“Now I can see why it has been so difficult in Everton in recent years,” said Moyes, who succeeded Sean Dyche on January 11 and again praised his predecessor to handle the strict financial limitations.
“It is not good when you see other teams that buy many main players and you cannot get involved in the action because it is not within our reach.
“It is very difficult to get the players we want. I am really jealous to see many teams that may try to go for many players at expensive prices. “

The extreme Dwight McNeil, which has its contributions of more direct objectives, is outside after surgery, while the former England striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, could lose much of the rest of the season with a problem of hamstrings and the Midfielder Orel Mangala has a long -term knee injury.
“We are really sad for both players,” Moyes said, speaking with the end of the transfer window that is coming Monday night. “(Bring the players) certainly not for lack of trying.
“Without a doubt, we are still hindered with PSR. I was very surprised by the way it restricts the football club. We are not quite there, but we do not want to put ourselves in the position in which we have been before with points deductions.
“We hope to bring some players, but maybe they are not the ones who, if we really had the money, we would be trying to (sign).”

Friedkins to help Everton ‘Challenge’
“Everton is a huge club and should compete with many of the country’s great clubs and, hopefully, spend in a way in which it is a challenge for the great players available,” Moyes added.
“I am beginning to understand a little more about the PSR. He is hindering us. What I really want to bring to Everton now is not what I can do. “
Moyes is optimistic that the Friedkin group, which took over December 19, will give Everton more transfer force.
“Trying to recruit correctly will always be the most important thing, I think, for most football managers,” he said. “At the moment, I don’t think we are in the buyers market.
“I have enough confidence, with the new owners entering and leaving that in the summer, which we hope to challenge. We need to add something to the team (for Monday) instead of no. My goal is to try to bring something else. “
Everton will point to a third consecutive victory when Leicester City host Saturday (3pm GMT).
