DITCH PLAN B... PLAN D IS ONLY WAY FORWARD!

Beto and Barry have just ONE Prem goal between them, and former captain urges Everton to strike fast: Juventus ace Dusan is your FREE ride to Cloud No.9

EVERTON will need to phone 999 if they don't sort themselves out with a new No.9.

And the 'free' forward who ticks all the boxes is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.

That's the view of Don Hutchison, former Everton skipper, who has been far from impressed with his old club's current frontline.

With more than a quarter of the Premier League season gone, Toffees strikers Beto, 27, and Thierno Barry, 23, have just ONE goal between them.

Hutchison believes boss David Moyes needs to box clever going forward - and 25-year-old, 6ft 3in Serbian hitman Vlahovic is out of contract next summer.

Speaking on behalf of sportscasting.com, the 54-year-old said: "Everton are crying out for a No.9.

"I know they've signed Barry, who is a young kid and he cost a lot of money. I know they've got Beto.

"But when I look at the profile of players, they're both exactly the same in terms of their movement, their touch.
