Tim Howard has no doubts Everton boss Dave Moyes will spend wisely this summer.

"Of course we can stay up there," said Howard. "But look. Tottenham are spending big, Aston Villa and Manchester City had good seasons and are going to spend. They have to. Everyone has to.

"That's the wicked thing about football nowadays. If you don't spend, you could get left behind. Sunderland are supposed to be spending something like £50m. It's crazy how it works but our manager buys well and we trust him."
