Moyes cannot afford Jo
David Moyes has ruled out Brazilian striker Jo staying at Goodison Park after his loan deal comes to an end this summer.
The 22-year-old striker moved to Goodison Park on a temporary basis in January after struggling to break into the first-team at Manchester City.
Jo has scored five goals in his seven appearances for the Toffees, but even though Moyes is delighted with his contribution he admits that Everton simply do not have the money to make a permanent bid.
"It's not worth discussing as he cost a lot of money, and we don't have that sort of money, that's for sure," he said.
Terrific
"He has come, done terrifically well, and he has got his goals. If somebody had said to me I would take a striker on loan and he would score five goals, I'd have said: 'That will do me'.
"It's not easy to score in the Premier League, so you have to give him a lot of credit for all those goals.
"Away from home we still have to see him do more. That has been a bit of a concern, but his goals at home have been invaluable.
"He has a really good record, and let's hope he keeps it up. If he does then he will have proven a really good signing, which isn't easy to get in January."
Manchester City parted with £18million to bring Jo to Eastlands, but his impact was limited to three goals in 18 total appearances.
Difficult
Moyes believes that foreign players need to be given time to adjust to the demands of the Premier League and didn't expect Jo to have such immediate success with Everton.
"It happens. Look at players like Tevez and Mascherano when they first came to the country. It was difficult for them," he added.
"It is hard for foreign players. Maybe given time he will go on to show what he can do when he was at CSKA. But as to why he's changed since he's been with us, it's difficult to say.
"We needed a player because we were short, and Manchester City had quite a few, so we brought him in. But I didn't know at the time he would start every game. I didn't expect that.
"But with injuries, I put him in straight away and he got a couple of goals."
