seasons

The early signs are that Everton's recruitment has been more successful than in recent seasons - a satisfactory end to a window in which Moyes had earlier aired his frustrations at a lack of activity.

Incoming leads on “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” have historically been contestants from previous seasons.

Foster said he didn’t want to dip so heavily into the transfer portal in future seasons, which would require extensive player retention and success in high school recruiting.

For Martinelli and supporters, the hope is he rediscovers the form of three seasons ago that saw him score 15 league goals.

Both these seasons have also been very dry for many, especially for some regions of England and Wales, where hosepipe bans remain in force and drought has been officially declared.
