Three Everton questions to emerge from the past seven days include will a free agent striker be signed?
Everton supporters have been put through the ringer this past week or so.
The Toffees oversaw an absolutely shambolic end to the transfer window last week.
A move for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun fell through at the 11th hour after the United States international pulled out.
With Everton having sold Beto to Fiorentina, they now have just one senior striker on the books.
David Moyes also has no expert cover at either full-back, as Everton left themselves extremely thin until at least January.
A hard-fought 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday showed their resilience, but here Goodison News looks at three questions from the past seven days.
Will Everton sign a free agent striker?
If you had told Everton fans that the only senior striker on the books after the window closed was Thierno Barry they would have laughed in your face.
It's not even a dig at the 23-year-old, but it is an outrageous position for a Premier League club to find themselves in.
As well as Balogun, Everton tried and failed with a late loan move for Man United striker Joshua Zirkzee.
Now the question is whether the Toffees might look into the free agency market to plug a gap up.
One option was Jamie Vardy, but he has now officially signed for Burnley so that puts an end to that.
Former Red Devils forward Anthony Martial has been put forward as a potential option, while Jordan Ayew is another consideration after he left Leicester City at the end of last season.
What happens if Thierno Barry gets injured at Everton?
More than anything, this is the issue that will be a huge concern for Moyes.
The Toffees boss has been typically stoic about the situation, talking up the benefits of working with a smaller squad.
But in no world could he have imagined he would have just one option up top by the end of the window.
If no free agent is signed and something happens to Barry, then it will be time to get creative.
Norther Ireland teenager Braiden Graham was on the bench for the United game, but at only 18 he still has a lot of developing to do.
Tyrique George is happier on the wing, but it might be that he could do a job centrally in case of an emergency.
There might also be the potential to use Jack Grealish as a false nine, but that really feels like a move only if Everton are truly desperate.
What exactly is the Friedkin Group's long-term plan for Everton?
A question that all Everton fans are asking, and yet no one can answer other than Dan Friedkin himself.
Toffees supporters are concerned by what the long-term vision is under TFG, especially given the abysmal window they oversaw.
There have also been reports that TFG are looking for outside investors less that two years after buying the club.
It has been suggested that could include selling a significant stake in the club, though that remains to be seen.
Either way, it would be really useful to get some sort of reassurance from the owners on what their vision is for the future of Everton.
