Everton chief Robert Elstone expects more excitement this summer market.
One of the key factors behind Everton's progress last term was the club's use of the loan market, in particular the last-minute signing of Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry.
"From a personal point, I look back at the last day of the window," Elstone told the Liverpool Echo. "In the space of two hours we brought in Lukaku, Barry and McCarthy. It was a crazy period and one or two eyes turned our way in a 'How on earth did they just do that?' sense.
"We've had some amazing transfer windows when Jelavic came in and then Pienaar with five minutes left - so Goodness knows what's going to happen in August."
