Everton skipper Neville backing Moyes to make right signings

Everton captain Phil Neville is confident Dave Moyes will make the right signings this summer.

"I think every club is waiting for one other club to make a move," he told evertonTV. "I think you'll see one big transfer and then all of a sudden everyone else will start buying players."

The senior members of the squad may be in the minority over here in Switzerland but Phil pointed to the amount of class players that are yet to rejoin the group.

"I don't think Everton fans should worry too much about us signing too many players because of the quality in the squad," he reasoned.

"Look at the players who are not over here. The African players and Tim Howard obviously need their rest after playing through the summer but when we get them all back we'll not be far off again."

Despite that, Phil is still confident that there will be some additions to the Everton ranks before the new campaign kicks off in August.

"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. Bainesy 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."
