We needed a striker and a CB/LB. Got neither. Terrible end to a ridiculously awesome window.

Couldn't have put it better. RS look good though, all they've really got is Firmino, however they also have Mane and Salah - watching them batter Arsenal was terrifying. Where's our dynamism coming from?
Oh 7/10 - and that is being VERY generous!!!

6 for me.
Pickford, Keane, Klaassen and Sigurdsson all very good signings, despite the £££ spent on them. Massive upgrades in very lacking areas.
But massively missing in defence. Cover left back, another centre back.
Striking options are very limited.
Wide options are non existent, if things go as they have been with 3 at the back then it won't last long therefore we need proper wide players. Mirallas seems to have burnt his bridges, Lennon isn't good enough. Then if we get another injury or 2 especially at the back, we're in trouble.
Koeman explicitly stated publicly, in the most obvious terms, what players we still needed, over 4 weeks a go and he hasn't been provided with them. To me that is criminal, especially the striking situation given how long a go it was when Rom rejected the new contract.

7 - Improved the keeping situation and the defence, however lacking in depth. Plenty of midfield options (probably two many in attacking midfield - still don't understand the reason behind Sigurdsson AND Klaassen). Failed to replace Lukaku though IMO and that was always going to be key.
Good, but could've been better.

When compared to much of the last 10 years i'd say this is an 8. We have signed numerous quality players and have a much stronger squad apart from a couple of glitches.
At least next summer we won't have a major overhaul to do and can go in knowing a striker or two and a couple of defenders will give us a squad capable of competing. We are much closer to that than we were in May 2016.

I say six only because of Pickford. If not for him, you're getting less in than you're losing.

Not signing the players we wanted/needed . Short up front
Barkley u turning on the physios table
Director of football going on a jolly to Milan.
Manager going on holiday in the last week
Owner ringing national tv 15 minutes before the window closes seemingly clueless and senile.
It's certainly been an Everton transfer window..

Should have been a 9.
Squad depth is stronger but defensive cover and a striker let us down. We'll still smash

It puts a lot of pressure on DCL.
6, not terrible but not great. Standard Everton window really.

We are much weaker than last year
Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong
Just sold our best striker in decades and haven't replaced him. Madness. Who plays LB when baines is injured? Complete mess
Signed some good young future players but it is complete madness to spend 45m on Sigurddson who now doesn't have a target man to assist for?? Comedy error everton

The manager wanted a striker and a LCB but signed 3 number 10's whilst forcing another one out of the picture.
He wants to play a high press but the 2 centre halves hes signed are too slow therefore we have ro defend deep.
I'm not impressed at all with this window.

6 for me.
Failed to sign a backup for Baines which seemed to be identified at the beginning of the summer when Arsenal stole Kolasinac from us. Of course, the elephant in the room is the lack of a replacement for Lukaku. Lost one of the best in the league and failed to adequately replaced him. Had we taken care of these two things, it could have been a 9 or 10.
