Everton's transfer window proved to be as everyone expected it to be - quiet.
Finances are tight at the club and three of their five summer deals were a combination of two loans and one free signing and the club are in a very trying situation at the current time. They did manage to keep hold of their key players which is a bonus but the squad isn't any different overall. But, given the window is now closed, we've decided to pick Everton's strongest XI.
