescott, with the defender having handed in a transfer request.[LNB]The Toffees remain hopeful of hanging on to Lescott, although Moyes is understood to have lined up a deal for Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor.[LNB]He is also pursuing other targets and believes he needs to bring in more players, particularly with Everton set to play in the Europa League group phase following Thursday's 4-0 victory over Sigma Olomouc in the first leg of their play-off tie.[LNB]Definite concern"The squad depth is a definite concern," Moyes told the club's official website. "We are getting closer, but I've been saying that since the weekend. [LNB]"There are 11 days to go and I feel we need to add four players to the squad in that time.[LNB]"I keep thinking we are closer to making a signing. But I can see the deadline coming closer and normally I am glad when it shuts, but on this occasion I would like to extend it.[LNB]"I feel that if we are fortunate enough to get into the group stage of the Europa League that we need at least another four players in order to fulfil the Premier League season as well.[LNB]"We need to bolster the squad, but I don't want to fill it with rubbish. It is easy to sign players and bring them in, but we are a club that wants a very good team and not just an average team."[LNB]
