Everton boss David Moyes is reluctant to discuss how much money it would take to lift he club into the top four.
"It is difficult to put a figure on it," he said.
"Look at Chelsea. Frank Lampard, John Terry and Didier Drogba are the ones you would want. They are the ones who win you games and eventually cups.
"That is the level we are at. But it is hard to win things in England.
"Everyone is competing for a small amount of trophies.
"We are trying to develop those players. This season we just needed one or two more at that level. If we had done that who knows?"
