The transfer window has not yet officially opened, but supporters are already on tenterhooks to see what business Everton can muster over the course of the coming months.
It's stating the obvious to suggest that last season was absolutely not good enough from the Blues, who only secured their Premier League survival in dramatic fashion thanks to a comeback victory over Crystal Palace in the penultimate game of the term. As they strive for better, many are expecting there to be a lot of changes over what could be a transformative summer.
Frank Lampard and Kevin Thelwell will be at the helm of the recruitment policy, and meetings between the pair have already taken place over what strategy the club will take over the course of the next few weeks. Evertonians will sincerely hope that the mistakes of the past can be learned from when the Blues embark on what will be another important period of their recent history.
