Leaving his positive initial impression to one side, just look at the sheer difference in the worlds of Aston Villa and Everton.
Both teams needed to find a way to help their PSR sheets, so essentially traded more or less unwanted youngsters to each other.
One side has already sent their youngster out on loan as they neither want nor need him this season.
The other side, Everton, has replaced a player they've just sold for £50m - to Aston Villa - with their new youngster and it's clear that he actually is the replacement that we assumed would be brought in to such a crucial area of the pitch.
Absolute shambles. I can already hear Dyche again covering for the club with a "Well we didn't expect Tim's performance level to be so high, so we didn't feel like we needed to add more to that part of the squad."
Again, tens of millions will have gone missing.
Usually you regretfully sell your best players for a large amount of money so that you can plug numerous gaps you've got in your squad - we've sold Onana and still don't have a capable right back, have an appalling left back and no backup, don't have any pace in the squad at all or a player that can score goals.
