Mentality more critical than price tag in bid to beef up Everton: Benitez
The HinduEverton does not have enough money to sign top quality reinforcements in January and will have to depend on bargain buys with the right mentality to be a fit at the Merseyside club, manager Rafa Benitez has said. The club managed to offload high-earning Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez but, without enough to spend, Benitez said loan options could be a possibility after a discussion with the club's director of football, Marcel Brands. "I think we will have some money to spend, but I don't think that will be too much," Benitez told reporters ahead of Sunday's home game against Tottenham Hotspur. Everton's majority owner, Farhad Moshiri, had loosened the purse strings in recent years, with the club spending more than 400 million pounds on incoming transfers in a bid to be more competitive under different managers.
