David Moyes' summer is spent chasing half the Premiership's central midfielders to no avail. So the board's 5m war chest is spent on two wingers, a prodigal striker to go with the other 84 we already have, and a "backup" goalie who ends up being Everton's best cat since Southall's 80s heyday.More worryingly, Wayne Rooney's growing too big, both literally and figuratively.
