Sean Dyche makes Everton free agents admission and sends transfer plea to supporters
Sean Dyche believes it is unlikely Everton will bring a free agent to the club and has called for patience as he tries to address the imbalances in his squad.
Everton endured a dreadful end to the transfer window with numerous attempts to strengthen Dyche’s relegation-threatened squad resulting in failure. That came despite promises from majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, that the Blues would secure a much-needed striker in January.
Instead it could be said that Everton ended the window with a weaker squad than when it opened with Anthony Gordon being allowed to join Newcastle United in a deal that could rise to £45m.

Everton and Liverpool charged by FA after melee incident during Merseyside derby
Everton and Liverpool have both been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players and benches during Monday’s Merseyside derby.
The two clubs have been charged for an incident that occurred in the closing stages of the match at Anfield. Players and staff from both sides were involved in the fracas.
It all started when Andy Robertson kicked the ball away after being flagged offside, leading to a retaliation from Jordan Pickford. An outraged Conor Coady then appeared to grab Robertson by the neck as both sets of players became involved.
Soon the substitutes on both benches ran down the touchline as the Anfield noise heightened. Amadou Onana and Konstantinos Tsimikas also had a coming together.
