Everton FC fans letters: Steven Pienaar can go for right price

A HARD fought victory against a stubborn, well disciplined Fulham side, who realistically deserved a draw from the game.

I HAVE to disagree with the fans who say Everton need to sign another striker in the summer. Even though there are times they could have been more clinical in front of goal this season, I don't think bringing in another centre forward is the answer.

In Louis Saha and Yakubu the Blues have two quality forwards, and you can see from this campaign that it's rare they start a game as a partnership.

Then you recall they have the goals of Tim Cahill, and two youngsters in Victor Anichebe and James Vaughan who have already proved they can find the back of the net when called upon.
