Rate Everton's Transfer Window

[ToffeeTim]

I give it a 7 because it was good but not great.

Grealish is an incredibly good signing. I like Dewbury - Hall a lot, and I like some of the other deals we've done.

The negatives for me are we continue to lack any sort of quality at full back. We will also have to wait and see how good our striking options will be. It's too early to make any conclusions on Barry. There could also have been more urgency earlier in pre-season to get players in.

7. Barry and Dewsbury Hall don’t look a huge improvement over what we had but we needed numbers so that’s ok

I doubt Aznou or Dibling contribute hugely at this stage

8. I think that Grealish loan was the difference between good and bad window. If that loan didn’t happen there would be a lot of angry people right now

Yeah, i think the grealish signing wasn't just a great signing for his ability on the pitch it was also a great signing for the face of the club. It probably helped us attract some of other lads..

Squad is thin and lacking in areas so we'll have to be lucky with injuries.

When you look at the quality we've brought in though, I think it's been a very good window.

We now have a team that will excite us and I belive we will be proud of.

Looking forward to this season and haven't been able to say that for years.

Fantastic transfer window. Easily the best that we've had in the Premier League era. We've kept hold of everyone who we needed to keep. Our defence which performed so well last year is more or less intact. Our attack is completely transformed: from having the worst front line in the PL, suddenly we have one of the most exciting. And the addition of Grealish gives it a real star quality. Most of our signings are permament deals, most are young, so there may be money to be made as well.

Are we the finished article ? No, but how often can you say that about any team. Bringing in another CF and another RB remain on our agenda. In the meantime, we have a squad strong enough to move onward and upward as a club.

A solid 8. Really satisfied that we addressed the areas that immediately needed addressing this season with a good mix of known quality and young promise coming in. Replaced the majority of the outgoings with much better quality overall without breaking the bank.

A very decent start from the new owners/recruitment team given the circumstances/constraints with, I'm sure, even more to come.

We needed a marauding RB and we only have 2 strikers now.

7.5/10 for me, the upgrade in attacking areas is seriously impressive and has to be applauded. Think if we’d have got a right back and sold McNeil and upgraded it would’ve been a 10/10 tbh.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Why is it that we can’t swap our fullbacks around? I get it that some have a preference for which foot they favour. But these are pros and should be able to play on the right and left side.

When Branthwaite comes back, why can’t Aznou (when up to match fitness) play either side? We’re stronger when players aren’t one dimensional specialists. We should be able to move Myko right and left. Same with Tarkowski.

It would’ve been great to get a RB in. Well we didn’t. And I’m glad we didn’t spend everything on one when we spent wisely and got so much.

Until we’re consistently higher up the table, use what you’ve got. Move the pieces around. Those defenders should be able to play anywhere back there. Garner’s doing everything asked of him and is highly successful. He’s been on both sides of the midfield, RB, anything we’ve needed.

 

[Evo2901]

We needed a marauding RB and we only have 2 strikers now.

A lot are mentioning about only having 2 strikers but realistically how often does that third striker actually play? Chermiti hardly ever got on the pitch for us tbh. I imagine if one of Beto/Barry is injured then Ndiaye will fill in up front when necessary

 

[Librarian]

Massive upgrade in quality in one window, not sure there’s been anything similar before, not to my memory anyway

 

[windymiller]

I've given it a 7. I was between a 6 and a 7 but I think the better midfield options push it to a 7. Grealish and KDH are obviously improvements in the first 11, signing Alcaraz permanently and adding Dibling and Rohl means we have genuine options in the squad in midfield, particularly in an attacking sense. Re-signing Branthwaite was a huge boost too but I think we are very light on both sides at fullback and our striker options probably aren't going to be scaring too many opposing managers either. RB really troubles me and I think will cause us some problems at some point in the season. Rome wasn't built in a day, however, and we are definitely better placed than we were this time last year both on and off the pitch.

Helluva window imo, especially looking at the outgoings.

Solid 8 - a rb, cb and another forward option would have been 10/10

Thank you for posting.If you look at those ins and outs we are so much better than we where 10 months ago.

Improved in the middle and final third. Alcaraz will be a steal at that fee and Grealish.....well we don't need to say anything there. KDH is a very good acquisition and an improvement on Doucoure. Barry and Aznou, I'm not sure on yet. Disappointed we missed a key position as that was our main area but happy he got someone in on the right side too.
