Best tranny wino Everton had in a while. Smart moves with hands tied behind backs. Squad looks stronger although still missing in some areas. Made decent money from sales for players that shouldn’t be too missed and very importantly kept Branthwaite.
Now it’s about knitting the team together on the pitch to make it count. That’s on Seany Dy.

+ Branthwaite, Pickford, DCL still here.
+ Tim, NDiaye, OBrien (> Holgate, Keane) seem decent.
+ Lindstrom, Orel, Broja hopefully upgrades on Gomez, Maupay, Dobbin.
+ A bit of money in for Godfrey, Maupay, Holgate, Dobbin.
+ Onana was probably the right 'big' sale.
+ Chermiti, Patterson, Branthwaite hopefully recovering to help the squad.
- Financially we seemed to have missed out on a DCL sale - we'll see in Jan.
- We still can't play with speed / pace, this doesn't seem to be the Dyche way.
- LB is paper thin - Young and McNeil seems pretty desperate if Myko is injured.
I gave it a 6.

5 or 6/10. Very few eye catching signings but the squad depth is much better than last season.
Big issue is I don't think the first 11 is that great with a couple in their 30s and probably not going to be as effective as last year so will need the bench lads to step up at some point.

This window we have made £20m in transfers. That’s what are talking about. The other money was already factored in
We definitely need a new owner by January agreed.

Where did the money for O'Brien & Ndiaye come from if not from this sale?

3/10.
Michael Keane and Ashley Young were not sold, released, or otherwise punted to the moon.
We still need a starting RB, LW, and RW.
Not having a backup LB is also concerning.
But we did keep JB and got a Doucoure replacement.

Baseline of 5. Adding and subtracting below:
Harrison loan. Useful player compared to our lack of options and funds. (+0 but also -0)
Sold Onana to balance the books while keeping JB. I can’t overstate how important this is. (+2)
Aston Villa PSR swap. Smart and oily enough to make you proud. Tim is a solid player. (+1)
We acted early with moves for attacking options. Ndiaye and Lindstrom look useful alternatives to Doucs, McNeil, and Harrison. Prices maybe a little high for Ndaiye but reasonable. (+1)
O’Brien as depth is a smart move. Price seems reasonable. (+1)
Mangala as midfield depth. Don’t know the player well enough to critique, but we needed a warm body and got one. (+0 but also -0)
DCL unsettled and a long term replacement not handled. He will walk on a free when we need money. Broja a last minute panic loan with an insane option price. (-1)
No speedy option brought in. Obvious problem unaddressed. (-1)
Our full backs are skeletons: year 3 in a row. (-2)
6/10 overall. Had we signed a full back and let Young leave it could have been higher.

Biggest fail was being unable to either tie DCL down to a new contract or flog him.
Signing Iroegbunam & Ndiaye offsets that though.
Middling so far, but hopefully the other new signings turn it into a 7+ in due course.

Half decent.
We just need RB, fast winger and competent manager now.
