Stefan Borson shares Everton transfer verdict that he expects to antagonise fans

Stefan Borson believes Everton's overperformance under Moyes means the Friedkin Group will not invest in January, frustrating fans.

Stefan Borson, former Manchester City financial adviser, has told Football Insider that Everton's owners the Friedkin Group see no reason to invest in the squad during the January transfer window. With Everton sitting seventh in the Premier League on 16 points from 10 games—exceeding the owners' expectations—Borson believes TFG will be satisfied with the current squad.

"The Friedkins will be asking themselves, on 16 points, why do we need to? It's for sale; why do we need to put more money in?" Borson said. He added that the club is "doing too well for the Friedkins" and that this situation is "perfect for the Friedkins."

Manager David Moyes has privately expressed anger about the lack of transfer planning and publicly confirmed no plans are yet in place for January. Meanwhile, Everton may lose players rather than gain them, with the club considering terminating Jack Grealish's contract and Ainsley Maitland-Niles falling down the pecking order.
