So after another frustrating summer dominated by the Joleon Lescott saga, which has seen more players leave than arrive, Everton fans finally got their wish in the last week of the transfer window with the arrival of three new players.

In have come Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Jonny Heitinga and Sylvain Distin and although they are the not marquee signings many would have hoped for, they are signings which will improve the squad and give it much needed balance in what promises to be an exciting season both domestically and in Europe.

After losing Lescott it was imperative that David Moyes signed new defenders. With Phil Jagielka out injured and the departures of Lars Jacobsen and Nuno Valente, Everton's defence was threadbare to say the least, with Phil Neville having to operate as an emergency center half, so the arrival of both Heitinga and Distin look to be yet more shrewd signings made by Moyes.
