Everton manager David Moyes says his fruitless search for new players before the start of the new season is making him feel "demented".

Moyes has only brought in Brazilian striker Jo on loan from Manchester City, while letting Andy van der Meyde, Lars Jacobson and Nuno Valente leave.

But Moyes is still hopeful of signing Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos.

"If we want a run in Europe we need more players. The search goes on and hasn’t stopped all summer," said Moyes.

"We are not ready as far as the squad goes, we want more players in. We let a few go in the summer and we have not replaced any of those players yet."

Moyes, who has rejected bids for Joleon Lescott and Louis Saha this summer, is desperate to add to his squad before the club’s Europa League play-off tie against Czech side Sigma Olomouc later this month.

The two-legged clash will dictate whether or not the Toffees have a season of regular European fixtures – and the income that brings.

Moyes admits he needs to act now to reinforce his squad ahead of the first leg at Goodison Park on 20 August.
