# 5 – Everton – sign a striker and hold on to Fellaini and Baines
Holding on to Fellaini and Baines might be difficult than signing a striker for Everton. In Martinez, they have a manager who can work on a tight budget but if Everton are to fight for European qualification, they need to make some drastic moves.
Holding on to Fellaini and Baines would be a huge success for the Merseyside club. To do that, they might be pushed to break their wage structure. Even if Fellaini leaves, they cannot let Baines go. Leighton Baines is a huge part of the way Everton plays and an ever present figure in their dead pieces.
Signing a striker would boost their goal-scoring abilities. With Jelavic looking good by each game, Everton need to find a suitable partner(reportedly, Kone) to him.
