​Moyes: Everton signings haven't embraced club ethos

David Moyes does not believe Everton have spent money in the best way over the past few seasons.

While the club have spent big in the past couple summers, fans have yet to see a positive return from most of those signings.

And Moyes believes it may be due to the players not being the right fit for the club.

He said to Sky Sports: "I think it's good they've spent money but we signed fantastic players with a great spirit, we had a great ethos at the club and what the club stood for - I think they've gone off that, a little bit.

"I don't know who made all the signings over the past few years, was it the owner, the sporting director or coach? But I know when I was here it was me, and I was always supported by Bill Kenwright.

"There's a lot of players who have come in and I'm not sure I would put all of them down as Everton-type players. But, for example, Richarlison was a great player for Watford last season, and he's got a good chance of improving too.

"You've got to be hungry, with a desire and energy, but you've got to have that style about you where you can play. You're under pressure here. The crowd are demanding, but they also want to see you're committed."
