According to the BBC, Everton are after the highly rated West Ham player, but we may not be able to match the financial muscle of Portsmouth. Read that sentence again, it sort of sums up the situation we are in.

Everton manager David Moyes said: "Michael Carrick is one player we would certainly be interested in if we had the money to buy him.

"But that's been a problem for a while now," admitted Moyes.

He's not kidding either.
