Everton should no longer look for Jamie Vardy to strengthen her attack options, according to the club -like Alan Stubbs.
The sufferings of the Toffees in front of the goal were taken in the season on Monday with a 1-0 defeat in Leeds.

The boss David Moyes provided Beto as a loan striker in Elland Road, supported by Iliman Ndiaye, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carlos Alcaraz.
In a game in which Jack Grialish made his debut for the club as a replacement in the second half, however, a lack of tailoring became apparent.
The defeat signaled Everton’s need for reinforcement in the attack with a little more than two weeks in the transfer window, and Stubbs believes that Free Agent striker Vardy would be the perfect recording for the Moyes side.
When asked if he would take a punt over Jamie Vardy, the ex-Everton defender said to talk sports: “Oh 100 percent. I think he is very different from what we have.
“We have two very similar strikers, two big boys, but we don’t have anyone who is so directly and above all a proven goal scorer.
“You see Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grialish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. They are players who want to push the balls into the side.
“You are looking for a clever player who runs on you. I have to be honest, I think Vardy is currently a perfect player for Everton.”
The 38-year-old, who was lined with a reunion with the former boss Brendan Rodgers near Celtic, has had no club since leaving Leicester City at the end of last season.
When Vardy announced his exit, he quickly points out that he had no plans to hang up his boots.
And his nine goals of the Premier League last season in the middle of a number of muscle injuries support the theory that Vardy still has a lot to offer at the highest level.

The striker was active on social media this summer by publishing a number of videos in which he works hard with his coaching team and seems ready to jump directly into the action when he is called.
Which caliber of the player is on Moyes’ shopping list this summer?
Although Moyes brought seven players this summer this summer, it is still looking for further obligations.
Everton was associated this summer with the real sociedad star Takefuso Kubo and the Juventus star Douglas Luiz, while an offer for highly rated Lyon wing player Malick Fofana was rejected by the French club.
Despite his best efforts, Moyes could not tempt anyone to move to Merseyside.
And Stubbs believes that Everton’s attempts to gain greater quality players was hindered by the lack of European football in the association.
“I think Everton will be very active between now and the end of the window. They were associated with a few players,” added Stubbs.

“I don’t think it is trying to do the lack. I think Everton made some players and unfortunately they had at least three players who said ‘no’ because Everton does not play European football.
“Douglas Luiz was one of them that he had been a great signing.
“This is the position in which Everton is located, it is a very frustrating time at the moment.
“They try to do business and the players they want are of a better standard than the players they have.
“But try to bring it across the line was the most difficult.”
Next for the Toffees is Brighton’s visit on Sunday in the first trip in the Premier League in the New Hill-Dickinson Stadium.
And there will be high expectations of the Toffees when they enter a new era, and a victory against Brighton will probably help reduce the transition to the new arena of 52,700 capacities.
