Everton's transfer window chatter has centred less on who they signed and more on who they let go, according to BBC News. Since a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth eight days prior, the Toffees offloaded attackers Iliman N'Diaye and Beto, while Nathan Patterson also departed.
Despite the squad depletion, BBC's analysis highlights the fight shown by David Moyes' side in their latest league outing, suggesting the reshaped group didn't let the outgoing business derail their application on the pitch.
With attacking options thinned out following the sales, Everton face a challenging stretch relying on a leaner squad, but the report frames their response as a positive sign of character amid the turbulence of deadline-day dealings.
