New signings, loan exits, contract situations. There is plenty to do for David Moyes and Everton.
We're just 10 days away from the return of the Premier League season for Everton, but what is there left to do for the Toffees?
Five players have signed permanent deals with Everton this summer. Three midfielders and two wingers.
These positions might not have been a major priority for many Evertonians, but we have seen some positive signings so far. There are still positions that Everton need to strengthen, but there's time remaining for the Toffees to get more reinforcements through the door.
I'm going to say something controversial now... Everton need a right-back desperately. But it's not the only thing we need to see from the club before the start of the Premier League season.
Everton don't need everything to be boxed off by the start of the season. In fact, I doubt most of the factors I'm going to mention will be sorted by then, but there is still work to be done before the summer transfer window closes.
Starting right-back
I'll keep this short and sweet. There's no doubt you'll be bored of me mentioning it, and you'll likely be frustrated yourself.
Everton need to bring in that starting right-back, and ideally by the start of the Premier League season, not just the end of the transfer window.
Jake O'Brien looks set to start the game against Crystal Palace as it stands, which is incredibly disppointing considering the long-awaited pursuit of a starting right-back.
Starting left-back
Everton seem desperate to add large amounts of depth in the middle of the park, but they are less concerned about other positions.
For me, as I've previously mentioned, I'd love to see a starting left-back come in, not just to improve the XI, but to also allow Adam Aznou to head out on loan.
It's not as important as the right-back, but I can't personally see how it's not a concern. Everton seem desperate to progress at a rapid rate, hence the signings of Christian Norgaard and Jack Grealish last season, but they seemingly have no concerns about the left-back area.
I've gone into more depth about the situation, but it should be a primary issue that Everton look to address.
Midfield exit
Due to the signings of Christian Norgaard, Merlin Rohl, and Hayden Hackney, Everton are likely going to need to offload someone in the middle of the park. The midfield options are becoming congested, and due to our significant spending over the last year or so, Everton will need to balance the books at some point.
Tim Iroegbunam is a player attracting interest during the summer transfer window, while Harrison Armstrong could be an option to head out on loan.
In terms of loan exits, we'll move onto that now.
Loan departures
This is something that can wait until the end of the window, and that's usually what happens. I wouldn't be concerned about the lack of loan exits so far. Everton will be looking to assess their squad before the end of the window, then decide who can depart to go and gain first-team experience.
It will be interesting to see the decision made on Braiden Graham. He's done very well at youth level and will need to make the jump soon, but another year with Everton might be smart to allow him to develop more physically.
There is then the Armstrong decision. I'm still leaning towards letting him leave on loan, as I don't think he will get enough minutes with us.
Solve the Ndiaye situation
Losing Iliman Ndiaye wouldn't be a huge disaster if the fee is right, but losing him days before the window ends would be.
Everton need a solution pretty soon. Obviously, that's difficult if interest doesn't arrive until the final days, but another attempt at tieing him down to a new contract in the coming days would make sense.
If we can get him on a new deal with a reasonable release clause which activates next summer, then that puts things to be for the current window.
Everton can't afford to lose him for a significant fee at the end of the window and have little time to spend the money, leading to panic buys and overpaying.
There is plenty left to do, and time is running out.
