Genuine question though, why would you have thought that was fantasy? I'd be quite pleased with those ins, but none of them would have seemed particularly unlikely at the end of last season would they? There's nobody on that list would have fans of other teams going 'how the hell have Everton got him?'. A player on loan who was relegated with Stoke last year, another who was a terrible flop, one most of us had never heard of etc.

Similarly with the outs, it's not exactly surprising that we've managed to get somebody to loan a player who we spent £12m on 2 years ago and still captains his country, offloaded (for free) last seasons top scorer and England's all time leading scorer, loaned out some kids like we always do, and raised £22m on Dutch and Argentine internationals in their mid 20s.

That's genuinely not meant as a negative summary, I just think the business we've done/are linked with is fairly standard, not really hugely different to what most people would have envisaged (in terms of numbers/fees if not the actual players involved).

I think most people thought we would struggle to shift Mirallas, Klaassen, Bolasie due to high wages and how badly they failed here.
I think many suspected the funds wouldn’t be available for substantial bids after the insane money wasted last year.
I think the acquisition of Richarlison, Digne, Bernard and who knows.. lascelles? Mina? Is major upgrades on what we had previously.
In summary, something of a fantasy window, although at the moment it’s still a bit potential as we await the last couple of signings.
 

Tim Vickery on Talksport before basically slating Bernard for his attitude at Shakhtar and “hopes” Yerry Mina succeeds at Everton because he’s not the greatest.....
