Everton supporters knew the huge importance of this transfer window, not just for the squad but for the backroom team, too.
The Blues were desperate for improvement in multiple areas of the pitch heading into the coming season. That much was blatantly apparent to anyone with even a passing interest of the comings and goings at Goodison Park. A relegation fight is not where fans want or expect this club to be, and to avoid that again then there needed to be transfers.
But for the last few years it's seemingly been the same. Saying that this is a "crucial transfer window" for Everton has effectively lost all meaning at this stage.
