Everton chairman Kenwright hails Moyes' transfer market success

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has paid tribute to manager David Moyes' work in the transfer market.

Kenwright said: "David has made some fantastic signings like Tim Cahill and Tim Howard, outstanding acquisitions.

"He even tells me he signed Marouane Fellaini to be an attacking midfielder, not the holding player he had first seen at Standard Liege.

"Now he has turned into a great attacking player. You could go on and on.

"And look at the youngsters he has brought through. Jack Rodwell will be a big star, and so will Jose Baxter.

"I recall on a terrible night of bad weather in Nottingham last July for the reserves, he scored an amazing goal. I said then that I had seen something like that before, and everyone knew I meant Wayne Rooney's debut goal against Arsenal.

"We have a truly great club here with great people. My old mum kicks every ball. I know when we score and my mobile rings, who it is.

"She can't watch it on TV because she gets too nervous. All she has said to me throughout this season is 'just believe.' And I do."
