Everton boss Sam Allardyce has revealed what worries him about transfers at his new club with the January window looming.
Everton have been on an upward curve ever since Allardyce was named the new Toffees boss last month.
After a torrid start to the season which saw them in relegation peril, Everton are unbeaten in five, rising up the Premier League table into 10th place ahead of the match against bottom side Swansea on Monday night.
The Toffees had a net spend of over £70 million in the summer but have suffered after losing Romelu Lukaku.
A replacement for the towering striker was not secured before the summer transfer deadline despite interest in the likes of Olivier Giroud.
With Allardyce in place the club has been linked with a host of new faces in the forthcoming January window.
But the former West Ham manager has revealed he is concerned about transfers at his new club, as reported by The Daily Mail.
“The massive pressure which comes and falls on me as a manager, Steve (Walsh) as the director of football and the owner (Farhad Moshiri) who is finding the money or generating the money within the club is a huge decision now,” Allardyce told The Daily Mail.
“If it goes wrong because that player gets devalued, it is very difficult to move them on as nobody will give him the sort of money they are earning.
“That is a huge task and a huge responsibility for me, Steve and the system we are going to try and use to make decisions going forward.”
Allardyce’s comments suggest there will be a sell before buy policy in place at the club after the summer spending spree.
With a number of those signings failing to make the grade so far it could be that the club are looking to ship a number of players out where they can before investing heavily again.
