The transfer window always reminds me of Christmas. Full of expectation, excitement and then suddenly it becomes something an anti-climax once it is over. Some are happy with their presents, while others are left seething at the lack of effort that was put in. City fans are undoubtedly happy with their lot this summer, although others are bound to be disappointed.

It has been a relatively quiet transfer window as clubs remain cautious with their transfer spending, given the current climate. Chairman may have had little option but to be prudent, but it doesn’t stop supporters feeling slightly disappointed that a few more gambles haven’t taken place. Surprisingly a lot of managers have actually been sympathetic towards the situation, highlighting the curse of high wages that has made transfer dealings all the more difficult, rather than bemoaning the lack of backing from their club chairman, while others have simply made the best out of the stagnant transfer market, negotiated well and brought in some real bargains.

So how has Everton’s transfer window been and have you been happy, or disappointed, by the progress that has been made? Has David Moyes done enough to ensure that the Toffees will be challenging the top four this season? Do you foresee any last minute deals in the last 24hrs of the transfer window?

    Poor and no doubt one of the reasons Moyes is pondering over the Villa job. We have an awful board and Moyes has done fantastic with what little he has had to spend. No backing whatsoever yet he has given Everton there most consistent top eight finishes since when Kendall was first in charge. However, I still felt he would have done some dealing this transfer window as he is desperate for a right winger and a striker, yet has not really signed anyone with proven ability for those positions yet we have several defenders and midfielders that could have been sold to fund such transfers.
