Everton ended up keeping hold of young midfielder Harrison Armstrong but they made a mess of their attempts to sign another striker before the transfer window closed.
I know Thierno Barry comes in for criticism and his finishing is erratic, but at least they still have him to lead their line.
He scores some brilliant goals too, as does Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, so I don't think it will be all doom and gloom for Everton fans this season, despite their frustration at the moment.
As for Manchester United, well I know some of their supporters think I am down on them all the time.
So, I'd like to point out I backed them to win their first two games of the season and they are joint top of the table (based on my predictions).
This time, I'm going for a draw, but that would still be a decent result for Michael Carrick's side.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Undefeated Everton host a Manchester United side bidding for a first away win of the season.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes ahead of their meeting at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday (14:00 BST).
As timelines go, turbulent doesn't really do justice to the final days of Everton's transfer window.
A £40m offer for academy prospect Harrison Armstrong was accepted and then rebuffed following a fan backlash. Four players left on deadline day, including star winger Iliman Ndiaye, with only two brought in.
A £40m deal for Monaco forward Folarin Balogun collapsed spectacularly at the 11th hour.
The net result is that Everton will play until January with only 18 senior outfield players available.
Toffees boss David Moyes used 22 players in the Premier League last season, the fewest of any manager, but even for someone who prefers to work with a smaller squad, Everton's resources look stretched at best for a side who will play at least 17 games before the transfer window opens again in January.
One positive on a difficult deadline day was the loan signing of Jack Grealish for a second successive season from Manchester City.
Grealish proved to be a popular addition to the Everton squad in 2025-26 before a stress fracture to his foot ended his campaign after a 1-0 win at Aston Villa in January.
While Everton's goal output was broadly the same with and without Grealish, their win percentage and points-per-game tallies were both significantly higher with the 30-year-old in the side.
Jack Grealish spent last season on loan at Everton
Despite missing four months of the season, only James Garner (seven) provided more assists than Grealish's six for the club, while Grealish ranked top for fouls won (58) and touches in the opposition box (105).
The England international's creative numbers also compared favourably to Ndiaye.
Grealish created eight more chances, won 21 more fouls and provided three more assists in the Premier League despite playing 12 fewer games than the Senegal international.
Manchester United had challenges of their own during the transfer window having not signed a left-back to offer competition to Luke Shaw.
United did still spend about £100m on new players, including marquee signing Carlos Baleba.
The central midfielder, who joined for an initial £65m from Brighton, could make his debut this weekend, although United may look to another matchwinner.
Captain Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick in the 5-2 win against Ipswich Town and he enjoys playing against Everton.
The Portugal international has been involved in 11 goals in 13 Premier League appearances against the Merseyside club, scoring six and assisting five, the joint most of any United player.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes could set a club Premier League record for goal involvements against Everton
This will be 20th Premier League game of Michael Carrick's second tenure in charge of the club, with no side winning more points than United's 42 during this period.
And United tend to do well in this fixture. They have won six of the past eight Premier League games against Everton (D1, L1), keeping a clean sheet in five of those wins.

Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 14:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Moyes started by saying he is "disappointed we didn't do more business and disappointed things didn't go our way in" in the transfer window. He said it "wasn't anybody's fault" that the deal for Folarin Balogun fell through because "the player had a problem in his medical and that was simply it".
On the sale of Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City: "We were looking to get some money in. We lost Iliman, who we didn't want to lose, but it's quite difficult when the likes of Manchester City come along looking for your players. Ultimately, we didn't want to lose a lot of the players, but for different reasons that had to happen."
On the reported late bid by Chelsea for James Garner: "What was said was completely untrue, so I don't know where that's come from. There's no truth in that whatsoever."
He said he has "been around long enough" to know what was needed this summer and "what it's like to build a squad for the Premier League". Moyes added: "They're all going to have to be able to muck in. We've got a real small squad now." Moyes added he "has no concerns" that people will step up and play their part when needed.
He said he's "not sure" the academy players are "ready to make the step up," but "some of them might be pushed in" due to various reasons like injuries and suspensions.
On the target for this season and whether it has altered: "I haven't really made huge targets but, behind the scenes, I speak to the players about what we're expecting. There's a lot of positivity and confidence about how we've started the season. I want to keep pressing on and keep the club going in the right direction. Our job is to challenge as near to the top end as we can."
He added that "there might not be great expectation" around Everton this season, "but behind the scenes" he is "rallying them".

Everton fan and podcaster Mike Richards spoke to BBC Radio Merseyside about the club's chaotic end to the transfer window.
"I think we, and the manager you could argue as well, have been incredibly let down.
"For me that is the most unforgivable part about the whole thing... you let your second striker go, in Beto to Fiorentina. If you're going to do that you've got to ensure that you've got another striker.
"Thierno Barry can't play every minute of every game between now and 1 January so it leaves you with a situation then where you're looking at potentially Brennan Johnson going up front, Tyrique George maybe going up front but who does the buck stop with? We don't know."

Image source, Getty ImagesIt was a deadline day that was as intriguing as it was infuriating at Everton but why did Folarin Balogun walk away from a deal at the final moment?
The Toffees had expected the forward to arrive on a plane due to leave Nice at 07:00 BST but there were eyebrows raised when he didn't get that flight and he was late getting into Liverpool.
By the time the USA star did land on UK soil it was after 13:00 BST so he was immediately taken to a medical centre for scans and tests. That takes about four hours to complete and, running behind time, Balogun was then whisked to the Finch Farm training ground for the final tests needed.
It has been well reported that something was flagged up in the medical that would affect Balogun's long-term availability and I also understand the feeling among Everton's specialists is that this issue wouldn't have been a surprise to Monaco or the player himself.
With the clock ticking, and Beto already leaving for Fiorentina, Everton were willing to proceed with a revised deal that finically reflected what would be limited appearances for the 25-year-old.
At this stage my understanding is Monaco were sluggish getting the revised paperwork back but eventually everyone approved a deal sheet.
With that signed by Everton, Monaco and the player then had a short window of time after the 23:00 BST deadline to complete the contract. Just before midnight Balogun, who had been at Finch Farm for several hours, decided he had changed his mind and left.
It is a baffling set of events that has left Everton with just one striker in Thierno Barry. I understand the club's hierarchy are disappointed and dismayed by the situation. The Beto deal was pushed through because the Italian window shut four hours earlier. You wonder if that hadn't been the case, would his move have been halted?
As for right now, I have been told the back-up striker will be Tyrique George. He's played on the left wing so far but has played up front while coming up through the ranks at Chelsea.
Brennan Johnson is also known to have played as a striker and gives David Moyes another option.
It also leaves Everton with just 18 outfield players now. Christian Norgaard is already injured and this will now be a delicate balancing act for the manager after what was an astounding deadline day in the club's history.

Premier League clubs have broke their all-time summer transfer record with spending reaching £3.49bn.
A total of £506.5m was spent on deadline day itself, up from £391m last year.
The total amount spent during the window considerably dwarfs the £1.13bn spent by clubs just five years ago and underlines the power top English clubs have to attract talent, according to figures provided to BBC Sport by Paul Macdonald, founder of FootballTransfers.com.
Three of the 10 most expensive signings in the history of football have happened this summer – with all of them being Premier League signings. In fact, this summer window featured four of the top flight's five most expensive ever deals.
So maybe it is not surprising then that of the 20 most expensive transfers completed, only six were not to clubs in the English top flight.
Indeed, newly-promoted Ipswich have spent more on new signings than the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and reigning European champions PSG.
Premier League clubs as a whole were willing to dip deep into their pockets this summer, as 11 of the 20 clubs broke their transfer records, six of them on more than one occasion.
Coventry, promoted to the Premier League alongside Ipswich and Hull, have done so four times over.

We asked for your views on Everton's transfer business.
Here are some of your comments:
Paul: In all fairness I never expected anything other than how this debacle has turned out. It's Everton's way to buy as cheap as possible and at the last minute - this time they have been caught out. I am done with the club as long as these owners are in charge.
Peter: At the start of the transfer window we were full of optimism as early signs of getting the recruitment done early seemed to be paying dividends, however by the end we were left scrabbling around for the dregs while other clubs swept up the better players.
Harry: Baffled, every year we are baffled by decisions made by owners or managers! It's like the Friedkin Group have bought an entertainment centre on the banks of a famous river. Maybe it will be looked at as a cash cow for them but once the fan base turns it will become anything other than a cash cow. We have had enough of stupid decisions and bad management.
Andrew: Kinnear should resign.
Stephen: Shambolic transfer deadline day. We had weeks to prepare and ended up running around like headless chickens. As fans we deserve better than this. If there isn't the money available to fund a proper squad rebuild then tell us, we are grown ups and can understand.
Image source, Getty ImagesMonaco sporting director Thiago Scuro has explained that Folarin Balogun's Deadline Day move to Everton collapsed because "at the last moment, the player decided not to sign".
Issues with the medical meant Everton and Monaco renegotiated the initial £40m deal for the 25-year-old striker but Balogun had a change of heart and walked away after both clubs signed a deal sheet before the transfer window closed at 23:00 BST.
"Clearly, we were open to discussing and finding a transfer for Balogun," Scuro told BBC Sport.
"We had a clear agreement for Balogun to go to Everton. Balogun flew yesterday morning to complete his medical and sign a contract.
"Our plan worked very, very well at that moment in terms of generating revenue, squad planning and player transfers.
"At 16:00, Balogun was in Liverpool completing his medical. Everything was going pretty well. Around 19:00 we were contacted by Everton, who raised concerns about Balogun's medical. For our medical staff and for the player's personal medical staff, there was no sense in those concerns. The explanations were not enough to justify any concerns about the player's future or health.
"A discussion started between the medical departments. It took around two or three hours to go through the assessments, consult other doctors and review the scans. This is normal when a club doctor raises concerns.
"Meanwhile, as often happens on deadline day, the story entered the media very quickly. About half an hour after we were contacted, reports were already saying Balogun had failed his medical.
"What happened was that around 20:00 our time, maybe a bit earlier, Everton realised there was no issue and decided they were ready to sign the contract.
"I signed the contract. Everton signed the contract. At the last moment, the player decided not to sign.
"Basically, Balogun's position was, 'I'm not feeling comfortable with the way the club treated me. I'm not comfortable with the doubts raised about my future or my health. I have no issue, so I'm not comfortable signing a contract here.'
"And that's how we ended the transfer window.
"Regarding Everton, we had to respect his decision. We did our work as a club. We found solutions, challenged the medical assessment and worked through the issues.
"At the end, Everton agreed with us that Balogun had no problem. That's why they signed the contract, even under slightly improved conditions for the player and for Monaco regarding the payment structure.
"When Balogun told us he was not comfortable and did not want to sign, we were not in a position to push him. We had to respect that."

Image source, Getty ImagesEverton's shambolic end to the transfer window has resulted in open revolt from supporters that places fierce scrutiny on owners The Friedkin Group and chief executive Angus Kinnear.
The last straw for fans already infuriated by the controversial proposed sale of home-grown youngster Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest - the deal was eventually blocked by Everton's board in the face of the toxic reaction from the fanbase - was the bungled final day before the window closed.
Folarin Balogun's proposed £40m move from AS Monaco descended into high farce in the early hours of Wednesday morning after the original deal was renegotiated when issues arose with his medical, ending with the United States striker deciding to walk away from Everton's Finch Farm training base without signing.
When the problem with his medical cropped up, it prompted Everton to pursue a loan deal for Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee, who was happy to sign but was not allowed to leave Old Trafford. A move was also made for Aston Villa's Tammy Abraham but did not progress as the striker wished to remain at Villa Park.
Everton could point to the fact Balogun took a personal decision they could not reverse, but the bigger question is why they took until the final day of the window to address glaring long-term issues?
Kinnear, in what must now be looked upon as an ill-fated recent interview with BBC Radio Merseyside, announced Everton's squad was "in a good place".
After the events of recent days, the word "failure" is being applied to the owners and chief executive, not Moyes. And there will be no hiding place for TFG and Kinnear should things now go wrong.
The "good place" Kinnear spoke about has eventually amounted to leaving Moyes with just one striker in the raw Thierno Barry and only 18 senior, outfield players, a parlous state of affairs for the 63-year-old Scot.
The Everton Fans' Forum issued a lengthy statement featuring widescale criticism of the club, saying the Toffees' squad had been left "dangerously short" in key areas.
"We are demanding competence, preparation and accountability."
All this, however, has been overshadowed by a transfer deadline day that ended as nothing short of a debacle. In reality, they have ended this transfer markedly weaker than when they started it.
Everton are yet to issue any public statement on the events that have led to such damning criticism, fan rebellion and a loss of credibility for owners TFG - but there are many fences to be mended.
Image source, Getty ImagesIn a summer of highly-inflated transfer fees, value has become increasingly hard to determine.
On one hand, the Iliman Ndiaye is a player of superlative skill, evasive, quick and wonderfully entertaining with the ball at his feet.
Ndiaye was responsible for 73 of Everton's 250 completed dribbles last season, the highest share of any Premier League player.
Everton fans may also point to recent moves in the Premier League involving Manchester City, such as the sale of Savio to Tottenham for an initial £75m, as further evidence that the club should have demanded more for Ndiaye.
On the other hand, Everton are effectively quadrupling the initial £16m they paid Marseille to sign Ndiaye two years ago for a player whose underlying numbers, at this stage at least, are not truly elite.
In the Premier League last season, Ndiaye only ranked joint third at Everton alone for goal contributions (nine), with Beto (10) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (12) providing more.
It is reasonable to assume that those numbers for Ndiaye will improve in a more attacking team at City but his general creativity is also middling as things stand.
He created 36 chances in total in the Premier League last season, ranking him only fourth at Everton. Toffees midfielder James Garner created 26 more. Jack Grealish, whose season ended in January because of injury, created eight more.
Grealish has effectively replaced Ndiaye at Everton following his loan move from Enzo Maresca's side.
Casting the net a little wider, 45 Premier League players have recorded more goal contributions than Ndiaye's 19 since he made his Everton debut two years ago.
As a 26-year-old set to be surrounded by better players, it would be no surprise should his numbers flourish at the Etihad.
But even in today's money, £65m for Ndiaye's current output may not be as questionable a deal as it sounds.
